"Very nice condo with all you need for a nice stay. Beds were comfortable and location was excellent. The daily garbage collection was the only drawback at 4:30 AM and the beeping of the backup. Not terrible but a little annoying. Otherwise, this was an ideal condo."

"Our family loved their stay at Holly’s property. Our two little ones particularly enjoyed the toys and beach equipment and we loved the fact that there were extra towels and sheets. The lanai was my favorite part of the stay it had the most beautiful view and the sound of the birds was very calming. We would definitely stay again."

"What a great location in downtown Kailua Kona. We stayed for 2 weeks, and Kona Plaza served as a comfortable and convenient place to branch out. We loved watching the paddlers, swimmers and occasional dolphins as the sun rose. The owner gave clear and thorough instructions, and when a small problem arose with the AC, she immediately got a repairman on site (the filter was only in need of a little clean). All of the furniture was very comfortable, and the kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked. We have stayed in several places in Kona (including Uncle Billy's), and we hope to stay there again."

"Kona Shores was the perfect spot for our getaway. It was IMMACULATE and had everything we needed. I did think our unit was be closer to the shore on the property, but it was on the front of the property on the main road. Still, it was still quiet enough with the wind unit AC running. I will say the bathroom door was not not very private, so this studio unit is best for people traveling together who are not shy and know each other quite well!"
