The location is convenient to shopping and restaurants including Quinns Almost By the Sea which is a huge Green Bay Packers bar. The building is older but parking is free, there is a gas grill on the property, the kitchen had everything we needed, and you canโ€™t beat the views.

A breakfast nook that is almost right on top of the ocean. Perfect place to watch the beautiful sunsets. The unit included two Tommy Bahama chairs, which came in quite handy. They included a coffee maker and enough coffee for about 3 mornings - Thanks! Everything in Hawaii is damp due to the extreme humidity. Things also get sandy. For that reason, don't expect the same level of upkeep as the Hilton or Marriott, but overall the unit was clean. You don't go to Kona to sit inside anyway. ##### Scott L.

We spent lots of relaxing time on the porch overlooking the bay looking at sealife (fish, crabs, dolphins, a couple whales blowing and surfacing once, and a sea turtle right there below the condo porch. Condo complex quiet and peaceful with only sound of ocean to lull you to sleep at night A few minor improvement suggestions: microwave barely functional need combo to shed for trash disposal (key provided won't work on combo lock on shed) barely enough toilet paper and dishwasher detergent to get throught the week ##### Steve S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anita D. 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Location is the best This particular unit truly needs updating. This is our third year staying at Hale Kona Kai, and we were disappointed. There was only the couch in the living room, and we were told the chair had broken and it hadnโ€™t been replaced. There was one very dim light in the living room, so reading in the evening was out. A screen was missing off one of the bedroom windows. We reported the fridge leaking the day after we arrived. It wasnโ€™t fixed for the rest of our stay-9 more days.on the plus side, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the lanai furniture was high for ocean views, and when we asked that the barbecue be cleaned, it was done that day. The location canโ€™t be beat for walking into town. We are returning next year, but in a different unit. ##### Anita D. Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amber L. 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Views 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! ##### Amber L.

We did not use the pool but heard sounds of others enjoying it. The property is in a very good location and walkable to many sights, shopping and restaurants on Ali'i Drive. And the view...amazing! However, there were numerous concerns I had regarding the cleanliness of the unit. Also, the afternoon sun, while beautiful, raised the afternoon and early evening temperature in the unit such that the room AC units were struggling to maintain the coolness. The stability and venting to the outside was inadequate and using the central air gave me pause due to the cleanliness. If issues were corrected (I have suggestions) I would definitely rate this property much higher and consider staying on my next visit. ##### Hannah A.

What I like best about our visits to Hawaii is going out onto the lanai an hour and a half before sunrise, sitting in the dark with a pair of binoculars, drinking coffee, and watching the world gradually get light. I see the moon laying a shimmering strip of silver across the blue-black sea; lights from planes, ferries, and an occasional cruise ship; even tiny lights on outrigger canoes; I hear the big waves exploding against the rocks below. Once the sun comes up, I sight an occasional humpback whale. And I remember why I'm there. Fifty extra degrees of Fahrenheit helps, too. For all this, there is no place better than Hale Kona Kai. We had a little trouble at the start: couldn't open the lock box to get our key. However, after we made a phone call, Ryan the property manager and handyman rushed right over and extracted our keys for us. The next day he re-attached some wires in the back of the TV, so we could watch in the living room as well as the bedroom. He was very friendly as well as knowledgeable and efficient. All in all, we had a wonderful week in Kona. ##### Jim H.
