Loved the location by the ocean and a more quiet part of the main drive in Kona.

“Situé à la sortie de Kona, à proximité de nombreuses commodités, cet ensemble d’appartements hôteliers est bien équipé avec une piscine donnant en front de mer. L’endroit est calme et reposant. Produits de toilette fournis ainsi que lave linge dans l’appartement, un réel plus. Le personnel est très gentil et facilite le séjour.”

“Aston Kona by the Sea is an excellent choice for a vacation. It has a full-size kitchen with everything you need for preparing food, an in-unit washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms, and giant patio with a breathtaking view. The very friendly front desk will guide you with any support you need. Our family enjoyed every moment being there.”
If there weren’t loads of dead bugs, it would have been perfect.

An Oceanfront Island Treasure

“After hearing about this place for a while, we finally had the opportunity to experience it. This place is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and kept very orderly and clean and secure. Every morning I would enjoy my coffee on the lanai watching the caretakers clean the saltwater pool, hot-tub, gas grills and all of the tables, chairs and lounge chairs daily. Unit 309 was fantastic! It’s a one bedroom condo with two pullout beds, two full bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer and plenty of living space. It seemed like this unit was recently remodeled as all of the appliances were new. The condo’s decor totally captured the Hawaiian vibe, fun, relaxing and all done tastefully with elements harkening back to Hawaii of the 50’s & 60’s. This is an Ocean front condo with a lanai that is outfitted with table & chairs, loveseat and a lounge chair, enough to seat 7 people, all with a fantastic views of the ocean, pool, hot-tub and beach.
We will definitely be returning! Hopefully we’ll be able to request #309 as it is exactly how I would imagine a Hawaiian vacation home to be like.”

“My family and I had a wonderful stay. We were fortunate to have the ocean-view suite, and that truly took the experience to another level. Having breakfast while overlooking the ocean and falling asleep each night to the sound of the waves made our stay incredibly relaxing and memorable. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit, making us feel valued from start to finish. Thank you for helping make our trip such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.”
Quiet, enjoyable stay.

“Great location, very spacious, fully equipped.
Condo has SO much potential, but aesthetically needs Major updating!
Having inside laundry is great, however, the laundry unit sounds like a spaceship is taking off.. Accommodated four people. Needs a pull out couch to accommodate any additional family members or you might need to go to Costco and buy a blowup bed. Living room furniture, very uncomfortable.
Front desk personnel was very friendly.”
