DOWNTOWN KAILUA-KONA AC, FREE WIFI, FREE PARKING, Historic Kailua-Kona Village
Aloha and welcome to Unit #110 Hale Moana (Moh-ah-nah)! This bright and airy studio apartment was freshly remodeled in 2019 and recently updated with new furnishings in April 2021. It is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona. Our studio is the perfect launching point for strolling along the Oceanside, dining, shopping, visiting the beach, taking a day trip or just watching the gorgeous sunsets.
Located on the ground floor this studio allows for easy access. Relax poolside or in the jacuzzi or take a walk down Aliâi Drive where you can stroll along the Ocean while enjoying the best dining and shopping around. But remember to stop and watch the breathtaking sunsets that Kona is famous for.
The studio is fully furnished with a King size bed, a couch that pulls out to a full size bed, four drawer tall dresser, flat screen tv, eating tables inside and on the lanai (in case you would like to enjoy your coffee or cocktail and view the Plumeria trees growing right outside the lanai). There is a brand new air conditioning unit and complimentary high speed Wifi.
The kitchen is equipped with a mini refrigerator, induction burner, toaster, coffee maker, utensils and some basic cooking essentials.
The studio has a modern beach cottage vibe and is the perfect place to rest and relax while on your Big Island adventure.
We have stayed at Kona Islander at least a dozen times, all different units. This was one of the best I think due to a few factors. First is the King bed, none of the other units had a bigger bed than a Queen. Also the shower is a bit bigger than most being tiled instead of a fiberglass molded one. It was nice decorated, had everything we needed, and it was very clean. Owner was quickly responsive and lady in lobby was very pleasant. Iâd highly recommend staying here. Be advised the parking can be a problem but if you are back by 4pm you can find a spot.
Location is great, and we appreciated amenities like the hot tub, hairdryer, beach chairs, coffee, etc. However, the sofa bed was dirty with sand and coins scattered as we opened it. Also, the only sink is in the kitchen which was odd to brush your teeth where you also have to wash dishes. And we had no information on how to check in so that was not the most pleasant experience. Lastly, parking was a challenge as the lot was also full. People were quite aggressive about holding spots and we had to drive around to find street parking.
The unit is newly remodeled and super clean. Located within easy walking distance to many food options. And steps from the ocean. Walk to the sea wall to catch the beautiful Kona sunsets. Bed is super comfy and air gets ice cold after a warm day on the island. Really canât ask for anything more from a rental. Itâs five stars for sure!
We couldnât be happier with our stay at this beautifully renovated condo! The owner was very responsive, and helpful when we needed to move the original reservation. Nice furnishings, spotless, and great location within the condo (quiet and close to the lobby and parking lot). Shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away. The beach gear and extendable drying rack for swimsuits/towel came in handy. Highly recommend and would stay here again!
