Guest Reviews
Hale Kipa
We had a fabulous week
by Maria
5/5
We had a fabulous week with our grown children and their partners. The separate bedrooms gave everyone their space and then we came together around the kitchen, dining room and pool. Amazing views and we even saw manta rays and dolphins from the deck! Just make sure to follow rules about cleanliness to keep out the bugs!
the house fit our family nicely
by Maria
5/5
Thank you for a wonderful place to stay! We loved Hale Kipa! The location was perfect and the house fit our family nicely. All of your instructions were clear and easily followed. We hope everyone is okay after the hurricane.
This house was an amazing retreat
by Ana
4/5
This house was an amazing retreat for a multigenerational family/friend vacation. We loved the space and view as well as being able to take short walks to snorkel, beach comb, swim and boogie/body board. Highly recommend! Note: there are no internal stairs between floors in case you’re wondering ☺️
Great Social Gathering Space
by Ryan
5/5
We loved the views and listening the waves crash on the lava rocks. The house itself is well kept up and offered right mix of privacy with many nice bedrooms and bathrooms plus great social gathering space. We spent most of our time on the lanai. Pool was larger than I thought from the pics, though do wish it was heated (our only area for improvement). Easy 10 min walk to awesome snorkeling/surfing beach to the south and 15 in walk to Magic Sands beach to the north.
Loved the view and the proximity
by Krysta
5/5
Loved the view and the proximity to the beaches and town. Parking was tough as the property only accommodates two cars, any additional cars would need to park on the street. The house was spacious and we loved the separate space downstairs for our adult children. Great lanai to watch whales and sunsets!
all spectacular
by Adrian
5/5
Everything about this property including the views, the location, the well stocked house of games and towels, the fantastic kitchen and rooms were all spectacular. Enjoy a splash in the pool or enjoying your coffee/evening cocktail watching the waves, boats and whales! The beaches were a short walk away and there were many shops and restaurants close by. We had a family of 5 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of space to spread out and sleep and loved listening to the sound of the crashing waves. We area already trying to figure out when we can come back!
Perfect location and stunning views
by Ryan
5/5
Our family loved our stay at this property. The location is perfect. Is close enough to Kona to be very convenient but far enough to be quiet. You can hear the ocean waves and see surfers at the beach to the south. We would highly recommend this property. The hosts had very clear communication and procedures.
Mahalo for having been our guest and for taking the time to share with us your recent stay. We are pleased to learn that you enjoyed your stay. It has been a pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you back the next time your travels bring you to the Big Island!
Mahalo,
Kona Coast Vacations
ocean & the waves were a treat
by Terry
5/5
We had a great time & enjoyed our stay. Our family group included Grandparents, 3 middle aged adults & 3 young adults (20,18 & 16). Everyone had space to enjoy the company or take a little time to themselves. Pool was great. Downstairs suites were suited to young adults, not likely a good fit for young children. Entry to it was through the outside stairs. Upstairs was nicely laid out & well stocked. Nice to have private bathrooms for each upstairs bedroom. Downstairs shared one bathroom. All had showers. Lots of room for everyone. We were all from the Canadian prairies so the ocean & the waves were a treat. We had a couple items that needed attention & the property manager was very helpful & prompt in helping us out. Easy to contact thru email. Pictures on the rental site are quite accurate. Would recommend this vacation home.
Hale Kipa rocks!!
by Jim
5/5
Hale Kipa rocks!! What a house! right on the water, you hear the surf crashing against the rocks 24/7. Negative edge pool looking right out on the ocean. Super bedrooms (and each of the 5 large bedrooms has its own private bath). Great (and large) back deck to grill, eat, watch the sunset, dry off from the pool, etc etc etc. All the appliances, and they all work - super well maintained property. We REALLY didn't want to leave!!
Great Ocean House
by Katherine
5/5
Great ocean house. The downstairs was a little warmer , and the down stairs was a little musty , being a downstairs room. But in all a GREAT house.
