We loved this apartment - clean, comfortable and a great view from the patio. The exterior looks a bit frayed, which gave me pause, but once inside, all was perfect. Also liked have a lagoon to hang out in. Good covered parking too.

This spot was perfect for all Alii activities and getting to and from different spots around the island.

Great location with fabulous view of shoreline and harbor--right on the ocean! Apartment clean and well maintained, and onsite manager very helpful and responsive to minor issues--a great place to be.! Small downside for us-- luau noise from Royal Kona Resort irksome, as was rehabilitation work on their south building.

The unit is very nice, the view is mainly of the neighboring hotel and a small lagoon. Not a bad view once they finish refurbishing the hotel next door. So close to town you can walk there. Make sure you ask the building manager if the air conditioning is up and running before you sign up to rent. .

I enjoyed the entire condo and made myself at home! Prepared many lovely meals in the kitchen; I had all I needed. Spent morning coffee time on the balcony as well as most breakfast’s and dinners! Watched each sunset from the comfy pool area. Exactly what we needed to de-stress and decompress. Excellently located!

Excellent location! Walking distance to restaurants/shopping. Everything we needed to be comfortable was available. Communication with the host was very easy and responses were always timely. We checked in late and there was no problem!

This was our 7 trip to the Kona area and we would stay with you again...but...a few issues. Get a stronger toilet seat...Bathroom sink hot water hard to open/close...Refer needs 2 shelves...Living room drapes are off track, right side....Both overhead fans are pined the same turn one on and they both come on....Sure could use a dust pan and broom. Keep them working on the building it needs help.

We loved starting each day with a cup of coffee on the lanai watching the waves crash against the rocks!

This was our first time on the big island. Where this condo was located was so busy with tourists. Not really our first choice of where to stay but we didnt know better. Condo was nice though. No place to store food as all cabinets were full with stuff. So our food was spread out all over the countertop. Bed was ok but foam topper kept sliding over to one side with sheets coming undone. But air conditioning worked well at night. Windows open during the day was perfect. Overall good stay.

The apartment is conveniently located with parking right at the place. The highlight is the ocean-facing pool where we could see a turtle, some whales and a beautiful sunset.

The unit was nice and location was great. The air conditioning was out when we were there and it was difficult getting a hold of on-site property management.

This spot in Kona was a very short walk from restaurants, shops and even beaches. The view of the ocean was great, and the patio was a great place to hang out in mornings and evenings. Would return to this location.

Overall, we were happy with this property. However, the mustiness of the unit is extremely intense. The unit is beautiful and fully stocked. The location is unbeatable and the entire property has such a quaint and casual feel nestled right next to the ocean. The mustiness of the property was our biggest complaint. The pull out bed is in pretty bad shape and an adult would probably find it extremely uncomfortable. However, our six year old son had no issues with it. Again, however, overall, this is a beautiful unit with an unbeatable location. Even your car gets an incredible view from its assigned parking spot. The kitchen is fully stocked and beautifully remodeled. The unit feels spacious and having the patio with an ocean view is a great way to start and end every day. If we stayed here again we would keep all of our clothes in our suitcase and not have them out in the open. Our clothes that had been out smelled extremely musty.

This condo has everything to make a wonderful vacation complete! The view is beautiful and hearing the ocean as you go to sleep in a very comfortable bed is a joy. The kitchen has everything you need to fix meals. The bathroom was just gorgeous with very plush towels. We would definitely stay here again. Also the rental company went the extra mile for us on all issues.

We love the location, amenities and view. Gorgeous sunsets! A few items need attention. The faucets leak all over the bath counter, the light does not work on the lanai and the dishwasher is difficult to get started. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise.

We enjoyed our stay in 309 very much. Having stayed in 311 numerous times before, it was nice to see a remodeled unit with all the features that 309 has to offer. We were initially concerned about 309 being a bit further from the ocean front, but after being there we were completely satisfied with the view, etc from the 309 lanai. We will definitely go back to Hale Kona Kai, and likely to 309. Thanks for making it possible.

We have stayed here multiple times and have enjoyed every time. It is great having a quiet place overlooking the water with a kitchen and within walking distance of Kona. The place is comfortable, the view from the lanai is wonderful (especially at sunset) and you have a reserved space for parking. It is also nice to have an on-site manager in case something goes wrong (which it did not, but still good to know). We will definitely stay here again.

This was nicely renovated and has a nice walk in shower. We loved listening to the waves each night. We had a very nice stay and office staff are very friendly and welcoming.

I believe this is our 3rd rental of 309. We cancelled one due to illness. The sight and sound of the waves on the rocks and tide pool can't be beat day or night. It is on the shade side of the building until later in the day. It has been upgraded with granite, including shower, new kitchen cabinets,new appliances and a huge flat screen TV. Easy walk to restaurants and town. We are so comfortable in this unit there was a day we only left it to eat. Easy to tell this owner pays attention to detail.

It is very good unit located at oceanfront condo building. There is elevator if you're not taking stairs. Patio looks at a small beach between Hale Kona Kai and Royal Kona. The unit is nice, clean, stuffed with everything (linen, towels, kitchen equipment, even additional TV an the bedroom etc.). Everything (WiFi, cable TV, fridge, dishwasher) worked well. The unit feels larger than at Kona Reef. The central AC is great (works in every room and very quiet)! There are coin-operated laundry rooms at every floor - the quarters are available at the lobby. For years we stayed at neighboring Kona Reef and found that 309 at Hale Kona Kai is an excellent alternative. It is our second time renting through KonaNow - we are happy with their service and will come back again.

Really enjoyed my stay in Unit 309. I will be back and quite possibly reserve this Unit if available. Very comfortable.

Very comfortable unit, but let's face it, the Lanai is why you stay here. Perfect cove and ocean views while you sip a cold beverage. Great location for easy walks to restaurants and shops.
