Aloha!
Welcome to Pineapple Place Reimagined! Our 2 bed 1 bath condo in lovely Kona sleeps 6, with access to an amazing oceanfront pool! In fact we just learned its the only residential ocean front pool in Kona! So therefore its the best pool in Kona! It's our tiny slice of real estate & we love sharing it with others. Great location 1 mile south of Kona
We are happy to report we donated $600 to Maui Relief last year. We are going to keep giving back in 2025 and will donate a portion of our proceeds to a local Kona charity.
Thanks to all of you we are on the verge of Premier Host
We have been hosting in Hawaii for 6 years now! Every year we take feed back from our guests both good and bad and aim to improve our place. This year we reimagined the pineapple place. Its still the same pineapple place you loved.. but with some new guest friendly features! Read on!
The First and most important change is TAXES are now included in the price! So no extra charge for Hawaii tax anymore. The price you see is the price you pay. Our accountant said please don't do this.. but our guests come first!
Check out is now 11 am! We know how hard it is to get moving in the morning and pack up. We are giving you an extra hour to pack up!
More flexible cancellations: We changed our policy to the most flexible VRBO has!
New discount for Hawaii residents. You live on the big island and want to get away for a few days? Or maybe you are coming over from Oahu. Just let us know you are a Hawaii resident with proof (photo of drivers license) and we will give you a 10% discount (except Iron man and holidays).
Want to get away and work from home in paradise? We have upgraded wifi, as well as a new fan on the lanai for the best place to work. Because nothing is better than working outside!
Our space is small (about 600 sq ft) but has everything you need for a great Hawaiian Vacation! Amenities include a community OCEAN FRONT POOL and BBQ area!!!, a small but fully equipped kitchen just updated with new pots and pans!, wifi, Roku Smart TV, private Lanai with new privacy bamboo!, NO STAIRS, assorted beach gear (new snorkels and fins), App based or coin laundry on the property, 1 assigned parking space with additional guest parking potentially available (no oversized vehicles, contact if you have one and we will try to help you out)
Unbeatable Kailua-Kona Location - Steps from Ali'i Drive, Ocean access from the property with lovely tide pools, I saw an octopus last year!, Not recommended for swimming as its a bit rough.. but perfect for the sunset! Or rent a fishing pole and try fishing, just don't clean your fish in our condo!!!)
The condo is 1 mile south of downtown and 2 miles North of magic sands beach! Grab a Kona Coffee from Green Flash next door and have a lovely morning stroll! its one of our favorite things to do! Or rent a bike from the bike rack across the street and bike to happy hour at Lava Java or Huggos on the Rocks!
The Big Island is home to unique landscapes and gorgeous wildlife so get exploring (its why its the best island!) We highly recommend KonaStyle catamarans. Our neighbor is the first mate on the boat and its a great time!
Volcano National Park, Manta Ray diving (a must), Mauna Kea observatory, and Waipo Valley are all amazing! If you have any questions please ask us as we have a long list of recommendations! especially if you like happy hour!
LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS NOTICE: Hi all, we love being available for those than need last minute accommodation (within 48 hours of check in booking). In those cases please check with us before booking so we can make sure our team can get the place ready for you. Our local team is awesome but have requested that we check with them on last minute requests. 99% of the time its fine but we don't want to have you show up and it not be ready! So just check with us on the last minutes requests!
Holiday Check in Notice (NYE, NYD, July 4, TG, Xmas day) Our cleaner is a wonderful local independent operator. Like us all she wants to spend the holidays with her family. If you check in on a holiday noted above, she will clean but will need to charge double. Note we do note keep any of the cleaning fee and 100% goes to her.
If you rent from us the entire condo is yours!! Both bedrooms have comfortable Queens beds!. Additionally, our living room has a Queen sized sofa bed (please ask if you need this so we can leave sheets for it). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and just updated! Additionally if you are traveling with your little ones we now have a Pack n Play so you don't have to bring one!
The condo is equipped with Air Conditioning in the main room and ceiling fans in each room.
We have enacting some environmentally friendly policies (this is Hawaii and we do not want to be wasteful in our resource usage) that were recommended by our cleaner who is an awesome local lady. The primary one being that she sets up the condo based on the number of people listed when the reservation is made. So please be accurate because if you are not then you might have a few less towels than you need!
Other things to note
- Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, flat-screen SMART TV, beach gear, assigned parking space and more!
- Coin or card laundry is available in the building next to ours. Map is on the door
- We have a lots of recommendations for just about anything you might want. Don't hesitate to ask us! If you need something specific for your stay or notice something missing you need don't hesitate to ask us. We will do our best to help out.
- Closest Commercial Airport: Kona International Airport at Keāhole:
73~200 Kupipi St, Kailua~Kona, HI 96740, (approx 10 miles away). About a 20 minute drive. We are happy to host guests for one night as we are close to the airport too!
- House rules are provided and any fines due to violations of these a rules are the responsibility of the guest.
Now for the annoying stuff. Absolutely NO SMOKING or VAPING. If we find evidence you disregarded this rule you will be fined your entire security deposit. Finally do not put grease, coffee grinds or other large objects in the disposal. This will clog the drain and you will be charged if we have to call a plumber. (This has happened). Also only minimum possible TP in the toilet. The plumbing is on the older side and can’t handle large amounts of TP. If we have to call a plumber due to this you are responsible.
Also this is a tropical island and thus there are occasional bugs. Being a ground floor unit you may see one from time to time especially is you leave the doors to the lanai open. Thus we ask you to keep the doors closed. The association is aggressive in spraying and we have an on call bug guy for emergencies. (an emergency is not 1 or 2 ants or roaches btw, again think of the environment on this one).
