Aloha! Perfect location seaside in the heart of historic Kona Town on the Island of Hawaii (the Big Island). Walk everywhere! Just steps to the beach, Kona Pier, restaurants, pubs, market. Lovely, clean upgraded studio. Teak furniture. Olde Hawaii plantation architecture, lush tropical gardens and tiki torches create a romantic ambiance straight out of a classic Hawaiian novel

REALLY A GOOD Choice!

"Me and my husband found this place with Tripadvisor, so thank you. The apartment is really nice, new, well designed, with a nice lanai on the pool. The place is very quiet so you'll have wonderful night of sleeping (but jet lag...). In the apartment you'll find everything you need to make you're vacation a great one. They give you beach supplies, etc. and more. It's really in the center of Kona, so you don't have to drive to have breakfast or dinner, everything is really, really close, just a five minute walk or even less! If I've ever come back to BI I'll check for the availability of this place first!"

SES's home is cozy and clean little apt in the heart of Kona. We had a nice time there. The neighborhood was quiet, we got plenty of rest. Thank You for sharing your home with us.

June 2017

Lovely condo to stay in! Well furnished and equipped with everything you need also central to everything you need if you don't have a car.

June 2017

Not the best value for the price. A rather old unit with bare bones amenities. There are multiple signs in the apartment that warn of extra fees if rules are broken - which seemed unwelcoming and off putting. The location is great and the owners were very responsive. Check in/out was a breeze.

Response from Sharon, Ernie, Sandra:

This guest extended her original one night stay just before her scheduled departure from our 35 plus, year-old condo. Both our condo and our Olde Hawaii plantation-style architecture complex were renovated last year. Any HOA information we post is solely intended for our guests' benefit. Our many amenities as listed in our web page are greatly appreciated and remarked upon by all our other guests. Thank you for choosing our condo for your stay.

June 2017

Absolutely wonderful experience. Close to the boardwalk, near to beaches and other stores, all in all the best value of the places we stayed.

May 2017

Great location to Alii drive. We were able to walk to restaurants and night life. We really only used the condo to sleep and shower in so didn't get a chance to use the pool or see much of the property but all appeared well taken care of. Would definitely come back again.

May 2017

Very pleasantly surprised by this unit. Have stayed in this complex before and was not impressed however this unit has been nicely remodeled location is great and it was well appointed. You will not be disappointed and it is a great value thank you, and we apologize for not observing the property wide non-smoking policy. Aloha.

May 2017

It's small but cute. Great location if you want to see Kona. The grounds are beautiful

Response from Sharon, Ernie, Sandra:

Although we didn't get to meet you in person, after staying at the studio condo you mentioned that the "Place was great." Thanks for your compliment. We are very glad that our studio condo worked for your group.

After having purchased our Acapulco beach condo in 2006, we purchased our cozy romantic Hawaii condo in 2010. Sharon and I stayed at the Kona Islander Inn Private Condominiums over 20 years ago when we were researching Hawaiian locations, myths, legends and rich cultural history for our first novel. Needless to say we fell in love with the Olde Hawaii plantation architectural theme, the lush tropical grounds of almost 50 species of plants and. of course, our prime location. Some Europeans guests have called our Hawaii studio condo spacious, some North American guests have called it small but we call it just right for us and that`s all that matters as it is our home by choice. We live in our Hawaii home for several months every year. We and our daughter Sandra and her family have been gradually upgrading our unit whenever here. It is to the point where we are almost completed although we realize that upgrades and maintenance are ongoing by nature. We divide our time between our beach homes in Kona, Hawaii, as well as Acapulco, Mexico and our main residences in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. May the Hawaiian aloha spirit accompany you wherever your travels take you.
