About this property

Ocean-View Condo in the Heart of Kona | Walk to Shops, Beaches & Dining

  • Welcome to Aloha Spirit at Kona Alii, your peaceful retreat in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona. This beautiful 1-bedroom, 2-bath condo offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and location — just steps from the best shops, restaurants, and beaches along Alii Drive.
    Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting space designed for relaxation. The bedroom features a queen bed and private en-suite bathroom, while the living room includes a queen-size Murphy bed with a full mattress (not a sofa bed) for extra guests. Two comfortable couches and a flat-screen TV with Apple TV make this the perfect spot to unwind after a day of island adventures.
    Step out onto your spacious lanai, complete with ocean views, chaise lounges, and a dining area for four. Overlooking vibrant Alii Drive — part of the IRONMAN World Championship run course — it’s an unbeatable perch to watch the action or simply enjoy Kona’s famous sunsets.
    The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for in-home dining, and a washer and dryer in the guest bath make longer stays easy and convenient.
    The Kona Alii building offers secure elevator access, covered parking, and one assigned space for your stay. Step right outside to Island Lava Java for fresh-brewed 100% Kona coffee, or stroll to local beaches and waterfront restaurants — all within minutes.
    Whether you’re here for the IRONMAN, a romantic getaway, or a tropical work-from-paradise stay, Aloha Spirit at Kona Alii is your ideal home base for Big Island adventure.
    We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags.
    Receive peace-of-mind knowing that if something does go wrong, one of our friendly and professional staff members is only a phone call away. With a warm “Aloha”, we at First Island Realty look forward to welcoming you to the most authentic option for a true island living experience.

Great Location and Unit

The location is great, right in downtown Kona with easy access to everything. The included parking off the back of the building was covered and easy to access. The condo was clean and well stocked. We loved being on the lanai and hearing the ocean all night.

Perfect couples stay

This property is everything that it is advertised and more. The apartment is very clean, well furnished and stocked with beach gear, coolers, and even seasonings for cooking. The Murphy bed is extremely comfortable! The location is perfect as well. Ocean view from the lanai, easy walk to so many restaurants and shops.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was secure, clean and comfortable. They had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. The kitchen was stocked with all the stuff you need. It does get warm at night in the bedroom. We found some fans in the hall closet which helped a lot!

Perfection

It was a little tricky to find the property but once we found it and got checked in we were pleasantly surprised with how nice of a location it was! We had the perfect view of sunsets from our lanai every night! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Kona but still feel at home.

Cute + Convenient

Excellent location with easy access to shops and restaurants on Ali’i. Quiet. Nice to have washer and dryer in unit. Great afternoon sun and sunset views on the balcony. Bit challenging to find the parking space at first, but nice to have a covered space. All in all, good value!

We liked the location as it was close to restaurants. The unit was well equipped and had everything we needed including beach stuff. We did not like the lack of AC. Had to keep the windows open to keep cool but this meant quite a bit of noise at night.

This is our second stay at this property. It is everything that you could wish for in a holiday condominium. Easy access to the airport, to shopping and to restaurants. The unit is well equipped and although not air-conditioned, the Hawaii breezes plus ample fans maintain a very pleasant indoor climate. two bathrooms plus a washer-dryer combination and comfortable bed and furnishings make for great liveability. The free Wi-Fi and ample tv programs just supplement the holiday. love it!

4 night stay

Overall enjoyed our stay even though there were some minor inconveniences. Great location. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Great view of sunset from outside the building. Felt really safe. Pool was really big but water was very cold. Boogie boards on premise were not in usable condition. A couple lights (one over Murphy bed and one in bathroom) weren’t working. The washer smelled of mildew but clothes smelled fine after using it. There were many fans but still felt warm with no A/C.

September visit

The property was exactly as described on the internet. It was wonderful to have two bathrooms. The lack of air conditioning, which we never use in Hawaii anyway (because of the ever present breezes), was offset by ample ceiling and floor fans. The kitchen was amply stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking gear. The refrigerator, stove and laundry were more than adequate for us. The ice maker was well used. The television program selection was great, even including the “Willow” cricket channel which many Aussies would love to watch. The lanai provided a view of the sea and the breaking waves could be heard. Generally the unit was very quiet with little traffic noise and none from adjoining units. The pool was huge and the temperature was just right. A variety of restaurants and shopping were within walking or short driving distance. A holiday experience we thoroughly enjoyed. We have already booked a repeat stay.

Kona condo

The things we liked best about this condo in no particular order was: the security. No one gets in without a key. Very secure. Loved the pool. The communication with the host was excellent. They responded to our questions promptly and rectified any issues we had. Proximity to restaurants and shops. The queen bed was comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well stocked with essentials. The balcony was great as it had room for a table and 2 chairs and two lounge chairs. The thing that cost this condo a star was the lack of some basic housecleaning. Unfortunately the floors were very dirty and there was a lot of dust on furniture and mineral deposits on a shower door and dirty cushions. One thing that can't be avoided is the night noise. But that's what you get for staying in town. This condo served our purposes and we had a wonderful vacation.
