White Sands Village poolside

White Sands Village

This fairly old condo building is right across the street from White Sands Beach Park, which is usually swimmable. Nice pool and grounds. The buildings are adequately maintained. They get a few extra points for the beach proximity (but don’t expect much of an ocean...

Kona Bali Kai lobby with lively decoration and plants

Kona Bali Kai

With some units on both sides of Alii Drive at this condo property, the oceanfront units can be a good deal. Units are smallish and adequate, but the views are excellent from the large lanais on the oceanfront units which lack A/C (you do get a nice breeze off the...

Kona by the Sea

Adequately furnished condos (though some could use updating), quiet, with pleasant grounds. The pool has an adjacent sandy area that’s kind of nice. The oceanfront saltwater pool mentioned in Sights section is next to the grounds, but you have to access it...

Kona Isle lawn

Kona Isle

Very small condos, but for the price they're a great deal. Units are extra clean, and the complex is oceanfront with very pleasant grounds. There’s a small sandy area with BBQs sprinkled about. Check out the genuine oceanfront saltwater pool next door, mentioned in...

Casa de Emdeko balcony

Casa de Emdeko

The design and décor is a weird, out-of-place Spanish permutation, but the rooms can be a good deal. Get as close to the ocean as you can. Units ending in 19 and 38 have spectacular wrap-around lanais facing the ocean. The rock-enclosed saltwater pool should be...

Royal Sea-Cliff Resort

This condominium is run similarly to a hotel, though units are individually owned and half are timeshare. Condos are fairly large. Note from the aerial photo that the middle rooms, though many are called “Partial Ocean View,” have poor ocean views. (Think of the...

Kona Makai entrance

Kona Makai

These condos are smallish but clean, and the price is decent. Some units are upgraded, while others feel dated. The grounds are pleasant. Only buildings 1 and 6 will get you close to the ocean; consider springing for them. End oceanfront units are certainly the...

Alii Villas nature area

Alii Villas

The pool is away from the ocean in the middle of the condo complex (but it's heated if that's important to you). This ain’t the greatest place to stay; it’s pretty institutional-feeling, and the views feel the same from most units, but the location and price are...

Sea Village walkway with trees surrounding it

Sea Village

Quiet location for this condo, nicely kept grounds and rooms. There’s a large grassy BBQ area next to the pool that makes a fine place to cook that fish you caught today (or bought at Costco). Lots of these units are timeshares, but there are still many vacation...

Kona Tiki Hotel beach with chairs and umbrellas

Kona Tiki Hotel

This is a small, old-style Kona hotel. All rooms have incredible oceanfront views right next to the water. How close? The swimming pool is permanently salty from waves washing over the rock wall and is available to you 24 hours “if you behave.” The guests usually...
