Nearby Activities in Kailua Kona

Kailua-Kona, the Heart of Hawaii is on the west side of the Big Island. Sometimes referred to just as "Kona", this historic fishing village has transformed into a tourist hot spot. In fact, the west coast of the Big Island is referred to as the "Kona Side", and it is known for its white sand beaches, lush golf courses, and historic parks. If you are looking for your ideal Hawaiian getaway, set your sights on a Kailua-Kona beach house rental and spend a few days enjoying Hawaii the way it is meant to be seen.

Things To Do in Kailua Kona

A Perfect Day at the Beach When you step out of your Kailua Kona beach house and head for the sand, you will be on your way to the perfect beach experience, no matter what time of year you visit Kona. This is because the normal temperature fluctuation for the island is only seven degrees between the hottest and coldest days of the year (from 74 degrees Fahrenheit in February to 81 degrees in August). And because Kailua-Kona is on the leeward side of the Hualalai Volcano, this region is.. read more

"Great Vacation!
This unit was a perfect fit for my family's needs. It was clean and well maintained. It came fully stocked with extra towels, bedding and dishes. The ceiling fans were a big plus so that we didn't need to use the A/C. There was a nice garden and ocean view from the lanai with beautiful sunsets. We walked into town several times to browse and shop. We would definitely stay here again."

"Excellent stay
L appartement est tout à fait conforme à la description. Il est propre, très bien agencé et très bien équipé. Lave linge et sèche linge dans l'appartmenet, siège de plage, glacière, tout était a disposition. Le lit était très confortable. La terrasse permet de prendre son petit déjeuner avec une vue mer. La communication avec l'agence était facile. L'emplacement est idéal pour la visite de l'ile. "

"Amazing Ocean View & Beautiful Sunsets
We absolutely love Kona Makai. This was a last-minute trip, and we usually try to book ocean front but found this little gem available. You could totally see the water and the amazing sunsets from the lanai. A little 30 second walk to the ocean front if you preferred to see it from there. The room was INCREDIBLE, and the property is immaculate. The remodel was stellar - honestly this was one of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in across all our trips to Hawaii. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would definitely recommend this room to friends and family if looking for a room that is less pricey than a true oceanfront. Also need to give 5 plus stars to Knutson and Team - we have booked with them multiple times and the service and check in is top notch! They really want your stay to be perfect! Mahalo for being part of an amazing week for us! "

In all very satisfactory.

Clean, comfortable, & convenient."

"Living in a paradise
Very clean, neat, every detail is being thought through. Would definitely stay there again"

"Beautiful Condo and location
It was great staying here. The area is quiet, clean and close to the shore.
The condo was large for our family of 3, and we had all the needed tools, more than enough actually.
Loved enjoying the breakfast on the large balcony, BBQing at the shore, using the very clean pool.
I can only recommend this place, if you’re looking for somewhere to stay with quiet, close to nice sandy beaches, close to the center of Kailua, and so well equipped."

"Beautiful Apartment
We stayed at Kona Makai for a recent Big Island family vacation. The apartment was bright and airy, well stocked with essentials. The property grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Property management company was very communicative and helpful, and minor maintenance issues quickly handled. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Many short visits and Hawaii is still the best.
Information to be included with reservation and not by text!!! Posted within complex:
" Information regarding departure guest clean-up."
Now we are expected to do almost all cleaning. Wipe down glass tables etc. fridge stove etc. Remove all garbage and bottles. No definition for what is "Too Much " for housekeeper.
Insulting to consumers who pay inflated cleaning fees.
AS A CONSUMER- I expect furniture to be sanitized, free of debris, stains on cloth furniture and cushion covers, rugs cleaned of stains, shower curtain washed and no food behind stove, dryer vent cleaned and wall stains from insects removed. M & G of Thorsby "

"Kona Makai 2nd time around
Nicely remodeled unit.






















Very nice remodeled unt.From the living room, bathroom and the bedroom, top notch. We thought it was quite spacious.. Have only one suggestion. We believe a table lamp on the east end of the couch would be a plus. We brought the lamp from the veranda in. Worked well for tv time. That is it. Thanks.

"Paradise Disrupted
Everything was quite satisfactory until I woke to concrete demolition on an adjacent deck which later in the week was on our deck. The racket broke to peace and quiet of sitting on our lanai. We had no warning and no offer of adjustments. Otherwise quite nice."

