Kona by the Sea is a smaller 4 story resort located on Alii Drive just south of town. There is a small market about ½ block away for last minute supplies. The room was one of the nicest condos we have ever stayed in. Clean, modern, well equipped and after just a few minutes we felt at home. The views of the ocean were fantastic. We spent ...

Didn't want to leave!

We had a wonderful stay at Kona by the Sea. It was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone especially if you have kids. The location it's great. It's close to all kinds of shops, restaurants, and beaches. The view of the ocean we had was beautiful. The room we were in was very spacious and having a washer and dryer was very handy. We wish we didn't have to leave!
On November 17, 2006, in the late afternoon, my husband and I checked into a Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, resort (NOT Kona by the Sea) that we had booked through American Express Travel. Upon letting ourselves into the unit, we discovered that the “air conditioning” referred to in the property description was a small—old!—window-style unit (not central ...

Best place ever!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/25/06
We spent one glorious week at Kona by the Sea last December. We were so enthused about it that we just made reservations for two full weeks in November. This place is in a lovely location, is clean and the grounds are exceptional. We were with traveling companions last year but this year we are coming by ourselves and going to enjoy just ...
Clean well kept grounds and pool area. Helpful friendly staff. A secure feel with keycard access to buildings and pool areas, but not a resort type 'locked-in' feeling with wrist bands. Clean spacious condo (205) with an open floor plan. All the rooms look like they have a great view of the ocean. Our's faced the ocean, never closed the ...

Wow....What a View!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/13/06
We loved this place. If you are looking for a mid-priced condo on the beach - this is it. It's quiet, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Full kitchen saved us alot on dining out. We enjoyed the beachside gas grills available, and appreciated the free covered parking. Best thing of all is the view. The waves were so close we ...

The kitchen had every thing you could need. The in room washer and dryer were very convenient. The free wireless internet was also a nice feature. The pool area and hot tub were ...

Great Place to Stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/29/05
This is a GREAT Value. The condo is spacious, the views from the porch are fantastic and while you are not in walking distance of anything, you are convenient to everything with a car. The people running the place are very good. We counted 5 full time service guys around the property...and if you had a problem, they responded within 5 minutes. ...

Fantastic!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/22/05
I have stayed at this property three times. I love the layout of the rooms. Full kitchens and large master suites. You can't beat the fact that almost every room has a partial or full ocean view. The swimming pool and surounding area is freshly re-furbished and so relaxing to use. The barbaque grills along side the ocean are both convienient ...
