We had a wonderful stay here during the Ironman World Championships. Ed is an incredible host and will go above and beyond to make your stay here as wonderful as possible... 5++++
Thank you
Everything you need is provided in the kitchen. the balcony and living space are very comfortable and the 2 bathrooms are very nice. The twin beds in 1 room are very practical and the pool and hot tub are great. Owner was very responsive to all our needs.
Very comfortable place to stay with everything we needed. Great location. Owner was always quick to respond. Check in and out made easy. Would love to stay again if we make it back!
HAd one small issue with the AC unit - and owner got it handled right away. Was very quick to respond. Place was clean and beds were comfortable. Quite a few friendly cats cruising around as well. Pool area was nice. Would stay again without hesitation.
Ed's place was perfect !
Great location and amenities.
Very easy communication with the host and he made sure we had everything we need.
We stayed during the Ironman and I would stay there again if needed.
This unit was very clean, a great location and was stocked with all the amenities you could possibly want for a trip to the big island! The owner of this condo was extremely thorough on what was provided at this location! We had the trip of a lifetime! Highly recommend staying here!
We had a great time on the Big Island and the stay here made it even better. It was the perfect home base, from the well-stocked kitchen to the pool to the AC to the great selection of books. The kitchen even had a crock pot, which was great for starting a meal and heading out for the day. During our stay, we ran out of trash bags and new bags were delivered the next day. Great place for a family of 4!
Large master bedroom with renovated bathroom.
Good location near white sands beach.
Costco, Walmart, Target and Long's within 20 to 15 minutes.
Lot's of restaurants near, including mom and pop restaurants.
We were very pleased with our stay. This was our 1st trip to Hawaii, and I had communicated with Ed and he was great with tips. Shops with in easy reach, and lots to do on the big island, all with in driving reach. The place itself is very well kept & well stocked with every thing that you can think of. Towels & beach gear - even snorkels & a cooler to carry your drinks or lunch if you need to keep it cold for a day trip. We stayed 8 days & we had so much to do & see that we didn't have any time to enjoy the pool that is with the property - which also has a gas grill if you wanted to grill something to eat for dinner or lunch. Overall an A+ rating for our stay here.
The condo was perfect and exactly as described. We had all that we needed for a great stay. Several beaches were within walking distance and only really required a small drive to wherever we wanted to go.
The whole team's kindess was amplified when my daughter became sick and we had to extend our stay by one day. Ed and his boss found us a unit in the same building to occupy. I was very impressed and grateful for their kindess.
I would highly recommend.
Our family of 4 had a wonderdul stay at the Royal Kahili. Amazing location across from the ocean and close to Keauhou and Kailua town. The pool grounds were beautiful. A lot of tables and chairs and loungers to hang out and bbq. We enjoyed many hours at the pool. It is a quiet complex. The condo itself was cozy and clean with comfortable beds. There were beach towels and chairs to use which were much appreciated.
Royal Kahili is an older complex built in the 70s. Definitely shows some signs of age. The parking lot is small and can be tight if you have a larger car. But we would stay here again. We stayed for a week and were sad to go. This place is a hidden gem.
We had an amazing stay at Ed's condo in Kona! Its is so roomy and the perfect space for the 4 of us!
The kids really enjoyed having their own bed and said they were so comfy. My husband and I slept very well too!
The grounds of the condo are so beautiful and we enjoyed the pool every night!
Ed is a super host and only a quick text/call away. When we spoke he gave us some good recommendations on beaches and food.
The condo is in an ideal spot to travel around from and you can hear the ocean. If you are thinking of booking your stay here, do it!! We cant wait to come back and stay again.
Ed was great to work with right from the start. Quick to respond to communications and always very friendly. The condo was easy to find, right off Alii Drive. Condo was close to parking spot, 3rd floor but elevator was steps away from parking and front door to condo.
Condo was very clean, well laid out and had so many bonuses in small necessities. The beds were comfortable and the AC was amazing when we needed it. We would stay here again and also recommend to friends and family if they travel to the big island.
Elevator was out of order. It appeared to not have been functioning for some time. Loud maintenance in morning in downstairs condo. Place was fine otherwise.
Convenient, quiet and easy access by car to most attractions
Nice older style condo in a smaller property. The grounds are beautifully kept. Right across Aliâi from the ocean. Several beaches nearby but very busy and parking is limited. Best to walk if youâre able. We enjoyed use of the kitchen for breakfast each day. Skillets are in rough shape and difficult to successfully cook a meal in. It was a lifesaver having a washer and dryer. It was so humid multiple clothing changes in a day were a must.
We enjoyed our stay. Ed was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any question or concerns we had.
Very nice condo. Lots of towels!! Lots of pillows!!! We had no problems but appreciated Ed checking in on us. The kitchen was great. Nice to have a smart tv. Enjoyed the Hawaii decor. Stayed with my husband and our 2 kids - aged 21 and 18. It was big enough for all of us. My kids loved the shower in the master so much that all 4 of us used that shower, but having 2 bathrooms was a huge plus. The fans and air conditioning were great. Loved being able to see the ocean from the lanai and being able to go across the street and really experience the beauty of Hawaii.
The property was exactly as described. We are a family of 4 with a 17 & 20 year old. Our vacation times together are very limited. We were so grateful for opportunity to stay there. My oldest went on a few fishing charters which ended up only catching beautiful boat rides. We also did the manta ray night tour, went to Kona a few times, did a few hikes, went to Maunakea and the National Volcano Park for the sights. We went to several beaches to swim and snorkel. The one right across the street was nice to snorkel in too.
This is my third time visiting Kona. It has really gone downhill with homelessness, litter and drugs. We didn't have any problems, you just need to be aware (like most other places these days). My 17 year old wanted to jog into town after dark to find his dad and brother, but i didnât want him to.
I enjoyed the lanai daily. The pool, garden area is gorgeous and so enjoyable at night.
Ed is a great communicator and graciously allowed us a late check out since we had such a late flight.
We had one small issue. The wheel of the twin bed broke (salt air is hard on metal). I had the perfect size extra sturdy box to keep it off the ground and level. Ed really wanted to get that fixed for us during our stay, but we were ok.
I also appreciated the washer, dryer and how well the kitchen was stocked, especially salt and non-stick spray. The pan didnât work to well for scrambled eggs, so i baked them.
My regret is not staying longer. Mahalo!
We looked at many different properties, but picked this one because of the location and the grounds. There is a beautiful pool and hot tub, several grills for cooking, and friendly people all around.
12x24 porcelain tile throughout the unit, fresh paint and colors. Clean and comfortable, and fully stocked to make your stay enjoyable. Beautiful teak Lanai furniture to enjoy while eating breakfast.
