We had a lovely stay, the property is beautiful and very clean! Stunning views of the ocean and the laundry room was a massive bonus, especially as it is kitted out of its body boards, snorkeling gear, beach chairs etc! A great stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Just an FYI, the toaster could do with being replaced but no complaints from us at all. Thanks for having us.

We had a fantastic experience staying at this home. It truly made the vacation. The space very clean, well appointed, and equipped with everything needed to make the stay easier. It also had a variety of recreational items that made going to the beach or anywhere on the island stress-free. All of that, combined with the views from the porch and the quiet neighborhood made the stay both cozy and relaxing. The photos of the space accurately reflect how amazing it is, and we felt it was a rare find among vacation homes. Can’t wait to come back sometime in the future.

Amazing stay

We had a wonderful stay here! I was a little nervous about no AC but being up the mountain it was beautiful. When we lost power for a short time they immediately reached out to us to keep us informed. If I’m ever back on the big island again I will definitely stay here again. My nephew loved our friendly balcony geckos.

This place is amazing. Modern and beautiful. The lanai was amazing. Loved this beautiful place. We could hear the upstairs tenants walking around late at night, but that was minor. It’s like a rainforest getaway with beautiful views.

Everything was great!

Very clean! Perfect size for family of 4 to come back to and rest every evening after going out to explore the island every day. Very convenient to airport. Very relaxing front porch and very well stocked with all our needs. Great selection of beach chairs and swimming gear for us to use while staying as well! Highly, highly, highly recommend this place. Thanks again for helping us make great memories on our first trip to Hawaii!!

Fit our families needs perfectly! Great view, host was very responsive, and the beach gear was a nice added bonus. We stayed in the lower level, it can get a little noisy depending who’s upstairs, but overall it wasn’t an issue for us.

Fantastic property!

Beautiful! Very clean, roomy, and inviting. Beds are super comfortable with top notch bedding. The closets are roomy and come with plenty of hangers. Large living area with great furnishings. The kitchen is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the sunset. Although beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, and a little soft-sided cooler are available, chairs are older, one of the umbrellas was broken (which we didn't find out until trying to set it up on the beach), and the cooler was ripped. Boogie boards were great. Still, we loved our stay and would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Bollinger

Host profile image
Local owner (40+ year Kona resident) is happy to share favorite island locations and to answer any and all questions regarding the beautiful Big Island.

Why they chose this property

When I first moved to Kona (over 40 years ago) I got a place right on the beach . . . but I could NOT take the intense heat, so I've lived "Up Mauka" at a cooler elevation ever since.
Love the beach - but also love having a cool and comfy retreat (from the sticky heat) to come home to. It's much more pleasant to relax in the cool and comfy as opposed to the hot and sticky. And EVERYTHING is literally minutes away. The best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

NOT a stifling Condo in hot and humid areas of Kona where you need air-conditioning! RATHER, Kona Hale is located in Mauka Kona where cool ocean and mountain breezes flow through the spacious home. You have use of our Boogie Boards, Snorkels, Masks and Fins, Beach Towels and Chairs. A local convenience market with adjacent restaurant is only 1 mile away. Be sure to get the inside scoops on "What's Hot and What's Not" on our beautiful Big Island of Hawaii from your Host and...enjoy!
