Northridge, CA, United StatesGreat Place!

Perfect location! We had all of our meals on the spacious balcony that had an incredible view. I will stay there again next time I'm in Kailua.

Left on 02/28/2013 for a stay in February 2013
The rusted out racks in the dishwater need replacing.
An office chair broke on our second day and we
used a dining room chair. Drapes need replacing as the hem is out and they do not block out the sun. All of this was con
veyed to Prince Properties.
The view is magnificent! -
Seattle, WA, United StatesKona Ali'i 701
Left on 12/16/2012 for a stay in December 2012
Property in excellent location with fantasic views; can walk to all locations in Kailua. Can pick up music from Lava Java next door during day and early evening, but does not disturb sleep. Vehicles on Ali'i drive no a problem as surf cancels out traffic noise. Should put counter height stools and table on the lanai to see over the railings. Kitchen clean and well equipped.

Kouvola, Finland, FinlandExcellent location and views in Kona
Left on 08/22/2012 for a stay in July 2012
The unit is in very good location, though the traffic maybe noisy sometimes. Well suitable for 4 people, very nice views. The property has large heated pool and a bbq area (which we did not use) We were very satisfied, except one thing. The dishwasher in unit 701 is not in good condition, and needs to be replaced.
We can recommend this unit, and will probably be back in future. -

Kalama, WA, United StatesKona Alii 701
Left on 05/13/2012 for a stay in May 2012
Although we have spent several vacations at the Kona Alii, this is the first time we have stayed on the 7th floor. We normally stay in 606. The facility is 40 years old and is starting to show its age. They are doing their best to maintain it but it appears to be a losing battle. We were satisfied with our accommodations in spite of the fact that there were some electrical problems which were not corrected. We would have liked to have wi-fi access in the room but for $10 we got a temporary library card and wi-fi access at the library which was only a 5 minute walk from the Kona Alii. As the realtors say,"The three most important features of a property are location, location, location". Same is true for the Kona Alii.

Venetia, PA, United StatesGreat Oceanfront Condo.
Left on 04/11/2012 for a stay in April 2012
I could have lived there. We will miss that Oceanfront Lanai the most! The sound of the ocean, the live music outside of Lava Java, the sunset, people watching on the street was perfect. The condo was fully stocked with everything we needed (towels, beach chairs, comfy beds, hair dryer, etc). The kitchen had everything we needed too. We didn't need to go out to eat. We had breakfast and dinner on the lanai. We also made use of the pool side grill a few times. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool after a long day at the beach. The residents and long time renters in the bulding are all so friendly and made us feel so welcome too. You really can't get a better view, location and amentities for your money. We'll be back!

Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaThe Penthouse at the Kona Alii
Left on 04/10/2012 for a stay in March 2012
Our unit was exceptionally well equipped, clean, nicely decoratd with a magnificent view. On week-ends, especially, it tended to be a bit noisy with the sound of motorbikes and alot of partying at the restaurant next door. It didn't both us too much and was only noticeable in the upper bedroom. Everyone we met was friendly and very nice to us, and we enjoyed the March Pot-Luck at poolside. The out-door market is only 1 1/2 blocks away, which is a great feature. We would stay there again on a return visit. The staff at Prince Properties were great to deal with. Thank you.

Left on 02/02/2012 for a stay in January 2012
the location was great for us, we had another couple and only 1 car so when one couple needed the car the other could spend the day walking around town. We had great entertainment each night from the restaurant next door that we enjoyed from the lanai. Best of all what a veiw. Only thing I would like to have had was blackout curtains for the living room, I know who whould shut out that view. All the people living in the building were all very nice and helpful, all and all I hope to enjoy Kona Alii 701 again soon.

Chicago, IL, United StatesAmazing experience!
Left on 01/31/2012 for a stay in January 2012
This condo was amazing. My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. The balcony was 20 feet from the ocean, and it was in the perfect location to walk to restaurants and shops. Two bedrooms can comfortably fit 4 people, but we had just two and it was still a bargain compared to other similar properties. Highly recommended!

Room was closed up and very humid and musty on arrival. but the huge sliders opened it up to that great tropical breeze. The walls had somr stains stove missing a kno, tiles broken in upstairs bathroom and a cabinet broken. Place could use a quality cleaning and some minor handy man work. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had adeqate utensils, appliances.... The location and view were outstanding

Poway, CABest view in Kona!
Left on 11/17/2011 for a stay in November 2011
The only negative with the condo was the music from Alli Dr (till 2 am on the weekends). Had to close all the windows and sliding door and there is no air conditioning. The fans worked well, but missed the sounds of the ocean.

long beach, waNo need to drive
Left on 11/04/2011 for a stay in October 2011
No need to drive when you stay at Kona Alii 701. You are within walking distance of all that the main tourist section of Kailua-Kona has to offer. You will of course need a car when you go sight seeing outside the town. You are right in the midst of the restuarants/bars/shops/public market/etc., so during the daytime its not the quietest place I've ever stayed in/ but it quiets right down at night(and the wonderful sound of the ocean waves just across the street lulls you to sleep at night)This is not the place for honeymooners, but the more seasoned traveler should enjoy it.