"We really liked it!
Great"

"Two weeks Kona vacation
Our experience started on the wrong footing when we first step into the condo. I had to make calls to the manager immediately requesting assistance. The manager was great in responding to our calls. All the issues were remedied by the next day. The unit was very nice with great view of the ocean from the lanai. We ate most of our meals there. The kitchen was a bit tight. Otherwise the rest of the unit was quite comfortable. AC units worked great. Didn't have to run it very long to cool down the entire unit. The water pressure in the shower was good. We enjoyed the condo and the grounds were well kept. Very pleasant stay."

"Simply amazing!
We simply had an amazing stay. The condo itself has got so much to offer. It’s vast, clean, filled with amenities and the balcony overlooking the courtyard is a real gem. We could ramble on and on but instead will simply say that we would not hesitate a second to go back. If you choose this unit, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again."

"A dream comes true
We had a comfortable stay in this lovely flat and did not miss anything.
We went home completely relaxed and blessed.
Sunset at the barbecue was awesome."

"recreativevacation rental
We loved this vacation rental, because it was very quiet situated, had a wonderful garden, was large and well equipped. The management was helpful. But the booking could be done easier, as we experienced in other similar condos: less mails (we got all twice from Knudson and ), some several times, a signment of a rental agreement we had in no other case and this was stressful for us, the download of an extra app we think is not necessary, a mail with the entrance codes one or two days before would be satisfying.

Clean, nice, everything was there. Great view"

"Condo was incredible
The condo was fantastic from the moment I walked in to the property which is gorgeous and immaculately maintained. The condo was very clean and it had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this condo. "

"Lovely Grounds!
We stayed 10 days in this condo. The condo itself is a bit dated, but clean and offers everything you need for your stay in Kona. Beach items were provided which is a must for your adventures to nearby beaches and snorkel locations. The property managers were awesome to deal with and responded quickly to any inquiries we had. The grounds of this complex are very nice and very quiet. "

"17 days at Kona Makai
Generally very pleasant. Good location and property. Well laid out. Two minor things for the mgmt company vs Airbnb or experiences; too few consumables for longer stays (tp, paper towel, trash bags, etc) as these are not available in the small quantities needed, and paperwork is way over the top in your rental process. "

"Very nice.
Clean, comfortable condo. The Kona Makai complex is beautiful. Watching sunsets from the pool area was a joy."
Nov 12, 2022 - Rich H., Dalton Gardens, ID



"Beautiful Property, Clean and Quiet
This was our first trip to Hawaii and our stay at Kona Makai started out with a couple of problems but ended perfectly. When we first arrived we could not get the lockbox open, but after calling , we had the problem solved within the hour. The other issue was guests in the unit below who were constantly smoking and filled our unit with smoke. This was also quickly resolved with help from Don, the property manager. Other than that, unit 3203 was perfect; clean, well-stocked with kitchen items, beach gear, towels, linens and had a beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai. We especially loved the gorgeous sunset views each evening while we were grilling our dinner out by the beautiful pool!"
May 11, 2022 - Karen C., Boulder City, NV



"Great place to stay!!
It was an amazing location very close to several beaches, outdoor shopping markets, and tons of restaurants! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking in! The washer and dryer are small but perfect when all you need to wash is your beach stuff! "
Apr 07, 2022 - Angela Lorraine P., Seattle, NA



"Kona Makai Stay
First time staying at this place, we liked the location, grounds are beautiful and the view from unit was as promised. We would not book again in this unit, the old carpet bothered my asthma...,or at least that’s what I think it was. Bathroom Reno is nice but overall we felt the unit was old & tired. It was surface clean, but it obviously needs a good cleaning behind stuff. A little short on supplies for a 10 day stay. "

"perfect little condo
We booked this condo after days of searching. We didn't a large condo but still wanted all the options of a ocean view patio and washer dryer. This has everything we're looking for. "

"sweet spot
couldn't have been better, the landscaape vegetation was gorgeous and the property immaculate"
Jan 14, 2022 - , Paonia, Co., CO



"Overall nice place!
The property itself was 5 stars! Loved it. It was well maintained, the location was great, and there was plenty of parking. It was fun to hike around the lava rocks on the ocean and to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets, then jump in the Jacuzzi and relax. The unit was also nice. Clean and well stocked with towels, etc. The two downfalls are with the bedding and the A.C. The A.C was in the form of 2 wall units, which were quite loud. They worked fine but had to run pretty constantly while we were in the unit, including at night. We got used to the noise, but would have preferred a quieter unit. The pillows were as cheap as they come, and the bed actually smelled stale and old. The smell was subtle and we got used to it, but could not get used to the pillows. The bed itself was comfortable. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but I would want to bring my own pillows to spare the neck pain."
Dec 08, 2021 - , Sammamish, WA



"Clean, homey and near the ocean
This condo was clean and nicely furnished. The general property is beautiful, with a wonderful seating, bbq, dining, pool area right on the ocean It is not near a beach, but we enjoyed walking on the lava rocks, exploring the tidepools, watching the sunsets and snorkeling just steps away. Of course, watch the ocean conditions. On days when the ocean is not rough, this is some of the best snorkeling on the island."

