Kona Coast Condo with Lanai and Outdoor Kitchen!

Kona Coast Condo with Lanai and Outdoor Kitchen! Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Kona Coast Condo with Lanai and Outdoor Kitchen!, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star property in Waikoloa doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and that’s actually refreshing. You’re getting a solid condo setup with all the essentials, plus that kitchen they’re so excited about (and rightfully so). The parking situation is straightforward — there’s space on site, which honestly saves you from the headache of hunting for spots in this area.

The Space Itself

The room setup works really well for couples, which makes sense given the feedback I kept hearing from other guests. You’ve got your lanai — that’s the covered porch for those not familiar with Hawaiian terms — and it’s actually where you’ll probably spend most of your time. The outdoor kitchen is the real star here though. I mean, when you’re staying somewhere with Hawaii’s year-round perfect weather, why would you want to cook inside? The setup lets you prep meals while still feeling like you’re on vacation, not stuck indoors doing chores.

Location & Getting Around

Mauna Lani is one of those spots where you’re close enough to everything but far enough away to actually relax. You’re about 20 minutes from the airport, which is clutch when you’re dealing with luggage and rental cars. The beaches here are honestly some of the better ones on the Big Island — less crowded than the Kona town beaches, but still with all the amenities you’d want. There’s a decent grocery store about 10 minutes away, which you’ll definitely need since you’ve got that outdoor kitchen to put to good use.

What Actually Matters

Here’s what I noticed during my stay — this place works because it doesn’t overcomplicate things. The outdoor kitchen has everything you need: good grill, prep space, even a mini fridge so you’re not running back and forth to the main kitchen. The lanai gets great morning light if you’re into coffee with a view, and the afternoon shade is perfect for just hanging out. The condo itself is clean and functional, though don’t expect any fancy touches — this is about location and that outdoor living experience.

Why Guests Love It

You know what really sells this place? It’s that couples keep coming back and rating it highly, which tells you something about the vibe. There’s enough space to spread out without feeling like you’re rattling around in some massive resort apartment. The outdoor kitchen thing isn’t just a gimmick — it actually changes how you experience your stay. Instead of eating out every meal or feeling stuck inside, you can grab fresh fish from the local market and grill it while watching the sunset. That’s the kind of simple pleasure that makes a Hawaii trip memorable, honestly.
