Chris & Samantha, what a pleasure doing business with the 2 of you!!! Our group of 6 senior ladies from OK & TX could not have been more pleased with our convenient, economical, & absolutely perfect Kailua-Kona accommodations & the fact that you honored our reservations exactly a year later with the same 2weeks & price due to our vacation's Covid delay! You thought of simply everything to make our stay inviting & ideal, from the fully stocked kitchen (we lacked for no utensil or appliance whatsoever, plus ample spices & pantry items awaited to save on our grocery bill!) , to comfortable beds & bedding (even a new bunkbed), plenty of amenities to kick off our stay (paper goods, detergents, soap, etc), the walk-in shower was such a bonus, & on & on, making it feel much more like home than a rental!

There were a plethora of books & games stocking the living room bookcases & a super-sized tv, which in any other setting would have been most welcome & utilized; however, with the spectacular view from the lanai to enjoy day after day, we had no need of further entertainment! We started each morning with coffee & then a lanai breakfast & ended with dinner, which made our stay not only economical but so heavenly & relaxing!
(*For the most part we did not require a/c at night & enjoyed open windows, ocean breezes & the sound of crashing waves just outside to lull us to sleep. On the couple of nights the breeze wasn't quite sufficient enough, our ceiling fans, floor fans & bedroom air conditioners were much-appreciated but unneeded again with the onset of cool morning air! ) We looked forward to sunset each evening & were not disappointed a single time!...absolutely spectacular from our vantage point!!! It's celebrated nightly from benches by the back fence overlooking the ocean (mere steps from the condo & our convenient numbered parking spot) & lava outcropping & is a great opportunity to meet neighbors (& their cute dogs) & swap tourist stories & information!
FYI: our favorite activity during our 2week stay was a unique guided tour of the Cloud Forest, within a mere 20min drive of the condo. Other very enjoyable activities included the Body Glove historical sunset dinner cruise, Marriott Waikoloa luau, Volcano National Park, Akaka Falls & Hilo, Waimea's Anna Ranch, the painted church, Big Island Air's circle island tour, Greenwell Coffee Plantation, Hulile's Palace, Hamakua Nut Company, attending both Mokuaikaua & Lifestones historic churches (both located along Alii Dr), etc; but, our favorite activity (aside from lounging on the lanai & gazing at the surf) was simply taking daily drives to & through the touted 11 climate zones of the Big Island, while ooohing & aaahing over 1 gorgeous scenic vista, beach park & mountain peak after another! Hawaii has so much to offer & we were determined to see, do, eat, enjoy, shop as much as possible in our 2weeks! That goal was accomplished, with much thanks to Chris for providing such a wonderful, affordable & conveniently located home-away for our group, & to Samantha for handling our booking, rebooking & myriad of questions so graciously & expertly! We are so grateful for the pleasure & opportunity to reside at your Alii Villa during our extraordinary gals' vacation & look forward to repeat visit in the future...thank you both for your Hawaiian hospitality from all 6 of us!!!
