this is falsely advertised as renovated condo. It’s old and dated condo, carpets are gross, air conditioning is prehistoric, kitchen appliances and pots and pans are from ages ago. The rooms smells of unpleasant urine-like smell. Portable A/C units are blocking the sliding doors and windows so they never fully shut. Bug nets on the windows have holes so defeats the purpose of keeping mosquitoes out. Closet in the bedroom is full of owner’s junk such as fishing rods so it’s impossible to store your own stuff. They provide one toilet peper roll as starter pack for three days - so you pay them hundreds of dollars for each day of the stay and they still expect you to go to supermarket to get your own toilet paper. I specifically booked this because I hate old dated condos so was looking for renovated or new even willing to pay higher price. These guys cheated me and took my money for falsely advertised condo. I want my refund!!!

We have stayed at this complex 8 times now (but not this room). With 2 notable exceptions, the overall cleanliness this time was better than before. Also, the central A/C was not musty/moldy as it was during previous visits. Property manager said that they refurbished the A/C recently.
Problems on this visit: 1) There was a cockroach in the bathroom on the last night. This individual unit was clean, so there may be a problem within the complex. 2) We pulled a blanket out of the closet that had some disgusting solid stains on it.
This unit has a great view and is nicely decorated. The indoor and outdoor furniture was comfortable. But, for us, the bed was too firm. It is a mattress on a rigid platform.
The noted cleanliness problems can be addressed by property management. But the firmness of the bed may cause us to look at other units.
Nitpick: The property management only provided detergent for 4 loads of dishes during our 10 day stay. If they want to deter cockroaches, they should provide more detergent. Liquid dishsoap for washing by hand was plentiful.

We had a great time in Hawaii! Hawaii has really changed since we were there 25 years ago! Not as clean as it use to be lots of homeless!!! very disappointing!
I find it very hard to believe this condo was newly renovated!! Mold in the tub, toilet perfect size for a child, air conditioner ran all the time along with 2 portable air conditioners (all 3 very noisy)! furniture was very uncomfortable!

Great location! Walkable to many places. There are tide pools just below the lanai, where I saw moray eels and schools of fish. You can hear the sounds of waves crashing all day and all night. We also enjoyed the small pool.

We had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed having our coffee on the Lanai each morning. The views couldn't be better. The ocean is literally just feet from you. The pool is clean and nice, and there are beaches that are very close. Shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance.

We enjoyed our stay at the condo and having the oceanfront patio. It was clean and well furnished. The breeze and sounds from the ocean were wonderful.
The bathroom was a little tight and didn't have a vent which was surprising.

Everything inside was clean and as expected.
The view from the balcony was beautiful, though we (naively) didn't realize how loud the surf would be. For us without much heat tolerance, the direct sun meant we couldn't enjoy it much in the afternoon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! It was small and quaint. The manager was easy to get ahold of when we were locked out. The front desk had amazing customer service. And the pool was a nice bonus!

Stunning views, can’t get closer to the water. Waves crash literally 2’ from the lanai.

Perfect location. Easy walk to town, balcony looked directly down at the rocky shoreline. Magic Sand beach located a short drive away with plenty of parking.

The view is great. It is right on the water within 3 feet. The room was clean and had all the amenities for a great vacation. It also has covered parking garage.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hale Kona Kai. The property was ideally located, and our room had a beautiful ocean view and was very spacious. Very reasonable price.
