We had a wonderful stay at the Tipsy Turtle! This was our first time visiting the Big Island and this condo was perfect! It’s in a great location to drive to other areas of the island, and a short walk into town for dinner and shopping. The condo had everything we needed and more. The hosts left us a welcome gift with water, snacks, coffee and fruit. They even left quarters and soap for a load of laundry. All of which we thought was very thoughtful. The view from the lanai was perfect for morning coffee and cocktails in the evening. Being able to see fish from the lanai and hearing the waves while falling asleep was awesome. We visited Volcanoes National Park, went snorkeling, spent time at the beach, kayaked in the ocean and went for a night snorkel with Manta Rays. Coming back to this condo after our adventures left us feeling relaxed and happy. Thank you!

This was our 4th stay at Hale Kona Kai but our first stay in this unit and it was by far our favorite! They thought of every thing you could possibly need to have available. They even left fresh fruit, coffee, candy and change for the laundry room if needed. The decor is so fun and the balcony was our favorite place to hang out and watch the sunset. The bed was comfortable and the A/C and celing fans kept the place nice and cool. We will be back for sure!

It was a wonderful place to celebrate turning 60. It was super clean and had every kitchen appliance known to man. The extra beach stuff and beach bag and backpack were oboe and beyond. I would definitely stay here again.

The condo is wonderful, well cared for and very comfortable. January weather is always a gamble and the storms kept the water activities to a minimum, but the location and comfort of the condo made up for it. The surf was high but the whales were close. The spinner dolphins danced daily, the turtles came when they could and the eels were active in the pools. All from the lanai. Well stocked kitchen and extremely nice welcome basket. So nice!

What a gem! Oceanfront condo with amazing views. I could have sat on the lanai all day watching the turtles come in & out and all the colorful fish that were coming in with the waves! Condo was very clean and organized. Everything you needed in the kitchen and more. All the amenities you can think of were provided. Even a bandaid when I needed one. Great location and walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Welcoming treats were a pleasant surprise! The hosts were easy to communicate with. Check in and out was an easy process. I highly recommend staying here. I know I will again!

Where to begin...from the moment you step into the condo, not only does the view take your breath away but the warm welcome gift of fruits and goodies as well as the beautiful style of decor is so welcoming. The condo was spotless and if you so desire, you could cook to your heart's content as there are all sorts of gadgets including a bread machine, all in matching teal color! The hosts' communication was very good via VRBO website or by text. All in all, a wonderful and relaxing place to kick back and relax. Thank you to our hosts', Steven & Jenni

What a fantastic property! This was our first year without our adult children for Thanksgiving and our first extended stay on the “Big Island”! It was a much needed rest from our crazy worlds. We loved the Lāna’i in the mornings and evenings (look for all the fish & turtles), the walking distance to downtown (we never ate at the same place twice), and the central location to either explore north or south. We even got to see Kilauea active lava flow before episode 37.

Bottom line up front: for 2 people, we'd strongly consider staying here, again. The ocean view was fantastic and the location very good to shops and such. The central AC in this unit didn't work, but they provided two portable units that were adequate. The bathroom door is a bit hard to close if you are fairly large in size. The host provided a very nice starter kit of fruits and coffee, giving you some time to plan your days. Did I mention the view was fantastic?

Excellent experience! The other reviews were very accurate. The Lees have done a great job creating a clean, welcoming, lovely oceanfront condo in Kona. There are extra amenities you cannot get at a resort like plenty of towels, beach equipment, great coffee, ice maker and puzzles and games. The lanai was one of favorite places to hang out during our trip. We felt safe and well taken care of. Thank you both!! We are already looking forward to coming back and staying again!
We saw this turtle immediately upon arriving, and saw many more during our stay.
There were hundreds of fish, especially tang, black trigger, parrot, and moorish idol, right from the balcony. Amazing!
Beautiful view we did not want to leave,