Very clean, great location, beautiful property and a very well equipped unit. We would rent this unit again for further trips!"

"Great condo and location
I was very pleased with my first stay at Kona Makai 3-203. Everything was as described and the instructions for arrival were perfectly described, I had no issues. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, the lovely garden view from the deck and the lounge chairs by the ocean. The property is well maintained, good location, gated entry, no complaints. I couldn't see or hear traffic from this unit. I would stay here again for sure."
Nov 22, 2020 - Pamela L., Vancouver, WA



"Property at Kona Makai 3-203
I loved every minute of our stay at this condo. It is a perfect size for two people. I loved all the homey touches, including the padded chairs, lounge, rocker and especially the stressfree recliner and ottoman. This is a place for relaxing! We ate almost all our meals on the lanai so we could hear and watch the birds and the waves. I am a plant lover and the grounds around this condo are incredibly lush-like a mini botanical garden. And I loved sitting in front of the ocean each evening to watch the sunset. A very enjoyable experience and I would return in a heartbeat if I have the chance."

"K Makai 3-203 4/19
This property was clean and well maintained. We stayed for 8 days. The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared many of our meals in the unit. The pool and ocean are within a short walk. We enjoyed our stay wit’s it’s the only exception being the check in process did not go as described by the rental agency. One access key was available in the lockbox as described but personal keys for daily use were not available inside the unit. It took 3 days to resolve this. The response from the rental agency was polite but slow. We finally had keys made ourselves by a local locksmith which wasted vacation time."
Apr 06, 2019 - James S., Springfield, OR



"Comfortable unit in great location
Perfect location in Kona Makai in that the lanai off the living room was in the shade all day which allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted on 80+ degree days. King bed comfortable, kitchen with every appliance (big and small) that one could want although we used very few electing to go out for dinners and eat breakfast and lunch in the unit. Grounds well maintained and landscaping beautiful. Cell phone calls not allowed on lanais so sitting outside was very quiet and peaceful. Only inconvenience was having only one key to the unit which I addressed with the property management company. A key is required to get in and out of the pool area so a second key should be made available. Didn't use the small fitness rooms (there are two). Plenty of parking on site and wagons available for taking groceries, etc. from your car to the stairway below the unit, as most units do not have vehicle access to the units. Liked being on the second floor with some ocean view. If we are unable to secure the unit we normally stay in when we visit the Big Island, we would definitely check on the availability of this unit. Pleasant stay. Excellent advance communication from Property Management.company Thank you."

"Great Vacation
We had a great vacation, and our our vacation rental was just perfect. I would recommend this for anyone."
Dec 03, 2018 - Julie H., Wenatchee, WA



"Great Holiday at Kona Makai
We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was exactly what we expected from the reviews when we arrived. Condo was basic but appropriate for the price point. Amenities were nice including the pool, hot tub and bbqs. Lanai was lovely to eat on every evening. Small updates could be considered including new pillows, missing sheets for the pull out couch, and for a week stay could provide additional toilet paper and garbage bags as you run out in a few days. Location to town was good, however it is dark to walk at nights after sunset. We enjoyed the boogie boards in the closet but a nice addition would be tennis rackets to use the courts onsite. We would definitely stay at this condo again. Thanks!"

"Knutson
Our Condo location and amenities were perfect. The amount of emails and correspondence with HomeAway, Knudson and the property were exhaustive.
I booked with another coming Amy and got three emails compared to about 15-20 with this property plus another 5 or soto resolve a rebook because of them overbooking."

"10 days in lovely location
we stayed 10 nights at Kona Makai 2 302. The condo was well furnished & comfortable. We had adequate kitchen utensils as well as washer & dryer. Our surroundings were very lovely & the grounds & pool area were well cared for. Our dissapointments were that the key lock did not work & we were locked out day 1. Had to have a locksmith come in. Also there was a fly infestation that lasted over 4 days, with what smelled like something dead on the back lanai. Toilet paper & waste basket liners need to be increased based on the length of stay. We only had 2 of each for 10 days. Otherwise wise it was very nice for the price point. Great location central to all the Kona activities."

