Hale Kona Kai 412 absolute oceanfront condo with wrap around lanai

Thank you for the opportunity to book this lovely and relaxing condo for vacation. Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, relaxing, everything we needed!

Absolutely love the view!!! Central air was not working and room air conditioners were only fair. A real pain to avoid using one air conditioner when using dishwasher, hair dryer and microwave. The one chaise lounge was broken. Place could use cooking pans. The pool looked awful—-first thought it was a black bottom but apparently not. Dared not to go in.

Arrived at this BEAUTIFUL unit, where we've stayed many times, only to find the central air conditioning system was inoperative. Two poorly installed freestanding floor units were only marginally effective in cooling the “full afternoon sun facing unit”! The a/c units were also very noisy (pretty much drowning out the sound of the surf) and needed to be turned off whenever we were using any of the major kitchen appliances, hairdryers, hair curlers, etc.!!!

What an Absolutely Amazing place to stay! The view itself is the best there is, you get the most amazing sunsets. The best part is that you are within walking distance of some of the best restaurants around. The property is well furnished and has everything you will need while you are there, including air fryer and blender. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, in many rentals it is either too soft or hard as rock. What a wonderful place to stay!

Whenever I'm heading back to Kona, I prefer this unit if its available. It sits almost directly over the water and with a wrap around lanai it offers stunning views. A few years ago both rooms were completely repainted and refurnished. More recently, the kitchen was completely redone with new appliances and cabinetry. It's a small point but the unit's assigned parking space on the ground floor is next to the complex's only elevator, so lugging suitcases and shopping bags up to the top floor is easy. The rental agents, Tainya and Tracy, are on site, friendly and helpful.

As advertised, right over the water. Close to restaurants are n the tourist district.

We love this property so much! If you like the sound of crashing waves and endless ocean vistas, this is the place. We found it hard to leave our balcony because of the gorgeous views. On a more practical note, the unit is newly updated and well appointed with all the desired amenities. The AC worked great even though we only needed it a few times during our stay. The property manager was very responsive when we had a question about the microwave. My only suggestion would be to consider a mattress upgrade. We slept fine but the mattress is a bit bouncy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can hardly wait to come back.

It was everything we'd hoped for and more. The views were awesome and the location A1.

Great unit. Had been remodeled from the last time we stayed and was even better. Privacy, views, you don't hear other people because the sound of the waves blocks them out. Clean, comfortable and well organized. The assigned parking space was difficult--we had to return our original car to the airport and get something smaller...and still were unable to exit our space one morning. Management was great when I contacted them--they found an assigned space that would not be used and let us move the car to it.

This is a beautiful little condo that is very charming. It was clean and the check in/out process is easy. The views are breathtaking and relaxing. The property management was quick to respond when we had a couple issues with the building. The place has a smell to it (we had read from prior reviews too) but it helps to open the slider and window to air it out. We would definitely stay here again.
