Walking distance to the ocean

Ocean access was beautiful and in walking distance. The AC in the condo was awesome. The location was close to everything we wanted to do in Kailua Kona. Loved it!

Great location

Perfect location

I throughly enjoyed my stay! Location was perfectly located on Ali’i Drive, quiet, safe, and across from the beach to catch beautiful sunsets. All essentials were provided and communication with host was excellent. Yin was accommodating and quick to respond. Overall, I recommend booking her place… you will not be disappointed!

Holualoa Getaway

This is a nice, clean condo. The island host and housekeeper were both easy to reach and very accommodating when we asked to drop off our things at the condo long before the check-in time, and they responded very quickly and fixed a leak in the ceiling.

Perfect family getaway!

Our family stayed at this condo and it was perfect! The condo came equipped with all of the essentials and more. The location is just a quick drive from downtown Kona and there is so much to do. We did have 1 issue with one of the slider doors and they came and fixed it the next day! The kids loved the pool and seeing the occasional kitty visiting the property. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future!

Kona Hidden Gem

Ying provided a great handbook before we arrived. Everything was detailed and we had issues while we were there. The condo was clean and comfortable for 4 adults, and outfitted with everything we needed. We appreciated having the beach chairs and beach towels, put them to good use. We had a great time exploring the Big Island, first time there and hope to go back.

Nice place, helpful management

A comfortable, convenient space that had all the amenities we needed for a couple of days. Family loved the pool and access to the beach and easy access to Kailua Kona for the last couple of days. The owner and host were super friendly and responsive. The shower curtains were a little smelly and the place was darker than the pictures, and noise travelled easily in the building, but these are relatively minor things. I would have scored this higher if we hadn't been in such stellar places the two weeks prior.

Super relaxing

We had a great time at the Royal Kahili. The pool and outdoor area were great. The whole place has a very mellow vibe and the location is perfect for exploring Kona. The apartment was very comfortable and the back porch over looks an undeveloped forested area where we saw wild pigs and chickens. The only downside for us was that even though there was an elevator, there were multiple steps to get to the apartment and the pool. Our son uses a wheelchair and we had selected the apartment because of the elevator. We were able to make it work but it was a little tricky. Overall we would highly recommend staying here!

Thanksgiving gettaway

We are a family of 4 from Honolulu and this was our first time to Kona. The unit was in a good location and was nice and spacious. A/C worked great and we don’t have central A/C in our house so it was a real treat. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. Having the master bathroom with big shower was super nice. Having the box of pool/beach toys was a nice touch. Our 15 year old and 2 year old loved the pool which was clean and a good temp. The only annoyance on the trip was the roosters in the woods nearby which start crowing at 4:30am! Overall we really enjoyed and would stay here again. The unit really is big and open and has a comfy feel.

Good Homebase for visit to the Big Island

We enjoyed our stay at Ying’s condo. Ying and Bridget were very attentive and quick to respond for needs of a few missing supplies. The condo was well stocked with dishes, towels, beach supplies, bathroom essentials, etc. The location was central for beach, shopping, and going north or south on the Island. It was nice to have a close parking spot and only about 5 steps to the 2nd floor. And the koi pond area was nice. We used the bbq and table down in the community area to watch the sunsets. It was a bit cramped for 4 adults. The tv area could use another comfortable seat or 2. We cooked most meals and the kitchen was tight for more than 2 people. Note that the doors are slatted on the bedrooms and hall bathroom which can be awkward if you’re traveling with another couple. Our biggest issue however was the flock of roosters next to the complex. Husband suggests you bring earplugs as they roost and crow in the trees right next to the master bedroom but were heard clearly and loudly in the far bedroom. This is not something Ying can do anything about, but it is an annoyance at 3 in the morning.

The pictures over sold the unit

The kitchen was under supplied. For example there were only 3 steak knives. There were 5 of us. The other sharp knives weren’t sharp. Three pool/beach towels. we did text the owner and were brought 2 more towels. Air conditioner was very loud. It place was pretty dated.. It was quite. The grounds and pool were nice. BBQs weren’t the best. The pool was great but the spa wasn’t working. Never got hot. The location was good with a pretty beach across the street but not for swimming etc. it was fun in the morning to sit and have coffee on the balcony and look out to a jungle with wild pigs, chickens and roosters and all kinds of birds. We could hear the waves. But the chest with the beach equipment etc was all wet and sandy and very unorganized. Smelled a bit mildewed. I would give the unit a C grade.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the property. The pool and outdoor community space were very nice. We had an assigned parking space right near our entrance which was nice to have since we had a car. Check in and out we're easy. There is grocery shopping about 10 minutes away and some local shops near by. Several food options near by as well. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We did find the place to not be well cleaned overall, there was hair in one of the showers, a spray bottle lid on the floor, and the kitchen unwiped. While we didn't find the place to be overly noisy the walls seemed a little thin, you could hear people talking and walking around on the upper levels.

Perfect Base for Kona Adventure

The owner was a great with communication about check-in/-out, and ideas for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location was great for driving or even walking anywhere. The Kona shuttle bus was nearby as well. Even the small rocky beach across the streat was a fun place to go read, relax and take a dip. It was a quick drive to Kailua or other Island locations. The apartment was well equipped for the kitchen (great knives!!!) and beach gear. The pool area was a great place to relax and grill dinner, too.
