A very nice stay, the condo was very clean, enjoyed myself very much. My only comment is it’s a bottom floor unit on a corner so there was a lot of foot traffic and talking people going by the condo bedroom at all hours. I could hear the people walk around in the condo above. I would stay here again.

Lovely!
A beautiful property very close to a rocky beach. There is also a saltwater pool next to that for swimming as well as a swimming pool. The condo was well stocked, comfortable and clean. The only negative was that there was no air conditioner in the bedroom, only the main room. But other than that, super!!

Exactly as advertised. Easy and free parking. Very clean unit. Queen Bed was ok, but not great. 2 ceiling fans and a floor fan worked well. Small wall mount AC works great for living room, not great for the bedroom even with the fan suggestions. You may find it sleeps a bit too warm. High speed internet, worked great. TV had a lot of channels, I mean a lot! The complex is very very quiet, which was nice. This Unit is a ground floor end unit next to the parking lot, which was great to move in/out and for packing our golf clubs daily. It worked really well for us. The small lanai was great for morning coffees. Condo was stocked well with everything you would expect and more. There is a stair case next to the bedroom windows, you will hear people using it when you are in bed. The location is great; far enough from town to be away from the noise and most homeless. Close enough to walk 30 mins, or take a 5 minute $7 Uber. We took Ubers which were easy to get and always friendly. The condo waterfront is great to watch the waves and the sunsets. Beautiful sunsets! Site check-in was easy, communication with Michael was too…although we never really needed him. Overall, we were very happy with the stay. Would recommend for sure. Thanks Michael!

Very pleasant stay
We enjoyed staying at this condo. Location cannot be more perfect. We watched the sunset every single day. The fact that we had everything we needed (beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler box) to go play at the beach with our 17 month old baby every morning, it’s just beyond our expectation. We also love the idea of the quiet time from 10pm to 8am. We dont have noise ordinance where we live so it’s a nice thing to have when on vacation. Michael is super responsive and helpful. We were confused abt the door mechanism at first so hopefully it will get fixed soon for future guests.

Amazing stay
We had a pleasant stay. Michaels place was just about perfect. We think it is our favourite condo out of the ones we ever stayed in Hawaii. Very nicely decorated, clean and equipped with everything you would ever need. The location was close to all things important and also not right in the middle of it. The grounds were really well kept, great pool also with amazing place for watching sunsets. Only downsize would be that these condos have not really soundproof windows in the bedroom and this particular being right by the staircase and main entrance, couple time we got awaken by drunken returning patron. Other than that we loved every bit of it and would love to come back one day. Thank you, Michael

Perfect for our family's month-long stay
Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Michael's place. The condo has a well equipped kitchen, which was nice because we cooked at least two meals a day there. The neighbor was super nice and loaned my kids books to read. The complex has a swimming pool which my kids and I used almost every day, and shaded seating facing the ocean which I found to be the perfect place for me to work remotely. There is a liquor/grocery store right next door which has the essentials. The location of the complex was a short drive from most amenities (20 mins to airport, <10 mins drive to downtown Kailua, <10 mins to Magic Sands beach, 10ish mins to KTA Superstore, 15 mins to Target/Walmart/Safeway). Michael was super easy to reach and provided us with all the information we needed up front, and stayed in contact with us during the trip in case we had any questions. Highly recommended.

This location was a great find! The views from the “beach” area were great for watching the sunset every evening. The condo was conveniently located to the market and to town whether walking or driving. The only downside was the pool being closed for maintenance. But, management made it easy for us to use the pool next door. The condo was well stocked and very clean. We didn’t spend much time there except at night, but we had everything we needed. I appreciate that directions for check-in and check-out were very clear. Thank you!

Our family had a wonderful time on the big island, the condo is in a great location, close enough to Kona to enjoy, but in a peaceful area. We were able the eat breakfast out near the ocean at the condo complex. The sunsets were beautiful from the same spot. Enjoyed talking to some of the residents and other vacationers. The condo was nice and had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Hawaii.

You'll be part of a community while you're there
Excellent spot to hang out at or use as a day trip base. Right on the ocean, we saw whales, Spinner Dolpnins and fish galore. Sunset is a community event (like a happy hour of sorts). Grounds are well kept by the resident manager (thanks John!). Our unit was close to the parking lot, so if you're a light sleeper..... Unit was fairly well supplied (could use more small spoons). Over all, we'd stay at Kona Isle again!

Comfortable and convenient location.
The unit itself has been updated and is very comfortable and clean. Very nicely decorated with a great Hawaiian vibe. Lots of amenities provided which makes it very convenient when going to the beach. Michael was very quick to respond to messages. The property is very well maintained. They replaced barbecues to industrial ones during our stay. They worked very well. The only suggestion I can make is that they fix the lighting at the beach / barbecue area. One working light when the sun goes down at 5:30 pm made for a slightly dark dining experience at the beach. Clean pool area.

Beautiful and Clean Unit - Excellent Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unit - the place was newly remodeled, beautiful, and very clean. Check in and out was straight forward and well explained, and communication was a breeze. Bed was comfortable, shower was spacious, and the sliding glass door leads right out onto the lawn towards the ocean. The kitchen was extremely well and even had plenty of spices, ingredients, and oil for cooking. The closets had plenty of extra materials like snorkel equipment, pool noodles, boogie boards, beach towels, beach bags and umbrellas. Living space was enjoyable and the smart TV had all the apps you could want for streaming too. The grills out by the ocean past the pool worked well for cooking fish and watching the sunset. Overall we would certainly stay here again!

Great location and very clean!
The location was great as it is an ocean front and distance is centralized. The unit was updated, very clean and comfortable. Kitchen supplies was very complete and impressive. The only thing is the noise level from upstairs and from the bedroom windows which happens to be a hallway/ walkway to and from the parking lot and the ocean front area. Would have been perfect if not for the noise.

2 Months in Kona
The condo was a lovely space. Perfectly located, just outside of downtown; so it was quiet, except for the birds and the waves, but still close enough to get into town with a short bike ride or drive. The condo had high quality snorkel sets, which were very useful for adventures especially with how close good snorkeling was. The rest of the complex skewed older (think 40+), but everyone was incredibly friendly, and there was always good natured conversation happening down by the water for sunset. Oh, and there were grills right by the ocean, so you could grill and hunt for the green flash at the same time. Michael was incredibly responsive, and very easy to work with. All in all, 10/10, 5/5 however you want to call it, would stay again.

Great place to stay & great location
This property was a great place to stay while on Kona. We were only five minutes from all the restaurants & shops. Plus close to some really nice beaches. Cleanliness was our only complaint, but the manager said that he would be looking into that & seemed to take our complaint seriously. The property manager was easy to get ahold of & quickly responded to any of our questions. The back seating area where the pool & grill are was our favorite. It was beautiful to sit out there & watch the sun set while grilling dinner. Highly recommend!

Kona Isle Condo
The Kona Isle landscaping and facilities are well taken care of and have something for everyone. Our condo had air-conditioning and fans that kept the temperature inside comfortable either day or night. There was adequate room for our stuff including clothing, food, etc. One thing we wished for was a kitchen step stool since the cupboards were high and there was not an safe stool to stand on to get things. The location was good, being close to shopping and other areas that we wanted to go to. It worked well for the two of us.
