Kona Isle A4

This was such a great place. Perfect view of the sunset, relaxing pool area and quiet. Everything was clean inside and out. The place had every essential and more. The management co. was quick to respond to get us adjusted to the place. Ideally located to go downtown and to beaches.

Manager's Response

Perfect location, nice pool, grill. very helpful management team!

First the bad: NOTHING! Now on to the good: Great location on Ali'i drive close to many beaches and shopping but just far enough from the pedestrian traffic. Perfect size for a couple and a well equipped kitchen (no oven though, but that wasn't an issue). Lots of beach equipment! Check-in was a breeze and simple. The first floor was a plus and you have a partial ocean view, but it's a quick 1 min walk to the pool and ocean viewing area with lots of tables and chairs. We have stayed at many condos globally and this one is top 3, especially for the price. Highly recommend and will stay again!

Manager's Response

Our stay was enjoyable. We were disappointed that there was no oven but soon got over that. The stay was comfortable the pool was amazing so close to everything we wanted to do.

Manager's Response

6 nights, terrace with sea view, quiet location.

This was our third visit to Kona Isle and our second stay in unit A4. We had a wonderful time! We love the ocean front location of the resort, watching whales, enjoying the sunsets and bbq's. The pool is also lovely. The resort has many senior owners and visitors which suited us perfectly! For the most part, it's quiet although you will hear occasional traffic noise along Ali'i drive. There was also intermittent construction noise this time from a residential development across the street. A4 is well equipped and met all our needs. The unit is partially renovated with many welcome updates (no carpet!). The tub/shower could use a bit of TLC. It has a view of the ocean across the lawn from the left side of the lanai which we very much enjoyed. Knutson management was helpful as usual, quickly providing a couple of small items that needed replacing in the unit. We look forward to staying again!

Manager's Response

Enjoyed the condo and grounds, georgous. Everything was amazing the property management team worked hard to be accommodating

Manager's Response

Beds are comfortable. Kitchen and washer/dryer are handy. BBQ's by the beach to cook food. Great place!

Manager's Response

Public salt water pool next door. Great little beach area for relaxing. Place was nice with a great view of the ocean. Ac worked but was a little noisy in bedroom. There’s also a corner store next door which is awesome. Some of the appliances smelled a little of mildew and we had to rewash, but that’s also the nature of high humidity weather.

Manager's Response

This condo was perfect! I woke up to the beach and sounds of water every day and enjoyed my personal deck. Unlike a lot of the properties around this one had beach access with non obstructed views. Everything I needed was included, snorkel gear, full kitchen, pool, parking etc. the on-site staff member was welcoming and friendly. I’d definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Excellent location to town and within complex. Only single story bldg on property, one step to door, easy parking. Peek of the ocean from lanai. Little bit dated unit in some areas, but price reflects and unit as described and we were perfectly happy. Kitchen well-equipped with exception of no oven, but air fryer makes up for that. Nice pool and ocean front bbq area. Split air within living and bedroom is nice.

This property was perfect! It is only a 20 minute walk from the main strip of restaurants, shops, and bars; a 30 minute walk from the stunning Magic Sands Beach; and you can see the ocean from the living room! The pool is perfect, and we loved using the barbeques right on the water too. It has everything you need: beach chairs, snorkels, plenty of beach towels, and tons of dishes. And it was one of the most affordable places we could find in Kona! I would highly recommend booking a stay here, I will definitely stay here again if / when I visit Kona again.

Manager's Response

The condo was perfect and the location also. Just near the sea, we can hear the waves, the view is georgous and the place to eat near the sea is great. The pool was great too. There was plenty of things in the condo to take to the beach (chairs, tubas, body board) and also a lot of kitchen accessories (air fryer etc).
We really loved our holiday and can’t wait to come back the only little thing is the air conditioning that is noisy...

Manager's Response

Nice place, had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and beach area and it was great to have the complex be on the water and to have a ground floor unit so that we could walk from the lanai straight to the pool.

Manager's Response

We loved everything about our stay here. Scott, the temporary manager, was such a nice guy and made sure everyone was happy. We will be back!

