Aloha Spirit in Downtown Kona - Right by the Ocean

Aloha Spirit at Kona Alii offers you a private and quiet base of operations for all of your vacation adventures on the active Big Island of Hawaii. This beautiful 1-bedroom, 2 bath condo is the perfect place for anyone who wants to stay close to the action during their Hawaiian vacation. Located just off of Alii Drive, the Kona Alii building is within walking distance of some of the best shops, restaurants and beaches Alii Drive has to offer.

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed and en-suite bathroom for your privacy. Additionally the living room has a queen-sized murphy bed which can quickly be set up for a second sleeping accommodation. The mattress on the murphy bed is a full queen mattress, not a sofa bed mattress. When the murphy bed is not in use, the living room provides the perfect place to relax before and after a long day of fun-in-the-sun. Two comfortable couches surround the flat screen TV, equipped with AppleTV to access all of your favorite streaming channels.

Just off the living room is the spacious lanai, offering 2 chez lounges and a dining table for 4 guests. Complete with ocean views, the lanai overlooks Alii Drive, the heart of Downtown Kona. This section of Alii Drive is used as part of the run course for the Ironman World Championship triathlon! This is a perfect spot for spectators or the family of a competitor to view from. The bike portion of the race follows the road that backs the building as well. Inside the guest bath are full-sized washer and dryer which are free to use during your stay.

The location really can't get much better. The Kona Alii building opens in the front to direct Alii Drive access. Located just next door is the renowned Island Lava Java, a great place to experience some 100% Kona Coffee. The building has an entry-protected elevator which is centrally located in the building. The rear of the building houses the parking structure. This condo has one assigned parking space which is covered. It is located on the sub-level of the parking structure.

We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags.

Receive peace-of-mind knowing that if something does go wrong, one of our friendly and professional staff members is only a phone call away. With a warm “Aloha”, we at First Island Realty look forward to welcoming you to the most authentic option for a true island living experience.

Nice location, clean and comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was secure, clean and comfortable. They had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. The kitchen was stocked with all the stuff you need. It does get warm at night in the bedroom. We found some fans in the hall closet which helped a lot!

Perfect couples stay
This property is everything that it is advertised and more. The apartment is very clean, well furnished and stocked with beach gear, coolers, and even seasonings for cooking. The Murphy bed is extremely comfortable! The location is perfect as well. Ocean view from the lanai, easy walk to so many restaurants and shops.

We liked the location as it was close to restaurants. The unit was well equipped and had everything we needed including beach stuff. We did not like the lack of AC. Had to keep the windows open to keep cool but this meant quite a bit of noise at night.

Excellent location with easy access to shops and restaurants on Ali’i. Quiet. Nice to have washer and dryer in unit. Great afternoon sun and sunset views on the balcony. Bit challenging to find the parking space at first, but nice to have a covered space. All in all, good value!

Kona condo
The things we liked best about this condo in no particular order was: the security. No one gets in without a key. Very secure. Loved the pool. The communication with the host was excellent. They responded to our questions promptly and rectified any issues we had. Proximity to restaurants and shops. The queen bed was comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well stocked with essentials. The balcony was great as it had room for a table and 2 chairs and two lounge chairs. The thing that cost this condo a star was the lack of some basic housecleaning. Unfortunately the floors were very dirty and there was a lot of dust on furniture and mineral deposits on a shower door and dirty cushions. One thing that can't be avoided is the night noise. But that's what you get for staying in town. This condo served our purposes and we had a wonderful vacation.

4 night stay
Overall enjoyed our stay even though there were some minor inconveniences. Great location. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Great view of sunset from outside the building. Felt really safe. Pool was really big but water was very cold. Boogie boards on premise were not in usable condition. A couple lights (one over Murphy bed and one in bathroom) weren’t working. The washer smelled of mildew but clothes smelled fine after using it. There were many fans but still felt warm with no A/C.

This is our second stay at this property. It is everything that you could wish for in a holiday condominium. Easy access to the airport, to shopping and to restaurants. The unit is well equipped and although not air-conditioned, the Hawaii breezes plus ample fans maintain a very pleasant indoor climate. two bathrooms plus a washer-dryer combination and comfortable bed and furnishings make for great liveability. The free Wi-Fi and ample tv programs just supplement the holiday. love it!

It was a little tricky to find the property but once we found it and got checked in we were pleasantly surprised with how nice of a location it was! We had the perfect view of sunsets from our lanai every night! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Kona but still feel at home.

September visit
The property was exactly as described on the internet. It was wonderful to have two bathrooms. The lack of air conditioning, which we never use in Hawaii anyway (because of the ever present breezes), was offset by ample ceiling and floor fans. The kitchen was amply stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking gear. The refrigerator, stove and laundry were more than adequate for us. The ice maker was well used. The television program selection was great, even including the “Willow” cricket channel which many Aussies would love to watch. The lanai provided a view of the sea and the breaking waves could be heard. Generally the unit was very quiet with little traffic noise and none from adjoining units. The pool was huge and the temperature was just right. A variety of restaurants and shopping were within walking or short driving distance. A holiday experience we thoroughly enjoyed. We have already booked a repeat stay.

My husband and I stayed for a week in this spacious condo. It has all the basics. The location and pool were excellent. The property management company were very communicative and helpful. Really appreciate the parking spot for our rental car. We would stay here again. Only wish list item would be. AC but the fans did a nice job of moving the air around. Thank for a great vacation.
