Great view from the balcony and plenty of basic necessities stocked in the kitchen. Extra beach gear at the condo was a plus so we didn’t have to bring our own. This was our second stay here and love being able to walk to town.

This condo and management are great. They are updating the A/C and notified us they put portable units in each condo bedroom while working on the ac which I appreciated during sleep. They still were waiting on parts but communicated all updates through email. The sound of the ocean waves can be heard from the bedroom and Lanai, the Lagoon next door was great to wade in or snorkel. The condo was very clean and art deco nice. Coffee and cookies were waiting upon our arrival. The kitchen and bathroom had all necessary supplies, cooking dishes, utensils and anything needed. My only negative would be the musty smell, just sprayed a little air freshener. The washer & dryer are outside on the same floor, 2.00 each load to wash and to dry. The farmers mkt and Kona shopping village are within walking distance. Pool very clean and refreshing. Been to several vrbo’s, you can tell this management company takes pride and care here. I would stay here again.

The property itself is great. This is the 4th time we've stayed (or tried to stay) in this complex. We rely heavily on A/C and didn't know/weren't told that the A/C for the whole building went out about a week before we got there. There was no note in the unit and we got in after a long travel day to a hot, stuffy condo. FORTUNATELY, we found an office person still on the grounds (who wasn't there officially) who enlightened us and tried hard to help with our first night. She also alerted the manager who was in almost immediate contact the next morning. We moved properties to something completely different but with A/C.Disappointed to lose the first 24 hrs of our stay with this problem solving but a very acceptable alternative was provided. We'd stay at this very condo in the future once the building A/C system is dependable. (They're working on it. It has a new system but it needs some parts.)

Beautiful view

It was perfect for our week stay, birthday week for my boyfriend!!! It had a great view. The only thing I would say is it had a mildew smell when you first came in, but once the windows were opened and AC was running it wasn’t as bad. The shower was older and the doors did not slide on the track smoothly, but the water pressure and hot water was AMAZING!!! Overall a fantastic stay for the price!!!

It’s all about the location

Let’s start with the good. The location was absolutely amazing. The condo sits approx 40’ above crashing waves. We so enjoyed the view. And we had a two block walk to restaurants and shopping. As for the condo itself, it was just OK. The furniture and rugs are all dated. The bed was actually quite comfortable, but the condo never seemed to be truly clean. Peeling paint on door jambs and heavily stained bathtub didn’t help.

Big Island week

The property was well equipped, especially the kitchen. We turned off the AC and just listened to the waves. It was important to run the dishwasher daily since it got bugs quickly. Management was notified about a stuck screen door on Thursday, 3 days later we called again and was told it was up to the handyman’s schedule when it would be fixed. It was not fixed. Beautiful views and good location.

Great Kona location, decent unit, annoying management company

Regular Kona visitors, enjoy staying along the coast, just south of restaurant row on Ali'i Drive. Whenever possible, we try to stay in an oceanfront unit, not always an option when booking relatively close in, unwilling to pay a huge premium. First stay in Hale Kona Kai, after several recent stays at Kona Reef. Hale Kona Kai is smaller, quieter (less street noise), with reserved parking. 1 br units at Hale Kona Kai have bigger bedrooms but smaller living space. Unit 411 is clean, well maintained, reasonably equipped but a bit dated, slight moldy smell when windows are closed, A/C is on - which fortunately was rarely required during our stay. Balcony is on the side of the building, so we did not have a sunset view (in December), stairs at the end of the hallway were blocked off with yellow tape, apparently for safety reasons. Only real beef is with the management company. They will spam you constantly to buy insurance, activities and other extras. They have some of the latest check in times ( 4pm), earliest check out times (10 am), will text you prior to arrival to extend both even further. As our flight arrived before noon, we asked if it would be possible to drop our luggage (in the room) prior to 4pm, received a snarky response. We decided to stop by around 2 pm, on-sight crew were very friendly and accommodating.

Location is fantastic!

We enjoyed our 10 days in unit 411. The location is superb, if you love watching dolphins in the bay, listening to the waves on the shore, and enjoying the fantastic Kona sunsets. It's also a short walk to town, restaurants, and shops as well as Honl's beach just south of the building. While the unit could use some upgrading, we found it clean and reasonably well supplied. There were fewer "extras" that are typically items bought and left by previous renters, but I expect that's a result of Covid issues. We were greeted with a welcome gift of chocolate covered mac nuts and a starter pack of detergents, paper products etc. Lots of snorkel and beach gear in the closet, and puzzles & games if you are ever bored (we weren't!). There were a few ants in the unit, but probably fewer than we've had in other condo units in other buildings! While there was air conditioning, we turned it off and enjoyed the ocean breezes. Even at night (in April) we were comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying our morning coffee or evening beverage along with the ocean and lagoon views - with our binoculars, we could see the fish and honu in the clear water of the Royal Kona's lagoon. We actually found the beach chairs more comfortable than the plastic chairs on the lanai. The building was clean, the pool area was well supplied with loungers and umbrellas, the pool was clean and heated! Parking was easy - although you may have to look twice to find your stall. Check-in was a breeze and we had a follow-up call to make sure everything was in order the morning after we arrived. We'd stay again!