Manager's Response

My 2 friends and I enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was so nice having beach items in the closest to use at the beach. Price reasonable for a week stay. Nice view of the ocean to look outside from the living room. We did alot of cooking to help save us money. Everything is there for cooking.

Manager's Response

This is the second time I stayed in this unit. The first time was last year with my husband and most recently by myself.

This unit was filled with all the bells and whistles as stated in the description. Everything was provided that was needed for shopping, going to the beach and even beach towels. Lots blankets and pillows.

But most of all I felt safe in unit being that the second stay I was by myself.

Manager's Response

This was our second stay at Kona Isle. Its a lovely quiet resort right on the ocean, with lots of lounge chairs on a sandy area by the rocky shoreline. Its a great place to relax, read and, if your lucky, watch whales and dolphins!There's a nice BBQ area as well which we used often and the sunsets were amazing!We also loved the heated pool. We stayed in unit A4 for 23 nights March 3-26. It is well equipped with beach gear,lots of seating, smaller TV and a comfy pull out sofa. We liked the island decor! The A/C unit in the bedroom was an added bonus! Although A4 is not completely renovated, the owners have done many upgrades including nice vinyl plank flooring in LR and bdrm, newer appliances and comfy queen size newer bed.The kitchen is well equipped (no oven). The cabinetry is functional but all original as is the bathroom tub/shower with glass sliding doors. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean looking across the lawn from the left side of the lanai. We were concerned there may be road noise as the A bldg is adjacent to the parking lot but it was usually not an issue. Knutson was great to work with and quick to respond and take care of a couple of issues we encountered. Overall I would recommend Kona Isle and A4. we look forward to staying here again!

Arrived late at night but checkin was easy peasy. Condo has all the essentials. Washer and dryer on site, lots of beach gear, too. Beach gear included sand castle stuff, beach chairs, beach towels, toys for kids, and snorkelling stuff and umbrellas! Also has AC. Stayed here for one week with my toddler and we had a great time. Excellent green area and area near the shore to watch the waves break. Public Saltwater pool is literally next door, and a perk tho crowded by locals in the evening when the water’s finally warmed but the sun has cooled off. 10/10 would stay here again.

Manager's Response

A very nice condo on the ground floor which makes bringing in your bags and groceries easy. This condo is one of best we have stayed at for having everything needed to head out to the beach: umbrella, chairs, beach bag, coolers and more.
The property management company was easy to contact and was very responsive.
The condo ocean front area is a wonderful place to watch sunsets and meet people. The ocean front area has the BBQs, picnic tables and many chairs. It was a great stay at the Kona Isle.

The sunset over the ocean of Kailua Bay seen from the beach of the condo was beautiful.

Manager's Response

The apartment is even more spacious than it seems, it was great for us two and definitely the most comfortable of our island hopping trip, felt really more like home than a regular rental.
It was clean, had all we needed to cook or make our morning coffee (filters, coffee maker). It was great having a washing and drying machine inside. Loved the Lanai overlooking the lawn the leads to the sea.
Ver good A/C and comfy bed. Quiet. Had very good nights sleep.
Chairs, cooler and umbrella of very good quality as well.
Management was attentive and responsive.
Lastly (but important!), something really practical: no stairs! Very close to the parking lot.

Manager's Response

I echo the comments of past reviewers. The condo was perfect for our vacation and we had a great time.. We had everything we needed in the condo, including beach and picnic items. The lanai, the lovely landscaped grounds, pool , BBQs and ocean shore area were a bonus. The location in Kona was very convenient and made for easy walking and driving. Definitely recommend it.

The condo was very nice, well equipped and had a nice little lanai with a view of the ocean. The community was quiet and friendly. We especially enjoyed sitting in the evening by the shore and watching the waves crash in.

Manager's Response

We've done several vacation rentals, but A4 was the first to have everything we could have asked for... well appointed kitchen, all beach gear, washer/dryer and more. Definitely a place we'd love to come back to. Knutson & Associates were also great to work with.

Manager's Response

Our condo was clean and in good condition. Check in was easy and instructions were very clear. We had everything we needed and more, and the price was reasonable. Very highly recommended!

