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!
Aloha Gayle,
Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful 5-star review and for taking the time to share your experience at the Kona Tipsy Turtle!
Weâre 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. We believe that after a long journey, itâs the small detailsâa basket of fresh island fruit, a few treats, and even quarters for laundryâthat can help make a stay feel more like home.
Weâre also happy to hear that you appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of Hale Kona Kai. Many of our guests treasure the quiet setting, along with the soothing sound of the waves and the opportunity to relax right on the oceanâs edge.
Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to the Kona Tipsy Turtle the next time your travels bring you to the Big Island.
With warm aloha,

Aloha Gary,
Mahalo for your wonderful 5-star review and for choosing to stay with us again â we truly appreciate your continued support. Iâm so glad you mentioned the covered on-site parking; it really is a nice perk, especially these days when parking in Kona can be hard to come by. One of our favorite things about the condo is its central oceanfront location in the heart of Kona, making it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and all the nearby amenities.
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
The unit was beautifully updated and clean. The view was incredible too. All of Kona was accessible by walkingâŠ.which made the location super convenient
Mahalo for your kind words! đș
Weâre so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Kona Tipsy Turtle and appreciated the recent updates and cleanliness of the condo. We agree â the oceanfront views are truly something special, and itâs hard to beat being able to watch the waves, whales, turtles, dolphins, and Konaâs famous Yellow Tang fish right from the lanai.
One of our favorite things about the location is exactly what you mentioned â being able to walk to all the shops, restaurants, and activities in Kailua-Kona makes the experience so relaxing and convenient.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and weâd love to welcome you back anytime youâre ready for another dose of sunshine and ocean breezes in Kona! đâïž
Aloha NickâŠ. Mahalo for your kind words! Weâre so happy you felt at home and enjoyed the Christmas decorations, welcome treats, and beach equipment.

Our stay was amazing. The place was Awsome. The views even better. The host was so on top of everything even sending someone to check on us during the crazy storm. The welcoming gifts were amazing. It was a wonderful place to celebrate turning 60. It was super clean and had every kitchen appliance known to man. The extra beach stuff and beach bag and backpack were oboe and beyond. I would definitely stay here again.
Mahalo nui loa for such a glowing reviewâwe are truly honored you chose the Kona Tipsy Turtle to celebrate your 60th birthday! đ It means so much to hear that you enjoyed the views, the amenities, and all the little extras we try to provide to make your stay special.
Iâm especially glad you felt well taken care of during the stormâthat peace of mind is so important when youâre visiting the islands. And it makes me smile knowing the beach gear and welcome gifts helped make your experience even more memorable.
Thank you again for your kind words and for being such wonderful guests. You are welcome back anytimeâthere will always be a spot for you at the Kona Tipsy Turtle đ â±ïž
Mahalo for your glowing 5-star review! Weâre thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our oceanfront condo in Kona. It warms our hearts to know that you felt at home and appreciated the beautiful view and were able to take that epic rainbow đ photo over the ocean from the lanai. AWESOME
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!
Aloha Thomas! Mahalo for your 5-star review. We appreciate you mentioning the amenities and personal touches. We strive to create a relaxing environment for our guests, and itâs wonderful to hear that you found it to be a perfect vacation oasis. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable vacation in paradise!

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!
Mahalo for such a thoughtful and detailed review! Weâre so happy to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the condo and were still able to experience so much from the lanai â even with Januaryâs unpredictable weather. Watching the whales, spinner dolphins, turtles, and even the eels right from the condo truly is something special, and weâre glad you were able to enjoy that magic.
Thank you as well for the kind words about the kitchen and welcome basket â we love making our guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for calmer seas and more beautiful ocean moments in the future! đđ
The unit was very well stocked for any need you may have. It is within walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The view was amazing and the sunsets never disappointed. The host was most generous with their thoughtful gifts to celebrate our anniversary.
Mahalo Tiffany for your kind words! Weâre so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the condo had everything you needed. Itâs wonderful that you were able to take advantage of the great location, and we couldnât agree moreâthe sunsets here truly are unforgettable! Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos!
Weâre especially glad the special touches helped make your anniversary even more memorable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and weâd love to welcome you back anytime youâre in Kona again.
Warmest aloha,
Steven
We had a wonderful stay at the Tipsy Turtle! This was our first time visiting the Big Island and this condo was perfect! Itâs in a great location to drive to other areas of the island, and a short walk into town for dinner and shopping. The condo had everything we needed and more. The hosts left us a welcome gift with water, snacks, coffee and fruit. They even left quarters and soap for a load of laundry. All of which we thought was very thoughtful. The view from the lanai was perfect for morning coffee and cocktails in the evening. Being able to see fish from the lanai and hearing the waves while falling asleep was awesome. We visited Volcanoes National Park, went snorkeling, spent time at the beach, kayaked in the ocean and went for a night snorkel with Manta Rays. Coming back to this condo after our adventures left us feeling relaxed and happy. Thank you!
Aloha Heather,
Mahalo nui loa for your absolutely beautiful reviewâand for sharing those stunning sunset photos from the lanaiâŠthey never get old, and weâre so glad you captured their magic! đ
Weâre thrilled to hear that your first visit to the Big Island was such a memorable one, and that the Kona Tipsy Turtle was the perfect home base for your adventures. It sounds like you truly made the most of everything Kona has to offerâfrom HawaiÊ»i Volcanoes National Park to snorkeling, kayaking, and even the unforgettable manta ray night diveâŠwhat an incredible itinerary!
It means so much to us that you appreciated the little touchesâthose are exactly the kinds of details we hope help our guests feel welcomed, cared for, and right at home from the moment they arrive. And we couldnât agree moreâŠthereâs nothing quite like sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a cocktail at sunset while listening to the waves and spotting fish right from the lanai.
Weâre truly grateful you chose to stay with us for your Big Island getaway, and we would be honored to welcome you back anytime for another slice of paradise at the Kona Tipsy Turtle.
With warmest aloha,
Jenni & Steven đčđș
Beautiful well-located condo on the ocean with everything we needed!
The unit was a dream! Very walkable location to the downtown shops and restaurants, well-stocked with everything we needed, extremely comfortable and loved hearing the sound of the waves crash on the rocks!
What a fantastic property! This was our first year without our adult children for Thanksgiving and our first extended stay on the âBig Islandâ! It was a much needed rest from our crazy worlds. We loved the LÄnaâi in the mornings and evenings (look for all the fish & turtles), the walking distance to downtown (we never ate at the same place twice), and the central location to either explore north or south. We even got to see Kilauea active lava flow before episode 37.
Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review! đș
Weâre so grateful you chose to spend such a special Thanksgivingâyour first on the Big Island and your first without your adult childrenâat our oceanfront condo. It means a lot to know the space provided the rest and reset you needed.
Weâre thrilled you enjoyed the LÄnaâi (the turtles and fish are our favorite morning visitors too!), the easy walk to town, and the perfect home base for exploring both north and south. And how amazing that you were able to witness KÄ«laueaâs lava flowâsuch a unforgettable experience!
Thank you again for being such thoughtful guests. Weâd be honored to welcome you back whenever the islands call you again. đŽâš
A hui hou,
Steven
I'm sorry you didn't feel we deserved a 5 star review. We strive very hard to make sure your stay is exceptional. You left a very nice message in our guest book located inside the condo which we appreciate very much. We wish that message refected in your review on VRBO.
Had a comfortable stay in an ideal location. Dining, shopping and sight seeing were readily available. The facilities were nice for staying in and relaxing. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
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.
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.
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"!
