After finding the tucked in complex. Dark entrance and name not adequatey lite, sign.
We are handicaped and one uses a cane to get around. The wagon came in very handy to get luggage and necessitys up to the unit.
The unit 302 was clean but meldewed smell

First impressions the condo smelled like your grandmothers house, old and stale need to buy an air freshener
The shower head was tied up with a shoestring
Bedroom TV was broken
Trash can was full of trash
Ceiling was cracked and flaking

It was perfect for our week stay, birthday week for my boyfriend!!! It had a great view.
The only thing I would say is it had a mildew smell when you first came in, but once the windows were opened and AC was running it wasn’t as bad. The shower was older and the doors did not slide on the track smoothly, but the water pressure and hot water was AMAZING!!! Overall a fantastic stay for the price!!!

Great location and view! Short and easy walk to shops and restaurants. The condo was comfortable, clean and kitchen was well stocked with any items you may need during your stay.

We love this complex as it makes Kailua town totally walkable. While this unit is comparable to others, having the wrap around lanai so beautifully furnished had us sitting out there all day--morning coffee, conversations, reading, and watching the fabulous sunsets!

The location is fantastic. A breakfast nook that is almost right on top of the ocean. Perfect place to watch the beautiful sunsets. The unit included two Tommy Bahama chairs, which came in quite handy. They included a coffee maker and enough coffee for about 3 mornings - Thanks!
Everything in Hawaii is damp due to the extreme humidity. Things also get sandy. For that reason, don't expect the same level of upkeep as the Hilton or Marriott, but overall the unit was clean. You don't go to Kona to sit inside anyway.

My husband and I booked this stay for our babymoon. We've all had disappointing stays that oversell - this isn't one! The view was beautiful, the pool was perfect, spotting fish and sea turtles from the deck. The walk to restaurants, coffee and shops was so close, as was a local beach and surf spot Falling asleep to the waves was a dream. Thank you for sharing your space with us!!

Very clean and was exactly as pictured. Lots of thoughtful touches, beach towels and chairs, coffee and some condiments for our stay. We would absolutely recommend to anyone but for one thing, the comfort of the king bed. It had a much too soft topper on it and made it difficult to sleep at night for my husband and myself. If the mattress was upgraded we would definitely give it a 5 star.

It was a great vacation, staying at Hale Kona Kai worked out perfectly. Great location, clean and comfortable. Spent most of the time on the deck enjoying the breeze and sounds of the ocean surf. Many thanks to Tracy for all her help. Tracy does a great job as manager, always available, helpful, and very pleasant.

The property is clean and very well kitted out for a vacation stay. The lounge was very comfortable and the kitchen is modern and well equipped. The beach chairs, beach umbrella and cooler were a welcome surprise. The property is in a great location for bars and restaurants and other facilities. We would highly recommend this property.

If you are looking for a true "oceanfront" condo with a wrap around Lanai, that has a full kitchen, separate bedroom, walk-in shower, and everything you would need to enjoy your stay... this is it! The waves crash DIRECTLY below your Lanai!! Full 180 degree panoramic views from the Southern coastline to the Pier.... There is none better! Thank you Dan And Valerie, we will be back!

We love this property so much! If you like the sound of crashing waves and endless ocean vistas, this is the place. We found it hard to leave our balcony because of the gorgeous views. On a more practical note, the unit is newly updated and well appointed with all the desired amenities. The AC worked great even though we only needed it a few times during our stay. The property manager was very responsive when we had a question about the microwave. My only suggestion would be to consider a mattress upgrade. We slept fine but the mattress is a bit bouncy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can hardly wait to come back.

This property lived up to it's advertisement on VRBO. The setting right next to the ocean provided the relaxing and soothing sounds and scenes hoped for and then some. The ac units worked well and met our expectations. The master bed was very comfortable and the sofa bed was as good as can be expected from a sofa bed. The location was perfect to attend the Luau next door. Parkibg provided.

This is the second time we have stayed in this complex, and we will keep coming back!
Condo 205 was very clean, had everything we needed and, most importantly, the view!
Checkin was simple, everything was comfortable and the one issue we had was quickly communicated about!
Thank you again for another wonderful stay!

This is a gem. We will be back. Clean, well maintained, extremely well decorated unit. Everything provided- even complimentary Kona coffee. Beach towels, chairs, and cooler provided. They had boogie boards, but we did not use. Very comfortable king bed with high quality linens. Oceanfront with views of. Reef and beautiful fish. Walk to Honi beach.

