Downtown Kona. 250 feet from your toes in the water with an unobstructed view!

Beautiful studio condo with legitimate ocean view from the nice lanai. Look across a green area right out to the ocean. There will be sunset views from your private lanai. Great use of space in this unit, with a queen size bed, full refrigerator, desk and chair for working, smart TV and high speed internet. There is a two-sided galley area for bath and simple food prep area. Great in-town location with items like restaurants, night spots, and shops literally steps away. Just across the street is a white sand beach but with lava rocks at entry. *****Price is per two guests. Really is best for two considering the size of the condo. ***** If owner agrees to additional guests, each additional guest is $50.00 per night. ******
Amenities at the Islander include a beautiful pool area with a large hot tub. There are two gas grills for the use of guests that opt to not eat out or use the items in the food prep area to cook and store foods. Full size refrigerator as well as a mini fridge. No stove top.
Grounds are landscaped with an emphasis on local plants, and the results are lush and colorful. Air conditioner was replaced in May 2024 . Pets are not allowed unless service animals and must coordinate paperwork withtheassociation and your vet. The Islander is a well established condo complex in the heart of downtown Kona. With a large variety of eating establishments, farmer's market within a block and so many things to do. Look at taking the free trolly all over the greater Kona area.
PRICES FOR IRONMAN ARE A FIRM 399 A NIGHT AND FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO WEEKS.

Kona Days
This property was bright, clean and had all the stuff you would need for a great vacation, beach towels and chairs, boogie boards, dishes, etc. It was in the middle of the strip, across from the beach. Tons of shops and restaurants near by. Parking was tight if you came home too late, but there was street parking within 5 min. Our friends had rented another condo in the same building, but ours was heads and tails much better that theirs, from cleanliness to communication with the host. Our shower head holder had broken with the previous guest, and the owner had his maintenance man come fix it with in 24 hrs. Being on the strip, there was traffic noise during the day, but I would certainly stay there again.

Great little place
Great place directly across from a lu5le beach spot. Very convenient to walk to food and shopping. Use of the beach chairs was awesome. Close to walmart and safeway. The complex is beautiful. Snorkle gear and a small cooler were also handy! You will enjoy being in the middle of things except for at night if you are on the street side. It is noisy with cars, music, and motorcycles. But it ends by midnight or sooner. Fun place

Fantastic Location
This is the perfect spot to check out everything Kona has to offer. You can walk to everything you need including a nice beach. You can watch the sunset from the lanai. The only caution is that there is no place to put your clothes. There are hangers in the closet, but no available drawer space. This minor inconvenience does not take away from this perfect location.

Great base for visiting the Big Island!
Had everything we really needed, and a beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai. In the center of Kailua, we could walk to multiple restaurants and beaches. When we contacted the owners with an issue, it was handled promptly.

Cute Condo Across the Street from the Beach
I loved the overall location in terms of proximity to stores and food but the beach across the street was rocky and inaccessible. Plus, the street noise with people blaring music is non stop even into the late hours. The good news is that the slider blocks most of the noise :-) I wish the place had a few more amenities like a hot plate, kleenex, and bit more cleanliness. This is pretty handicap accessible for someone who needs little/no stairs but parking is nuts, so unless you're back by 5, you're walking downhill and FAR. I didn't mind but just something to keep in mind. Owners communication was helpful. Overall a solid 4 stars.

My partner and I loved staying at this property. The location of the property was great and very walkable. It was so nice being able to see the beach from the room and the property was better than how it looked in the pictures.The property was supplied with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we would love to come back and stay here again.

Loved it. Location is top notch. Couple caveats to set expectations.
This property was a perfect "home base" for my wife & I to explore the Big Island. Great local shops & food in walking distance. The view is fantastic; overlooks a main road & then a lava stone shore & the ocean. Fun to watch the waves and people/cars going by. The description's claim "250 feet from your toes in the water" is a stretch. Private property and the rocky shore preclude immediate access to the water. A park not too far away has ocean access though. Though in the middle of things, noise isn't a problem. The provided fan and AC can easily provide white noise to crowd out any unwanted sound. And the AC works well to cool the space if desired. The interior is efficient. Not "luxurious," but a very pleasant spot to be. Nicer than the pictures made it out to be. Owner commutation was good. I'd stay here again, but being aware of a few things and having expectations set will make your stay better. First, it's a VRBO. So it has all the garbage (literally!) that goes with that. Your first experience will be initialing all the potential fees you may incur. Your last experience will being annoyed with the thought "I paid a cleaning fee; why am I having to lug all my trash to a dumpster?" Next, the property was clean - but as we entered there were a few bugs and a small lizard inside. My understanding is that's just part of life on the island. Finally, there are not enough parking spaces. Expect to have to find parking off property.

Clean, comfortable condo, perfect for 1 or 2 people. The complex was a hotel in the 60s or 70s and has a vintage Kona ambiance. Lots of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Right across the street from the ocean with a beautiful view and surf sounds. It is in downtown, so there are cars and people going by, but to me that’s part of the ambiance. The condo has a kitchenette with everything you need to make breakfast and simple meals. Very nice clean, quiet pool and spa area. The grounds are planted with abundant, well-maintained ti plants, banana and plumeria trees. The feeling here is not that of a slick, glitzy resort, but a comfortable vintage hotel with local character. Although the condo is individually owned, the front desk staff are very helpful. The property manager for the condo is also easy to reach by phone and very accommodating. She arranged for me to have early access to put perishables in the fridge. I stayed for two nights while my home was tented for termites, and it was a nice stay-cation at a reasonable price.
