The condo unit was fine and worked out well for us. We had the one night of some water damage on the floor after a downpour rain but got it cleaned up. We couldn't find the source.

You get a beautiful view of the ocean both to the west and north. Perfect for a one bedroom plus. Within walking distance of almost every thing.

Very nice with exceptional view. We had a short stay, but the condo has a great wraparound lanai to enjoy mornings and evenings. Kitchen is well appointed for cooking and had basic amenities (salt, pepper, oil), and the property provides cleaning products for the kitchen and laundry and bathing. A real plus. Very nice setup !

This unit is walking distance to downtown Kona which is great because there is now a charge for parking in town. Although the lanai is large and partially oceanfront, the view from the master bedroom is of the hotel next door which is under construction. It was not loud or a problem, but we chose a unit with a smaller lanai with an ocean view for our next visit.

Perfect location, and couldn't be closer to the ocean.

We enjoyed our stay, all the basics were provided and plenty of towels. Seems prior guests also left snorkeling gear if needed. The first morning there, the seas were so rough a wave soaked us and left a salty taste in our coffee.

You don't get any better ocean view, breeze, and sound of the waves crashing than this. The condo was fully equipped with everything you'd need, but there's just a lot of clutter inside, which made it feel not quite as peaceful for me. That being said, I like very minimal décor so others may think it's perfectly Hawaiian. Tracy was really easy to work with and very accommodating and helpful with my special requests.

I really loved this rental! It was soooo relaxing, sitting out on the balcony, enjoying the view. A great place to stay! Just a note - some people might want to know for safety - the balcony door does not lock because of the air conditioning panel. I felt a little weary about this and the property manager did not respond to the video I sent. Great parking, it has an elevator to get to 2nd floor, well stocked, comfortable couch, bed, etc. Would stay here again!

My initial thoughts were that the property was much smaller than the photographs showed. However, after getting settled in, we really enjoyed everything about 213. There was a little noise from next-door, where the Royal Kona resort is being renovated. But this has a little effect on our enjoyment of the lanai. We had some trouble figuring out the television channels at first(!) Location is first rate. Easy walking distance to anything you want along Ali’i Drive. All in all, very enjoyable.

Great view, great location, well stocked condo, good management company

The location of the condo to the heartbeat of Kona was spot on. Restaurants, shops, historical sites, and entertainment were minutes away from Hale Kona Kai. The furnishings of the condo were beautiful and the photos accurate and representative of the actual decor. The sunset views from the rap around lanai were awesome. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Absolutely amazing stay! Coffee on the balcony is amazing and would definitely come back.

My husband and I booked a late trip to go enjoy our wedding anniversary & get some dives in. We enjoyed: Location is perfect, within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, etc. View is lovely looking out over the ocean & listening to the waves crash right outside your lanai. The a/c was fixed & worked great. The kitchen had everything needed, was stocked & worked well for us. There were beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels, etc. We didn’t enjoy: Place was small & only surface clean. Things were wiped down, vacuumed, mopped, etc. But there was so much caked on (moist) dust on everything that I spent the first 1/2 day cleaning everything so I could be comfortable. For example: I threw my pillow down after fluffing it & a cloud of clumpy dust blew up everywhere. On further inspection the entire headboard (wood) was covered in that gross wet clumpy dust. I went to plug in my phone charger & the wood on the side tables was the same. I put all the fake plants outside because the wet dust was so thick on them. The lamps, backs of the tv, all the a/c vents & return were thick with dust. I’m not talking about a months worth of dust. I’m talking thick, moist, layers of neglectful dust. Sheets & towels are TIRED & need replacements. Construction is going on at the Royal Kona & our building had a new security system installed during our stay. No naps for us, just constant drilling. Place is outdated & needs love. Please talk to your cleaners to do a more thorough job.

Condo was located right on the ocean as advertised. We really liked the view from the patio. We seldom used our rental car because the condo was so close to town. We walked to local restaurants and stores. Very convenient.

