A front lawn between the house and ocean is a great place for sun bathing.
Recently upgraded with new furnishings, bedding, linens, towels, and kitchenware,
Kona Bay Hale has everything you need for the perfect vacation.
Located less than a mile from Kailua-Kona town, restaurants, shopping, and ocean activities.

We loved staying at this property. Although we did not walk to town, it was certainly doable. The best part was enjoying the ocean right from the back deck! The home was also very well equipped.

Beautiful home with a wonderful ocean view!
This is the perfect place to relax and unwind! This property is close to shopping, restaurants, and a grocery store if you would rather cook instead of going out to dinner. We witnessed beautiful sunsets and saw whales daily from the outdoor sitting area. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to visiting again.

Best location
This house was located right on the water just South of Kailua-Kona. It is a great base location for exploring the island IF you can peel yourself out of the chairs on the lanai overlooking the water. The house is well stocked with items to use in the kitchen, as well as things to use at the beach like towels, chairs, umbrellas, and snorkels. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

Wish we had never left.
It’s rare when a rental lives up to expectations but this one was stellar and we wish we had had never left. Four adults comfortably stayed here for a little less than a week and I could see how a couple of kids could easily stay in the bunk beds. The rental was very stocked with dishes, towels, linens and it was so nice to have a washer and dryer! We spent most evenings watching the sunset and mornings watching the fish and surfers out front. We can’t wait to return!

Fabulous Spot
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Tucked in a very private garden spot, we were thrilled to call this place home for a week. Spectacular view of the ocean and the whales. The house has everything we needed and the ocean breezes never ended. It is very conveniently located for groceries and restaurants. Definitely a repeat location.

Property was wonderful!
We loved staying here! It was so clean and comfortable! Beautiful views, close to everything. I loved that I could hear the waves all night! Put me right to sleep! Wonderful property! Binder with instructions/passwords etc seemed to be miss placed somewhere... Never could find it. Check in said there was one. Only telling you so the next people will have it! Thanks!

Wow what a fabulous stay!
I can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our week here. From the moment we walked into the courtyard with the beautiful flowers in the trees and the birds chirping to the amazing ocean front view. This place is huge. The kitchen is a gourmet kitchen full of anything that you would need to cook anything. The living room was very comfortable and overlooked the ocean. You could see the ocean while cooking. High ceilings in all of the rooms. I could see a palm tree in the skylight. The master bedroom has a big sliding door that overlooks the beautiful courtyard. High ceilings fabulous shower. we were worried we might get hot due to no air-conditioning in the living room and kitchen but as long as you had the ceiling fans going in the windows open with the ocean breeze it was just fine. We walked to town a few times and also took the trolley a couple times. There's a trolley schedule but it's not that accurate so sometimes we would wait for the trolley or just keep walking. they were lots of restaurants and bars and shopping anything you could ever need right in town. And there was a really good farmers market that sold fresh vegetables and fruits and all kinds of Hawaiian gifts. You can pick up beautiful fresh ginger and they allow you to fly it home since it is a root and as long as there's no soil. So we took some home and it's really fresh and good. This is a great location even if you want to tour the island we basically did a three or four different day trips and came right back to our fabulous ocean retreat. This was a great vacation. I would definitely stay here again so it was beautiful in a place I would never be able to buy but it sure wonderful to stay in. There's also an outdoor shower that you can use in it looks like you're surrounded by lava. There is laundry in the garage but we never used it. Thank you to the owners who share this home. It is a dream.

Great house!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nicely appointed house. The kitchen was extremely nice, with top notch cutlery. We rented this for the view, and it did not disappoint. We didn't get into the water from the backyard, but you probably could if you're ok with waves and rocks. Their Mini splits did a great job in cooling whatever room we were in. The washer and dryer worked great, and it was nice to have a good assortment of beach items.Our only complaints were: 1) would have liked a table on the lanai to play games, and 2) the neighbors were both doing remodeling projects so we had to listen to saws and drills while relaxing on the lanai. Certainly wasn't the properties fault.We'd definitely use Kona Sunsets Vacatio rentals on our next visit.

Incredible stay!
This might have been the most comfortable rental we’ve stayed in as a family - the owners thought of everything and if anything the pictures don’t do it justice. Waking up to that view each morning was all the vacation I needed but we had a spectacular time on the Big Island. Exceptional property!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, second year there, great location, new kitchen is lovely...however here are a few suggestions, the button next to kitchen sink should be marked it runs garbage disposal, which is so quiet you cannot tell it is on, kitchen is well supplied but could use smaller knives like steak knives or paring knives, outside deck furniture cushions are so old & worn hard to sit on, on the roof there are some shingles missing on west side of garage , directions for tv in living room are obsolete, and would really like a recycling bin

Great place not so great neighbors
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is amazing, the house is very comfortable and was well stocked. We had an issue right after we arrived. At 10 am on Saturday morning we were outside on the lanai having coffee and laughing. The neighbor came over and said we were too loud and he was going to call someone. We did not have music on or anything we were just laughing and chatting. I called the property manager and told him about the incident right away. Wayne the property manager was great to work with. We had a couple of houses rented as we had a few people in our family visiting the island. We stopped at the house to pick up people or to grab a cup of coffee or some food from time to time as we were not going to cook at both places. We did not have parties or wedding receptions or anything of that nature. The number of people staying in the house was 6 as per the contract. When I got home I did get a call from the property manager Wayne, saying that the neighbor had called the owners and the owners had called him. There was a complaint that we had too many people in the house and that we were too loud. I explained the situation again and all seems fine since we are no longer there (we were only there 1 week) but this has just been stressful. My sister and nephew have terminal cancer and this was to be the trip of a lifetime as it is probably the last trip we will take together. This incident caused stress and just really made our vacation unpleasant. Frankly to say that you cant have family over even for coffee or dinner is ridiculous. I understand not having parties etc. Anyway as much as I loved the house, view and location I would not rent this place again. I would work with Kona Sunset Vacation Rentals again as Wayne was professional, available and excellent to work with. I would just stay away from this particular house.
