"Absolutely loved this hotel! Walking distance from everything in the historic district, but also easy to get on the highway and explore the rest of the island. Parking on site, pool and hot tub and breakfast included all of which is really hard to find in Kona. It was especially nice for the kids to have the breakfast and pool.

Kona Shores#130

10/10 Excellent

"Kona Shores was the perfect spot for our getaway. It was IMMACULATE and had everything we needed. I did think our unit was be closer to the shore on the property, but it was on the front of the property on the main road. Still, it was still quiet enough with the wind unit AC running. I will say the bathroom door was not not very private, so this studio unit is best for people traveling together who are not shy and know each other quite well!"

Beautifully Furnished Downtown Kailua-Kona Hawaii Condo.

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The location of the condo was great, as it is very convenient to local shops and restaurants. The space itself is cozy and stylishly furnished, and the fantastic A/C was a welcome comfort after a long day of sightseeing. We encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, but Beverly was incredibly responsive and ensured everything was resolved perfectly. We greatly appreciated her quick and gracious assistance!"