We had a wonderful time at the Hale Kona Kai. The condo was clean and well-equipped. It could use a little updating, but it had everything we needed. The location could not be beat. The frogs, however, were very loud all night long. Nothing you all can do about that but they were a distraction from the lovely nighttime surf. All and all it was a great place and I would stay there again for sure. Thank you.

The place is within walking distance of everything you need. Restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment. The place was very clean and well stocked with dishes, pots and pans to cook with, beach equipment and beach towels. The lani is a wrap around which was nice. There is AC in the central area but we didn't need it, the ceiling fan and the ocean breeze were enough. In the bedroom was a small AC unit which made it very comfortable to sleep in. I would make one suggestion because there is a lagoon and trees right next to the unit there were the sounds of birds and frogs all night long. If you are sensitive to noise, I would suggest bringing earplugs. The AC unit in the bedroom did act as a white noise fan, but I was sensitive to the wildlife sounds. All in all, it was a great unit.

The property is well maintained, clean and neat. They provived everything needed for a nice stay. Spectacular view, great wrap around balcony, you will want to spend some time there.

Nice but dated condo with a fantastic oceanfront view. Had everything we needed for the stay. AC was broken during our stay but there was a floor AC in the bedroom so wasn't too bad. Walking distance to a some nice bars and restaurants and an ABC store. No close beach, had to travel for that. No amenities other than the pool. Small bathroom and shower but was sufficient. Overall a decent place to say if you don't want a resort.

The corner lanai was the highlight here. Such beautiful views. Condo was very clean and well equipped .

One of the best settings and views on the island. This condo is well equipped, has fantastic access to Kona’s restaurants (roughly 5 minute walk), and it is a relatively quiet neighborhood. The overall setup is geared more towards empty nesters as the pool is small and it’s quite a distance to nice sandy beaches for children.

Town is an easy walking distance with many restaurants 5 mins away. Also, you would have to be in a boat to get closer to the water!!! Beautiful view! Service/check in/out, responsiveness all great. Place was immaculate with a well-stocked kitchen. The only not positive comment is the interiors are dated.

I've stayed in a number of units at Hale Kona Kai in recent years, but my most recent stay in #213 was the best. Direct ocean front views and a wrap around lanai overlooking the wedding venue of the adjacent Royal Kona Surf make for memorable vistas. The unit is thoroughly upgraded and appointed. There's new tile flooring throughout including the bathroom shower stall. I'd recommend the unit enthusiastically. The agents who represent the owner are on site and are immediately available to assist with any detail.

Beautifully kept and updated-- the new walk-in shower is gorgeous. Proximity to waves on rocks is the best. While half of it is facing the neighboring resort this was not a problem-- luaus were early and quiet.

Such a relaxing time. Beautiful view and so comfortable. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

The corner view unit was a wonderful way to start your mornings on Kona. The pool was also a fun addition after the day in the sun. We will recommend!

Check in was very easy, condo had everything stocked that was needed and view was amazing. Definitely would stay here again.

Watching sunset and the moon set into the ocean was amazing, you could almost touch the ocean from the lanai! Well appointed kitchen, comfy furniture, very comfy king bed with very nice linens! Cable TV and fast internet. Super nice bathroom with walk in shower. Kona Beach Property folks were very welcoming and helpful, loved the welcome bag with coffee, water and a snack, thank you! Easy check in and check out, I will return to Hale Kona Kai 213.

The pictures say it all. Directly on ocean, has everything you need for your stay. Only thing could have been better was if the air conditioning was working. They have a portable one in the bedroom but it was still humid. Not bad in the mornings but by early evening when the sun is setting it gets warm. Beautiful sunsets though. Great lanai!

Great location. Views from balcony are hard to beat. Nice layout and well kept.

I would highly recommend this unit!!! Very beautiful and awesome lanai !

Awesome views, great place! Would definitely stay again! Very convenient to old Kona town.

We had a few hiccups, and the lack of air conditioning was disappointing because, instead of falling asleep to the sound of the waves, we were assaulted with the sound of a jet engine coming from the portable a/c. Room was well,supplied and comfortable. Great location for walking to restaurants, shops, etc.