Everything was good... kids had a great time at the pool spent most of our stay at that area also the bbq grill is right there with the perfect ocean view/ ocean breeze...

"Good Property/Poor Property Management
The Good:
1. Property location - on the ocean and walking distance to town
2. Clean & spacious
3. Nicely landscaped & maintained
The bad:
1. Unresponsive property management - light burned out not replaced for 48 hours. Left item of value. Emailed x 3 with offer to pay for postage. No response.
2. Bring extra toilet paper - you are only allowed 1 roll!"

The condo was in excellent condition with a beautiful ocean view from the lanai. "
Mar 30, 2018 - , Halethorpe, MD



"Beautiful location but showing its age
Beautiful landscaped grounds and pool area at this condo complex but the unit is showing it’s age and we had a few problems. We were provided with an incorrect wifi password which made communication difficult since we are from out-of country so had roaming turned off our phones. That was corrected, but we then had problem when electrical outlet shorted out so TV and wifi weren’t working. There was also a problem with dishwasher and we found the air conditioners noisy so sleep was difficult plus the sliding doors to lanai were on rusty tracks so difficult to open. All of these items could have been overlooked if we hadn’t been charged the inflated rates for Ironman week, but at those rates we expected better."

"Kona Makai unit 3-203
Great partial ocean view condo in Kona Makai complex. Well furnished, clean and spacious condo. Price was good for time of year (Jan 2018). We would consider returning to this complex and unit."

"Good condo. Great location
Very good location. The room was very clean. All necessary things were in the condo. Additional, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, all basic needs for a great beach time was there.

Ocean front property, so just a small walk from the apartment to the ocean and you can watch yellow tangs"

"Great buy for the buck...
The conco was as shown. It's small, but sufficient, clean, and well maintained. WE picked this condo because of the price and location. We figured we weren't going to be there all that often.
Pleasantly surprised. The grounds were fabulous...(Always workers around caring for the property). I actually think the pictures could be better. The barbeque area is right next to the water, and we spent a lot of time around the area meeting other couples and enjoying the sound of the surf...
The condo is very well stocked with anything you need to cook. It was clean and well supplied with toiletries. It was perfect.
Our only constructive criticism is finding the location of the conddo. Late at night, the property location was easy. But building 3 is not. The layout can be confusing. An owner came in and helped orient us. Friendly people...
We will go there again. We have more diving and exploring to do... Thanks to the owners "
Nov 10, 2017 - Deborah A., Worley, ID



"Great location and view.
This Rental is well equipped,everything is just like the pictures show. Also there are Tommy Bahama beach chairs and a very good quality boogie board.
Great location short drive to restaurants and shopping. Short drive to Magic sands beach and Kahalu‘u Bay. Magic Sands is great for swimming and boogie boarding, Kahalu‘u Bay is a great snorkeling spot especially for beginners.
We also snorkeled right there at the condo, its a little tricky getting in and out of the water there, but there were tons of fish and we saw a couple turtles, we were there in late june and water was calm, don't try it if there are big waves.
Grounds around the complex are clean and well maintained, parking was easy and they had wagons for you to put your luggage in to get it the stairs leading to the condo.
I enjoyed going out in the mornings and running down the coast along Alli drive,you can run south for several miles, if you like running.
Room temperature was fine for us a/c was adequate.
We would stay here again !"

Really hard to find building at midnight in the dark. Very little lighting and the numbers on the door needs to be larger (not a quarter of an inch high)"

Nice condo. Clean,but smelled a bit musty in kitchen. Beautiful grounds, pool, BBQs and lava ocean front for great sunsets. Good location - could walk into Kona (about 15-20 mn walk). Condo had coolers, beach chairs and beach umbrella, as well as washer and dryer. Very handy. "

"Excellent stay!
Our visit to Kona was excellent and part of this visit is due to the experience we had at this unit. The unit had everything we needed for our stay, the people we met at the facility was very friendly and kind. The location is quiet and relaxing."

