Styling Oceanfront Condo! - Hale Kona Kai 303

The following things stood out: the cleanliness of the condo, the bed and the location. We would not hesitate to recommend this particular unit.

The manager was very friendly and helpful. Loved seeing the yellow tangs and the turtles. The condo was very clean.

Five stars for the view from the condo, location and responsiveness of the host. We very much enjoyed having breakfast with a wonderful ocean view, watching sunset every evening and sleeping with the sound of waves. It is a short distance from downtown Kona but still very quiet and peaceful. A few hiccups regarding the broken microwave & leaky water reservoir of the toilet but it got taken care of in a timely manner. The place could use a little upgrade but we will definitely stay there again for the view & location.

The condo was prepared with plenty of necessities to use. We had everything in the kitchen needed for meals and morning coffee to make us feel at home.

Condo is nice,with a great view, BUT...the central air system in the complex was down for repairs, which we were only notified of after arrival. They provided a portable unit, but that only cooled the bedroom, while leaving the living room/kitchen at 78 degrees. Another big problem was no way to reach help in the evening when we locked ourselves out. We had to hire a locksmith to get back in to the unit, for 380! The next day we were notified about an emergency lockbox we could have used, if only we knew the night before!

Great place? Great location very clean. Awesome views. In walking distance to everything Only problem was AC was down, so it was pretty hot.

Great location, quiet building. I appreciated the beach equipment and good coffee.

Nice cozy condo with good size bedroom, shower, fully stocked kitchen, clean and most importantly Fantastic View and Sound! Lulled us to sleep. Also the location to the restaurant district is ideal, just 5 minutes away. We loved this place.

We loved the space and the location! It was wonderful to have coffee in the morning while watching the ocean and listening to the surf. We will definitely stay here again.

Condo had everything we needed and a great view to boot. Quiet, close to town without being on a busy road, and right on the water. We stayed 2 weeks and had a great time.

If you love the ocean, the sunset views, the short walk to everything and the fully stocked and comfortable condo...you got it!

Perfect location with easy walking access to downtown Kailua-Kona. The unit was very clean and well-stocked. Plenty of towels available, if needed. Casago even leaves some local treats and coffee beans which is a nice perk!The view from the living room, bedroom and the deck was amazing. Neighbors were quiet (no parties while I was there).The parking spot for 303 was very convenient, right at the entry to the parking lot. There is an elevator at the north end for bringing luggage up/down. Laundry room is also at the north end. Bring quarters and detergent. 2 washers and 2 dryers per floor. No change machine on site and no one was at the building office. It seemed to be well-used when I walked by, but never had to wait to start my wash cycle. Limited open hours, so plan accordingly. Each cycle takes about 40 minutes.As others mentioned, the unit could use some updates, but overall, it was a lovely stay.

The view was amazing (when the cruise ships weren’t blocking which was 1 day out of 9) It’s convenient to walk to eat, and souvenir shop The road out front is extremely busy and noisy The beach that you can supposedly walk to is where the homeless sleep (awful odor/safety?) The condo was disgusting.Mold in shower, the a/c had a horrible odor The two doors had holes in them and so much dirt! (I looked at the neighbors theirs were clean) the fan in the bedroom created a wet film over all soft surfaces & smelled musty. Windows hadn’t been washed in ages, fridge missing parts and ice overflowed, patio furniture falling apart along with the roll down screens that are covered in mold and frayed. Bed needed to be replaced years ago instead they put a foam pad over the top (horrible backache) Lamp broken glued back together with missing parts covered in dust. Kitchen light wouldn’t work, got repair guy he never came back and the cover was so gross. Inside cabinets need deep cleaning. Mishmash of kitchen supplies and no spices. Microwave display not working, oven beeps randomly, TV has two red lines running down screen.W/D are not in room, at end of hall $2 ea one broken/rusted. EVERYTHING was old, outdated, not cleaned, smelled and not as described. Pool nice. 10 loungers and 2 umbrellas for entire complex. Oh, and replace the beach towels! Seriously. Management company sent me text after text after text. Quite annoying and redundant. Would not recommend this unit at all

Great location and view! Short and easy walk to shops and restaurants. The condo was comfortable, clean and kitchen was well stocked with any items you may need during your stay.

The apartment is in a great location, right by the sea. We will certainly never forget this view. The apartment was ok. But the bed was terrible with the foam. And we had uninvited guests in the form of small creepy crawlies like cockroaches. Most of them in the kitchen which was very unapetizing. Otherwise everything was fine.

We came to Kona to visit our daughter who is on the University of the Nations campus. The location of this condo was great for walking everywhere! So many extras were available for us to use such as beach towels, beach umbrella and an adorable little yellow cooler, which we put to use. Thank you! The kitchen has absolutely everything you need as we had several students over for dinner one evening. Beautiful sunsets and glorious views right off the deck. Perfect!

We’ve stayed at a different condo in this complex and recommend it to couples (it’s very small) who want to have an oceanfront lanai, easy walk into heart of Kona restaurants and shops, and kitchen. This is the first time we’ve rented a unit from the Casago rental company and we were thrilled with their responsiveness. Unfortunately through no fault of property management the broiler broke and there was no hot water in the entire complex. To make up for this, we were reimbursed 30% for each day without water. We’ll return!