Location was good

My wife and I thought location was very good. Easy access to what ever one needs The unit could to be updated. The first thing was the bedroom curtains that needed to be replaced. This should of been taken care of before we ask to have it done. The bathroom tub, sink, toilet all need to be replaced. Also the the deck furniture needs attention. The area that was okay was the kitchen. The supplies were very skippy for a two week stay. I know this will help for future renters. If these areas are addressed this would be great.

Lovely spot - comfortable, not super fancy

We stayed here for a week in December - great location in walking distance of the touristy shops and restaurants in Kona- Kailua. Clean and they left cookies for us. Gorgeous view from the lanai - loved spending time there with morning coffee. Parking is tight but assigned spots for the units. Coin laundry is very close by on the same floor and easy to use. Management group was very responsive when we needed more dishwasher soap. Kitchen is decently stocked with what we needed to make some basics. Sofa bed and master bed were comfortable enough -we slept well. A/C was broken while we were there, only reason I knew was looking at reviews before we arrived. However the room A/C unit in the master bedroom and having the doors open kept it comfortable enough at night - we were rarely there during the day. Shower head has crazy intense water pressure. Some peeling around faucets. Some beach equipment - chairs, boogie boards. Plenty of beach towels and linens for our family of three. Plenty of family board games. We went for several runs in the morning on Ali’i Drive. Did not use the pool or the tv so can’t comment on either. Overall was a great place for what we needed - would definitely go back.

The Good, the bad and the unfortunate

Your enjoyment of staying here will depend entirely on what you want and expect. The Good: Location! Hale Kona Kai is within walking distance of tons of shops and restaurants. It's perfect in that respect. It's also right on the water overlooking the lagoon for the hotel next door. The balcony is great for watching and listening to the waves crash ashore. You can also enjoy the music from the luau next door. The Bad: The condo is dated with uncomfortable furniture and mediocre mattress. The bathroom sink is peeling and rust comes out of the tub faucet when first turned on. The Unfortunate: When the governor asked people to not visit Hawaii due to a Covid spike, we were 6 days past the 100% refund date for this location. The owner of the other place we stayed on the Big Island was very accommodating and was willing to give us a full refund (minus VRBO fees). The owners of Hale Kona Kai refused to budge saying we would still owe the full price of the stay because the governor's request wasn't an official travel ban. Also, the air conditioning broke on our last night which made the condo very hot. There are ceiling fans, but not a lot of air movement. When we called, we were told it was an issue for the whole building and it would be fixed the next day. However, when we were packing up to leave the next day, we talked to people staying in another unit that said they were told it would be several days and they had found another location to stay. Whether we were lied to or they just had more up to date information, we'll never know. If you are looking for a place to lay your head at night, there are worse options than Hale Kona Kai. But if you are going to spend a lot of time in the condo, there are better options as well.

On second thought after seeing the place . . .

I stayed in #411 for a week and there are some good things but overall, I had second thoughts after staying here for a few days. Here is what is nice about this condo. The kitchen is very nice! It has plenty of pots, pans, kitchenware, condiments, etc. I was pleasantly surprised how nice the kitchen is. The living room was nice but new furniture is definitely needed. The recliner looked like it came from the 1970’s, and the cushion is definitely worn down. The Vizio TV goes off an on about every 20 minutes when you are watching a show. That was annoying. The bedroom is a mess. There is plenty of space and a decent dresser to put your clothes in but the closet is stacked from the floor to ceiling with an overabundance of stuff. The bed itself is a disaster. The mattress is old and needs to be thrown out. The bedsheets and comforter also need to be thrown out as they are old and worn out. Costco is 20 minutes away and sells mattresses, nice sheets, and comforters for a reasonable price and so go there and buy a bedroom. Put some effort into a redoing the bedroom. The bathroom was 10,000% disgusting! The wood veneer on the bathroom sink is coming off around the faucets (I have pictures), and that is only the beginning. The bathtub is stained and rusty (I have pictures of that too). When you turn the water on rust appears in the tub. Finally, the paint is chipped and it looks like it is a matter of time before more paint starts to fall off. This bathroom needs a MASSIVE remodeling. I will be returning to Kona but I will not be staying at this location given the poor impression it made on me. Going forward, I will be asking for recent pictures of ALL areas of the rental before I book it. This is due to my experience with this condo.

Check in was a breeze. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Beautiful view. Plenty of snorkel and beach equipment as well as kitchen items. Very clean and well kept with the exception of the non carpeted floors. While going barefoot indoors only I noticed my soles were getting dirty. No biggy and other than that I would highly recommend.
