The tipsy turtle is a Kona gem, the condo is decorated with turtles throughout which was adorable. The place was spotless everything and anything you needed was just a 5 min walk away and what a beautiful view. The condo was cooled down for us when we got there which was a big plus for us since we had been traveling all day. The owners did a great job.thank you AJ

Aloha AJ! 🌺🐢 Mahalo so much for the wonderful 5-star review! I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay at the Tipsy Turtle and all of our little turtle touches throughout the condo. 🐢💕 I’m especially glad you appreciated arriving to a cool, comfortable condo after a long day of traveling. We really try to think about those little details that make our guests feel at home from the moment they walk through the door. And that view… it never gets old! 🌊🌅 We feel incredibly lucky to have such a special oceanfront spot while still being just a short walk from everything in Kona. Mahalo again for choosing the Tipsy Turtle. It was a pleasure having you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another Kona getaway someday! Steven & Jenni

Keeping our guests informed and comfortable is incredibly important to us, especially when Mother Nature decides to add a little unexpected excitement to a Big Island vacation! And thank you for your patience with the garbage disposal—we’re glad we were able to get it taken care of right away. It was truly a pleasure having you as our guest, Tony.

Aloha Shelley & Scott, Wow…thank you so much for such an incredible review! Reading your kind words truly made our day. It means the world to us that you felt so at home and enjoyed everything from the spectacular oceanfront views and unforgettable sunsets to the sea turtles, tropical fish, and peaceful mornings on the lanai. We loved seeing the beautiful photos you shared—they perfectly captured the magic that makes the Kona Tipsy Turtle so special. Those quiet breakfasts overlooking the Pacific and the colorful evening skies are some of our favorite moments too. We put a lot of heart into making sure our guests have everything they need, so hearing that you appreciated the beach gear, well-stocked kitchen, updated décor, and little welcome touches like the fresh fruit basket and chocolates means more than you know. Mahalo for choosing the Kona Tipsy Turtle and for sharing such wonderful memories with future guests. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime.

Our recent stay at the “Tipsy Turtle”was absolutely exceptional! The direct oceanfront location as well as the top floor accommodations were perfect for our trip.The cleanliness and attention to detail in the unit was impeccable. (and I am picky…lol) The unit had everything we needed to have an incredible stay while on the Big Island, not only while in the unit, but also for adventures to the beach. The communication with the host was prompt and they answered any questions and offered suggestions in a very timely manner. We will definitely be returning soon and we can and cannot say enough good things about booking this property. Mahalo Jenni and Steve for a beautiful stay!

Excellent condo directly on the oceanfront. The photos and description are accurate. The hosts were communicative and responsive to any questions. The kitchen was well stocked (no running to the store to get salt and pepper) and the unit was clean. As noted by previous guests, the hosts provide lovely little touches such as a fruit basket and coins for a load of laundry. The complex is very quiet, so I would be hesitant to take young children with me to this location. Highly recommend!

We’re delighted to hear that the condo lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed our oceanfront location, well-stocked kitchen, and the little touches we love providing for our guests.

Many of our guests treasure the quiet setting, along with the soothing sound of the waves and the opportunity to relax right on the ocean’s edge.

This Condo was absolutely AMAZING! All of the thoughtful details, decor and amenities show the care that the Hosts have for making sure you have a great stay. There is abundance of Kitchen "Accessories" and some Beach Gear, for almost anything you would want to do.This really should be a 4.75 Star rating but that wasn't an option. The only downside to this amazing Condo was the Bedroom. The bed mattress was very uncomfortable with what seemed to be a "Memory Foam" topper that had too much "Memory". Also, there was no way to not have the sunlight coming through the huge window, so it got very bright in the morning once the sun came up.However, I don't think you could find better Hosts and it's in a great location with assigned covered parking and literally right on the Ocean.

This was our 4th stay at Hale Kona Kai but our first stay in this unit and it was by far our favorite! They thought of every thing you could possibly need to have available. They even left fresh fruit, coffee, candy and change for the laundry room if needed. The decor is so fun and the balcony was our favorite place to hang out and watch the sunset. The bed was comfortable and the A/C and celing fans kept the place nice and cool. We will be back for sure!

The condo is wonderful, well cared for and very comfortable. January weather is always a gamble and the storms kept the water activities to a minimum, but the location and comfort of the condo made up for it. The surf was high but the whales were close. The spinner dolphins danced daily, the turtles came when they could and the eels were active in the pools. All from the lanai. Well stocked kitchen and extremely nice welcome basket. So nice!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Lee

Host profile image
I relocated to the Big Island in the 1980s and had a long career as a general contractor. Since my retirement in 2020, I'm now able to fully enjoy my favorite hobbies, one of which includes deep-sea fishing! I love this beautiful island I call home.

Why they chose this property

This unit is not only in the heart of Kona Town, but also captures the beautiful oceanfront scenery that Kona is known for. Great eateries are within walking distance and you watch the marine life and popular water activities from the lanai.

What makes this property unique

I personally remolded this unit to ensure a beautiful visit upon entry. The attention to detail seamlessly flows from the front door all the way through to the Pacific Ocean horizon. Truly the best kind of "blues"!
