Top Floor Cozy Condo Nestled Among Tropical Kailua Kona Treetops
About this condo rental
Nestled in Holualoa, this charming condo for $109 per night is a great option for your next trip. [June 2020: Due to pandemic concerns, we shut down operations April 1 - June 9; the island has "opened up" again, and we are again comfortable hosting Kona guests! Our cleaning person Dianna, best on the big island, is there to make sure our unit is extra clean!] Tastefully designed and newly upgraded reflecting quality and comfort, this top floor cozy condo is nestled among the tropical treetops, with private lanai and peek-a-boo views of the ocean. My wife and I affectionately call our unit #322 the Kona Dove. It is, in our opinion, one of the more desirable units in the Kona Islander Inn complex; ours is a top-floor unit, away from the traffic noise of Alii drive and Kuakini Highway, but close enough to hear soothing surf sounds at night. Our west-and-south facing lanai has an extra-expansive and open view since our unit is also a corner unit. And my wife Therese is an artist and designer- we keep our unit lovely and clean inside! Kona Islander Inn studio condo description This newly upgraded, top floor end unit features: • Interior artfully designed in hardwood and woven rattan “island style” furnishings, end table, large dresser, café table with two chairs, and an accent chair for additional seating. • Tropical morning sun pours onto your lanai, where you can sip your smoothie and contemplate your day. We’ve added a new patio table, chairs and pull down sun-shade • one comfy Queen-size bed. • Fully equipped kitchenette with brand new microwave, mini refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, electric skillet, cutting boards, dishware, serve-ware and utensils. • A quality 40” inch flat screen TV with remote and free cable. High speed internet available in reception/lobby area. • Cozy upgraded bathroom with new modular shower and chrome fixtures with pocket door off of kitchen for privacy, hair dyer and extra towels. • A lovely bedroom/living area with sliding glass doors that lead out to your private lanai. • New air conditioner with remote control. • Spectacular location in the heart of historic Kailua Kona Town, in close proximity to beaches, snorkeling, cafes, shopping, dining and farmer’s produce and artist’s market. Just a few steps through the garden to the pool/Jacuzzi area where there are two gas BBQ grills for your use.

It was comfortable, good exposure to morning and evening sun. Located behind a church so it was very quiet, for being a 5 min walk to Ali Dr.

Perfect location to the ocean and restaurants. David was very accommodating when we found out our flight was delayed late into the evening. We appreciated the quick response and the ease of working with David.

This condo is perfectly located in the heart of the action with plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance, plus access to the ocean. Just 15 minutes from airport. Loved the partial water view from the balcony and the tropical landscaping around the complex.

We had a great stay at the Kona Dove during our honeymoon! The unit was exactly what we needed for a short 2 night stay - the AC unit was a god send! The most amazing part about this stay is the amazing location!! You are right in the center of Ali’i drive and there are dozens and dozens of restaurants right outside the main gate. We walked every where and it was so nice to be able to avoid traffic. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!

Overall stay was great. Condo clean and conveniently located close to Ali’i Dr. Location of condo within little complex is also good; quiet at night and fairly private on balcony. Parking was not an issue, when a spot wasn’t available, I used parking spaces right off the street in front of main lobby. I didn’t see any starter shampoo/conditioner or beach accessories like some of the other places, but there was all basic amenities you would need, and the price point for rental was appropriate. Overall, I would recommend, great option!

We stayed a week in this lovely apartment with a great sea view. Perfect for walking around the shops , cafes and bars. Less than 100yds from the sea.

We arrived early and waited 20 minutes for our room to be ready. The map of the grounds wasn't quite clear. We used the wrong stairway and as seniors were tuckered when we finally found our room. Needless to say, the stairway next to the unit (to the left of the door) would've provided easier access, had the instructions been clearer.
*From Lobby go down the steps, turn left, follow the path past the pool, make a right after the 1st building, then to the end. Stairway will lead you to the 3rd floor and the unit is the 1st door.*
After a full evening, feeling exhausted from 2 hr drive the stairs were a challenge.
In the morning, we went to breakfast and did some shopping. Got back to the room and our key didn’t work. Went to main desk to find that it was keyed for one night not 2. That got fixed immediately.
Our 2nd night was "stargazing tour" we didnt get back until midnight, with altitude change, the stairs were a challenge.
Lesson learned, as a senior LOOK for ground floor units to book or insure there is an elevator.
Communication with owner was excellent.
Mahalo nui loa!

