 Aloha
and welcome to paradise!
We're proud to offer a
luxury condo rental in the heart of sunny Kailua Town
on the Kona Coast of the Big Island
of Hawaii.

Top Three Reasons to choose our condo at the
Kona Pacific #D522:
-
Location!
-
Location!
-
Location!
-
 Ocean View! Less
than a block from ocean
(we did not wish to be “ON” the ocean
with storm waves worrying us or dealing w/
the constant need to clean salt
off the windows.)
(click on photo at right for zoom view off the wrap-around lanai
Master Suite side of the condo; click on boat for further zoom - can
you count how many people are on the boat?
Answer: 8)
-
 Public
beach less than two blocks away with new public bathroom/showers
(Perfect sandy beach to watch a sunset, bathe in the sunshine or
take a dip in the sea.)
-
 Easy
walking distance to popular weekly luaus, bars, oceanfront
restaurants and coffee shops, shopping, Kona Pier, historical sites, churches,
Farmer's Market, banks, post
office, library, oh! and did I mention tons of shopping options?! :)
Everything within 1 - 8 blocks!
-
 Condo
building is a solid cement/steel
structure
(it’s a civil defense building, isn’t that comforting?
earthquake proof - more than most - we feel much safer!
Plus it's approx. 65 feet above sea level - out of tsunami
danger. Whew!)
-
 High
Speed Internet Access and HP DeskJet
Printer/Scanner/Fax/Copier
(usually kept on Master Suite side, so if you only book the
Studio side of the condo, let us know beforehand that you'll
want to use these to hook up to your laptop.)
-
 Swimming
pool, BBQ grill area, and gardens are meticulously cared for with manager on-site
(brand new elevators, recently updated tile/carpet/paint throughout
complex - very nice!)
-
 No
Smoking (Hawaii passed a
statewide ban on smoking in public places, and the Kona Pacific
Condo association further passed a rule restricting smoking
anywhere on the premises - if you are a smoker, this condo is
not gonna be for you, sorry. (You'll need to walk 50 feet
from the parking stalls to the street to light up a ciggy if you
must.) If you are allergic to
cigarette smoke - you'll LOVE it here.
-
 Green
Cleaning: The
condo is supplied with organic hand soap, eco-friendly dish soap
and cleaning supplies that are green, green, GREEN. (Note:
we use natural insect repellents inside the condo, and allow the
geckos to run free to chase the odd bug or two (and eat your mac nuts
if you let 'em!), but the outside building is sprayed once a
month on a schedule which they give notice about, so you can
plan a day out on the beach if this affects you.)
-
 Gecko
Highway:
We guarantee you'll have fun with the wild geckos who seem to
really enjoy our condo lanais. Put a bit of papaya rind
out there and watch 'em come in for a lick. We've counted
8 at once in view while reading a book on the lounger!

"I hopped
over to the Krupp's condo in March 2009 and had a blast in Hawaii!
My favorite thing was the snorkeling, we actually swam with wild
dolphins and all kinds of fish, turtles, octopus - it was really neat.
(Next time it's the manta rays!) My buddy Shawn and I drove
a rental car around the whole island one day to see the volcano and
Hilo, etc. It was a long drive - what a BIG island! I have
to say that the condo is in the perfect location right in Kailua-Kona.
Everything we could need was located within a short walking distance (-
although we had already rented a car.) One day we rented scooters
which was also really fun! I highly recommend anyone else to stay
at this condo - it was a class act with all the luxuries of king beds,
dishwasher, Jacuzzi whirlpool bathtub, washer/dryer, and the kitchen is
fully stocked with equipment - definitely a "home-away-from-home"!
We enjoyed the pool & BBQ area several times for meals and there was
even a place to rinse dishes in the cabana. It was very, very nice
and we'll be back next year! Thanks for all the recommendations,
Kim & Big John! " -Terry Heller, Pelican Rapids, MN
"The condo was in perfect
condition when we arrived. Heather is wonderful and very helpful.
It's a cute place. Lanai perfect. Central location to
snorkeling and beautiful beaches, PERFECT! Thank you Kim! We
had the best time ever!" --Kathleen Vance, May 2009
"We LOVED that there are 3
bathrooms. We also really liked the 2 king beds - most condo
rentals only had queen beds on VRBO. The lanai is fabulous!
We had plenty of supplies and I found your website to be thorough.
We loved playing Cranium (the board game). Thanks for a wonderful
vacation!" ----Jennifer Herringa, December 2009

 To
rent a car, or NOT to rent a car . . .
Most guests choose to rent a car during their stay as they wish to
explore the Big Island at their leisure. This is a big island, no
doubt about it. There are several
nation-wide rental car agencies for you to choose from at the KOA (Keahole
Airport). Google your favorite and check out their rates for a
deal.
 However,
it is not necessary to rent a car. You can easily hire an airport
shuttle to taxi you from the airport nine miles to the condo. For
two persons, the average cost is around $30 one-way.

 There
is a new free Trolley Shuttle bus that takes visitors along the
four mile strip of Ali'i Drive for even more shopping and beach stops.

There is also a public bus called the Hele-On which goes all the way
around the island (a full day trip.) FREE
http://www.hawaii-county.com/mass_transit/heleonbus.html
 Many
activity companies have their own shuttle vans, so if you choose to go
on the Mauna Kea Summit Adventure, (http://maunakea.com)
for example, they will pick you up at the Buns in the Sun bakery,
next to Long's Drug, Sack 'N Save grocery store.
It's about 7 blocks away.

THINGS TO DO:
Kim &
Big John briefly lived here in 1996-1997 a few miles south of Kailua-Kona in
Captain Cook coffee orchard
country. Living with the natives gave them an opportunity to experience the warm and
generous nature of local folks, and "off the beaten track" local foods and
hangouts. Click on the links at top or
bottom of this page for a list of their favorite
eateries and activities (many NOT on
the normal tourist brochures).
