What an Absolutely Amazing place to stay! The view itself is the best there is, you get the most amazing sunsets. The best part is that you are within walking distance of some of the best restaurants around. The property is well furnished and has everything you will need while you are there, including air fryer and blender. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, in many rentals it is either too soft or hard as rock. What a wonderful place to stay!

Stunning views from every room

This is a beautiful little condo that is very charming. It was clean and the check in/out process is easy. The views are breathtaking and relaxing. The property management was quick to respond when we had a couple issues with the building. The place has a smell to it (we had read from prior reviews too) but it helps to open the slider and window to air it out. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time as always enjoyed the location. A special thank you to Tina for her prompt response for our request of TP and tissue and the loan of her mother's beautiful tray. See you on our next trip and Happy Holidays to you.

Hale Kona Kai

The Hale Kona Kai is an awesome condo close to the Kailua Kona village yet very quiet. It is right on the ocean so you can watch the moods of the tropical Pacific from your lanai including dolphins, turtles and whales in season. Tracy and Taina from Kona Beach Properties are great property managers and go out of their way to ensure that you enjoy your visit.

We really enjoyed the stay (~10 days) and of course loved the beautiful view. Will be returning for sure. Only suggestion would be to install a dollar bill coin change machine on the 1st floor to accommodate the washer/drying machines.

Better Than Ever

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.

Simply Stunning

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.

Wonderful!

Great unit. Had been remodeled from the last time we stayed and was even better. Privacy, views, you don't hear other people because the sound of the waves blocks them out. Clean, comfortable and well organized. The assigned parking space was difficult--we had to return our original car to the airport and get something smaller...and still were unable to exit our space one morning. Management was great when I contacted them--they found an assigned space that would not be used and let us move the car to it.

Great Location - Almost Perfect

Amazing location above the water, super close to downtown, had all the amenities we needed. A/C wasn't working but it wasn't an issue with the cross wind. The condo does has a musky smell, kept all the windows/doors open the entire time, all belongings needed a thorough cleanse when returning home.

Good to be back after so long

The remod on this unit was great, but the low level toilet and scuzzy tub are a real drawback. We all know the a/c situation is ridiculous, and we feel lucky we caught a cooler week. Hope that can resolve soon. Tracy's team and maintenance do a great job and as always just sitting and watching the waves heals my soul. Thanks.

Solid Value Ocean Front Condo

The ocean front wrap around balcony is hands down the best part of this unit. It is where we spent much our stay and ate many of our meals. The unit itself is clean but is pretty dated. There is too much furniture for the size of unit and too many dishes and pots and pans in the kitchen for a vacation rental. Unfortunate that the central air has been out for a few months, but the bedroom unit and a few fans work to cool the unit for sleeping. All in all, a solid value right on the water, an easy walk to the Kailua village.

Delightful Spot

Unit 412 is a top floor corner condo with a wrap around spacious lanai offering spectacular views. It has been extensively updated with new state of the art appliances and new furnishings along with fresh paint throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with every conceivable utensil a chef would need to turn out gourmet cuisine. All of the units in the complex, including 412, have relatively small rooms. They are comfortable for a couple but with three or more guests, it could get cramped. The rental agency, Kona Beach Properties, was very responsive to a few questions /requests I had for them.

Excellent View

Great view, good location close to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed sunsets on the lanai, along with watching the fish in the surf directly below the balcony. Condo is mostly renovated, but has dated cabinets in kitchen and older bathroom. There was a distinct odor when we arrived, so we bought some air fresheners to spray. Exterior hallway carpet had been removed before we checked in. Very nice workers, but made for a bit of a mess. The odor and the bathroom were the biggest detractants for this unit.

We loved the view from this room. I was disappointed that the air conditioner was out, but was promised a portable AC unit which never was installed while we were there. There were extra box fans, but they didn't help too much. Because we were out of the condo most of the day, it wasn't too bad when we returned. The bedroom trash can was never checked and emptied before we got there. The room needs a deep cleaning. We will book again with this condo complex but will definitely request a renovated condo next time.

It all worked out.

The initial condo, 412, had no functioning AC, and was in pretty rough shape. Kitchen window was completely broken and the property was run down. Thus the 3 stars on condition. After the first night we counldn't handle the AC situation but the property manager moved us to a condo unit at Kona Reef (A24) that was next door.. It was way better, with functioning AC. The pool was under construction which we knew, we originally booked that condo until the pool construction. Tracy the property manager worked well with us, and it all worked out in the end.

Unit 412

The unit was delightful! I found it very clean, neat, and ready for a relaxing stay. I certainly enjoyed my time, and to paraphrase Arnold, "I'll be back!" Now, your seaward side stairs need immediate attention! NOW! I've talked with Craig, your building super, about the lack of non-skid tape on the very slick stairs in that section. Get some tape and install it NOW! I slipped and fell down the section between 2 1/2 and 2, as witnessed by the nice lady in 213. I was not seriously hurt, but someone not as adroit as me will break some bones and sue you. The stairs in front are taped for exactly this reason. Tape the stairs on the sea side NOW!

Love our stay there, But...

We love our stay in room 412, but this time we were a little disappointed. We were surprised to see that the main door hadn't been replaced yet. There is a big crack in it that was there the last time we were there a year ago. But we understand a new door cost money, it's just that it would be very easy to break into it because of its damage. But our main concern, was that we found the floors really dirty. We always take our shoes off when we enter, and after just walking around the place unpacking, our feet were black with dirt. At first, we thought maybe our feet got dirty from our shoes, we weren't sure how that could happen. We washed them before we got into bed then after walking around the next morning, we had to wash them again before we put our shoes on. WE took paper towels and washed the floor. Which is something we shouldn't have to do, especially when we pay a cleaning deposit. We have stayed in room 412 many times, and have never complained, but this time I thought you should know about the floors. We still love the room and hope this won't happen the next time we are there. Becky and Dave Schmit
