Located close to everything with plenty to do. And when we were still, we enjoyed every second of just relaxing on the lanai and watching the waves hit the tide pools. Everything we could have needed was provided and we had the MOST comfortable bed ever. The host was very friendly and communicative.

Nice, quiet condo complex just off the main road, but so easy to walk into town. The kitchen had everything you needed. Because of the small size of the living space, you need to eat out on the lanai but it is the perfect place to be. From this corner 4th floor you can watch the fish on the reef, the waves crashing on the rocks and best of all dazzling sunsets.

I highly recommend this condo. It was perfect for our getaway vacation. Waking up to the ocean right outside our balcony was truly amazing. Very quiet and clean. Definitely will be staying here for future vacations.

Location is perfect. Who doesn't love oceanfront and everything is in walking distance. Exactly what we wanted in Kona. Only negative I had was shower handle appears to need some repair. We were afraid it would fall off while we used it.

Very clean, great location for easy walk to restaurants/bars, spectacular sunset views. Well-stocked kitchen with good starter supplies. We would stay here again in Kailua-Kona.

Fantastic location!!! We spent every morning on the balcony watching the fish, turtles, and dolphins swim by! It's also an easy walk into town to do some shopping or grab a bite. The unit itself was great, all the emmities you need, especially the beach equipment! Would definitely stay here again!

The condo was just as described and pictured. Great convenient location. We really appreciated the extras- beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, maps and guide books, etc.

Location, view, everything wonderful. Had a pest problem that the property manager didn't resolve and that basically ruins the entire place in my opinion.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous VRBO. The condo had everything you could possibly want and was definitely in the best location of Kona! The view from the lanai is stunning and we enjoyed our daily sea aquarium. The amount of fish you can see is unbelievable. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in Kona! Owner responded quickly and timely. Thank you!

This was my first VRBO experience and it’s going to be hard to top! Amazing views, incredibly clean and great communication with the property manager. This place made me feel right at home and is furnished with everything you would need for a stay in Kona. The layout was well thought out and it was the small touches that impressed me the most. Binoculars, flashlights, beach chairs and towels, a well appointed kitchen and what can I say about the views! Thanks Tracy and team for a magical stay.

Excellent location, very close to Kona and many restaurants (1/4 mile). Lovely view of the ocean, sunsets, and rainbows! from the balcony, west facing and only 20’ off the rocky shore. Only 200’ from a surf beach (though reef break makes it a bit treacherous). Comfortable bed with nice linens, ample towels, well stocked kitchen with basic supplies (sugar, pepper, etc), coffee grinder, cooler and ice pack, beach chairs and beach towels, etc. Unfortunately, the lack of central air was a big drawback as the single ac unit in the bedroom was not adequate to cool the other rooms despite max cool setting with closed doors/windows and drawn shades at all times. The living room was sweltering. Bedroom was somewhat cool at night but humid—dehumidifier rapidly switched off as the water reservoir rapidly filled. I believe the ac issue occurred after we rented the unit and probably too late to change our plans, but it would have been a non-starter if we had other options. Hopefully they will fix it soon. If not, perhaps a second ac in the kitchen or living room would help.

My wife and I are devoted Big Island fans; much of the credit attributable to our love of Hale Kona Kai. We experienced a scare a couple of years ago, but a change/rescue/tremendous upgrade in management 'saved the day'.
If closeness to the ocean, never ending upgrades to individual units and public areas, easy stroll to cute little Kona ( especially our all-Islands favorite restaurant; Huggo's), plenty of chaise lounges at the ocean front pool, assigned parking and absence of rowdy neighbors appeal to you, we're pretty sure you will be extremely happy with your decision to give Hale Kona Kai a try.
Aloha, Dodge and Sharon

condo had the absolute most gorgeous view on 2 sides - got to see sunrise and sunset. unit is dated and smelled a bit musty but the staff was wonderful and responsive and brought a dehumidifier which helped. the property is very close to downtown Kona so easy to walk to meals, drinks and shopping (and more gorgeous sunsets). Our return flight was cancelled and we had to book one 6 hours earlier so we had to high-tail it out of there and couldn't clean up as we should have - but staff was very understanding and nice about it. Would highly recommend staying here.

The condo is very comfortable with all you need. Management very accommodating and available. We had trouble with tv remote and our manager spent several hours and trip to Spectrum to get a new remote. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, clean, well-appointed condo, oceanfront. Easy walk to restaurants, stores, etc. Quiet. Tracy was excellent to work with. It couldn't have been a better experience.

I would highly recommend this place for vacation. We stayed here for 10 days and was never in want/need for anything. The location is perfect; walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The jewel of this place is the lanai!!! The spectacular views and sounds certainly made it difficult to leave and we found ourselves rushing to get back to it. This place is outstanding and well worth booking. We are now ruined for other places...lol.

If only I could have coffee on that lanai every morning forever!
Oh, that view. Started every morning of our trip out there with fresh ground Hawaiian coffee. Well-stocked condo, including just about anything you might ever need in a kitchen, and beach chairs and umbrella for beach day. Great communication - I discovered that having all the fans, and the portable A/C, and the hair dryer, running at once was a bad idea, but they came over to flip the circuit breaker in minutes. Loved being able to walk mere minutes down Ali'i Drive for shopping and food. Very happy with our stay!

Perfect place to stay in Kona
The place was clean, well decorated, had amazing views, great location, and Tracy was an amazing host and very responsive to queries. I would stay here again next time I am in Kona. The place is just a 5 min walk to downtown bars and restaurants, though it’s hard to even want to leave the balcony - I could have spent all day up there just watching the waves and fish!

Loved the location, location, location. If you want a truly restful and enjoyable look at lava meets the sea, with accompanying sunrises and sunsets, you cannot do better than this condo and this room

Better than advertised. Loved every minute of it

Super views, generous lanai, comfortable living area, and very quiet.
Great value considering the outstanding views and the ocean at your feet. Conveniently close to the waterfront services. The only issue was the unit was advertised as having central AC, but it was not working so a portable unit was placed in the bedroom. The property owner offered a 10% discount as a result.

Very Good
Original reservation was made with the previous management company. The transfer and subsequent management and contact during our stay was seamless and perfect! Hale Kona Kai is a great spot and so convenient! Again? You bet!

Excellent go for it!
I loved the layout and features of this condo it is really perfect for 1or 2 people. Furnished simply but functional and comfortable. Deck is over the breaking surf and can see small yellow fish going back and forth in the swell of the surf. To the north is Royal Kona Resort with a wonderful open bar/restaurant on the sea and beautiful gardens. Nice place to sit and take in the surroundings. To the south short walk to a small uncrowded beach complete with palm trees for sun swim and snorkeling. Do need water shoes bottom a mix of white sand and lava rocks. I would definitely go back. But perhaps I shouldn’t give such a good review, it may never be available…

401 is in great shape and well equipped. The Lanai is spectacular and with great views.
the building itself is a bit worn, with worn/dirty carpets. Common clothes washer (and requiring quarters) is a nuisance.
