Oceanfront Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A perfect retreat for our family! Hale Honu was well located, spacious and had all the amenities at our fingertips. We left with fond memories of the sound of powerful waves crashing against the lava rocks and the gorgeous sunsets viewed from the outside verandas. Truly a home away from home!

Beautiful View Kona home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our stay in Kona. The house has a beautiful view and is located close enough to beach, dining, shopping etc. It was clean and well stocked, but is showing some sign of age and exposure to salt air. That said, I would gladly stay here again next time to Kona

Spectacular views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We took our grown children and spouses (8+ baby) to the Big Island and stayed in this beautiful home. The views were amazing. Several of the dolphin excursion boat trips come just a few hundred yards away, which means you get to see lots of Dolphins. They had beach towels to golf clubs available. Fantastic stay!

Great property & location!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location! There were a few minor maintenance issues, with were quickly dealt with by the management company. This is a very nice property. We would rent this again, we had a great time! The only suggestion I would make, is to send a more comprehensive set of instructions prior to arrival.

Beautiful View

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and view from this house was stunning. The sound of the waves crashing all night lulled us to sleep! We saw dolphins and many fish from the lani's. I have to say though that some updating of the windows and screens are much needed. Very tough to open and close! Also, we arrived after a very long flight to a very hot house! We had chosen no A/C, so a good idea for the next renters, to have some windows open the day of arrival to allow the house to cool down.

A house that made our holiday special!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The perfect place for our family for a perfect week. At breakfast the first morning we saw spinner dolphins from the wide-open-patio-doors as we ate. At lunch on day 3 we watched a whale swim north along the shore. On our last night we saw an unparallelled sunset. We walked north 5 minutes to go boogie-boarding; south 5 minutes to snorkel. Each night we fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing just in front of our windows. It was brilliant. A few screens and windows and patio locks were rusted shut or open from sea-mist - it made no difference at all to the fantastic experience we had here. We cant wait to come again.

Overall Pleasant Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: overall was a great stay at the property. spacious, clean, and well-stocked with amenities especially towels. also the views are amazing. as the back part of the property faces west, sunsets were visible every single night and also we were able to see the moonset as well in the early hrs of the morning before the sun came up.at check-in, the property was a bit hot since it was in the dead of summer and we did have to use the a/c and it was a painless process since the property manager was easily reachable and professional.the property manager was easy to deal with and communicated well and quickly.staying here i would definitely recommend having a vehicle as there really isn't anything closely walkable from here. the coconut grove marketplace is a few miles away. the property is gated that would fit one vehicle inside.there are a few minor things that could use a bit more upkeep (windows, screens, etc) but nothing that really impacted our stay.would recommend staying at this property

Hale Honu Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Would recommend to others and will re-book Hale Honu. Property is accurately described. Pictures do not do the location justice. We saw dolphins and humpbacks every day of our stay from the many decks. The swimming and snorkling off the property beach is very good however the rocky entry/exit points would not be suitable for children or weak swimmers due to the surf. The beach a short walk away is sandy and loaded with sea turtles. Fish can be caught off the rocks using local methods. Location cannot be beat as it is close to all amenities of Kona but secluded enough for ample privacy and again, the views from everywhere in the house are spectacular. Only downside is we did not get much use out of the wading pool and hot tub as they not ideally situated (street side) but hot tub is nice for a quick warmup after swimming. Garage is well equipped with alot of extra toys and snorkling gear left behind by former renters. Help yourself to my two fishing poles!

Wonderful Christmas Vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location cannot be beat - you literally feel like you are on a cruise ship - looking out every window (including one of the showers!), all you see is the beautiful water! Waves were huge the week we were there (Christmas 2014), and we had to close the windows at night to sleep, and even then, you could hear the waves crashing against the rocks below! We saw whales and dolphins off the lanai's. So nice to sit outside with a cup of coffee or a cocktail and enjoy the views and sunsets. There were tons of things to use in the garage (coolers, chairs, umbrellas). Walking distance to the great snorkel beach as well as Magic Sands, but no swimming in front of the house. On the downside (but nothing hampered our trip), the jacuzzi heater wasn't working (but the property mgr worked with us on that), and the air conditioning downstairs didn't work (not a huge deal except when we first got there and it was real stuffy). There is a grocery store real close. Any issues were quickly addressed. We loved our stay at Hale Honu over Christmas! If you go on a snorkel trip, we highly recommend the Fair Winds tour!

Great location,

This house sits on the ocean just outside Kona. It’s big and perfect for a larger family with four bedrooms upstairs. The lanais overlook the ocean with sunsets and even dolphins in view. It is very well equipped and the small pool and warm tub are perfect for families with small kids. Swimming or snorkeling out back is possible, but seems dangerous with a the waves breaking into lava rocks. The problem with this property is the upkeep on this property and the management company. For example, we were quite excited to see bikes in the garage, but they were both broken. Chairs on the lower area , but again broken. Cleanliness was OK. Our big issue came on day two of a ten day stay when in July the AC went out on the upper floor where the bedrooms are. We reported this to the management company no less than three times and they failed to get it fixed for the next 8 days we stayed there and failed to make sure the AC company showed up and failed to communicate with us and then asked us to pay for half the AC bill ($35/night) after checkout since the downstairs AC still worked. Without AC on the upper floors, rooms were 80+ degrees and one guest slept on the couch downstairs to keep cool. Again, great location, poorly managed.

