Oceanfront Condo🏄‍♀️Wrap-Around Lanai Almost Hanging Over The Ocean! 🌊 Hale Kona Kai 313

True and total oceanfront condo with wide wrap-around lanai (balcony) giving you almost four lanai rooms. The lanai hangs over the ocean. See the tide pools and the lagoon where the turtles love to swim. Let the sounds of the sea make you sleep after a day of sightseeing or relaxation. Both the bedroom and living room face the sea, where you can see dolphins all year round and whales throughout the season.

Condo stay

We’ve been here numerous times. Excellent location and amenities are very good. Just needs repairs around door and sliding windows as chips of plastic/paint are on floor where it is peeling off. Also, sink in bathroom cant be filled and is needed for shaving and soaking dive computers. Also, no place to hang wet bathing suits outside like there was in the past. Also, I did not get a message back to see if we could check in early. Otherwise, paradise!

Great Location, the unit needs work

The unit has a great location and the lanai overlooking the ocean is fantastic. The unit is in need of repair work One can see light from all sides of the front door. The unit smelled of mildew. The couch and love seat sagged badly if one tried to sit on them. The window facing the ocean needs to be replaced as the frame is cracked. The bedroom also smelled of mildew. They used a queen sized top sheet on a king mattress. The bathroom was ok although the shower door should have it's caulk stripped and replaced. We had an early flight out and the shower water temperature was way to hot. I theorize earlier in the week we showered later in the morning and enough hot water had been used to lower it's temperature. While a great location, we would not stay here again.

Perfect location for a restful getaway.

This was just what we were looking for. A nice lanai right on the water. The set up made the lanai very private. The bonus was we didn’t have to drive to town in the traffic, very easy walk. After a long flight in it was nice not to have to worry about coffee or filters or all the little extras that they supplied for us. We even noticed that people left some of their kitchen supplies behind,so there were extras of things in the kitchen also. Also, it had the best water pressure in the shower we’ve ever had! The only con is it is a little worn, but hey, it is a rental property if you’re looking for a five star fancy place this might not be for you. We will be back.

Love the area

It's a nIce area and we do love it there. The condo is starting to show it's age. For the high/increased cost of rent, improvements should be made:damaged moldings around front door and under windows fixed, walls & under furniture cleaned, sheets should be newer and thicker, new pillows, sliding screen should actually slide, coffee pot base very corroded, a few more area rugs would be nice by bed and shower, and the A/C seemed over-taxed or weak.I know the cleaning folks need time to come in, but paying a full day for a unit you can't get into until 4pm and must leave by 10:am seems reason for a reduced charge. Also, if a unit does not have room for it's own washer/dryer, then the ones provided down the hall should be free (and upgraded to more modern machines). Thank you for your time.

BED BUG ISSUE

I recently stayed at Hale Kona Kai with my husband and wanted to share our experience to prevent future renters from encountering what we did and prompt changes. We encountered a serious issue with bed bugs and ended up with bites all over our arms and legs. The rental company continues to deny the incident and told us we had an allergic reaction action, ultimately forcing us to go to our doctor once we arrived home only to have our doctor confirm we were both infested with bed bugs. This can be backed up with pictures of the bites on our bodies. Not only did we have to spend our last days on our vacation inspecting the couch, bed and washing all of our clothes, we were forced to book additional accommodations not knowing whether we would be spreading bed bugs in the process. Since our return home, we spent over a week washing and bagging clothing, steaming luggage, contacting our doctor(s), lawyers and trying to determine how we were allowed to stay in such unhygienic accommodations. The rental company/hosts continue to deny the bed bug nightmare we encountered. Unfortunately, after staying at Hale Kona Kai for 6+ years, we will never stay there again given the blatant disregard for hygiene and renter safety and will continue to pursue legal action as a result of our experience.

Great location, easy to get to everything at the Kona waterfront. Could sit on lanai and listen to surf while watching fish jump in the ocean. On Sunday they had an ocean swim with hundreds of swimmers right in front of the unit. Was awesome to watch.

Nice ocean view and updated rooms

We got this condo because the original condo we booked was not available due to construction issues. We were concerned it would not be as good but were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The bed was a tiny bit uncomfortable but otherwise the place was great! It looked directly over the ocean and pool, very good view. I liked that they had washing machines on each floor, but finding quarters to run them was very difficult! Overall great place to stay and I’d go here again.

Amazing Vacation

We loved our stay here❤️ Loved waking up and having breakfast out on the Lanai. The view is incredible !! The Kona coast did not disappoint . We saw sea turtles, tropical fish and in the evening beautiful sunsets. The rental had beach chairs we could use so that was helpful as well. The place is older but really after we ate breakfast we were out and about all day and it had a great AC that kept the place nice and cool. We will be coming back and staying here when we do🌺

Truly beautiful

This place was amazing to stay at! My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we loved every minute!! The hosts were fabulous, easy to talk to, and definitely went above and beyond with leaving us a little gift for our honeymoon. The views were incredible and you open the door/widow and just hear the sounds of the ocean. Very close to "downtown" Kona and you can walk to shops/food. We drove around the island and nothing was too far (except for the other side obviously). The place was VERY spacious, clean, comfortable and came with everything you need!! Would 100% recommend this to anyone! :)