Great location for family and friends
by Dalyn
5/5
Very great location for family and friends Property gives everyone their own space
Very Happy with the House
by Lisa
5/5
The house presented like it did in the listing. It was clean and well stocked with supplies. The view of the ocean was spectacular. We could see whales, dolphins and beautiful sunsets from our deck. There were wonderful sea creatures in the tide pools on the rocks. We all were very happy with this house.
Beautiful Ocean Front House
by Charlie
5/5
Beautiful house right on the ocean with a great view. Within walking distance of a decent snorkeling area and beginner surfing area. It worked well for our extended family of 8 (ages 8 to 71), with plenty of room to spread out and plenty of bathrooms/showers. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious. While we were there, a strong storm knocked out power to quite a bit of the Kona area, and when power was restored it had rendered the water heater ineffective (not quite sure how). They sent someone promptly to fix it (thanks!), and while it took a while to diagnose the issue, it was fixed quickly enough that it did not adversely affect us. There was an air conditioner unit in the downstairs two-bedroom space, but it had to work pretty hard and was pretty loud. The afternoon sun shown directly in through large sliding glass doors. Perhaps there is a way to add retractable blinds that could help?
Great retreat
by Tamora
5/5
This was a great retreat. Went there with family for a quick getaway surprise for my dad. The place is very spacious with enough room to spread out for everyone. There is a separate entrance for the two lower level bedrooms that isn't connected to the main home. Not a big deal for us, but I wouldn't put kids down there if possible. Unobstructed views of the ocean, quick walk to the best snorkeling spots, and a private pool when you want time alone. Each room had it's own bathroom (except the downstairs bedrooms) which was a great touch. Private parking garage. Everything was perfect! There was one thing that freaked us all out (but is just the nature of staying right on the water). There was a roach the size of half my hand from finger tip to the bottom of my palm in the kitchen. I've never even imagined a roach that big in my life. We literally sat looking at it for 2 minutes wondering if because of the size it was some other type of tropical insect, but it was indeed a roach. But the only one we saw. I'm not sure how it got in there, since we were diligent about keeping the screens and sliders closed, but they sent someone straightaway to set a trap which was great. We were leaving the next day, but were freaked out enough to just stop using the kitchen. And we did keep the kitchen pretty spotless based on the handbook guidance. I'm not sure where that bug ended up, but it wasn't in our luggage when we left so good enough. Just keep the sliders closed at all times to lessen the critters I guess. Not even sure if that's how it got in. Overall, I would stay again but would ask them to set traps before we got there JUST in case.
Fantastic
by Robert
5/5
We had a fantastic time in Hawaii, on the Big Island, at Hale Kipa! House was perfect for our family...we loved the location, so near to beaches and not too far from shopping/dining...and, the views of the sunsets from our lanai were spectacular!
We were also very impressed with ALL the staff at Kona Coast Vacations. From David, our concierge, to the customer service staff, the gardener and handy man, everyone was professional, friendly, respectful and very responsive to our needs.
Home has a nice flow
by Robert
5/5
The openness of Hale Kipa was great for family interaction...the flow of the kitchen, dining and living rooms made it easy for all of us to enjoy each other's continued company without feeling cramped. The location is great for beaches, walking/jogging and good proximity to shopping and dining. And, the views of the nightly sunsets were amazing! We still recommend that the owners consider adding a couple of air conditioners to the lower level...as the sun sets and hits the house directly, those rooms do get WARM. Everything else is fantastic!
Amazing Stay
by George
5/5
Thank you for an amazing stay at Hale Kipa. This is our 2nd time staying with Kona coast and I wouldn't consider anyone else other than Kona coast. The properties are exactly as described and the communication and assistance is unsurpassed. We had 3 couples in Hale Kipa right on the water and had an absolutely amazing time. The property was honestly better than we expected and every detail was addressed for a perfect stay.

