The views were amazing. The location was very good. Close to shopping and dinning. We walked to dinner several times. Condo could use a little updating and repair but overall we would return.

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.

Very nice rental. The view was amazing. We had breakfast on the balcony every morning. Only negative item was a scaffolding set up on the units next door.

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

We stayed here for our honeymoon and enjoyed the property very much. It was a close walk to town and the pier and the view was stunning in the morning and at night. We will miss this place very much and remember this honeymoon for a life time. Thank you for making this memorable trip!

The view and location were very nice and as depicted, however security of the door security was poor, lock was falling off., the noise from construction was much greater than then indicated by ad, several days of jack hammering concrete on the room adjacent isn't acceptable, nether is the lack of running water during construction, basically the pool was off limits do to the construction, a consistent parade of workers walking by my girlfriend at the pool learning meant 20 minutes of pool time during a seven day stay.. Additionally, the credit received I do not feel was enough to compensate for the situation.

There was an issue with the condo that we booked, AC didn't work, so we contacted Casago the day we arrived, and they almost immediately had us in another unit, that was even better, for the few days needed to get our unit up to par. They were quick to respond to questions and any problems we may have had as well. I can't say enough good things about Casago. The unit itself definitely needs a facelift; it's looking worn. It's a small condo, so the furniture was too big and there were too many pieces in the living area, making it feel very cramped with a lot of toe stubbing. Having carpet in the bedroom wasn't optimal, but we got used to it. The view is great, but you are right above the pool so the noise can be a bit much while out on the lanai during the day. The location is incredible, and we were able to watch the 4th fireworks being set off on the water at Kailua after a very short walk. We did have concerns that their Wi-Fi may have been hacked, or something, since our laptops started having problems while using the Wi-Fi, but stopped when we turned the Wi-Fi off. Overall, the unit is fine, but Casago was amazing. We may come back to Hale Kona Kai, but we will most assuredly book our next unit with Casago.

The apartment is in a great location, right by the sea. We will certainly never forget this view.
The apartment was ok. But the bed was terrible with the foam. And we had uninvited guests in the form of small creepy crawlies like cockroaches. Most of them in the kitchen which was very unapetizing.
Otherwise everything was fine.

We got this condo because the original condo we booked was not available due to construction issues. We were concerned it would not be as good but were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The bed was a tiny bit uncomfortable but otherwise the place was great! It looked directly over the ocean and pool, very good view. I liked that they had washing machines on each floor, but finding quarters to run them was very difficult! Overall great place to stay and I’d go here again.

We booked this property for the incredible views and the location! Everything was just as described!
Upon arrival the host had left us with a sweet note for our anniversary and some sweet welcome gifts. The property was comparable to the pictures shared.
However, the three nights we were there construction crews were outside our balcony and working in the two rooms next to us as early as 8 am. I reached out to the host and was told to reach out to the property manager who was already aware.
Aside from this issue, if the property were to receive some updating we would definitely consider staying here again not just for the location but the views! It literally is situated over the rocks and the crashing of the ocean waves so loud you can hear them even with the doors shut and A/C on! Awesome!

Rental (condo) was as advertised & depicted. Well appointed. Comfortable. Well equipped. Had to relocate to different unit several days into stay to allow access for repair/maintenance to lanai. Back pain kept me from moving baggage so PrM team (Tracy & Taina) kindly moved baggage to another unit which was even better than the 1st. Overall good experience.

We came to Kona to visit our daughter who is on the University of the Nations campus. The location of this condo was great for walking everywhere! So many extras were available for us to use such as beach towels, beach umbrella and an adorable little yellow cooler, which we put to use. Thank you! The kitchen has absolutely everything you need as we had several students over for dinner one evening. Beautiful sunsets and glorious views right off the deck. Perfect!

The location was wonderful, walking distance to great restaurants and entertainment. The view was a beautiful view of the waves crashing on rocks and open sea.
The condo furnishings are a bit dated, but the refurbished kitchen appliances and flooring are nice. Only problem we had is that the kitchen sink’s water faucet pressure would fade down to nothing at times and since the laundry room is next door, someone got in after hours and the machines were loud one night (maybe overloaded and thumping like off balance). Never did see anyone in the condo’s office.
But overall, worth it.
