Great place to stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s close to restaurants and shops. Beautiful view. We loved sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean while having coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. You can watch both the sunrise and the sunset. Highly recommend this place if you are staying in Kona.

Loved our place. Great location, just a few minutes from shopping, grocery store, snorkelling, manta ray adventure, and 34 minutes to Hāpuna Beach State Recreation white sand beach.
Will be returning next year.

Great views, overall comfotable, good location. Note air cond is extra 50.00 a day. Also 2 flights of stairs to lug up suitcases and groceries. Hard on older folks. TV difficult to figure out.

This is one of the best vacation rentals we've ever stayed. The view is, of course, stunning. The condo is comfortable and very well appointed. Even though we did not utilize the concierge service, the staff was outstanding -- reaching out several times prior to departure to offer help, calling us shortly after our arrival to make sure all was well, and alerting us to events that could potentially impact our plans. Kudos to the staff!

This condo true to its listing. The decor was wonderful and the inside was very clean. We appreciated all the extras that came with the space (beach toys, chairs, kitchen extras, umbrellas, bags, coolers, etc) it was all here and we didn't need to worry about it. There were plenty of fans in the condo to help keep us cool when needed, otherwise we did not miss having the AC at all. The beach waves helped drown out any street or neighbor noise, which we loved. The condo was close and convenient to everything along the coast and we would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this condo for Ironman it was the perfect location for the event It was right on the run course. The condo is as ocean from as you can get. The kitchen is well equipped for any cooking you would want to do. We will definitely return someday and stay here again.

This place was very nice. My wife, 16 year old daughter and myself stayed here. It is a short 5 minute drive into town for great restaurants. Short 5 minute walk to The Poke Shack that has great food. Picture perfect setting right on the water with a great lania that we enjoyed each morning drinking our coffee. It was a little noisey as the windows are actually shutters with screens, no glass. The A/C worked great. Overall very nice and i would definately consider staying here again.

We had a great time and the property was spacious and had everything we needed. The views were absolutely stunning! We enjoyed the pool and walking down by the rocks and beach area. It was nice to have the air conditioning units but we didn't have to use them a lot. The condo (especially the window screens) could have been cleaner but I would still recommend staying here.

Overall stay was great. Some small things made it to my attention as I took my elderly parents to visit the island for the last time possibly. Couch was completely wore out or broke or both. We would slide right off the cushions because it was so deformed from the hide a bed inside and most likely being old. Other than that it was what I expected. The pictures were taken freshly after a remodel whenever that was. Must have been a while ago. Somewhere along the way we have lost the pay it forward as there was nothing in the cupboards as for spices, syrup, soups, unopened chips or anything in the fridge as for leftover Waters or other things that do not spoil. I miss that! You basically have to grocery shop and what's left over at the end of your stay throw out. No aloha in that..... is there? Don't get me wrong we had a wonderful time as always. We consider Kona our second home!

The only two complaints I had with the property and they might sound silly but:
1- very loud from the ocean. I was aware of the ocean noise but the walls of the condo are pretty much open other than louvers to block the sound.
2- No barbecue on the property. Kind of a let down but I should have asked.

One of 6 condo units, 2nd floor, unobstructed ocean view barely 40' from the surf, which is mesmerizing over coffee at first light or with a glass of wine as the sun slips over the horizon, and soothing all through the night. The style is vaguely Asian, louvered windows, lots of wood. This kitchen is not quite as slick as it appears in the web photos, but more than adequate. Beds are comfortable, plenty of towels, storage adequate, Shower water pressure is weak, but that seems to be true all over the big island. About 10 minutes south of Kona center, quiet but close to the action. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

My wife, mother-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Holualoa. While at the property, we spent the majority of our time on the spacious lanai/patio overlooking the water (gorgeous and tranquil with the waves crashing against the rocky shore). The property description was on point, check-in/checkout was straightforward and the single parking space is spacious/covered and in a garage connected to the property.
Our only issue was that one of the AC units in one of the bedrooms was on the fritz. Kona Coast Property Mgmt provided us with a mobile unit the following day, and that did the trick. Speaking of which, I would highly advise adding the optional air conditioning (at least during the time of year for our stay: August). It was warm late into the evening, but that is to be expected that time of the year in Kona.
We would definitely stay at this property again.

