Nicely remodeled unit.






















Very nice remodeled unt.From the living room, bathroom and the bedroom, top notch. We thought it was quite spacious.. Have only one suggestion. We believe a table lamp on the east end of the couch would be a plus. We brought the lamp from the veranda in. Worked well for tv time. That is it. Thanks.

Everything was quite satisfactory until I woke to concrete demolition on an adjacent deck which later in the week was on our deck. The racket broke to peace and quiet of sitting on our lanai. We had no warning and no offer of adjustments. Otherwise quite nice.

So very sorry that the construction crew disrupted your stay. Unfortunately, we didn't have any control of when and where they were working next.

Our experience started on the wrong footing when we first step into the condo. I had to make calls to the manager immediately requesting assistance. The manager was great in responding to our calls. All the issues were remedied by the next day. The unit was very nice with great view of the ocean from the lanai. We ate most of our meals there. The kitchen was a bit tight. Otherwise the rest of the unit was quite comfortable. AC units worked great. Didn't have to run it very long to cool down the entire unit. The water pressure in the shower was good. We enjoyed the condo and the grounds were well kept. Very pleasant stay.

We simply had an amazing stay. The condo itself has got so much to offer. It’s vast, clean, filled with amenities and the balcony overlooking the courtyard is a real gem. We could ramble on and on but instead will simply say that we would not hesitate a second to go back. If you choose this unit, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again.

We loved this vacation rental, because it was very quiet situated, had a wonderful garden, was large and well equipped. The management was helpful. But the booking could be done easier, as we experienced in other similar condos: less mails (we got all twice from Knudson and ), some several times, a signment of a rental agreement we had in no other case and this was stressful for us, the download of an extra app we think is not necessary, a mail with the entrance codes one or two days before would be satisfying.

We stayed 10 days in this condo. The condo itself is a bit dated, but clean and offers everything you need for your stay in Kona. Beach items were provided which is a must for your adventures to nearby beaches and snorkel locations. The property managers were awesome to deal with and responded quickly to any inquiries we had. The grounds of this complex are very nice and very quiet.

Generally very pleasant. Good location and property. Well laid out. Two minor things for the mgmt company vs Airbnb or vrbo experiences; too few consumables for longer stays (tp, paper towel, trash bags, etc) as these are not available in the small quantities needed, and paperwork is way over the top in your rental process.

Very nice.

This was our first trip to Hawaii and our stay at Kona Makai started out with a couple of problems but ended perfectly. When we first arrived we could not get the lockbox open, but after calling Knutson & Associates, we had the problem solved within the hour. The other issue was guests in the unit below who were constantly smoking and filled our unit with smoke. This was also quickly resolved with help from Don, the property manager. Other than that, unit 3203 was perfect; clean, well-stocked with kitchen items, beach gear, towels, linens and had a beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai. We especially loved the gorgeous sunset views each evening while we were grilling our dinner out by the beautiful pool!

Manager's Response

Aloha Karen, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your check-in experience didn’t match your expectations. It is an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future. We are glad the resident manager was able to solve the smoking issue for you and thrilled to hear that you enjoyed at Kona Makai, otherwise. Please feel free to reach out to us at 808.329.1010. With any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance. Have a wonderful day and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

First time staying at this place, we liked the location, grounds are beautiful and the view from unit was as promised. We would not book again in this unit, the old carpet bothered my asthma...,or at least that’s what I think it was. Bathroom Reno is nice but overall we felt the unit was old & tired. It was surface clean, but it obviously needs a good cleaning behind stuff. A little short on supplies for a 10 day stay.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the review, and feedback! We do sincerely apologize over these issues; we do allow our housekeepers an extra day to clean all units before arrivals, to ensure their cleanliness for your stay. However, we will bring these issues to the owners attention, and do appreciate your feedback. We also do provide a starter pack for your stay, which is intended only to provide you with supplies for the first few days. We do hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise, and were able to enjoy our beautiful island!

