About this property

Downtown Kona. 250 feet from your toes in the water with an unobstructed view!

Beautiful studio condo with legitimate ocean view from the nice lanai. Look across a green area right out to the ocean. There will be sunset views from your private lanai. Great use of space in this unit, with a queen size bed, full refrigerator, desk and chair for working, smart TV and high speed internet. There is a two-sided galley area for bath and simple food prep area. Great in-town location with items like restaurants, night spots, and shops literally steps away. Just across the street is a white sand beach but with lava rocks at entry. *****Price is per two guests. Really is best for two considering the size of the condo. ***** If owner agrees to additional guests, each additional guest is $50.00 per night. ******
Amenities at the Islander include a beautiful pool area with a large hot tub. There are two gas grills for the use of guests that opt to not eat out or use the items in the food prep area to cook and store foods. Full size refrigerator as well as a mini fridge. No stove top.
Grounds are landscaped with an emphasis on local plants and the results are lush and colorful. Air conditioner was replaced in May 2024 . Pets are not allowed unless service animals and must coordinate paperwork with the association and your vet. The Islander is a well established condo complex in the heart of downtown Kona. With a large variety of eating establishments, farmer's market within a block and so many things to do. Look at taking the free trolly all over the greater Kona area.

Better than the Listings

My partner and I loved staying at this property. The location of the property was great and very walkable. It was so nice being able to see the beach from the room and the property was better than how it looked in the pictures.The property was supplied with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we would love to come back and stay here again.

Lovely Place, Great Location

My sister and I stayed in the Kona Islander Inn Condos before. But it was really nice to be on the ground floor. Great view of the beach and waves across the street. The street is a busy one, a main street so if car noise bothers you, you need one without a view. We loved the patio with bushes for privacy yet we could see over them in the higher patio chairs. It was easy to walk to any place to eat, The market a few blocks down,

Great little place

Great place directly across from a lu5le beach spot. Very convenient to walk to food and shopping. Use of the beach chairs was awesome. Close to walmart and safeway. The complex is beautiful. Snorkle gear and a small cooler were also handy! You will enjoy being in the middle of things except for at night if you are on the street side. It is noisy with cars, music, and motorcycles. But it ends by midnight or sooner. Fun place

Fantastic Location

This is the perfect spot to check out everything Kona has to offer. You can walk to everything you need including a nice beach. You can watch the sunset from the lanai. The only caution is that there is no place to put your clothes. There are hangers in the closet, but no available drawer space. This minor inconvenience does not take away from this perfect location.

Our recent stay was nothing short of disappointing and unacceptable. My partner and I booked this unit for what was meant to be a special vacation, our first together. However, upon arrival around 8pm after a long day of travel, we were met with conditions that left us shocked and deeply dissatisfied.Firstly, the unit was plagued by a pervasive, unpleasant odor that permeated every corner. The tap water, which we expected to use for basic necessities, had a foul smell and was undrinkable. This made it impossible for us to even brush our teeth comfortably. Adding to our dismay, both refrigerators contained leftover food, clearly indicating a lack of proper cleaning and maintenance.Moreover, the listing advertised the unit as a condo, but to our dismay, it was actually part of the Kona Islander Inn—a motel and a crucial detail that was misleadingly omitted. This discovery was not only surprising but significantly impacted our expectations and overall experience.Confronted with these intolerable conditions, we made the difficult decision to vacate the property the following morning and secure alternative accommodations at a hotel. As such, we are requesting a full refund to reflect the complete lack of hospitality and disregard for basic standards of cleanliness and transparency

Kona Days

This property was bright, clean and had all the stuff you would need for a great vacation, beach towels and chairs, boogie boards, dishes, etc. It was in the middle of the strip, across from the beach. Tons of shops and restaurants near by. Parking was tight if you came home too late, but there was street parking within 5 min. Our friends had rented another condo in the same building, but ours was heads and tails much better that theirs, from cleanliness to communication with the host. Our shower head holder had broken with the previous guest, and the owner had his maintenance man come fix it with in 24 hrs. Being on the strip, there was traffic noise during the day, but I would certainly stay there again.

Cute Condo Across the Street from the Beach

I loved the overall location in terms of proximity to stores and food but the beach across the street was rocky and inaccessible. Plus, the street noise with people blaring music is non stop even into the late hours. The good news is that the slider blocks most of the noise :-) I wish the place had a few more amenities like a hot plate, kleenex, and bit more cleanliness. This is pretty handicap accessible for someone who needs little/no stairs but parking is nuts, so unless you're back by 5, you're walking downhill and FAR. I didn't mind but just something to keep in mind. Owners communication was helpful. Overall a solid 4 stars.

Great place, great location! We once again enjoyed this wonderful place as it is so centrally located we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. I love that it's on the bottom floor-no stairs for me. Was a perfect place to relax and read behind the privacy of the plants. Will definitely come back! Mahalo a nui loa!