You can’t beat the view at this location. The condo stayed cool with plenty of windows and fans. Check out was a little difficult with our code being turned off hours before checkout. Luckily we had a phone with us so we could call to get another code, but it cancelled right away too so we had to just make sure someone was inside all of the time while loading our car.

We loved our stay on this condo. The unit has a gorgeous oceanfront view and access to a small sandy beach. Sunset views were amazing. It is a small condo building that seems well maintained and the balcony of the unit is quite private. The only warning for guests is that the road noise is pretty loud in the primary bedroom with all the windows open. If road noise bothers you at night, bring earplugs. It’s probably a problem for most condos on Alii Drive. The location and views of the condo make this small inconvenience well worth it. Would definitely stay here again!

This property was exactly as advertised and more! We stayed here with our daughter and her husband to help them celebrate their 25th anniversary. The 2 bedrooms were situated so both couples had plenty of privacy. There was a beach area to the left of the condo that was a very short stroll from the condo. We saw dolphins swimming by almost everyday. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. WWe had an issue with the door lock sticking but the issue was dealt with right away. The property manager was easy to reach. We would definitely stay in this condo again!

Pros:
We spent 2 weeks here and loved the location and open air feeling of the unit.
The lanai was absolutely perfect!
Kona Coast was very helpful and responsive
Cons:
Unit could use a refresh.
Couch saggy and uncomfortable
rugs are dirty
Need to provide a mop and simple cleaning supplies
Needs better beach chairs (Tommy Bahama)
Still....the lanai and oceanside location trumps all!

The condo was dated, kitchen and bathrooms were small and felt old. No BBQ available, or allowed. Furnishings were not very comfortable and dated. The lever windows let a lot of street noise in. I was disappointed.

This is our 5th time staying at Hale Pohaku, but the first time in unit 3. It was lovely! Beautiful styling and well equipped. We never use the kitchen much, but it seemed like everything you would need if you're cooking on vacation would be there. There were even a couple small coolers that made it easy to pack snacks/lunch to head out to a beach for the day. We love the louvered walls, but if you want to try and sleep in they may not be for you, the birds do start early. This is an absolutely wonderful property and will be back next time we visit Kona!

What an amazing property! Lots of space and right on the water, the sound of the waves on the rocks is therapy for our busy world. The two king beds were perfect for our two couple group. Very comfortable and easy access to town. We will come again.

Great condo with nice updated furnishing and kitchen. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and perfect for privacy.
Listening to the waves and starring at the ocean was mesmerizing. Loved the lanai and will miss the sunsets. Absolutely a great condo and would like to stay again soon.

We had a great time at this property - the location is perfect (close to town, easy to access), and the ocean views are unbeatable. The condo has lots of amenities and the owners are quick to respond to any questions. We were having issues with the washing machine and they were able to send maintenance within an hour of our call. Cleanliness is a 5 other than a slight ant problem in the kitchen (nothing major and seems to be prevalent all over the island, but is noticeable).

We really enjoyed our week at Kona and the condo was perfectly situated on the beach, beautiful views and just out of the main downtown. The condo itself is in real need of an update. The kitchen needs to be completely gutted, the living room furniture is horribly uncomfortable. Beds, linens and towels were great quality. As there is no barbecue on site, or grill, it is not place for cooking. Unless you can fry it in a frying pan there are no other ways to grill. A swimming pool for just 6 units was lovely and most often it was empty. Covered assigned parking was a nice feature. The master bathroom got overrun with little tiny ants. They devoured the toilet paper for some reason. We got some ant traps and raid and that helped. Ocean waves crashing were loud as is the road noise. Overall, this is perfectectly situated and has beautiful views. Other than that, requires much updating

We really enjoyed our stay. Only a couple of small issues. . . I think the couch in the living room is uncomfortable and could use some updating. Minor repair needed on the kitchen oven.
Biggest issue was code was deactivated before the check out time and we almost found ourselves locked out as we were packing our car.

Reviewer Comments:
Kona vacation got us a rental on a couple hrs notice which was very lucky. Loved the property, nice pool , kinda noisy but that can only be expected when you stay on the main drag. The place was clean but did need some deep cleaning, like dead bugs in the lights, but once again there is a lot of bugs in Hawaii so that is to be expected. We would certainly stay again and or recommend it to anyone else.
