Great ocean front location

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. it was clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, the bed was comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean waves at night. There is a new 65" TV in the Living Room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony was watching the waves hitting the lava rocks and reading. There were lots of beach chairs and beach toys which was really nice. This is a second floor unit without an elevator, so that might be a problem for some. The owner is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will be back.

Outstanding Condo and Location

We loved our stay at Kona Makai 1-202. It was one of the most well equipped condos we've stayed in and the views of the ocean from the lanai and the bedroom, and sound of the surf, along with the well-groomed garden were a delight. It has everything you'd want.
