About
Kona Makai 2-303 — A Top-Floor Island Retreat Above the Pacific
Wake to the sound of waves, trade winds drifting through open beam ceilings, and the soft glow of the Kona sun rising over the Pacific. Kona Makai 2-303 is a beautifully positioned top-floor, loft-style residence that captures the very essence of oceanfront living on Hawaiʻi Island.
Perched above lush tropical gardens, this inviting retreat offers sweeping views of the ocean, the sparkling waterfront pool, and swaying palms below. Vaulted ceilings and an airy open layout create a sense of space and calm, perfect for unwinding after a day of island adventure.
The primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed, while the upstairs loft provides two twin beds, making the home ideal for couples, friends, or small families seeking both togetherness and privacy. Thoughtfully furnished and well-equipped, the owners have curated the space with comfort and convenience in mind—so you can settle in and feel right at home.
Step outside and you’re immersed in the amenities of the Kona Makai, one of the most desirable oceanfront communities along Aliʻi Drive. Enjoy a renovated heated oceanfront pool and spa, sunny lounge areas, tennis courts, two fitness rooms, gas BBQs for evening grilling, covered parking, and beautifully maintained grounds. The community is gated at night for added peace of mind.
Located just 1.3 miles from Kailua Village, you’re minutes from oceanfront dining, local shops, coffee spots, and vibrant island nightlife—yet far enough away to savor quiet evenings under the stars.
For added comfort, air-conditioning is available via window units in the living room and bedrooms.
• AC is $25 per night for reservations booked after May 1, 2025

Amazing Kona Condo

First off, the location is amazing. You can’t beat the views, and a very short walk, or drive puts you right in the heart of Kona. The only reason I didn’t give it a five out of five in all categories is because the night we showed up the AC in the living room was broken. I called to try to get some fans and to let them know how hot it was, and was told the ocean breeze would cool the place down very quickly. We were unable to utilize the upstairs the first night and our kids had to sleep downstairs on the floor. I called again the next morning when the temperature hadn’t changed at all and insisted they come out and inspect the units. By end of day, on the second day, I received a call that the unit was in fact broken. Unfortunately, we had to spend the second night in a hotel due to heat. The upside is they offered to refund all of our money if we needed to find an alternate location because they weren’t sure they would be able to fix the AC during our stay. To our delight, it was in fact fixed on day three. Our trip after that was pretty perfect . And we would definitely choose to stay on this property. anytime we come back to Kona to visit. I can’t say enough good things about the property management company and their attentiveness to try to fix this problem. Other than the first night, their attentiveness as well of, as the owners was amazing. The owners approved a new AC immediately and everyone was very apologetic. The unit was very clean and had everything we really needed.
Manager's Response
Aloha Beth, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our whole team works very hard to keep our guests happy and we thank you for your cooperation, patience, and understanding regarding the AC issue that unfortunately occurred at the time of your stay. We hope to serve you and your family again soon! Mahalo

Our Kona Makai Condo was very quaint, comfortable, clean, and homey. The property is beautiful, quiet, and well kept. Stunning views with nice amenities such as pool, jacuzzi, lounge chairs for watching the sunset, bbqs etc. Location was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will probably be back.

This is my second time renting from Knutson & Associates and they are a fantastic company to deal with. The rental was as described with a beautiful view and well maintained grounds. The unit is a little older but very usable. We had a very minor issue with a faulty water alarm that Knutson dealt with promptly.

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again!
Unit Needs Work

Quiet, well-maintained complex that's centrally located in Kona with a wonderful view of the ocean. The management staff was very responsive. Having AC units in both living room/bedroom was effective in cooling the place and the washer/dryer worked well. Bed was comfortable. The ample bath and beach towels were appreciated.
The unit, itself, however, is rather tired and outdated. The carpet is dirty with multiple stains, the bathroom tub has mold in the caulk and the wall next to the tub has 2 shades of paint. The jalousie window next to the bedroom AC did not close completely so heat came in, as well as noise from people talking outside. Upon our arrival, there was trash on the carpet near the living room AC, dead roaches in the bathroom and a dead wasp on the carpet in the bedroom.
This unit has lots of potential if the owner would put some work into refreshing it (new paint, furniture, flooring, countertops, cabinetry). Would recommend this complex but in a more updated unit.
Manager's Response
Aloha, we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you were happy with elements of the property. We especially appreciate the comment about the jalousie window as we were not aware and it will help us improve future experiences. The owners have recently purchased the property and giving it touch-ups as time goes on. However, we do deeply apologize for the cleaning issues as that is not at all the norm from our housekeepers or inspection team. We will reach out to you directly regarding resolving this issue and your experience.
Great place association not so great!

We received a couple of notes on our door about using our phones when we are out on the balcony. It didn’t make much sense to us because whether I’m speaking to our mom on FaceTime or sitting at the table talking shouldn’t make any difference. I loved the place but probably won’t stay here again because I want to relax on vacation and not be bothered with too many rigid rules.
Manager's Response
So sorry to hear that you had this experience. Some of the condo complexes here do have onsite resident managers who patrol the area. Glad you enjoyed the stay here otherwise.
We enjoyed our stay but the unit could use a major refresh. We loved all the amenities and really appreciated the boogie boards, chairs and snorkel gear. It seems to be geared towards a quiet older crowd.
Manager's Response
We appreciate your review, we will ensure to pass this along to the owner!
They are constantly doing their best to make improvements!