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights during a wedding weekend at the Royal Kona. To our delight the location was easily walkable. The room was spacious and A/C worked great. The lenai setting in the trees was perfect for our morning coffee. And Dave was very communicative - great host!
5.0
Lovely setting with beautiful mature gardens and trees on the grounds. Back gate on Ali'i Drive along the shoreline of Kailua Bay. Easy walk to an infinitude of restaurants and bars, or get on the road for trips up to the Kona Coast coffee farms, or into the bays along the Leeward Coast for kaying and swimming. Well appointed studio with everything my wife and I needed to relax after a day out.

You’re right in the heart of Kona. No need to drive anywhere. You’ll save money because parking in downtown Kona is expensive. Free parking onsite. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. Very quiet location. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals. Front desk staff is helpful. We will be back soon.

This was the perfect little (clean!!) spot to start off our wedding week. Great for two people and the location is excellent. Dave was easy to communicate with and we will totally be back. Thank you!

Didn’t want to leave!! Walking distance to many businesses. Friendly town. Walking distance to ocean view but not ocean activities; drove to beaches to play and snorkel. Small kitchenette and refrigerator/freezer. Cooler was appreciated.
Bed was comfortable peaceful surroundings, morning coffee on the lanai was sweet
We definitely want to return. 😎😎

Excellent property for a couple or solo traveler. Easy to find and lovely grounds. Condo on third floor and a few stairs to climb up. Convenient to Ali’i Dr w/restaurants, shops, and beaches nearby. We parked the car and walked everywhere. Kitchenette has basics such as coffee pot, blender, small refrigerator, electric skillet, microwave, etc. we had some leftover spices and a cooler that could not go on plane so left in condo and hope the items will be useful for future guests. It was a pleasant stay and we would definitely return to the place should we find ourselves in Kona in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. Clean, compact studio condo with balcony, partial ocean views. Complex is clean and well-maintained. Location is great, directly across the street from the ocean (with no buildings on the ocean side of street) Walking distance to the main Ali'i Ave restaurants and shops. Far enough from the main street so that street noise is not a problem.
Renters should be aware that this is a third floor walk-up with no elevator. Not an issue for us, but be aware if you have a lot of luggage or mobility issues. Parking can be problematic, as parking spaces are not assigned, and there are not enough spaces, so you may be required to find parking on the busy street in front of complex. (At least there is no charge for parking). The "kitchen" is tiny and really is just a small refrigerator basically in the bathroom, which was a little odd. (Reminded me of a Sienfeld episode!) There is one sink shared by bathroom and "kitchen" There is no stove/oven, but there is an electric skillet, coffee maker, etc provided. BBQ's are available in common area by the pool.
We look forward to staying here again on our next visit.

The check in process was nice, the Kona islander inn village is pleasant and well located, close to restaurants and shops.
The condo itself is a bit tired’ and some ants were in the kitchenette.
The AC is nice.
4.0
Host was extremely responsive (both before staying and during our stay) and place was very clean. Had stayed at another unit in the Kona Islander the year prior which had a few additional things (couch indoors/on balcony), but even without this was a very nice location.
Only things that stuck out bringing the rating down slightly were the unit has pool access (and beach access) but did not provide beach towels to guests (so plan accordingly if you stay). The location also did not have paper towel on hand. Last thing, is less to do with the host/unit, but the employee working the check in/check out for the complex was extremely rude and when we asked if bags could be held, she tried to get $20 from us to do so (with no guarantees they would be safe - seems extremely sketchy). Once again, this is more on the complex, but still part of the rental process that was worth mentioning. Overall worth a stay here

Great spot in "downtown" Kona. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, etc. You could probably save some $ and not bother with rental car

The condo was very clean. The location is perfect. However the bed was horrible. Its old and slopes badly to oneside. It needs to be replaced. The air conditioner needs to be clean and possibly replaced as well. It makes a rattling noise and is very disruptive to sleep. We finally turned it off and tried to sleep with the doors open. I wasnt able to sleep much at all.

We love the cosiness of this little place. We would recommend the Islander in to any of our friends. Checking was easy bed was comfy. Good linens.

We had a lovely stay here at this little condo. It was handy for just a couple to stay in and it was literally across the street from the ocean and right downtown. It is on the third floor so people need to be aware that they need to climb stairs but as long as you are able to find basic stairs it isn't a problem. Parking is challenging as the lot isn't big enough for the amount of condos but there is parking on the side street that is just a short walk away and we always found parking there. The last day that we were there the hot water heater broke in our building but Dave immediately called us before we even knew as we were out and about and informed us and was super worried about it more than we were. That was very nice and we appreciated the heads up we just took cold showers for a day even though they had a spot for us to go in another building if we needed to take a hot shower, and it was refreshing actually. Would definitely stay here again!