The best lanai views, fantastic location

We loved our stay at Hale Kona Kai. The unit was exactly as described, beautifully furnished and decorated, but the crown jewel was the wrap around lanai. The views cannot be beat! We enjoyed the sunset directly from the lanai. The sound of the surf is the perfect lullaby to fall asleep to. Waking up to that view was amazing. The swimming lagoon that is shared with the royal kona Resort is literally steps away from the condo. It appears small but it was never crowded and the rock wall provides a safe sanctuary from the surf. It was safe and relaxing and you can snorkel and see all sorts of fish right there! The town is within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about parking. Just walk! So many great restaurants within walking distance. Huggo's is the closest and it was wonderful. We also loved Papa Kona. The unit is close to everything yet super quiet at night. The parking was easy, covered parking with a marked spot. Just wonderful. I also want to give a shout out to the management company. They were so helpful and extremely accommodating. I called to report an issue with the bed (the bedsprings had come apart) and they resolved it instantly. Just fantastic service. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed. Loved this place and would highly recommend it!

Great central Kona location, everything is in walking distance. View is beautiful. Bed was comfortable. Shower pressure was amazing. The condo, both inside and the building itself, it dated. The only reason I gave 4 starts and not 5 was the portable air conditioners in the unit are incredibly loud.

Great view and location

This condo has a great view, and the location can't be beat for walkability, and for providing a central driving location to explore the whole island. The lanai view is incredible and makes for a lovely morning and evening spot to enjoy the ocean and the sunrise and sunset. The unit managers are super responsive and helpful, and the unit is stocked with everything you need to cook or explore the beaches. The only criticisms we would note are that the building is weathered (it is on the ocean, so that is to be expected), the central AC wasn't working (the standalone units were fine for us though), some of the furnishings could be upgraded to help make the place feel more luxurious to match that fabulous view (living area furniture and pillows/linens), and the saltwater pool is not heated as advertised (the property manager said it used to be, but that they were not planning to repair it). However, regardless of the criticisms, this is still a great value and a great unit in a perfect location for enjoying the island and the views can't be beat. I'd recommend it and think it is a good value for a vacation to the Big Island.

Perfect property

The property is in a fantastic location with a full ocean front view of the Pacific. Close to restaurants and also not too far away from the Kona airport. Perfect for a couple! The kitchen has all necessary utensils if you are inclined to cook your own meals. While we were not promised any condiments, we did find some of the basic ones such as salt, sugar, pepper etc. The host had also provided a complimentary packet of local coffee beans with a grinder which was awesome and lasted for all 6 days. There were enough towels provided in the bathroom. The bedroom has a comfortable kingsize bed and plenty of drawers to store them. It was a little hot and there was no central air-conditioning, however there were powerful portable ACs provided for the living room and the bedroom. An assigned covered parking spot for one car is also provided, in which an SUV can easily fit. There was a couple of times when the electric circuits tripped due to the use of hair dryer but the property manager rectified that within 10 minutes. The furniture could be a little more updated but no complaints. Overall a very good property and a very pleasant stay. I would stay here again.

A Great View With A Few Problems !!!

The view is amazing !!! There were a few problems however: 1.) About (1) month before we arrived we were notified that the Central A/C was not working. We were given the option to have (2) Room A/C Units installed in the unit, in the Living Room and the Bedroom. To be very honest in this review, the owners did give us a ($ 224.85), which was a 15 % discount for the A/C not working, only after I pushed back on the 10% that they offered when I said that we didn't book a unit with no Central A/C.. The portable units were installed when we arrived, they did cool the unit, however they are so loud, you can't hear the ocean right outside of the unit. We go to Hawaii every year to hear the ocean, not any kind of loud sounds !!! Also, the Living Room unit is installed in such a way that the sliding door CANNOT be locked. This made us super nervous, as we're not in the habit of leaving our hotel room door, unlocked when we leave for the day !!! The discount was not enough for no Central A/C ! 2.) The entire unit needs to be updated very badly. There is rust everywhere in the unit. 3.) The shower head is OK if you're 5' tall or shorter. 4.) The rugs in the bathroom are dangerous, and are anything but Non-Slip rugs. They need to be replaced. 5.) The (2) TV's are vastly undersized for this day and age. 6.) The TV in the bedroom is almost impossible to turn on with the (2) remotes. 7.) The couch in the LR is old and needs to be replaced

Ideal location

A bit rundown due to the oceanfront weather on the exterior. Nothing in the kitchen besides salt and pepper. You will need to buy or bring everything for cooking and storage of leftovers. Shabby old scratchy towels. For such a beautiful location we were expecting more lavish accommodations. Sounds of waves outside condo very soothing.

Great location and a beautiful feeling!

Overall our experience there was good. We checked into our unit on the 15th, upon arrival half of the rooms power was out. The restroom, bedroom and half the living room had no power. The issue was resolved the following afternoon however this impacted our stay as the AC units were down, lights in the unit were out making it difficult to get around, and also the Internet disrupted which impacted our ability to connect for work and resulted in cancellations of meetings. We tried connecting with the host but had no success. We never we were able to connect to the Internet. We are hoping VRBO can work with the host to compensate a partial refund. Thank you
