The property manager, Dawn, was terrific handling the issue I had. Door lock was difficult until you figure it out. The furniture was pretty old and uncomfortable. Kitchen was sparsely stocked.
The bed, however, was nice and comfortable.

This was the nicest and best-equipped condo we have booked at Kona Makai. We have stayed at various condos there over the years, so we had others with which to make a valid comparison. We hope we can book the same unit the next time we visit the island.

Booking agent and owner were great, property decent, actual onsite management is a pain. After 10+ years of Kona Makai we are moving on. No this, no that, don’t do this, don’t do that, our group had four units, we all had verbal or written notices. No surf boards on any lanai even ones that face the parking lot, don’t laugh to loud on your porch, don’t drink coffee from a glass cup at the ocean front kitchen, don’t use the exercise room to early, don’t play pickle ball on the tennis court. Don’t, don’t, don’t. Rules seem to apply to all but those that make them. I’m over it.

Ground floor condo had a partial view of the ocean and had lanai on both sides. Well equipped and supplied recreation equipment and kitchen. Pretty true to description. Just a few things to note. Fold out sofa bed was unpleasantly unclean and the closet sliding doors were inoperable or moveable.

The unit was clean but is in need of some repairs. My husband fixed what he could without tools.

This unit is far better than advertized. It is very clean, in good condition, and bigger than it looks. The location of the property is right on the ocean, the pool/deck area is perfect for watching sunsets. It is within a mile of the Kona waterfront and beaches, and just 15 minutes from the airport. We never had a problem with parking as there are plenty of spaces available, many being right outside the front door. There are two lanais to enjoy; the main lanai is perfect for breakfast with the sunrise.
We were very pleased with the amenities; the kitchen was wonderful in every respect, the bathroom was very clean and in good condition, the bedroom was large with a comfortable bed and linens. The A/C units worked to perfection cooling the entire condo on the hot days we were there. The ceiling fans are newer than the ones shown in the photographs and are silent and effective.
The unit comes with other unlisted amenities such as beach chairs, snorkels and fins, coolers, etc.
The front door can be tricky to open, but once you get the hang of it it's no problem. Just pull the door toward you and turn the key at the same time and it opens right up.
My wife and I look forward to returning to this property in the future, it is our home away from home in Hawai'i. 5 stars for sure!

Great stay!

Nice property in a good location with easy access to island attractions. Very quiet and peaceful property. Comfortable bed. All windows and screens in working condition. Great supply of beach chairs, umbrella, towels and household items. Lovely lanai with comfortable seating.
Things that need improvement: 1) Replace the door lock. Better yet, install a digital lock. The amount of effort required to unlock the door is ridiculous. 2) Eliminate the unpleasant musty odor...perhaps deep clean or replace living room furniture cushions. 3) Upgrade bedroom air conditioner. It was so noisy, I barely used it. 4) Replace the bedroom ceiling fan/light fixture...it wobbled, was noisy and did not provide much air movement even at a high speed. 5) Fix or replace the living room ceiling fan/light fixture...could not get to turn on at all.

We love staying at the Kona Makai, but this was not the cleanest unit that we have stayed in. It needs a good deep cleaning! We love the condominiums and the relaxation that we are able to get there!

Great stay at Kona Makai
We really enjoyed our stay here. Recently remodeled and very clean. And it had pretty much everything we needed. My toddler daughter also really enjoyed her time here and she definitely lets us know when she’s not happy! :)

