How far are the condos from downtown Kona? And the ocean?
Kailua Village is a three-minute walk from Ali’i Drive, which is right on the Pacific Ocean. Check out the video below to see how to get from the condos through the Kona Islander Inn grounds to Ali’i and the ocean. (In the video, the walk takes a minute, but that’s thanks to iMovie editing. ;))
What happens when I arrive? How do I get the keys?
You’ll need to fill out a quick registration form; you’ll find the forms outside the building manager’s office. You can either hand the completed form to Ron, or drop it in the dropbox. After you submit the form, outside the office you’ll see a bar that houses all of the vacation rental lockboxes:
Is there an onsite resident manager?
There is! Ron is available in the main office during business hours, and also lives in the complex in case of emergencies.
Where can I throw out trash?
Across from the elevator on each floor, there is a door to the trash chute. Alternatively, you can go down to the first floor. As you’re coming out of the elevator, take a left, go through the door (your elevator key opens the door), take a right, and you’ll see two dumpsters (one on your left and one on your right).
Is there laundry onsite?
It’s on the first floor, clearly marked as Laundry. Please note that laundry room hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (you must begin your last load by 8 p.m.). You’ll need to download the PayRange app in order to pay for both washers and dryers.

Is there a pool?
There sure is! It’s not huge or opulent, but it’s perfect if you’re looking for a quick midday dip.

How about an outdoor grill?
Yes! The grill is located on the right when you enter from the parking lot.
