Magical!

Jon and Suzanne's property is absolutely magical! The location on the Kona Coast with waves pounding as you sleep, wonderful mornings on the lanai sipping coffee, the close proximity to hiking, snorkeling, beautiful beaches...all make this a favorite! Add to that gracious hosts who supply the condo with everything you will need. Mahalo Jon and Suzanne for another wonderful Hawaii experience!

Kona Makai is a wonderful experience!

The property is kept emaculate and beautiful! The grills are clean, the pool and spa are perfect, walkways and common areas are neat and clean. The condo itself is perfect. It is quiet and relaxing with wonderful breezes and sounds of the surf and the lanai is perfect for watching beautiful sunsets every evening. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need to cook a gourmet meal. This lovely place is a warm and welcoming home away from home with everything clean and tidy. There are beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, mats, boogie boards and anything you might need to have fun! The owner is very responsive to any questions or concerns as well. We could not have been happier with Kona Makai and hope to be able to return again in the future.

The Perfect Condo in Kona

We stayed in this condo in August when the temperatures were hot and the crowds nonexistent. What a fabulous complex! We loved snorkelling off the rocks where we saw myriads of colourful tropical fish, octopus and giant moray eels. I would happily move to this condo tomorrow. I like that it was somewhat removed from downtown Kona. We enjoyed the walk into town. For those that aren't into walking, there is a shuttle (for $2.00, I think) that has a stop at the next condo complex. The owners have thought of everything and stocked the closets with all manner of beach equipment. We loved the beach chairs with the pockets that you can carry on your back. Very handy. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Sunsets were fabulous, the views from the lanai and bedroom were wonderful. Breezes off the ocean were lovely while sitting on the lanai. There's AC for those hot days. We saw whales and dolphins in the cove and mongooses slinking amongst the beautifully kept gardens. The condo was very quiet and relaxing. The saltwater pool was a great place to relax and watch the stars at night. I don't think any improvements need to be made to this condo. It was the perfect vacation spot for my husband and me and we will be booking it again.

Great ocean front location

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. it was clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, the bed was comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean waves at night. There is a new 65" TV in the Living Room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony was watching the waves hitting the lava rocks and reading. There were lots of beach chairs and beach toys which was really nice. This is a second floor unit without an elevator, so that might be a problem for some. The owner is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will be back.

Even better than it looks!

We knew the view from the lanai was going to be wonderful, but we did not know that we could see & hear the Pacific from the other side of the condo right over our king-size bed. The grounds at this condo building are beautifull and very well maintained. .We enjoyed the pool, chaise lounges with umbrellas, the hot tub, and clean community grills during sunset visits with the neighbors. The condo is well stocked, has a large kitchen and bath, and fantastic beach supplies!
