Ocean Sunsets and Waking Up to the Sounds of Waves

Welcome to our professionally designed tropical oasis on the Kona Coast, located on Ali’i drive. Get away from the more populated islands and enjoy true relaxation on the Big Island. This home is the ideal staging point to explore all of the hidden wonders of Hawaii.

You will be tempted to stay and enjoy the beautiful décor, but if you spend all day inside you are doing Hawaii wrong. Get outside, get tan and make some memories!
You will find the check-in process easy with smart locks and a custom code. As you open the door you will enter a modern living room with vibrant splashes of tropical green. A Roku enabled television has been provided so that you can log in to all of your favorite streaming services and enjoy entertainment between beach trips. You will find the couch folds into a twin size bed.

To your right, enter through the sleek sliding door into the dedicated work space. If you are going to be stuck on a computer in paradise we wanted to make sure you at least had an unobstructed view of the mountain. Crank open the window and catch the ocean breeze as you bask in the tropical colors and sounds.

Behind you is a sleeping area perfect for enjoying sunrises and listening to the calls of the exotic birds singing in the morning.

As you return to the main living area make sure you notice the beautiful mid century modern dining set that overlooks the community garden. If you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of Geckos as they scurry in the foliage.

While exploring the kitchen you will catch glimpses of the ocean and maybe even hear the crashes of the waves. The door leads to your private lanai with lounge chairs and peek-a-boo views of the ocean. Make sure you open the deck box and inspect the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards and snorkel gear that will make trips to the beach stress free, active and full of memories.

Returning inside, you will notice the stocked bathroom including towels for all of your party, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer.

Finally you are in the bedroom. The space has been tastefully decorated continuing the jungle theme and including a full length mirror and California King bed. The plane might have been cramped but you can spread out here! Above the bed is a window A/C unit that you can use if the ocean breeze and ceiling fans are not keeping the space comfortable for you. The closet holds all of the sheets needed for the pull out bed as well as a pack and play and folding high chair for the little one. Now that you have established your home base, go out and explore all that Hawaii has to offer.

You will have full access to the assigned parking spot, condominium unit and private lanai with the exception of the cabinet labeled "Host's Cabinet". There is community access to the pool, a BBQ and dining area and the tropical garden. Please do not go into any areas that are marked as private or restricted access.

Parking and Shared Spaces

• Free parking on the space labeled “207”.
• Pool Access from 8AM to 8PM.
• Gas Grill and outdoor seating near the pool
• Please do not go into any areas that are marked “Private” or “Restricted”.
• Please be courteous of shared areas and respectful during quiet times (8PM to 8AM)
• Our community consists of only 14 units, so odds are you will be able to have most of the amenities to yourself.

We pride ourselves in quick response times. If there is anything you need, feel free to reach out.
Location

• In the Kona Riviera Villas complex on Ali’i Drive – just south of downtown Kona.
• Enjoy the ocean waves and make sure to visit Ali'i Gardens marketplace slightly south of our complex.
• Perfect place to enjoy the relaxation of the ocean while also being close enough to the excitement of downtown.
Recommendations

• To explore everything on Hawai’i Island, we recommend a rental car. Rental options are available in downtown Kona and at the Airport.
• Bike shares are available throughout Kona. The closest station is about .5 miles north of the complex.
• Kona Trolley has a stop near the Reef Liquor store and Deli. Anticipated schedule can be found by searching for “Kona trolley” online.
Things to know

While the complex is ocean front, our unit only has peekaboo views of the ocean. Please keep this in mind while anticipating your trip.

Most Hawai’i homes do not have air conditioning and the bedroom window unit will not cool the entire condo. Opening the windows and running fans is both effective and ecofriendly.
Our unit faces Ali’i drive. There will be traffic noises from the street side of the unit. Please be aware.

We are on the second floor. Stairs are used to access the unit. No elevator is available.
There is a single community pool with no hot tub. The pool is wonderfully maintained with gorgeous views.



Some neighboring units allow smoking. We do not. Occasionally you may smell some of the odor during your stay.

Good for a couple and kids

States 2 bedrooms, 2nd bed is a pullout and is very uncomfortable, might be okay for small children but not suited for adults. Also, very hot. AC is only available in the master bedroom. Had issues with the hot water in the shower as well. No view of the ocean from the unit. However, beautiful view of the ocean by the pool.

Down time retreat

Property was perfect for a day of doing nothing after days of going full blast. The pool overlooking the ocean was perfect for reading and chilling, as was the small side balcony in the tree tops. Discovery of a market across the street was a bonus experience.

Amazing stay.

For full disclosure I am a family friend to the host but very much a pleased customer. It is comfortable, clean and well stocked for my stay. Easy and close to every thing we wanted to do. At every point the communication with Jeremy was prompt. I really appreciated that. This is now my standard for other stays at other locations in the future. Thank you again!