Great view but poor condition

Walking in the views of the ocean are beautiful. However, the first drawer we opened in the kitchen revealed two roaches running around. Those two had a big week they were in the drawer again later in the week. A few hours later a large roach cruised across the kitchen floor. All in all many more roaches were encountered. The next evening we tried to use the TV following the directions in the book but the TV and cable would not come on. Turns out after trying to diagnose for 10 mins we discovered there were no batteries in the remote. Luckily the third remote contained batteries and we were able to power on the TV/cable. Morning breakfast was an adventure turns out some of the cookware doesn’t activate the convection stove top. We called to report the burners not working but after trying a few other pans in the cabinet the copper color pans would activate the convection process. The bathroom sink in the master as the top of the steps doesn’t work on the cold water side. Finally, the shower at the top of the steps leaks through the kitchen light onto the stove. We had seven people in this location and being down one shower was a real inconvenience. Looking back at an number of the reviews of this location it turns out this shower has been leaking for years. I took picture to document much of these issues but it turns out they can’t be uploaded here. Last there are boards falling off the exterior the picture on this site is not recent.

Kona Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property itself has a great location and plenty of room. As others have commented, it is not the best place as far as upkeep. Lots of little things that could be fixed (i.e. hole in the kitchen ceiling, broken seals on doors, etc.) I know that bugs are common to the area, but it seemed that there was an abundance. Perhaps the pest control services need to be upgraded.

Gorgeous view

The house was great! Some of the furniture was a little outdated, but it still was comfortable. The property manager was very hard to deal with, and it does not tell you in the review were in the description that one of the bathrooms is not accessible. so we looked for a house for four couples with four bedrooms and four bathrooms thinking that they were all usable. One bathroom leaked onto the kitchen stove and when we asked about it, he said we weren’t supposed to use it. Property manager never told us that then we also asked for the air to be put on and it didn’t work and we had to have the air conditioning people come out and fix the air. The thermostat didn’t show what temperature it was on and it didn’t go on and off correctly. The house had a beautiful view of the back yard, which was the ocean and it was in good condition but for overall, if a bathroom doesn’t work, I wouldn’t listed as a working one and charge people for it. The only thing the property manager did was refund the air condition because it cost to turn the air conditioner on, I would not recommend dealing with him ever again!

The area was a great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The kitchen was very well stocked. Great area. The view was amazing! Pictures on sight a a little deceiving. The house could use a little tlc. We had problems with the fans, one could be fixed the otero could not. Two of the bed in the bedrooms we broken. The dryer kept saying clean lint trap out when there was nothing in it. It could have been a little cleaner. Our feet were always black when walking on floor without shoes. Most of the outside lights did not work. We called on Saturday for some of the issues and had to wait until Monday for handyman to come.

Beautiful View but the house needs care

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house got a billion dollar view but the house needs a major repair. We had multiple issues during our stay (two many). The management was very responsive and gave us a huge discount. They said they will repair the house thoroughly before renting it out again so hopefully it works out. I hope for the best for the management too since they are really nice and I forgot all the issues we had and miss the view already!

Beautiful House on the Ocean

When first walking into the house it is beautiful. It was perfect for our family in the end but would not have been a good choice if our one handicap person had been able to come (no bedrooms on main floor, expect sleeping space in garage). We loved the view and the awesome sunsets. The house a couple malfunctions while there...we were unable to use the upstairs hall shower as it leaked from above through a light onto the stove. Also we had heavy rain one of the nights and there was an area in the 2nd primary bedroom that had a sagging ceiling and water leaked out onto my family's luggage. I spoke with the property manager and he said he would attempt to get someone out to look at it but I never saw anyone during the rest of our stay. Definitely get the AC while at the house. It would be way to stuff without it.

Perfect house for our family group!

This home was everything we were hoping for and MORE! The deck off the main floor was a favorite hangout for reading or sipping coffee or a glass of wine and listening to the waves crashing. We could see school of fish in the water close to us and groups of dolphins and many boats going by further out. The ocean breezes helped keep the house comfortable despite the warmth and humidity , and we loved sleeping to the sounds of the crashing waves. The home is very well stocked in the kitchen and the clean and pleasant garage has ample beach supplies, including a pop up sun dome to protect the babies (or pale Oregonian adults) at the beach. Our family group of 6 adults and two infants were very comfortable in the 4 bedrooms and the bathrooms are very nice . If we return to KONA we will definitely ask for the same home!

Great home for a family group

We had 7 adults and one teenager. We loved the location of the house and listening to and watching the waves crash on the rugged coast. It was hypnotic. It is located between two beaches, both about a half mile away, easily walkable. The home is very convenient with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The kitchen is the most stocked with utensils and cookware and bowls of any rental I have ever been in, plus basic food supplies. Lots of balconies for everyone to enjoy. Lots of beach towels for guests to use and water toys (boogie boards, noodles, snorkel gear and beach chairs) Hope we can come back again.
