Fantastic Cost and Quality

This studio condo had everything we needed for our stay in Kona. The cleanliness and quality of the unit was top-tier, and exceeded any VRBO we've ever stayed in. Vicki was a great host, with effective, excellent communication before and during our rental. We highly recommend this rental, and would look to rent from Vicki again if we were ever back on the island.

Surprised so close to busy road

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Shores, but initially were dismayed with the location of our unit with a busy road right outside the bedroom and the lanai located surrounded by the parking lot. In a little quieter location the space would have been perfect as it was very clean, well stocked and convenient to beaches. Thanks!

December 2024 stay

What an amazing experience and host (Viki)!!! Viki provided an abundance of information on things to do, places to eat and anything you might want to know in the area. All amenities you could possibly think of where there and ready at our disposal. She even offered accommodation for early check in without us asking. The bed was very comfortable and the location of the property was in close relation to so many things! We will definitely be staying here again!!

Nice Place

The apartment is close to the shops and restaurants within a short drive. The apartment has everything we needed so it was comfortable. It’s right next to the main road but quite at night. It’s also about 20-30 minutes from the airport so it was convenient. We had a nice stay.

Exceeded expectations

Our stay was wonderful. From the moment we booked, until our checkout, we never had to worry about anything. You can tell Vicki is very good at being a host and anticipating guests' needs. We especially loved the pool with amazing sunset views; this is such a great asset to this property. I was a little worried about noise from the road due to proximity, but this was not an issue. We were very comfortable staying here, and I would recommend to anyone!

Great stay!

This is a very comfortable condo in a great location. The host is wonderful, easy to communicate with, and included personalized touches to make us feel welcome and almost like family! She offered early check-in when the condo was ready, and she followed up with a personalized note after the stay. The space was clean, well appointed, and perfect for me and my teen while visiting the big island. You can walk to shopping/restaurants or catch a great sunset poolside here. I would definitely recommend this place for a visit!
