  Stayed here with 5 people, two up stairs in the loft and the rest down stairs in the two bedrooms. VERY comfortable bed. Little dated furniture and appliances but typical for your average Hawaii vacation. AC worked great. We had family in the same unit next door and ours was A LOT BETTER nicer and the AC worked much better.

  We arrived early to find that I hadn't read the instructions with the key code etc. The property manager was helped us figure it out. The unit was in very good con diction, perfect set up for a sizable family. Because we were early housekeeping wasn't done, but when they finished with a smile it was immaculate. The exterior is very well maintained, like a private paradise. Everything was there for our needs.

  The condo complex is situated in a good location within an easy walk to Kona. There is no beach at this location, but that's pretty normal for the Big Island. It wouldn't be our first choice if we were bringing small children because of the lack of things for children to do at this complex. It's better suited for adults. The grounds are extremely well maintained. The on-premise condo facility manager and his team ensure that the facilities are kept up and they are always available, if needed. This particular condo has a very good ocean view from the lanai.

  a guest from Canby, Oregon does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The view was beautiful and the room was nice. I was a little disappointed that we took a vacation to relax and have a good time and we were told at 930pm that beacause we were sitting on the lanai and laughing we were to loud. I was also disapointed that the pool wasnt open until 9am when most places we have stayed its 7am. to top it all off there were ants all over the kitchen and in the cabinets. When we arrived the master bedroom door was partially open as well as the kitchen window, we also found live cockroaches.

  We've stayed at this complex before, but not this particular condo. The complex is a good location, on the shore and within walking distance of Kona The grounds are beautifull and well maintained. It's generally very quite and laid back. Note; much for kids to do, but perfect for mature adults. This condo pretty much met our overall expectations. The view is very good and the unit is well equiped with most every thing one would need. Some needed repairs were reported to Boundless on arrival and taken care of quickly.

  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.

  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.

  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 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.

  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.

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.

  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.
