“Execellent and affordable place to stay in Kona.” We have stayed here five times in past seven years. It is definitely our favorite place to stay in Kona. We have visited every Hawaiian island except Lanai. The Big Island is our favorite and the Kona Makai is a wonderful, beautiful, quite and relaxing place to stay. Grills are located on the ocean front. Excellent sunsets with the occasional "green flash." Walk to town, restaurants, church, numerous beaches and stores. We highly recommend it to family and friends.

“Vista Wikolia” Great pool for lap swimming. Condo was renovated which made a big difference

“Kihei Stay” I would consider coming back. Very affordable pricing. The unit has been upgraded (except for the TV). We did spot one cockroach, but those are native to the island. Location isn't uber busy, which I recommend for a mellow/relaxing vacation. I would definitely consider coming back.

“Trip to Paradise” The condo was amazing, no expense was spared. Great beds, furniture, cookware, everything. We watched surfers from the lanai nearly every day, and the sunsets were the most spectacular we've ever seen. A car is needed for this location - honestly like all locations on the island, a car is absolutely needed to be able to fully experience and appreciate the big island. We absolutely would love to stay again. Kyle was an amazing host, and the big island was like no place we've ever seen in our lives. Truly a paradise on earth!

“Great Stay in Kihei” The property was excellent and well furnished. The provided accessories really made it worthwhile and could not have been better. The only thing we would have liked to see would have been a curtain or light blocking covering in the bedroom window to stop the early morning sunlight...not a negative for early risers, but for us sleep inners, a nice to have. Otherwise this is the best furnished and set up property we have rented...especially for the excellent price. We would definitely recommend this place to others and will use it again the next time we return to Maui..Mahalo and Aloha

“Great Condo, Beautiful grounds.” This condo is kept in great conditions from the room itself to the grounds & pool. It was very easy to feel comfortable here. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed and then some. We utilized the pool area a lot, and the lawn chairs on the beach. I was concerned about not having a laundry right in the room but the shared laundry is very close to the room it wasn't a problem at all. If it was just my husband and I this would have been a 5 star in our books. My only "complaint" (if you can even call it that) was that we rented a pack n play for our daughter for the week and when we arrived to the condo at 10pm we tried setting it up but it kept collapsing. It was extremely old/warn out so we had to go to Kmart the next day and purchase a new one which was a bit of a blow. Also the floors of the condo are very creaky so it was hard to keep quiet walking around while the baby was sleeping. aside from the creaky floors and pack n play (which isn't worth getting bent out of shape about) this place was worth every penny spent and we were very impressed, we highly recommend, especially for a couple! PS to the owner: We ended up staying at one of your rental homes in Aliomanu Bay for our second half of our vacation and left the new pack n play there. Maybe it can be put in this condo for future guests!?

“great location and views” awesome location, views, and accommodations. book early because from that calendar on the owners link it fills up fast. just an fyi when you arrive there is underground parking that i have noticed people don't realize. as in any vrbo please leave some pass it forward things. i left some spices, boggie board and a large fan. aloha.

“Exceeded expectations by a mile!” From the moment we arrived we were amazed at the way the condos we rented (we had #48 as well) were decorated, furnished and stocked with anything we could possibly have wanted for our holiday. Even items for the beach were there. I can't think of a bad thing to say. Would love to go back.

“Wonderful accommodations” We stayed at Jean's condo for 2 weeks in Feb/March 2014. The condo was outstanding on the quiet end of Kihei Rd. This is a very nice condo with an island color scheme. The furnishings were comfortable both inside and on the lanai. There is air conditioning but you can get a nice breeze moving if you use the ceiling fans and keep the windows open. Everything was there for our use. The only thing you need to bring is a change of clothes, perishable groceries and a toothbrush. The cupboards were well stocked with almost everything imaginable including aloe vera for my husbands nasty sunburn. Having a washer and dryer in the unit is a great advantage. The laundry detergent & fabric softener were provided. The kitchen has all kinds of stuff you might need including a mix master, food processor etc. We have made several trips to Maui and have never stayed somewhere that was so well stocked. The condo was very well cleaned without a speck of dust anywhere. The floors shined. The gardeners are meticulous. Not a single blade of grass was out of place. The area around the pool has several bbq's and an outdoor kitchen. The pool and hot tub were nice and didn't have excessive chemicals used. Jean was very attentive to our needs. She answered phone calls and replied to all emails within minutes. She provided a lovely gift basket for us filled with coffee, potato chips, chocolates plus other goodies. She has a book of information in the condo with recommendations for restaurants, activities, etc. I would highly recommend this condo for anybody that needs a two bedroom. I wish there was a way to leave more than 5 stars because this place is a 10. Thank you again Jean for sharing your lovely condo with us. I cannot wait to go back. We will most certainly rent from you again on our next trip.

“Wonderful Time” We loved the condo, the only problem we had with the unit is it was too hot. The sun came in from 8 am till sunset. We love sitting on the Lanai but there is no sun screen to block full sun. The entire A building has this problem. We will only stay on B side from now on. Other than that it was wonderful.

“In the Top 3!” We have been coming to Maui for over 30 years. In that time, we have stayed in many different condos and Ohanas(private cottages). This unit was definitely in our top 3. The location was perfect! We could easily walk out our door to grocery stores & post office or restaurants. The unit was a little more spacious than most. They have upgraded the kitchen & bathroom, doing an excellent job on the nice big shower. Being located on the ground floor, with a spacious lanai, & near the BBQs, offered us the opportunity to host a couple of gatherings for 10-12 people. The unit is pretty well stocked with almost anything you"ll need. We loved the king size bed and and the matching furnishings. Having a safe for our valuables was an added & well appreciated bonus.The grounds are well kept, with an excellent swimming pool and outdoor kitchen area. The beach is only a block away. The owners are very responsive to any problem that we had. There were only 2 negatives that we found but which we managed to work around. The w/d are not in the unit. Luckily, they are located right outside the door and there was a change machine at the pool, which helped immensely. The laundry so close, made it less of an inconvenience than we thought it would be & we were there for 6 wks, so we did do laundry. The most negative thing is that this complex bills itself as a nonsmoking complex but has no bylaws to enforce No Smoking on residents who choose to smoke on their lanais. All guests seem to follow the rules and restricted their smoking to the designated Smoking Areas. Unfortunately, the owner/neighbor next to us, even after implored by both the owners and ourselves to please not smoke because it drifted directly into our unit, persisted in doing so and was not reasonable when approached. Luckily, this will not deter us from returning to this unit. We had a mostly wonderful stay and sincerely look forward to more stays in the near future and for years to come.

“Great Getaway!!” I loved unit 1105 at The Palms. It was totally updated and very clean. The beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have. Loved the quiet nature of the Palms and the proximity to all of the beautiful beaches!!

“Great Getaway from Saskatchewan” Very Satisfied. Wendi was very helpful and professional

“exellent condo” very nice modern condo, comfortable, peaceful, great sunsets, close to everything. good to have pool on site.

“Always a good experience” We have been using Knutson's services for many years and it has always been a pleasure doing business with them. Any calls for service have been promptly and cheerfully answered.
