Unwind on Your Fantasy Hawaiian Vacation- 1BD/1BA Condo in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Unwind on Your Fantasy Hawaiian Vacation- 1BD/1BA Condo in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Unwind on Your Fantasy Hawaiian Vacation- 1BD/1BA Condo in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, I’ll be honest — the name had me expecting something a bit touristy. But this three-star condo on Alii Drive actually surprised me in the best way. The building sits right along the coastline, and you can hear the waves from the moment you step out of your car. It’s not fancy, but there’s something genuinely relaxing about the whole setup that makes you slow down immediately.

Location & Neighborhood

Alii Drive is honestly one of the better stretches to stay on in Kailua-Kona — you’re close enough to walk into town for dinner, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds every morning. The condo sits about a ten-minute stroll from the main strip where all the restaurants and shops are clustered. What I really appreciated was having that little rocky shoreline right across the street where locals actually go to fish and watch sunsets. You know what? The couples who rate this place highly are onto something — there’s definitely a romantic, low-key vibe here that works well for two people.

The Condo Experience

The apartment itself feels like staying at a friend’s place rather than a typical hotel room. The living area opens up to a small lanai where you can actually sit with your morning coffee and watch the ocean — I mean, it’s not a massive balcony, but it does the job perfectly. The kitchen is compact but functional, which came in handy when I grabbed some fresh fish from the local market and didn’t want to eat out every single night. The bedroom gets a nice cross-breeze, and honestly, falling asleep to the sound of waves is pretty hard to beat.

Daily Life Here

Mornings here have this easy rhythm — you wake up, make coffee, step outside, and just breathe for a minute. The parking situation is straightforward, which might sound boring but trust me, it matters when you’re hauling beach gear around. I spent most afternoons either at the little beach area nearby or driving down to some of the better snorkeling spots south of town. The condo works well as a home base because you’re not paying resort prices, but you’re still getting that oceanfront location that makes the Big Island special.

Why Guests Love It

This place gets it right by keeping things simple and focusing on what actually matters — location, comfort, and that genuine Hawaiian feeling without all the resort fuss. The fact that recent guests consistently mention the location tells you everything you need to know. You’re getting real value here, especially for couples who want to experience Kona without breaking the bank or dealing with crowded hotel pools. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually unwind (yeah, the name fits) and feel like you’re living in Hawaii for a week rather than just visiting it.

• Anna from Austria (4/10)

  Good location and amazing ocean view!

• Ray from United States (8/10)

  Location and pools.

• Kitzlcoatl from United States (8/10)

  The property was attractive (pool area, landscaping, etc.) and quiet. The kitchen was well appointed. The bed was comfy, with lots of pillows. We felt safe here.
  
  Availability was a huge issue for us: We THOUGHT we had reserved another property but it turned out the reservation had never been secured. That this was available at the last minute was a godsend for us.

• Emma from United States (7/10)

  I appreciated the soft bed comforter, the extra towels and blankets, and the air conditioning. Directions for getting in were straightforward and the host was very responsive. The proximity to shops added to the ease of travel. Overall a nice stay.

• Sherri from United States (7/10)

  location was great.

• Jeanine from United States (9/10)

  The property was very quite while we were there. Loved the "beach" for relaxing and the salt pool was great. The unit was comfortable with everything you need. Beds were comfy and slept well. Microwave wasn't working at the time and the pans are worn but sleeping comfortably and location was our main concern

• Sherry from United States (3/10)

  the condo complex was exceptional, I will be finding another condo to stay in at this exact location in the future.

• Gary from United States (8/10)

  Excellent location to local beaches and the center of town. The Casa on site store is a jewel of a convenience shop for food, drinks (alcohol and non-alcohol) local favorite snacks and island souvenirs. This was our best Condo location. Aloha and Mahalo, Dr. Beth😃🌺❤️

• Sophia from United States (8/10)

  the salt water pool

• Sashenie from United States (9/10)

  Great location and amenities! We had a toddler with us, and she loved that she could walk a few feet to swim in the pool while seeing the ocean. Size of the space was great for me, my husband and daughter. Everything was clean and the host provided towels (including pool towels), a few beach floats, and drying rack on balcony for wet clothes that was very nice. Balcony chairs and table were a big hit for relaxing and eating outside when the sun was at its peak. Parking on premises was very convenient. Close to things while being a bit away from the crowd.
