Great Property!
Fit our families needs perfectly! Great view, host was very responsive, and the beach gear was a nice added bonus. We stayed in the lower level, it can get a little noisy depending who’s upstairs, but overall it wasn’t an issue for us.

Spectacular, exceeding all expectations
The unit was very airy, spacious and the view spectacular.No consideration for the experience seemed spared. Location was great, when hot days ran too hot on the coast, escaping to the rental was a fantastic cool down with vibrant sunsets. The kitchen was well supplied, bathroom too. We could not be more pleased.

Très bruyant!
Tout d’abord l’emplacement est bien pour visiter la région ouest de l’île. La décoration est magnifique et la cuisine très bien équipée. La terrasse est fort agréable, la vue est bien. Par contre, attention il y a deux unités. Nous avions celle du bas et nous pouvons vous garantir qu’il n’y a aucune insonorisation dans cet immeuble. Le bruit est très très intense malgré que les gens tentent de faire attention. Nous avons communiquer avec l'hôte, afin de lui faire part de la situation. Elle répond très rapidement, elle s'est excusée et nous a expliqué qu'il y avait des enfants et quand temps normal cela n'était pas autorisé.Donc, vu notre mécontentement elle voulais nous offrir un remboursement et que nous quittions le logement rapidement. Vu notre refus (nous étions la vieille de Noel avec nos enfants) elle a beaucoup insisté pour que nous quittions et nous avons ressenti une énorme pression.De plus, l'équipement de plage est vieux et usé (chaise/parasol).

Beautiful home up the hill
Modern, clean design unit with fabulous views. Watching the sunrise and sunset from a covered deck that runs the whole length of the place is the best part of the house. Kitchen supplies were fine and beds were comfortable. Being up the hill from the coast keeps the place cool without needing a/c or fans. I just wish thee were dimmers on all the lights so it wasn’t so bright at night. Would definitely stay here again.

Exceeded our expectations
We we overwhelmed when we walked into the property. It was absolutely beautiful. Every detail has been thought out and beyond what one would expect. The apartment was beautifully decorated and super comfortable. The view from the oversized balcony was worth the price of admission alone. Not only did they supply beach towels and chairs, but also umbrellas and even beach toys specifically for kids. There were TV's in both bedrooms - although not sure why one would stay home when they could be out exploring the island. We would highly recommend this property as it was a 5 star stay.

Great View, pleasant stay
Overall our stay was fine. The thing that caught us off guard was the noise in the neighborhood with lots of traffic up and down the steep hill, and the amount of critters and insects making noise 24/7. That's just the nature of tropical climates I suppose, but without AC in the home, windows/doors had to be left open for a breeze, and with that, all the noise from the outside. Sleeping was a little challenging but the house itself was very well kept and clean. No fan in the bathroom for shower and such. It was nice to have beach chairs and an umbrella to use though! And having laundry on-site was handy. Overall good stay.

Great little place. Great value for the money!
Really appreciated the hospitality of our host. She was super responsive and they provided a very clean very comfortable home in a great location overlooking Kona. We loved the sound of the frogs at night. The altitude of that location it really cools off nice at night and you can sleep really well. The kitchen was well equipped, clean, and very nicely designed. The bathroom Was great and everything worked really well. It was so great to have all the comfort of home nearly and it’s such a great price! Thank you so so much for sharing your home with our family!!!

This was our second stay
We enjoyed this house so much the first time, we decided to come back this year. Before, we were in the upstairs unit, this trip we were downstairs. The upstairs had been unrenovated the first time, but we thought it was lovely nonetheless. For this trip, we enjoyed the fully renovated downstairs unit and wow! Spectacular change! This property is on the slopes above the hot, flat lava fields that Kona proper sits on, so it's at least 10 degrees cooler and much wetter, a welcome relief after a day of rambling around the town. The view from the balcony lanai is stunning. The unit was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well-equipped for the simple cooking we did and the bed was very comfortable. Our only gripe was the family upstairs. There was a young boy who decided he had to run around the unit, dashing from room to room. His parents didn't stop him and they, themselves thumped around like elephants. This continued, even after we complained to the manager, who asked them to be considerate of their downstairs neighbors. We endured this for almost a week. The takeaway lesson--we will specifically ask for the upstairs unit, renovated or not! But, all in all, we loved this place and will make this our go-to home away from home when next we visit Kona.

Very nice place to stay. Beautiful sunsets and view from the Lanais. Close to Kailua Kona. Great place to relax and cool down after long days at the beach. Beds are comfortable and clean. Beach equipment and a washer and dryer were helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Pictures don’t do it justice- this house is stunning inside and out- The everyday sunset is magical- my teenage girls had an opportunity to take amazing portraits…. The neighborhood gave my husband and I an opportunity to do our morning hikes every day. Great place to stay. Close enough to it all but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet.

Absolutely love!
This was one of the best homes we have stayed at on vacation! So clean and in a great location for everything. The views were stunning and so relaxing to sit out on the deck and soak up the sounds and views of the island. They had everything we needed in the home and for the beach! Highly recommend and hope to return when we get back the big island!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Bollinger

Host profile image
Local owner (40+ year Kona resident) is happy to share favorite island locations and to answer any and all questions regarding the beautiful Big Island.

Why they chose this property

When I first moved to Kona (over 40 years ago) I got a place right on the beach . . . but I could NOT take the intense heat, so I've lived "Up Mauka" at a cooler elevation ever since.
Love the beach - but also love having a cool and comfy retreat (from the sticky heat) to come home to. It's much more pleasant to relax in the cool and comfy as opposed to the hot and sticky. And EVERYTHING is literally minutes away. The best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

NOT a stifling Condo in hot and humid areas of Kona where you need air-conditioning! RATHER, Kona Hale is located in Mauka Kona where cool ocean and mountain breezes flow through the spacious home. You have use of our Boogie Boards, Snorkels, Masks and Fins, Beach Towels and Chairs. A local convenience market with adjacent restaurant is only 1 mile away. Be sure to get the inside scoops on "What's Hot and What's Not" on our beautiful Big Island of Hawaii from your Host and...enjoy!
