First the "bad" then the "incredibly good". The unit has "outdated" elements such as white formica counters, no garbage disposal, rusted parts of the dishwasher basket, and 70's style furniture, but the following items totally make up for not having "granite counters" or things the in-crowd must desire: books, binoculars, games, puzzles, 3 boogie boards, 3 beach chairs, mats, umbrellas,...

I was looking for an inexpensive two-bedroom condo, near downtown, on the water, with a view of the water and a decent pool. This condo is exactly what we wanted. The best thing about this condo is the outstanding, unobstructed view of Kailua Bay from the balcony. The two large beds easily accommodated my family of four (kids 8 and... More

I am so in love with Kona and this property. Mind you I'm not old, but not a "spring breaker" either. To be honest, I LOVE the fact that they have rules and regular residents there. The property was extremely well kept AND so quiet! Yes, I like to sleep while on vacation and its comforting to know that someone... More

Excellent. Stayed four weeks and enjoyed every minute including views from lanai of whales and dolphins just off shore. The pool next door is not a problem. Condo and amenities in excellent condition. Kono village and shopping convenient by driving though unless you're into Ironman type running or biking, it's a little too far to walk. I discovered that the... More

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Alii Villas and look forward to our next trip. The property is beautifully maintained and centrally located. Our only complaint would be that the unit we stayed in, #123, was not quite as nice as the pictures would lead you to believe. It's a ground floor unit, dark and very musty smelling. When we... More

Stayed in condo #123 - very nice condo updated and clean had no problem with condo - just had a problem with the residents that lived there - it felt like we were imposing on them - they were not friendly at all - plus rules about everything posted everwhere. The locals residents had a exercise program in the pool... More

This is a nice enough condo but don't be fooled by the pictures on VRBO. You really don't have an ocean view and the condo is located to far back from the ocean to really get any breeze's and when the sun starts to go down it beats right into the condo. There are no drapes so don't expect to... More

We stayed in #233 which is a corner unit right over the ocean. The condo is large with a bedroom with 4 bunk beds and a master bedroom separated with moving walls. The lanai doors open to let the breezes in. It is well apoointed and everything worked including a washer and dryer (great for all those wet beach towels)... More

I had hoped to stay at Hale Kona Kai this trip but they were booked (plus doing some renovations), so Adeline suggested Alii Villas where she manages a couple of condos. I am in #227 and must say it is very nicely done. Two bedrooms with a lanai looking out on the ocean. Furniture is nice, not worn like in... More
