Description Description
You’re so close to making the Hawaiian vacation of your dreams a reality, and at Kolu Honu, all the enchantment of the islands comes to life, beckoning you to a truly magical experience! Located in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona along the renowned Ali’I Drive, this home features a prime location just steps away from the azure waters of the ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see. You’ll have direct access to pristine beaches and a plethora of water activities, ensuring endless opportunities for sun-soaked adventures. Outside of the complex, you’ll have the added convenience of being within walking distance to a variety of options for shopping and dining where you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this vibrant area and join in on the incredible community spirit that breathes Hawaii life. Nearby, explore hiking trails that wind through lush tropical forests or embark on a scenic drive up or down the rugged coastline where dramatic cliffs meet crashing waves. Back at home, take in the majestic views and breathtaking sunsets from your own private lanai, or spend the days lounging around the community pool, turning the pages of a good book.

Indoors, you’ll find delight in the charming furnishings and décor properly representing the theme of the islands in open and airy spaces that promote connection and relaxation. Find relief from the heat on sofa and armchair seating in the living room as you catch up on episodes of your favorite shows on the smart TV. Merge indoor and outdoor living together by opening the large sliding doors to the lanai and allowing the cool ocean breeze flow freely throughout the home. Dine together at the formal table with seating for 4 or snag a high-top stool at the counter for more casual bites or a quick breakfast on your way out the door to adventure. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to whip up delicious meals right from home, with ample counterspace and cabinetry for meal preparation and storage.

This home comfortably sleeps 2 guests in a private bedroom inclusive of a luxurious king size bed fitted with crisp linens and soft blankets for a great night’s sleep. The full ensuite bathroom includes a single vanity and shower/tub combo. A second full guest bathroom in the home includes a single vanity and walk-in shower.

THINGS TO NOTE:
• THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.
• Washer and dryer in home.
• Covered lot parking is available for 1 vehicle.
• Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the property, on the premises, and in any nearby common areas. Violations will result in an automatic $500 fine, plus any additional costs for carpet and upholstery cleaning or other damages caused.

Set amidst a backdrop of lush tropical landscapes, this home will be your retreat for relaxation and rest. But when you’re ready to get out and explore, you’re minutes away from the very attractions that draw visitors to the island. Kealakekua Bay is one of the best snorkeling spots in the entire state of Hawaii due to its spectacular coral reefs. Keauhou Bay has some of the best snorkeling on the planet, with the night dives among Manta Rays being an experience you’ll never forget. Explore Hawaiian history when visiting the nearby petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings dating all the way back to the 16th century.

When in Hawaii, you must of course make the most of the many beaches, hikes, and water activities available. Make sure you also dive into the unique culture of Kona, where coffee shops source beans straight from Kona coffee farms, Big Wave Golden Ale is brewed fresh at the Kona Brewpub, and local farmers markets are teeming with artisan goods and just-harvested produce.

We provide 2 beach chairs and 1 cooler for guest use.

This is my 4th time in Kona, 3rd time at this Airbnb (previously diff owners?) but the stay, amenities/comfort were exactly the same. Walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and beach - designated parking spot + plethora of beach amenities.. washer/dryer in the establishment is a huge plus in so it felt just like home. As the listing states, there is no central a/c but it’s Hawai’i! The provided fans were plenty and if you’re out and about all day, won’t feel any difference - it gets very cool at night especially with the open patio screen doors and windows. This is a prime location for Kona - heck, I’ve been back at the same place thrice so that says something! Highly recommend!

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was clean and comfortable. The view of the beach was spectacular. The complex was very quiet so we were able to relax on the lanai. The condo was also within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The reserved parking space was an extra bonus. The only issue we had was that the name given on the advertisement was Kolu Honu. The actual complex name is Kona Ali'i. Our GPS kept directing us to Kona Ali'i but we kept looking for Kolu Honu. It was dark and rainy, we spent 30-45 minutes driving around trying to find the place. We finally parked the car and went on foot. We found the parking lot and our assigned parking space first. We started going through the dozens of emails from AIRBNB and buried deep in one was the name Kona Ali'i. FYI- the parking is around the back of the complex. Access to the parking lot is off a parallel road. I would suggest putting the name of the condo complex in the title of the advertisement.

Mahalo, Yvonne, for sharing your experience with us! We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the clean, comfortable condo, the spectacular beach views, and the peaceful atmosphere on the lanai. It’s also great to know that the convenient location and reserved parking space added to your stay. We sincerely appreciate you bringing the check-in confusion to our attention. We understand how frustrating it must have been driving around in the dark and rain trying to locate the complex. Thank you for detailing what happened — this is incredibly helpful. We will update the listing title and instructions to clearly include the correct complex name, Kona Ali‘i, and ensure the parking directions are more visible so future guests can arrive without any difficulty. Mahalo again for your thoughtful suggestions. We’re grateful for your feedback and would love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

We loved the apartment, it was well equipped and spacious, the bed was super comfy. You can hear and see the sea from the balcony. It was great having the two bathrooms and the washing machine allowed us to travel with just hand luggage. We could have used some ear plugs tbh as there were bars that closed at 2am so it was quite noisy a couple of nights. The location can't be beat however. It's an easy walk into town and to the pier and we loved having the parking space for the rental car which made exploring the Big Island easy!

Mahalo, Lynda, for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you loved the apartment, found it spacious and well equipped, and enjoyed the super comfortable bed and beautiful ocean views from the balcony. We’re also glad the two bathrooms, washing machine, and parking space helped make your stay even more convenient during your Big Island adventures. We sincerely appreciate you mentioning the noise from nearby bars and late-night activity. We understand how that can impact sleep. While we don’t have control over the noise from the nearby bars and nightlife, we completely understand how this can impact our guests’ experience and will make sure future guests have clear information and resources to help if noise becomes an issue during their stay. Mahalo again for your kind words about the cleanliness, amenities, and communication — we truly appreciate it. We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again.
