Everything about the property was spot on as advertised. Very clean and awesome view...right on the beach!! The one and only thing was the a/c was out. We were notified before we arrived. Nothing could be done due to parts being unavailable. There was a free standing a/c unit put in the bedroom. It was very comfortable, not hot at all, kinda noisy though. Other than the a/c being out, everything was great! Definitely a repeat visit whenever we're over there again. Location is handy to everything that you'd want...shopping, dining, etc. The host discounted our rate by 20% due to the a/c being out. Very kind gesture.

Sunny and Relaxing
We loved hearing the ocean waves from the condo and seeing the colorful fish and a few sea turtles in the water below. It was great to be close to great restaurants, coffee and shopping, and we found some great beaches 30 min or less in both directions. A great location!

Best view in Kona
The location and view were absolutely stunning! I loved listening to the waves every night. I would definitely come back again. There were two problems. 1) The listing said it had air conditioning. This was not true. There was no central air. There was what looked like a portable air conditioning unit in the closet but there was no mention of this in the listing. I picked this unit because it stated they had ac.2) The shower doors were stuck and could not be moved. If you are larger than a size 10 you could not fit into the shower. The first day we were there we notified Casago of these issues but no one called us back. Despite these issues we would definitely pick this place again as the location and view cannot be beat.

Great location
We loved our stay at Hale Kona Kai. It's a small property that never felt crowded. The only noise was the sound of the ocean. The location couldn't be better. It's a short walk to our favorite restaurants (and coffee shop) in Kailua. It's also literally, right on the ocean. The ocean below was full of colorful fish, the view was expansive and the sunsets were incredible. The pool was newly refurbished and wonderful. It's not huge, but it was never crowded and offered a good amount of shade. It was sparkling clean and the perfect temperature. The less-than-ideal things were that there was no in-room laundry. Each floor has a laundry room, it costs $4 to wash and dry a load. The other was that the office is mostly unattended (open a few hours a day on weekdays) and they can be hard to reach by phone. It didn't cause problems for us, but it might for some. They did give us a very thoughtful gift/momento as an anniversary present which we very much appreciated. All in all, we loved our stay and would stay there again. The location, view, and pool were perfect.

Truly waterfront- and close to town
This is a great, 4th floor unit at Hale Kona Kai. You feel like you're on the prow of a ship- the sea is right there. We enjoyed watching the yellow tang and honu bob in the surf below as we sipped our morning cuppa on the lanai. The unit itself was clean and had most everything we needed. The local property manager was also a great help when the hubs accidentally locked the keys in the unit. And- we love the location, an easy 5 min walk to the shops and restaurants in town.

Hidden Gem with the Best View
This hidden gem location in Kona has the best water view, condo conveniences, and easy walking distance to Kona Village area for shopping, restaurants and activities. It is not a new property but the unit is clean, well kept, the kitchen has all the amenities you would need, and the best balcony location of the complex. You literally are enjoying the view, sound of the ocean and gorgeous sunsets on the balcony because this unit sits right at the shoreline. The balcony is a nice size and somewhat private from most of the complex because of its location on the property. This unit also had a king sized bed which was a plus for us. There is a nice pool which was being refinished while we stayed and laundry facilities on each floor of the complex which was a great convenience since we stayed a week at this location. Check in was super easy and the communication was efficient, thorough and detailed prior to and actually during our stay. We will be staying here again! This unit is a hidden gem for value and location.

Watch the sea life from your lanai
The condo is dated, but the location is convenient and the view is a million bucks.You can see all sorts of fish species (and even sea turtles if you're lucky) right from the balcony and bedroom window. The condo has boogie boards, beach mats, beach towels, a parasol and a cooler.

I couldn’t have been happier. Will come back and stay here again. Because it was stocked with cooler and snorkeling equipment we were able to explore and try snorkeling for the first time and then we were addicted and did it every day in a new location.

Awesome place and location
Nice clean place with everything you need. The mirror wall makes it look even spacier. The location is great: a beach and restaurants are a couple of minutes away (walking). Safeway and WM are also very close (driving). I worked from there, and the Internet connection was stable and fast. Couldn't make the TV work, but it didn't bother us because we used our laptops. And of course the ocean is right under your balcony is priceless. One day a cruise ship parked right in front of our balcony. Great memories.

Excellent location, literally on the water. But apartment shows its age.
This is absolutely the best location if you are looking for a) proximity to the ocean and b) view of the sunset. If you drop a pebble from a arm's length off of the lanai, it will hit the water. The lanai view is almost 160 degrees of ocean, so the (spectacular) sunset is just to the middle-right of your view. In terms of proximity, Hale Kona Kai is a six minute walk to the main Kona strip, so very easy to get to all of the down-town attractions. But it is far enough away from downtown that the street isn't busy or noisy. It is a 10-minute drive to grocery shopping, gas and stores like Walmart and Target. About 20 minutes from Costco, and easy access to Highway 19 / 11, that circumnavigates the island. The apartment and complex is very clean, but does show it age (built in 1972, with some obvious remodeling since). The salt-air has also been hard on it, causing some corosion and damage to surfaces. Items like the loose bathroom door, that were mentioned in previous reviews, were not fixed. As mentioned in the listing (July 2022) the central A/C is broken so the apartment has two portable air conditioners and two large fans. These work fine to keep the unit cool, but cause enough of a din to drown out even the sound of the waves right below. So, our best advice is: if you are looking for a stunning ocean view and proximity, and can sacrifice the feeling of being at a modern property, this is a great find. Mahalo!

Great location, but needs a hug.
The location was great...short walk to town, but far enough away from all the business noise. View from the balcony was amazing, ocean is right in your face. Short walk to a public beach too where you can watch people surf. Pool was nice, water was a little too cold. Used BBQ once and it worked great. Loved the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler...along with other stuff. Bathroom doorknob is in need of repair and bottom of door is splintering. Toilet seat is loose and moved around. To be fair, we were warned central a/c was broken and portable a/c units were in unit. Portable units worked well, but bedroom unit was too noisy to sleep...we ended up buying ear plugs. Not enough supplies for 12 days as far as toilet paper and trash bags. Utensils and small appliances like coffee maker, coffee grinder and toaster need replacement. Coffee grinder broke when we had 3 days left. I called property management twice (2 separate days) to report problem and get a replacement because we couldn't make coffee. No one called back so we gave up. Coffee maker hotplate is very rusty and pieces are falling off. Toaster works but has damaged elements. Teflon pots and pans are so scratched you'd get teflon in your food if you use them, so we bought a brand new one and left it there. Some homeless people camping in cars by complex, but they are not a problem. One day, we heard yelling and profanity...a homeless man and another man were yelling at each other in parking lot. One morning at 5AM, we heard frantic knocking at our door and we got up. Someone wanted in and obviously had the wrong unit...had to yell at them to leave. The unit was clean and reasonably priced with a nice location. The condo unit and the complex is showing it's age and needs updates and some minor fixes to make it truly enjoyable.

You look out over the lanai and directly below is the surf. The lanai is also perfect for watching sunsets. Great walking location to restaurants and farmers market. Parking location is very convenient.