This is a great, 4th floor unit at Hale Kona Kai. You feel like you're on the prow of a ship- the sea is right there. We enjoyed watching the yellow tang and honu bob in the surf below as we sipped our morning cuppa on the lanai. The unit itself was clean and had most everything we needed. The local property manager was also a great help when the hubs accidentally locked the keys in the unit. And- we love the location, an easy 5 min walk to the shops and restaurants in town.

The condo, the property manager and the bed were great. The view was breathtaking and the sound of the surf was amazing. Had some issues but they were taken care of. It had an elevator which was a must but the pool was down due to being updated so that was disappointing. Would stay again.

The perfect getaway for our anniversary trip! The condo was decorated to ensure a calm relaxing beach vibe. The bed was super comfortable, there were beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards supplied. We entered to Hawaiian music playing and a sweet note from Steve and Jenni. The lanai was wonderful to hear the waves and watch fish and turtles! And the location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping! Highly recommended and would stay here again!!!

This hidden gem location in Kona has the best water view, condo conveniences, and easy walking distance to Kona Village area for shopping, restaurants and activities. It is not a new property but the unit is clean, well kept, the kitchen has all the amenities you would need, and the best balcony location of the complex. You literally are enjoying the view, sound of the ocean and gorgeous sunsets on the balcony because this unit sits right at the shoreline. The balcony is a nice size and somewhat private from most of the complex because of its location on the property. This unit also had a king sized bed which was a plus for us. There is a nice pool which was being refinished while we stayed and laundry facilities on each floor of the complex which was a great convenience since we stayed a week at this location. Check in was super easy and the communication was efficient, thorough and detailed prior to and actually during our stay. We will be staying here again! This unit is a hidden gem for value and location.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Condo was perfect and views from our lanai were amazing ! Right below our lanai we could see yellow tangs, an aqua fish, and other tropical fish … oh yeah a sea turtle came up and was basking on the rocks!!!
Unbelievable!!!

The property was as expected and a good value for the price. The pans were newer, plenty of silverware, plastic storage containers, etc. The foldout bed was acceptable. I could not have slept on it, but my teenage son was happy with it. The King size bed in the bedroom was also acceptable.
If we were returning to Kona, I'd stay in the same unit without hesitation.

This property is situated literally right off the oceanfront as waves hit the shore below the lanai. The location is within walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants, but would advise renting a car to enjoy other eateries in the area. The condo has air conditioning which was appreciated although the summer temperatures weren't oppressive. The living area including sofa, table with two chairs, and a kitchen with the essentials was fine to meet our needs, and the separate bedroom with comfortable king bed was nice. Picture window in the bedroom also overlooks the ocean. The bathroom is small, but adequate. The condo wifi wasn't working well, but we made-do without it. I was able to access the room key through the lockbox with code when we arrived, but trying to place it back into the lockbox when we departed was a struggle, so we left the key in the condo and left a message with the property manager. Overall, we had a very relaxing, pleasant stay in Kailua-Kona. This property isn't the lap of luxury, but does make for a very comfortable stay in Kona and the location can't be beat - Mahalo!

The condo unit was pretty much what the pictures showed. The unit was nicely laid out and had most of the amenities that you would need for your stay. The building is older and the toilet was not working as well. We called the property manager and they got someone in right away to look at it. The convenient location to the tourist attractions was great! When I was looking for a place to stay I very specifically wanted a pool to be able to use. The complex had the pool closed during our stay and this was a really big letdown. Had I known this at the time of booking, I would not have booked this location. The unit worked for our needs but the lack of amenities promised was a let down.

We had a great stay! While enjoying early coffee on the lanai the view(3rd floor #305) contained an expansive view of waves, surfers, canoes rowing and a cruise ship anchored quite a ways straight out on one day. Several of our favorite restaurants just a very short walk away. We were a little put off because the pool closed shortly into our stay for lanai restorations on another wing of the property. The staff on site were kind and accommodating.The owners even left us a nice anniversary gift. Would definitely stay again

Ok best advise, stay in this condo. Plain on cooking a few meals! The views while you cook are amazing. Then when you can eat you meal on the balcony enjoying a great sunrise or a stellar sunset. Walking distance from everything you need. ( Safeway is 7 minute drive in traffic)Ha I don’t wanna spoil much, I’d rather you be surprised in a great way. So just stay here