First issue this is the listing for this unit. (Beautiful condo! Oceanfront complex. Great Amenities! Kona Makai 5-106)You can't even see the ocean from this unit or hear it! There was a small problem with check in and I never received the email with the critical information on like codes to get in the lockbox for keys, but these things can and do happen.By the end of the first day we did accumulated a list of issues needed me to be corrected for our 14 day stay. #1 the front entrance door was sticking so badly my petite wife could not push the door open.#2 the floor to ceiling mirror closet doors two of the three were off track very difficult to slide open and the possibility of falling.#3 the remote that controls the ceiling fan and ceiling light was not operational. We could not turn the light off at night without turning the ceiling fan off. So these were annoyances So there is the end of our first day time to take a shower go to bed turn on the water get in and the shower drain backs up so you're standing in ankle deep water!Spoke with the complex manager the next day and they were most apologetic and offered to move us to a different unit but at this point I said no I will just deal with it. ------------- should have moved-------------Also the maintenance person completed the repairs in two days; things don't move very fast on the islands.Day 12 raw sewage backed up into the shower!!All of these issues are things the owners have to do it's called maintenance and obviously it's not being done in this unit. You would think that the owner could provide more than one glass and two juice glasses for their customers but then again when you step back and look at the whole thing it's very obvious all of the items in the kitchen were purchased at a secondhand store.After spa time with people who own their units I was inform that plumbing issue is a old one. SO THE OWNER KNOWS THIS AND STILL RENTED IT OUT.

Great place
Attractive place. The development is right on the water. The unit had everything we needed, either from Dawn or possibly from other folks having left things such as beach towels behind. Other pluses: the kitchen was surprisingly well appointed and the bed was super comfortable. The only real downside for us was the in the bathroom: the tub drains very slowly and the toilet often needed a second flush to take care of business. Overall, a great place we'd stay at again.

Extremely nice property. Very well maintained area.
The condo was the perfect size for this trip. Good location in Kona. Very quiet, we barely heard any noise from neighbors. The condo itself was great. A lot of items that are needed to spend a day at the beach are there. Parking was awesome, a lot spots open right by our condo. AC everywhere in the house was the best. The fold out couch bed was somewhat uncomfortable but it worked fine and I lost no sleep from it. Only small issues is we were provided with no garbage bags, there was a box but it was completely empty and the coffee maker probably needs to be replaced as It is falling apart but we were still able to use it just had to be careful.

Cute and nice grounds
Overall our stay was nice, the condo is in good shape, quiet, and was well stocked. You have a partial view of the ocean from the back lanai and the grounds are beautifully kept and tons of geckos and butterflies to watch. The only issues we had were with the WiFi, if you have any business online -good luck, it’s terribly slow and disconnects often. The other small issue was the queen, not so comfy bed. Would highly recommend getting a king in there or at least upgrading the mattress. Management answered any questions we had quickly and we had a pretty decent time considering all the volcanic activity happening on the other side of the island. :)

Great Kona Apartment
My husband and I loved the apartment - it is small, but the rooms are spacious and the lanai is large. The property is very well kept, there is a nice picnic/BBQ area beside the ocean. This building is one of the further ones from the ocean, but there is still an ocean view from the lanai. The kitchen is very well equipped and stocked with salt, pepper, spices, oil, etc. There are beach chairs, towels and a picnic cooler. There is AC in the living room AND bedroom, which was great! The apartment has a washer and dryer and plenty of soap and dryer sheets were provided. Dawn, the property manager, was incredibly well organized and provided great communication. I would definitely recommend this property.
There were a few issues that led to us giving 4 stars rather than 5: The bathtub and bathroom sink drain very slowly. As there were 2 jugs of Liquid Plumber under the sink, this is an ongoing issue. I hate standing in water when I'm showering! Also, neither my husband nor I found the mattress comfortable. We did sleep, it just was not the most comfortable for us. The dishwasher does not clean well. I rewashed all of the dishes by hand when we arrived. I also cleaned out the food trap on the dishwasher, but it didn't improve the cleaning. These issues were small in comparison to the great amenities at the property.

Very clean & cozy
Had everything we needed for cooking, including some spices and supplies. The kitchen was new and nice. Had a great location; the complex is very well maintained, quiet and pretty. Had good outdoor equipment available, including a cooler that we used. The only issue was the bathroom toilet and sink were slow draining. The rules of the toilet were in the drawer in the bathroom which we didn't find for a few days. It should be visible or put on the rule sheet in the kitchen. The door lock was a little troublesome, it may need some lubricant or something so it doesn't stick. Overall, we loved the space!