I have been staying at Kona Alii for over 20 years. The location is great. You can walk into town and the view.. .WOW!!! I have stayed in this unit before (when it was still a 1 bedroom). They have done a great job of turning the loft into a full second bedroom. I will definitely be back!

Great location and a wonderful view. Could even see the fish on the reef from the balcony. If you are looking for a spot in town for easy acess to all the Kona activities this is the place. Road noise and music from the local bars got a little old after awhile but was not bad.

Grand Haven, MIKona Alii - Unit 701: Jan 2011
Left on 02/01/2011 for a stay in January 2011
Very nice stay right in Kona Town. Location is perfect for enjoying in-town activities. Just know that noise is part of the experience, even though you're seven floors up (traffic, resaurants, live entertainment, etc.).
•Did not appreciate chain smoker in lower unit (unsure whether guest or resident). Could not enjoy sitting on lanai at times.
•The unit is dated and could use some definite refreshing. View out the front is fantastic.
• Had to follow up with management company to get reservation made. Brought up issue related to missing key to the unit which was still unresolved two weeks later when we left. Need work on follow through but very pleasant to deal with.
•All in all, a very good experience and would recommend to anyone wanting an "in town" experience. -

The apartment is very cosy. it is perfect for a nice relaxing, holiday. The location is very good to explore the surroundings: beach, shops, cafes and restaurants and the market. We loved the view from the balcony and enjoyed the atmosphere & the buzz coming off the street.

Bellingham, WAKONA PENTHOUSE
Left on 06/01/2010 for a stay in May 2010
The location in downtown Kailua-Kona is GREAT. Close to dining, shopping and nightlife.Being on the top floor helped minimize the road noise and had great ocean and sunset views. We found the room generally clean but upstairs bathroom had room for improvement. The "Rooftop Lani" was a SUPERB marketing phrase but since it was located behind the room it provided no view, however, the main level Lani was very nice. The pool was clean but didn't open until 9:00am and was located away from ocean view. We had a short bout with a family of cockraoches, which we won and put up with a week of deck refinishing that took your breath away but never affected our living space. All in all this room had +'s and -'s like any other room might have but we enjoyed our stay which makes this a thumbs up experience. Mahalo!

Great location and view. On Alii drive, which is in between you and the water. The condo could use some updates, but overall is pretty nice. Tons of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

Douglas, AK, United StatesBeverly S.'s review of 2 bedroom 2 bath Ocean Front Penthouse at
Left on 11/15/2009 for a stay in November 2009
I stayed at 701 Kona Alii with my husband and another couple. We found the unit very comfortable, clean, and convenient. The location is perfect for exploring Kona, going to the market, enjoying the restaurants, and visiting the shops. The view from the lanai is spectacular! We enjoyed watching the activity on the water and on the street. We loved having breakfast on the lanai every morning and feeling the gentle tropical breezes. We were grateful to find boogie boards and beach towels for our use. The pool is nice, quiet and surrounded by gardens. We were so busy that we only used it once. We noticed that it didn't get a lot of sun. We wished the unit had wifi, but we could go to the yummy restaurant right next door and get internet access, so it wasn't much of an inconvenience. This unit is on the top floor, in the corner so there is a wrap around view. Also, by opening the windows in the loft bedroom the breeze was wonderful for sleeping. This is a great place!

Left on 09/12/2009 for a stay in September 2009
Across the street from the ocean. Can't beat the views! You can watch the dolphins swim by in the morning and you can even see the tropical fish along the rocky/lava shore below. Condo is in downtown Kona which makes it an easy walk to swimming, snorkeling,restaurants, shopping, and the farmers' market ( to name a few). A couple items you may consider before renting this unit: it has a loft for one of the bedrooms and the water views come w/ the negative of being on the road so you can get road noise. However, the constant sound of the waves crashing into the shore acts as white noise and the town of Kona quiets early in the evening. Overall we had a fantastic 2 weeks here. The Kona section of the island is always guaranteed good weather and the pick of restaurants both in and off alii drive are good and reasonable especially when you compare w/ the more expensive kohala region.
