Kealia Vacations from $820

We've been to the Big Island several times and have stayed at the Kona Reef all but on 2 trips. 2 years ago pipes ended busting in several units and although they ended up having to upgrade us to another condo that was a bit of a challenge with management as he was making it our responsibility to find else where to stay. Still giving them the benefit of a doubt we booked again this year and the condo we got was very outdated and rundown, stained fabric diningroom chairs, large rust spots on side of the refrigerator, found hair and sand on sheets, smelly place and very noisy. Not a pleasant or comfortable feeling place to stay. It's obvious they are doing the the minimal to keep up with maintenance for what they are charging. We love the Big Island and use to enjoy staying at the Kona Reef, but after our experience these past couple trips, we decided it was our last time that we'll be staying there. It's unfortunate that they are letting the place to go downhill. We brought it all to their attention, but they had the attitude that they didn't care.

Great location, quiet. Unit pretty dark and very dated looking. Had all the amenities I needed.

Our stay at Gingerhill Farm in Hawaii was a truly unique experience and the perfect retreat. If you're looking for something comfortable and memorable outside of the traditional resort stay, this is it. The outdoor shower and open-air kitchen were absolute highlights—they made us feel immersed in the beautiful surroundings while still having everything we needed. The property is filled with lush gardens, blooming ginger, and vibrant tropical plants that create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We also loved spotting the friendly geckos throughout the property, which added to the authentic island experience. A wonderful bonus was discovering the beautiful artwork by Mayumi Oda displayed throughout the property. Her vibrant, nature-inspired prints complemented the peaceful setting perfectly and added another layer of inspiration to our stay. If you appreciate nature, tranquility, and a one-of-a-kind place to stay, Gingerhill Farm is a wonderful choice!
