Why James and Karen Coleman chose Kona Coast
Been going to the Big Island of Hawaii for over 20 years and staying at the Kona Makai Condominium Property. It's construction and location and garden like manicured grounds make it so inviting. Typically very quiet and relaxing non-smoking complex and property.
What makes this condo unique
Right on the ocean this property has a million dollar west facing view with beautiful sunsets. With a nice pool and hot tub, exercise facilities, and tennis courts and a small ocean cove which you can enter the warm pacific ocean all right there - you will soon see what we fell in love with. Close to downtown shops, markets and dinning.

Beautiful, clean, functional, well situated
We loved our stay at the Kona Makai. That is a beautiful property and it is very well-maintained. That is clear for us that if we would come back, we would come back at the exact same place!
The only drawback is that there were workers installing solar panels on the roof, and they were beginning pretty early in the morning. Their machinery was noisy. They seemed to be pretty advanced in their work so it will be ended when you'll come. Moreover, that's for a good cause!
Thank you so much !
Little piece of heaven
We couldn't be happier with our stay. James and Karen were easy to work with and very accommodating. The condo was just outside of Kona, so it was away from the noise and traffic, but close enough to have easy access to all that Kona has to offer. It was amazing to watch the sunset from the patio and hot tub. The beds were comfortable, it was clean and well taken care of. Would stay here again! Mahalo!!!
Great place to stay.....
This was our first time at this complex...great choice.....the grounds were beautiful. The condo was nicely updated everything you need except the food for the fridge.....the pool was spacious lots of room and never crowded...nice BBQ area...we had a great time here..the owners of the condo were great to work with..We are looking forward to our next trip here to KONA and our stay at the Kona Makai....
Well appointed unit, has everything you need and more!
Beautiful gardens, awesome BBQ area, great pool by the ocean with lots of chairs, friendly guests. Tastefully renovated unit is well located, bed and pullout are most comfortable, well stocked cupboards, even sauces in the fridge for use, limited oceanview from lanai because of foliage.
Great condo, great location, all the amenities
Kona is not known for it's beaches. But that's okay, because I'm not so fond of swimming with the fishes. But I do love watching the waves. This condo has a great little swimming pool, a great little hot tub and a wonderful area where you can sit and hang out and watch the waves crashing on the rocks all day and all night long.
The condo is great - bedroom has a king sized bed and a great overhead fan. The living room has a sofa and a love seat and a chair, so no one has to touch anyone else while they lounge under the fan. The balcony/deck has a lounge chair and a table for four, and another fan. Basically if you leave the screen doors open, you never need to turn on the A/C.
Kitchen is well equipped (we left you some bottled water). The BBQs are communal and overlook the ocean, so you may argue over who gets to cook. The washer/dryer was really nice. Really nice. It meant we came to Hawaii for 10 days with carry on, which was a great cost savings ($100/each, at least).
We have a rental car and we have been bopping around the island. There's a great BBQ place 1 mile down the road in one direction, and a whack of stores and restos about 1.5 miles in the other direction. Lots of walkers and joggers. Parking "downtown" isn't cheap. Park up the hill a block or so in a mall parking lot and walk down to the action.
We liked it so much here we actually asked around about how much it costs to buy a condo. I can reassure you that you're getting a great deal.
Big Island Adventure
First time to,the Big Island. Lots to see and do. This location and the condo itself was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to visit the Big Island. The Howards
Map
There are many activities you can enjoy on the Kona Coast and on the big island of Hawaii - but you can also just sit back, relax, and stay in! The condominium and the Kona Makai complex are a wonderful place to do just that. There are a number of activities you might consider during your stay.
An excellent and often-updated guidebook to the whole Big Island is "Hawaii the Big Island Revealed: the Ultimate Guidebook". (There is a copy for your use in the condo - please keep it indoors and "clean and fresh" for other guests.) You can do a google search for this book and other information and activities that you may be interested in during your stay. If you use Facebook you can search for "Kona Makai Condo" and visit our page and see a variety of photos and activities.

This is our second home and we reluctantly have made it available as a rental. Please treat our home as if it were you own. Had it not been for others making their units available, we would have never discovered this beautiful property. It's our hope that making our unit available will ensure others get to experience the magic of the Island and the tranqulity of the Kona Makai.