Perfect Size For Our Family
by Cora And Tom
5/5
Our stay at the Hale Kipa was wonderful. It was the perfect size for our family. We had a couple maintenance issue which were addressed immediately. MUCH appreciated.
Keeping the downstairs unit cooled was an issue, but the portable air conditioner helped. We truly appreciated the thorough communications we had with Kona Coast vacations.

Beautiful Sunsets
by Steven
5/5
Was a great location with beautiful sunsets every night. If they could figure out how to get some AC for the downstairs, and do a little updating on the house it would be perfect. We were there when temperatures were fairly mild, and did not feel the downstairs was usable.
Great Place To Stay!
by Jill
4/5
OK, overall, this property was great. It's well taken care of and also well-stocked with everything you might need - from umbrellas, to beach towel, to boogie boards and beach chairs, to coffee and spices. Everything in the house was top notch and it's clear the owners pay a lot of attention to detail. Even the measuring cups were lined up in a perfect row in one of the kitchen drawers. It was one of the better stocked vacation homes we've rented. The outside of the house is like an oasis. There are a number lanais and decks and you have a very secluded yard with views of the ocean on multiple sides of the house as well as inside the house. The outdoor furniture is nice and it was really enjoyable being outside in the AM and evenings. The house is overall in a good location too. It's walkable to a beach for surfing, very close to Hilo (not walkable, but just a couple of miles away), and a central location for the eastern side of the island. There are only two downsides. First, there is no air conditioning. If you are one who needs it, then be warned. However, there are lots of fans and the house gets a good breeze from the ocean. With cool evenings, I was perfectly comfortable. Second, as one other person mentioned, the houses that share a common drive with this house are not the most well kept. I was a little skeptical when I first drove up to the house about what I was going to see once I got inside, but I assure you that once in the house, it really is like it's own private oasis. I could not see the neighbor's houses from this house and except for driving in and out, I never saw these other houses or heard the neighbors. The homeowner was a great communicator and seemed really nice. too. Overall I recommend it as a great place to stay!
Loved Our Stay!
by Tracey
4/5
Loved our stay, even though we had some issues..the pool was green and unusable for the 1st 3 days. The downstairs was too hot to sleep and is not air conditioned. The upstairs was great and views spectacular!
Paradise is not Overselling this Place
by Teja
5/5
What a beautiful place to spend a week. Paradise is not overselling this place. The location could not be beat. Just minutes away from some of the best snorkeling i have ever seen, and close to town in the other direction. We spent most of our time on the back porch, listening to the waves and enjoying the pool. The home is welcoming and open, with lots of great books on Hawaii and lovely views of the ocean. We never used the downstairs, as there was plenty of room upstairs for the three of us. The beds were comfortable, and the showers lovely. I have nothing but good things to say about Hale Kipa, and Kona Vacations.
Outstanding View!
by Karen
5/5
The view was outstanding. The property was fully equipped and updated. This was one of the best places we have ever stayed at.
Everything went as planned!
by Brandon
5/5
Everything went as planned. Water heater issue was fixed very fast. Air conditioning upstairs was awesome. No air conditioning downstairs was a bummer, would not rent with a big group again because of no downstairs air conditioning. Would rent the upstairs in a heartbeat!!
We'd rent again!
by Jim
5/5
The pictures do not tell the whole story and for a change that's a great thing. You can hear the surf from every corner of the house. Comfortably sleeps an army with privacy galore. Only small criticism is that indoor dining seating is slightly limited (4 at table and 4 at kitchen island) and the kitchen lacked some coffee mugs and wine glasses. Great place that we'd rent again in a minute!
Amazing

We loved this home!
by Diann
5/5
Great view with everything you need for a home away from home. Our family wanted a place that was near surfing, swimming, downtown and toward the South side of Kona so we could get to the southern part of the island quick and without traffic. We were thrilled to have all of this. We also had to work some while there so were happy to experience great WiFi, desks and plenty of workspace. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook, and there are manuals and labels on fixtures for the tech gadgets and switches. The sea front is too rough to swim out from the lanai but the nearby sand beaches are within walking distance. We loved this home!
excellent company
by Nancy
5/5
Great company to work with. Takes care of issues immediately. Very friendly staff. Nice welcome package. Takes care that you are satisfied. Great Conceire if needed. Only issue is trying to make sure my dates are secure for future bookings. I am a multi month renter. They sometimes have a problem with overriding their system to allow for a 3 month rental. Although it worked out in the end. They took care of it. Hopefully it will work in future. Overall excellent company
Great location. Great ocean views.

Absolutely outstanding experience
by Tearlach
5/5
Absolutely outstanding experience. The area is right in the center of Kona with quick access to restaurants, beaches, and local nightlife. The home itself has a beautiful pool that overlooks the beach, and a balcony where we ate many breakfasts and lunches. The views are totally breathtaking. The beds were stylish and comfortable and the showers were very modern. We were extremely impressed with the customer service that was provided by the team as they called no less than 3 times to check up on us. I would highly recommend this home to anybody looking to go to the Big Island and soak up some sun. A truly fabulous vacation
The home is absolutely lovey!
by Marissa & Julie
5/5
The home is absolutely lovey! The views are amazing and the space is very relaxing. All of the rooms are spaced out enough to give everyone some space and privacy. The location is great, close to a grocery store and walking distance to a couple small beaches. We appreciated the cooler provided to take to the beach as well. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property!
Family vacation in Kailua Kona
by Renee
5/5
Hale Kipa was a fantastic property. We planned our family vacation, and the home had plenty of room for everyone. The home was beautiful, and so close to the waves. The sound of the waves at night was wonderful. The sunsets were amazing from the back porch, and our kids enjoyed spending hours in the pool every day. The pool was not harsh with chlorine, and was refreshing to dip in. We would definitely consider staying at the home again in any future visits to the area. Thank you for sharing your home with our family!
Completely Amazing
by Elizabeth
5/5
Our family vacation was absolutely amazing because we had such a beautiful home to stay in. The location could not be any more convenient since it was on Alli Drive. I would tell anyone if they wanted to stay in Kailua-Kona area this is the place to stay. We definitely stay again
We all loved the location - absolutely beautiful!
by Kassandra

The views from this place are fabulous. The downstairs rooms get a bit warm but the host has fans & it was fine. The home is beautiful and you can't beat being right on the ocean.
This is a beautiful home, great for sharing!
by Shaya
5/5
The view is nothing less than stunning. I will say that the rooms are unequal in my mind: one steps directly into the pool with tons of light, another is big with great light and a bit more privacy, while the two downstairs rooms are very private but also lack the light and views of the upstairs rooms. However, the couple who slept downstairs enjoyed the cool darkness and privacy so I guess it just depends what people want Our concierge David, was extremely friendly and helpful with all questions we had!