The property itself was 5 stars! Loved it. It was well maintained, the location was great, and there was plenty of parking. It was fun to hike around the lava rocks on the ocean and to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets, then jump in the Jacuzzi and relax. The unit was also nice. Clean and well stocked with towels, etc. The two downfalls are with the bedding and the A.C. The A.C was in the form of 2 wall units, which were quite loud. They worked fine but had to run pretty constantly while we were in the unit, including at night. We got used to the noise, but would have preferred a quieter unit. The pillows were as cheap as they come, and the bed actually smelled stale and old. The smell was subtle and we got used to it, but could not get used to the pillows. The bed itself was comfortable. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but I would want to bring my own pillows to spare the neck pain.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for the review, and feedback! We will make sure to bring up the issue of the AC to the owners, and see about replacing bedsheets and pillows. We do hope that you enjoyed your stay otherwise, and apologize again for those inconveniences! We hope to see you again in the future.

This condo was clean and nicely furnished. The general property is beautiful, with a wonderful seating, bbq, dining, pool area right on the ocean It is not near a beach, but we enjoyed walking on the lava rocks, exploring the tidepools, watching the sunsets and snorkeling just steps away. Of course, watch the ocean conditions. On days when the ocean is not rough, this is some of the best snorkeling on the island.

I was very pleased with my first stay at Kona Makai 3-203. Everything was as described and the instructions for arrival were perfectly described, I had no issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, the lovely garden view from the deck and the lounge chairs by the ocean. The property is well maintained, good location, gated entry, no complaints. I couldn't see or hear traffic from this unit. I would stay here again for sure.

This was our second time staying in this unit. We returned again because we like the location and the fact that the veranda faces north allowing us to sit in the shade while units across from this one are in the hot sun all day . Everything was in working order and the owner added some new fans which allowed us to stay cool and make the AC unit work better. Will return next year. Thank you.

I loved every minute of our stay at this condo. It is a perfect size for two people. I loved all the homey touches, including the padded chairs, lounge, rocker and especially the stressfree recliner and ottoman. This is a place for relaxing! We ate almost all our meals on the lanai so we could hear and watch the birds and the waves. I am a plant lover and the grounds around this condo are incredibly lush-like a mini botanical garden. And I loved sitting in front of the ocean each evening to watch the sunset. A very enjoyable experience and I would return in a heartbeat if I have the chance.

Perfect location in Kona Makai in that the lanai off the living room was in the shade all day which allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted on 80+ degree days. King bed comfortable, kitchen with every appliance (big and small) that one could want although we used very few electing to go out for dinners and eat breakfast and lunch in the unit. Grounds well maintained and landscaping beautiful. Cell phone calls not allowed on lanais so sitting outside was very quiet and peaceful. Only inconvenience was having only one key to the unit which I addressed with the property management company. A key is required to get in and out of the pool area so a second key should be made available. Didn't use the small fitness rooms (there are two). Plenty of parking on site and wagons available for taking groceries, etc. from your car to the stairway below the unit, as most units do not have vehicle access to the units. Liked being on the second floor with some ocean view. If we are unable to secure the unit we normally stay in when we visit the Big Island, we would definitely check on the availability of this unit. Pleasant stay. Excellent advance communication from Property Management.company Thank you.

The conco was as shown. It's small, but sufficient, clean, and well maintained. WE picked this condo because of the price and location. We figured we weren't going to be there all that often.
Pleasantly surprised. The grounds were fabulous...(Always workers around caring for the property). I actually think the pictures could be better. The barbeque area is right next to the water, and we spent a lot of time around the area meeting other couples and enjoying the sound of the surf...
The condo is very well stocked with anything you need to cook. It was clean and well supplied with toiletries. It was perfect.
Our only constructive criticism is finding the location of the conddo. Late at night, the property location was easy. But building 3 is not. The layout can be confusing. An owner came in and helped orient us. Friendly people...
We will go there again. We have more diving and exploring to do... Thanks to the owners