Manager's Response

Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa for a wonderfully supplied home away from home. Your unit had everything that we needed and then some. The ocean view was pleasant across the grass courtyard with water fountain at the end where we watched the birds daily. Walking past the pool and sitting every evening at sunset on the garden chairs we were able to see the Green Flash 2 times. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and leaving the bedroom patio door open at night felt safe with the fenced in atrium. Loved having a washer and dryer and laundry soap provided so didn't need to pack dirty clothes upon returning home. Thank you for providing the water pitcher with filter, tasted good. We used the French Press everyday with the coffee we brought with us. The TV controls were a bit tricky to learn about but finally figured it out. Your "ASK GOOGLE" devise was wonderful to talk to daily requesting it to play ukulele and Hawaiian music. My favorite chair was your recliner!
We live in Point Loma, San Diego, CA not seattle, wa

It was fabulous. I can't say enough about the staff at Knutson and their hospitality and generosity. They keep you informed and continue to touch basis throughout the trip to ensure you are satisfied and comfortable. The most generous grant from them was when we asked for a few hours extension until our flight left and they gave us "10" uncharged hours to relax. I WILL book with them again. lean, quiet, spacious and well planned by the staff!!!!!

Manager's Response

This Condo is well appointed and close to everything in Kona. Its a 5 minute drive into downtown for shopping and restaurants, close to several great beaches for snorkeling or just hanging out. The grounds are very well kept and have great facilities for hanging out and BBQing or just watching the waves roll in. Sunsets are spectacular and A4 is perfectly situated to enjoy them from the Lanai. The condo itself has everything you'll need for your stay, from beach chairs to pool toys and even some snorkeling gear! We spent 2 weeks here and are looking forward to our next visit already!

Absolutely loved the place! The condo itself was clean and well maintained. Location was walking distance to restaurants and shops, but still enough away from some of the hustle and bustle. Site has a beautiful place down by the water to watch the sunset and have a cocktail. Pool was enjoyable and quiet as well. Maintenance was responsive when requested. Will definitely return again!

We had a lovely stay at Kona isles A4! The condo is clean and nice sized stocked with pretty much all you need while there. Great location near everything. Grounds are very well kept and nice amenities on the grounds as well!

I was traveling alone and this condo worked great. The location was close to many things I enjoy, loved the property and area next to the ocean, felt safe and wasn't noisy. The condo worked perfectly, nice amenities and well stocked kitchen.

The property was extremely well maintained & we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the ocean waves in the evening! The onsite manager was very friendly & helpful! Knutson & Associates are an outstanding company...A BIG Thank you to everyone! We look forward to our next fabulous visit to the Big Island... Mahalo!!

Manager's Response

A very congenial and helpful people both residents and vacationers! Great location! Two things could make it better; either a toaster oven or a standard oven especially for long term rentals. The bathtub is quite high to climb into if senior citizens are contemplating this rental. Other than those things, it's a terrific place to stay while on the Big Island.

Beautiful location. We needed to extend our stay at this location due to volcanic activity and they were able to do this without any problem. The beach is lovely to watch the sunset and the waves.

Our time in Hawaii was great. The location at Kona Isle was perfect. The unit has been kept in great shape. We would come back to this unit next time. A few other comments: We were not able to check in at the normal time as they were doing bathroom repair work. It worked out okay but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Internet was not working and TV set up was also unplugged. Management come over very promptly during work hours to remedy the problems. Handles on some of the pots were lose and should be replaced. We appreciated the supply of TP (2 rolls) but only 1 roll of PT with 80 sheets for a week...just was not enough. You asked for help with laundry but only left 2 packets of soap. The floors in the unit were NOT sandy or dusty but when you wiped them with a wet cloth, they needed some help. All in all, we would recommend this unit to friends.

The pictures don't do justice. Very beautiful and super comfortable. Can't wait to come back and stay again. Mahalo!

Perfect location. Clean apartment. We had a great time.

Apartamento bem localizado muito envolvente com boas vistas para o mar . Muito limpo e bem cuidado , com tudo o necessario para o nosso bem estar.Conrespondeu na realidade ao que alugamos .Fomos muito bem recebidos pela pessoa responsavel.Tem muito perto a baia com golfinhos co os seus corais e os vulces .Boa relao qualidade preo.Recomendo a qualquer que pense viajar ao hawai .Tem variedade de restaurantes na zona.

