This wrapped deck has an expansive vista of the ocean with breakers right below you. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and soaking in the ocean’s beauty.The reservation staff was exceptional and leaned over backwards to help me out when I made an egregious error with my online reservation. So happy to have stayed here and would do so again!

Home away from home. This property was wonderful for our stay. Furnished with just about anything we could need. Having beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, pool noodles, snorkel gear, cooler, etc.) was awesome. This owners attention to detail is top notch. When we make a return trip, we will definitely check this condo availability first. Mahalo!!!

Whenever I'm heading back to Kona, I prefer this unit if its available. It sits almost directly over the water and with a wrap around lanai it offers stunning views. A few years ago both rooms were completely repainted and refurnished. More recently, the kitchen was completely redone with new appliances and cabinetry. It's a small point but the unit's assigned parking space on the ground floor is next to the complex's only elevator, so lugging suitcases and shopping bags up to the top floor is easy. The rental agents, Tainya and Tracy, are on site, friendly and helpful.

The condo is perfectly located. Off the main road, very
quiet other than the wonderful sound of the pounding
surf. Easy walking distance to many great restaurants.
The kitchen had all the necessary cooking utensils, as
well as many basic condiments for cooking. Enjoyed
sitting at the pool in the evening to watch the sunset,
and enjoying coffee on the lanai in the mornings.

The condo location was very good. We have stayed in the complex numerous times for that reason. The unit itself was very dated and needs a complete remodel and update. The guests that were in the unit above us were very loud and stomping on the floor at all hours that made our time in the unit very uncomfortable.

I've stayed in this unit in the past as it is cozy, convenient and quiet. But on my most recent visit I found that it has gone through a complete renovation with a new tile bathroom, new kitchen with quartz countertops new appliances and new cabinetry. The lanai has been upgraded as well which makes for great morning cups of coffee and sunset cocktails. Its a small point but the assigned parking spot is directly under the unit which makes lugging suitcases and shopping bags easy. The rental agents, Taina and Tracy, are on site and helpful and very committed to insuring their guests have a worry free visit.

When we arrived, there had been a leak in the ceiling from a clogged AC unit that required a repair along with an humidifier that ran for a few days. The unit smelled very musty and the manager did the best they could. It was an unfortunate situation so no blame on them. The best thing was the view and corner unit. Outstanding! It was very clean with good appliances and a well appointed kitchen. Great shower pressure! Great location! It's is just a tad dated but again, very clean. Onsite parking included. I would stay here again.

We loved our stay here! The view on the balcony was our favorite part and we loved being able to easily walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. There isn’t much sandy, swim able beach on this part of Kona, so if that’s what you’re looking for I’d look elsewhere. But there is a nice little beach within walking distance that is great to lay out and get your feet wet. The pool is also a great option right next to the ocean!

Excellent location, well-appointed and clean condo. Ample supplies, kitchen appliances, gadgets and extra towels.
Mattress topper is not good. Sheets constantly pulled up, topper travels. Furnishings and decor in bedroom and living room are dated. Shower is open concept and hard to keep water from splashing out onto floor.

I recently stayed at Hale Kona Kai with my husband and wanted to share our experience to prevent future renters from encountering what we did and prompt changes. We encountered a serious issue with bed bugs and ended up with bites all over our arms and legs. The rental company continues to deny the incident and told us we had an allergic reaction action, ultimately forcing us to go to our doctor once we arrived home only to have our doctor confirm we were both infested with bed bugs. This can be backed up with pictures of the bites on our bodies. Not only did we have to spend our last days on our vacation inspecting the couch, bed and washing all of our clothes, we were forced to book additional accommodations not knowing whether we would be spreading bed bugs in the process. Since our return home, we spent over a week washing and bagging clothing, steaming luggage, contacting our doctor(s), lawyers and trying to determine how we were allowed to stay in such unhygienic accommodations. The rental company/hosts continue to deny the bed bug nightmare we encountered. Unfortunately, after staying at Hale Kona Kai for 6+ years, we will never stay there again given the blatant disregard for hygiene and renter safety and will continue to pursue legal action as a result of our experience.

If you want a place to stay to relax and have access to so many wonderful adventures this is the place to stay. It is like staying in a top notch hotel with amazing views of the ocean. The condo is beautiful and filled with all the things you need to make your stay feel like your home away from home. The pictures don’t do it justice.

First of all, this is a 5 star condo. The location is perfect, and this particular condo meets all the requirements for 5 stars. We have stayed at Hale Kona Kai many times over the past 15 years. It was nice to see the AC had been upgraded.
We agree with the listing statement that the bedroom and living room are separated by sliding french doors instead of the traditional closed rooms. This allows the condo to open up into one large space. A great benefit to this layout is that the AC works much more effectively in keeping the whole condo cool.
I appreciate the accuracy of the listing, and the picture of the cruise ship out front. It shows they are not trying to hide anything. The cruise ship is only in port on Wednesdays, and it is far enough away that it doesn't even obstruct the magnificent view.
I wish they included a picture of the tidepools in front of the lanai. It brings endless entertainment watching the
river of yellow tang come in each morning and the eels, and turtles feeding throughout the day. A perfect place to have a slow morning or watch the beutiful sunsets.
The only thing I would have wanted included, is some plastic bags, saran wrap and foil. Everything else was provided including coffee. They also provided nice welcome packs of shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish soap etc..

What a lovely place for my stay in town. It was just as described with an amazing view, the convenience of a dedicated parking space, and a full kitchen. There’s a closet filled with chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. for outdoor activities and a lanai for enjoying those beautiful sunsets on the water. Although I didn’t end up using it, I appreciated the convenience of having a laundry room on the property. This unit was very clean, quiet, and pretty perfect for my visit. Thank you!

Great location, easy to get to everything at the Kona waterfront. Could sit on lanai and listen to surf while watching fish jump in the ocean. On Sunday they had an ocean swim with hundreds of swimmers right in front of the unit. Was awesome to watch.

The Accommodation was great, comfortable and we were able to check in slightly earlier as we had flown in earlier, the only setback was no garbage bag liners for the bin in the kitchen, but that's minor, the only weird thing is the parking allocations, they can be opposite ends of the building from the accommodation like ours was, ours was being used by tradesmen, so was able to use another space, but it was a little puzzling. The Lagoon next to to accommodation was great for spotting fish, and we did see a lone turtle in there too, plenty of the yellow fish you can see from the balcony as well as turtles on our second to last day. Good Food options Close and shopping. Will come back again in the future

We loved our stay at Hale Kona Kai. It's a small property that never felt crowded. The only noise was the sound of the ocean. The location couldn't be better. It's a short walk to our favorite restaurants (and coffee shop) in Kailua. It's also literally, right on the ocean. The ocean below was full of colorful fish, the view was expansive and the sunsets were incredible. The pool was newly refurbished and wonderful. It's not huge, but it was never crowded and offered a good amount of shade. It was sparkling clean and the perfect temperature.
The less-than-ideal things were that there was no in-room laundry. Each floor has a laundry room, it costs $4 to wash and dry a load. The other was that the office is mostly unattended (open a few hours a day on weekdays) and they can be hard to reach by phone. It didn't cause problems for us, but it might for some. They did give us a very thoughtful gift/momento as an anniversary present which we very much appreciated.
All in all, we loved our stay and would stay there again. The location, view, and pool were perfect.

Excellent location to downtown Kailua-Kona, 5 minute easy walk to restaurants and shops. We would absolutely go back.
