  a guest from Saint Helena, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Our visit to Kona Makai was wonderful. The apartment was clean, check in was a breeze and we had a great view of the ocean from our balcony lanai. We were an easy distance from downtown shopping and restaurants in one direction, as well as great snorkeling in the other direction. The pool and hot tub were cleaned daily, and we also enjoyed the pingpong table. Parking was ample, but we had to walk a bit to get to it. Our unit, on the third floor had a great view, but wasn't handicapped accessible. If you have trouble walking, ask for a ground floor apt. near the parking lot.

  a guest from Shawano, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We had a very enjoyable stay in #2301 condo. The view and sunsets from the balcony were fantastic. The owners have thought of everything from a cooler to plenty of beach towels & beach chairs, umbrella & boogie boards. Saw cruise ships & dolphins, but best of all enjoyed the Fourth of July fireworks from the lava deposits on the beach. It has a wonderful central location. Were able to make day trips to Volcano National Park with stops at black sand beach to see the sea turtles and Volcano Winery. And another day to a coffee farm, macadamia nut factory & Hapuna Beach State Park. The grounds are immaculate with a wide variety of flowering bushes and plants. With 2 king beds and a loft with twin beds what a perfect vacation retreat for a family. All the amenities of home with the ocean just outside the door. We look forward to our next visit.

  Mary E from Katy, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Everything was good and clean. They had extra's like Boogie Boards and beach chairs. Plenty of towels. The only negative was the washing machine didn't get enough water out so it took a very, very long time to dry them. But...there was a drying rack and that almost worked better than the dryer for the thicker, heavier items.

  a guest from Cogan Station, Penn recommends this vacation rental

  Everthing satisfactory except a couple of minor details:
  
  Items not provided which would make for more convenience, such as cooking oil, vegetable peeler, a larger cutting board.
  
  Beach towels provided, but guest is required to launder them before leaving. Smalll capacity washer and slow dryer made this an unreasonable requirement.

  Richard S from Amawalk, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, excellent. Our big disappointment was that we were told when booking a month's rental, we would be given first priority for the 2013 rental. Sadly, that was not the case when we arrived and tried to make the next year's reservation. A new reservation clerk apparently made a mistake, but we are the ones that suffered. We have found another rental, but this has left a very bad view of Prince Properties.

  We enjoyed our stay at your spacious condo and look forward to coming back sometime. No problmens, kitchen had any cooking item we could want for making dinner. We enjoyed the lanai for coffee in the morning and listening to the ocean. Very peaceful. Everything was in working order and you will see us back.

  a guest from Berkeley, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was very nice, comfortable, well supplied and well located - just enough out of town to be quiet, but close enough for a nice walk. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our balcony and could watch the dolphins swim by each morning around 8! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We will certainly consider this same complex/condo for our next Hawaiian vacation!

  We spent 11 nights at this property. Prior to going the reviews were mixed. Seems like only those with children were not happy. We were very satisfied as this is pretty much all adults, which is what we like. The residents, property manager,guests and grounds maintenance guy were all very welcoming and friendly. If you are a smoker (which we are not) this property is not for you. No smoking anywhere. The pool could have been warmer but overall we were very satisfied and would return and likely will.

  Overall everything was great and we will most likely be return. Only issues were ants, waking up to a cockroach on me, and due to lack of elevators free ground level storage would make it much more appealing to divers.

• Great location if you have a rental car. Only about 1.5 miles from all the shops and restaurants and close to all other activities such as snorkeling.

  It's a real quiet place. Really no other kids on the property, but we weren't around much during the day. Very convenient and easy to use. Loved having the full kitchen and great eating area to save a few bucks on a couple of meals.

  We've stayed in many vacation homes over the years. This was among the best. The location on the ocean combined spectacular views with accessible recreation large and small. The property was all that was advertised. Minor issues the owner should look into (or is already looking into) include the wireless internet access, which only worked well on the Lanai, and the screen doors and blinds (front entry and lanai), which did not close well.
  Everything else was comfortable. We will stay here again when we return to Kona.

  bad knee - but since there was nothing comparable available, we chose to stay and limit my walking up and down. I do not consider myself disabled, but have a bad knee. It did not dawn on me to ask if there was an elevator - nor did it dawn on the rental agency to mention this. I might suggest there be a mention to future renters. It is a lovely location an my grandchildren and son thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rental office was supportive. We have no complaints - only memories of a delightful stay in Kona. Thank you.

  The condo was very pretty, clean,and quiet, The beds were very comfortable, and we had a great view.
  They do have a lot of rules, and the internet was a bit of a challenge. Definetly a place for adults, not children. Overall, I liked it a lot.

  our only complaint with the unit was that one of the air conditioners was broken and it wasn't fixed until we were 3 days into our vacation - other than that, everyone was helpful and polite and the location was beautiful and very quiet. We would definitely consider another trip here. It is less than 2 miles from downtown for shopping and food as well.