This Rental is well equipped,everything is just like the pictures show. Also there are Tommy Bahama beach chairs and a very good quality boogie board.
Great location short drive to restaurants and shopping. Short drive to Magic sands beach and Kahaluu Bay. Magic Sands is great for swimming and boogie boarding, Kahaluu Bay is a great snorkeling spot especially for beginners.
We also snorkeled right there at the condo, its a little tricky getting in and out of the water there, but there were tons of fish and we saw a couple turtles, we were there in late june and water was calm, don't try it if there are big waves.
Grounds around the complex are clean and well maintained, parking was easy and they had wagons for you to put your luggage in to get it the stairs leading to the condo.
I enjoyed going out in the mornings and running down the coast along Alli drive,you can run south for several miles, if you like running.
Room temperature was fine for us a/c was adequate.
We would stay here again !

This condo was absolutely perfect for our vacation needs. Not only was booking through Knutson easy and efficient, but they really helped make sure we were in a condo that fit our budget and worked with us to do so. Right when we walked in we felt at home in this condo. It was very clean, and the view from the lanai was gorgeous. The grounds are very well maintained. We had no issues with any appliances or fixtures and everything worked well and went smoothly. Because Kona (The big island in general) does not have a ton of sandy resort style beaches available for laying out/beach activities, we wanted to make sure we stayed in a prime location that was close to other activities. It was a 2 hr drive to amazing hiking and a little over 3 hours to the volcano. The best part about the location though was the small town vibe of the surrounding area; close to the Kona Brewery, shopping (a Sunday street fair) and great restaurants! We did find a beach down the road, magic sands beach, but it was very small and overcrowded and we stayed less than half an hour.
We already want to go back to Kona Makai! If you are looking for a cozy and comfortable home base for you to come back to once you are finished with a day of exploring, or a nice relaxing place to layout by the pool or in front of the ocean (breath taking rocky shoreline), then book this condo!

well first off the condo looked nice but after being there for a day we found that both air conditioners were broken, the shower flooded, the water alarm went off (didn't even know what that was) took awhile to figure how to turn it off, the dvd player did not work and we were GIVEN A WARNING for using our cell phones on the lani didn't know the rules, none were put in the condo and the rules were on a wall on one of the buildings didn't see them until leaving

Manager's Response

Aloha Donna!

It was a pleasure having you stay at the Kona Makai 3-203. I remember speaking with you on the phone about these concerns. We have replaced both air conditioners, just so everyone knows the good news! We're sorry they were broken when you were there.

The water alarm is a security measure that Kona Makai has to prevent flooding from affecting other units. We looked into the shower, and this should not happen again. We cleared the drain. We are replacing the DVD player, thank you for letting us know! Every guest is instructed to register with the resident manager on site, where the house rules are provided. We apologize you were inconvenienced by onsite management informing you of the rules. We do hope you will provide us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. Mahalo!

It was easy to get this done online and we generally liked the place. I have 3 concerns:1. less than half a roll of toilet paper with no back up in the conco. 2. Stained and worn towels that need to be replaced. 3. Need better path lighting at night. Very dark and they water at night so the path is wet. just add some more closer spaced lights and all will be fine. We enjoyed the location and the kitchen was well supplied.
Thanks,

My husband and I had stayed at Kona Makai 3-203 in June 2012 for a week. There is conveniently located on Alii Drive, but very quiet. We've never heard any traffic.

The room has two lanais. The main lanai was overlooking the ocean and a beautiful garden with tropical landscaping. Having meals at lanai was very relaxing. We listened to the birds singing every morning.
The building is dated, but kept clean well arranged and have good amenities including an electric griddle, rice cooker and a ton of towels.
The pool and jacuzzi seemed newly remodeled which was very nice.

Overall, it was a great stay for the price. we definitely to love to stay Kona Makai again.