"Spacious lanai
We really enjoyed unit 3-203. The size was larger than other vacation rentals in our past, with a very spacious lanai - rather than a narrow balcony. The grounds are spotless and the birds were plenty. Loved their songs."
May 26, 2016 - Patricia V., Portland, OR



"Fantastic stay!
The location was perfect. We could snorkel right off the front of the complex and were able to walk into town. The only downfall was the internet was not very strong and you needed to be on the lanai to use it. "

"GORGEOUS
I fell in love with 3-203! Kona Makai is an amazing complex, and I felt right at home here. Beautifully appointed, clean, just what I needed!!! "

"Relaxed in Paradise!
This condo was absolutely perfect for our vacation needs. Not only was booking through Knutson easy and efficient, but they really helped make sure we were in a condo that fit our budget and worked with us to do so. Right when we walked in we felt at home in this condo. It was very clean, and the view from the lanai was gorgeous. The grounds are very well maintained. We had no issues with any appliances or fixtures and everything worked well and went smoothly. Because Kona (The big island in general) does not have a ton of sandy resort style beaches available for laying out/beach activities, we wanted to make sure we stayed in a prime location that was close to other activities. It was a 2 hr drive to amazing hiking and a little over 3 hours to the volcano. The best part about the location though was the small town vibe of the surrounding area; close to the Kona Brewery, shopping (a Sunday street fair) and great restaurants! We did find a beach down the road, magic sands beach, but it was very small and overcrowded and we stayed less than half an hour.
We already want to go back to Kona Makai! If you are looking for a cozy and comfortable home base for you to come back to once you are finished with a day of exploring, or a nice relaxing place to layout by the pool or in front of the ocean (breath taking rocky shoreline), then book this condo! "

"staying at the kona makai
well first off the condo looked nice but after being there for a day we found that both air conditioners were broken, the shower flooded, the water alarm went off (didn't even know what that was) took awhile to figure how to turn it off, the dvd player did not work and we were GIVEN A WARNING for using our cell phones on the lani didn't know the rules, none were put in the condo and the rules were on a wall on one of the buildings didn't see them until leaving"

Overall good property.spacious condo with great views.Condo interior was as advertised, bit dated but is good shape.Plenty of towels and some beach stuff.
We did find some tropical insects ( bigger than 1/2 in) in the unit.

"Kona condo review
It was easy to get this done online and we generally liked the place. I have 3 concerns:1. less than half a roll of toilet paper with no back up in the conco. 2. Stained and worn towels that need to be replaced. 3. Need better path lighting at night. Very dark and they water at night so the path is wet. just add some more closer spaced lights and all will be fine. We enjoyed the location and the kitchen was well supplied.
Thanks,"

"Kona Makai 3-203
My husband and I recently stayed at 3-203 in the Kona Makai and had a spectacular vacation. The grounds are immaculately kept, the location is superb and it's a very peaceful & tranquil environment. No loud neighbors, lights out earlier so you can get a great sleep. The room has everything you need to feel at home. We loved our stay and would definitely come back. "

"MAHALO KONA MAKAI
Kona Makai is definitely a great value. We were able to walk to town in the morning enjoy the beautifully landscaped Kona Makai Property in the day and enjoy a beautiful sunset with the ocean waves crashing right in front of us while barbecuing our fresh Kona caught fish. We will return!"

"Great Stay!
My husband and I had stayed at Kona Makai 3-203 in June 2012 for a week. There is conveniently located on Alii Drive, but very quiet. We've never heard any traffic.

The room has two lanais. The main lanai was overlooking the ocean and a beautiful garden with tropical landscaping. Having meals at lanai was very relaxing. We listened to the birds singing every morning.
The building is dated, but kept clean well arranged and have good amenities including an electric griddle, rice cooker and a ton of towels.
The pool and jacuzzi seemed newly remodeled which was very nice.

Overall, it was a great stay for the price. we definitely to love to stay Kona Makai again. "

"The best rental appartment we had ever
We stayed at Kona Makai one week and we found all what we need. The place is great. We could enjoy a beautiful pool and fantastic sunset view.
There were no any sounds besides birds' songs and murmur of the surf.
All condo area looks as a tropical botanical garden. "

"Well de orated and clean
This unit was nicely decorated with comfortable seating. The two decks were useful. Lots of supplies, cards, puzzles, books, snorkel gear and the like we're provided. "

"Great value!
Took a little while to get wi-fi key and cleanliness wasn't perfect (although I have VERY high standards). Overall, we thought this was very good value for money and we would recommend to others. "

"kona makai
Kona Makai is a nice, quiet complex... nothing exceptional, but in a good location on the water, not far from town, not far from the beaches. The unit itself was clean and comfortable, and the people at Knutson were friendly and helpful. All in all, a good experience."