I rented this for my niece from Massachusetts, with her husband and 2 young children. They ALL loved it!

Manager's Response

I and my husband stayed in A4 unit for 2 weeks at the end of March. It is an older unit, completely furnished; however everything has been in a very good working order and it has been very clean. The unit includes all beach accessories ( beach chairs, beach umbrealla, boggie boards , snorkelling gear etc..). It has a perfect location; close to Ali'i market, not so far from Kailua Kona town with all restaurants and gift Kona Isle there is a small beach with beach chairs where you can hang also offeres a great ocean view; you cannot swim there but you can watch and hear ocean waves crushing against the rocks. I would higly recommend the unit. I can hardly wait to come back. I would stay there again.

I KINDA DONT WANT TO GIVE A REVIEW AS I WANT TO KEEP THIS SECERT HIDEAWAY TO MYSELF. WE HAVE A WORLDMARK TIMESHARE THAT IS DOWN THE STREET. I WILL ALWAYS MAKE MY STAY AT KONA ISLE

Manager's Response

Big Island Kailua Kona is fantastic. Kona Isle condo complex has to be one of the best places to stay-----right on the water constantly crashing waves beautiful sunsets. The grounds/ large picnic/BBQ area/ pool are all maintained at a high standard. Unit A4 was well furnished and supplied and clean---great.

Manager's Response

Kona Isle is a fantastic place to stay. Within mins of downtown Kona and right off the ocean. It was clean and very well kept. They were putting up Christmas lights the day before we left and it was looking very festive. When we come back we will definitely be staying there again!!

Manager's Response

This property is fantastic. I rented it last Nov. from my trip to the Big Island. Its amenities & location are exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable place very close to the beach.

Manager's Response

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Kona Isle #A4. Fully equipped and per location. I definitely will stay again.

Manager's Response

This rental property was just what we needed to have a relaxing vacation. The kitchen was well equipped every possible gadget. It was quiet and the view from the lanai was lovely. We would definitely recommend this unit to others.
The only thing we would have liked to have had was more light in the living room. Another lamp would have made reading much easier.

We visited the palace, the church across the street and walked along Alii.
Restaurants and food: Scandinavian Shave Ice (the best), Big Island Grill, Kona Inn Restaurant, Bubba Gump, Pine Tree Cafe, Habaneros, Rays on the Bay, Kona Pub and Brewery and the Volcano House in Volcano National Park.

My son and I enjoyed staying at the Kona Isle A4 rental very much. The year round folks were friendly, welcoming & helpful; as were the guests.I hope to return next year if possible.

Manager's Response

The unit was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was a plus. The weather on the west side of the island was comfortable and the sunsets from the complex were spectacular.
We ended up driving all the way around the island seeing the sights. Hawa was a nice town with beautiful hiking trails.
Favorite restaurant for breakfast was the Frenchman's cafe

Manager's Response

This is our 5th stay at Kona Isle...love everything about it - the grounds, people, location and this little unit is perfect.

Manager's Response

I wasn't sure if it would be convenient enough when I first booked, but the location turned out to be great especially with the Salt-water pool next door to the condos. We were very pleased with the location and really didn't spend much time indoors, but slept very well, and loved the location very much!

Manager's Response

My wife and I stayed at the Kona Isle during our honeymoon. We found the room clean when we arrived. The complex is right on the ocean front but you can't swim there. There is a pool to make up for it. Our condo came with all the cookware, plates, cups and cutlery we needed. It also had a washer, dryer, stove and microwave. Unfortunately it didn't have an oven. It was a nice place to stay, the only negative was it was a little too far to walk to towm.

Manager's Response

A good place to stay.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed to stay at your vacation rental. Everything what we needed was there! What we also enjoyed was, that there were beachchairs, boogieboards and some more stuff for the beach! It was one of our best vacation rental experience! If it wouldn't be so far away from our home, we would def. come again!

Manager's Response

Everything was perfect in this property, the only complaint i have is that the keys weren't in the lockbox when we arrived, but luckily the manager of the place had the keys and happened to be there and he opened for us, but we dis have to sit by the sidewalk for quite a few minutes waiting for someone that was supposed to show up to bring the keys but never did.

