Direct Ocean View in the Heart of Kailua-Kona/ At startline for Ironman!

Kona Plaza, located right in the heart of Kailua-Kona, is a quiet and private condominium building within walking distance of everything you want to do in Kona. Just across the street, you can go to the beach, the pier, shopping, and to the best restaurants in town. This condo unit (303) is located on the third floor overlooking beautiful Kailua Bay with a direct ocean view.

Totally remodeled in 2018, the condo has one bedroom with a new King sized bed and a very comfortable new queen size foldout couch and a new Murphy/queen bed in the living room (sleeps 2-6 people). Blow up mattresses are also available if the kids/adults want to sleep on the lanai (Our boys love sleeping outdoors on the lanai). The condo has recently been completely renovated and redecorated in a tropical and comfortable island style. It includes a fully equipped kitchen for cooking (new dishwasher) as well as a washer/dryer inside the unit.

Guests of Kona Plaza unit 303 can enjoy the onsite salt water (no chlorine) pool, sun decks, BBQ area (steps away), and secure onsite underground garage parking. Nearby, you will find additional shops, art galleries, beach apparel stores, hair salons, spas, jewelry stores, and great restaurants. Perfect location for tourists or seasoned travelers.

This location is perfect for the World Championship Ironman Triathlon. You can watch the swimming portion of the competition from the lanai or one of the sundecks and the marathon (on Ali'i Dr) from the lanai as well. Spinner Dolphins jump out front for your entertainment almost daily! The huge sound reduction sliding glass doors out to the lanai overlook Ali'i Drive and the ocean and block out any noise. The glass sliding doors are made of soundproof glass and provide a very quiet experience for everyone in the unit. Central building air conditioning is provided, with a new controller for more accurate and comfortable climate control.

This was the most organized and well stocked condo we have stayed. My adult son and I travel to the Big Island every year to snorkel and the location and amenties were fantastic. Loved the location and pleased that it was quiet despite the proximity to Ali'i drive. Sleeping arrangements were very comfortable and the best air conditioning set up of any place we have stayed. We bring our own snorkel gear because we like ours but this condo has all the snorkel equipment available for many people. The host is very communicative and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a fantastic place to stay in Kona, right in the heart of old Kona village. It had everything we needed, including plenty of swimming gear like snorkels, masks, fins, and towels. The kitchen was well-equipped with various cooking pans and utensils. We enjoyed a lovely view of the street and the ocean below. There’s also a covered garage for parking if needed. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. I will definitely seek out this place for my next trip to Kona!

book this place now! Great communication from the host . Everything in the unit was labeled perfectly. Nice view of the Ocean . Was fully equipped with all the beach gear youll need . Different sets and sizes of snorkel gear. Comfortable bed. Only suggestion is if you plan on doing laundry dont wait untill the last minute because the dryer takes a long time to dry due to it being ventless.