Manager's Response

The condo was represented well in photos and the listing- we were comfortable in the place and had all the items we needed plus more for the beach that was included and not mentioned much to our surprise. Pool and ocean side were a wonderful addition as well

Manager's Response

Vers Nice condo
Clean, full equip, calm, beach chair
You will need car

Nice place to stay need of new bed

The location was convenient as we had a rental car, though we did walk into downtown Kona one day which took about 25 minutes. The only thing missing was an oven but we made do with the stove. The place was very clean. Enjoyed the pool & the lounge chairs by the ocean. An emergency required us to add an extra night which ended up being no problem & we were even given the same rate.

I would love to stay here again!

Kona Isle is a gem on the beach. Our unit a4 had a decent view even with it being the building furthest from the beach. There is a large bush though impeding half the view from the patio.
The condo was very well furnished. The kitchen well supplied with every imaginable utensil. The overall cleanliness was fair. For what we were charged as a cleaning fee I would have expected the floors to have experienced a true mopping not just a quick swiffer job leaving built up dirt along the baseboards. Other than that the fact I pulled out not one but 2 pillow cases out of the closet one had clear evidence of old washed blood and the other was either blood or mold spots. That was pretty tacky. The door lock did not work. In fact we were locked out once because of it. Once the property manager got it open for us, his recommendation was not to use the bottom door lock any longer. Overall we really enjoyed our stay all the minor issues aside I will rent again. I will likely get a unit closer to the beach next time.

The location and layout of the property are spectacular. Only 1 problem: the dishwasher didn't clean the dishes. This has been reported and will be taken care of right away. In general it worked very well for the kids to get some outdoor exercise. And the sunsets were gorgeous!

Manager's Response

The unit was very nicely decorated and comfortable furnishings. Lanai wasn't very private since it was on a walkway and right by the mailboxes. Even though; we would book another stay at this unit.

Had an awesome time. Love the outdoor area with the bbq's

Love the location of complex. Our condo had no vacuum, mop ,bucket.The utensils were old, we had to buy a frying pan as the one provided was a piece of junk. Knutson & Assoc. refunded us. We had a larva of some sort hatch, but we were able to get rid of them, as we had an excellent supply of bug killer. Brian the manager was excellent, the grounds are great. We would stay here again just not in this unit. Knutson & Assoc. were very co operative.

If you are looking for a home away from home Kona Isle A4 is the place to stay. It was very clean and very well equipped with everything to make our vacation complete. The view was awesome as was the service from Brian (property manager) who assisted us in booking our flight back home and to the management company who let us extend our stay due to our flight being at midnight. We will be back. Thank you to all involved.

What a great location for a vacation! On the beach, great, super-clean pool, lovely well-maintained grounds, and on-site manager was alway available for any questions. This was a very nice condo with updated furniture, full furnished kitchen and comfy king bed. We'd definitely stay there again and brought home brochures to put up on our retirement community's bulletin board.

great location beautiful grounds

.

This condo is appropriate for couples or singles looking for a place in a good/safe location with quick access to everything.. shopping areas, the kailua pier etc..

The condo was clean and furniture was in good condition.

The only "nice to have" would be a stove, but we managed without it. Not a big deal.

The man-made picnic/ grill area was always clean and very nice to watch sunsets or hang out.

From A4 there is an obstructed ocean view, but walking to the above area only takes 1 minute.

The condo complex environment was clean and well maintained. The complex manager was always cleaning the pool and grill area to make sure it was nice.

There is virtually no noise disturbances which is great after a long day on the island.

The air conditioner in the bed room is a somewhat noisy, but you get use to it. It did not keep us up at night.

We feel that the price to value ratio was acceptable and somewhat in our favor.

The grounds were absolutely beautiful. The condo was comfortable and had all of the necessities.There was a Farmers Market down the street for fresh fruit and souvenirs and a little convenience store next door that sold a few groceries with a little deli.

Nice little condo, not a luxury one but at a good location. 2-4 people can easily sleep there. The air conditioning is kind an old school and very loud! The coffee maker was broken. Bathroom and the sleeping sofa wasn't 100 percent clean. The staff is very nice and helpful. It's a downstairs condo, no need to climb upstairs. If you can get a good deal, it is worth to go with it!
