Wonderful vacation home - fabulous stay!
We had an incredible stay in Keauhou at this lovely condo. The ocean view was fantastic. The lovely kitchen had everything we could have wanted and more. Our teens were happy to each have a bedroom. We walked to great snorkeling at Kahalu'u beach. The beach bar at the Outrigger had surprisingly good food and drinks. It was great to have beach towels, coolers, snorkel gear, etc. for our use. The only downside was some traffic noise from ali'i Drive but it was manageable and more than worth the tradeoff of location. The neighbors we saw were friendly and helpful too. Great place!

Beautiful new townhome!
M-4 was the best location at Na Hale O Keauhou! It was large, private, well decorated and had a nice private lanai with a bbq. It was basecamp for all of our activities, including, deep sea fishing, night snorkeling with the manta rays, visiting the volocano park, seeing the observatory, and just swimming at the beautiful beaches. I would suggest dining at Jackie Reys, and breakfast at Sam Choy's, right up behind the townhomes.

This condo and it's owner are interested in making your stay on the Big Island perfect in every way. It was comfortable, well appointed, and beautifully decorated. The place was spotless and we had everything we needed. Thanks again.

Convenient location, wonderful condo!!
My family had a wonderful time at this condo. We were impressed with the kitchen supplies as every time we said "I wonder if there is a...", we found it! The location is perfect! Just down the road from the KTa grocery store and Longs drugs. A 10 minute walk to snorkeling. There is a trolley that stops near by that will take you into Kailua - $2.00 a person. That was fun. The condo grounds were very well kept, pool was always clean. My only very minor complaint was that the keys were not labled as pool/access key. Took us a few days to realize we did indeed have a key to the pool- which is our own fault for not trying. I wasn't sure about the aloha Condo website - took a leap of faith and I'm glad we did. Using it again for the next trip. Next time we are in Kailua - we will ask for L-4.

Clean, Comfortable & Great Value!
Pleasantly appointed 3/3 Condo, convenient to shopping, beaches, restaurants!! Clean with all supplies. Good roadway access and plenty of parking. Would suggest having a vegetable peeler though. Otherwise, it appeared that we had all the kitchen stuff. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to any of our friends. One of the dining chair arms was loose but when we mentioned this & need for more paper good, there was immediate response from the manager. Great service!!!

“ Jan 17,2012 thru March 1,2012 This was our second year to stay in this condo. We have been coming to Kona for 18 years and this is by far the best property we have stayed in. Most important for us, it is very clean!! Also the ocean view is the best in the complex! We love watching the whales. Wonderful breeze, we did not need the air conditioning at all this year! Very open and roomy for a family. A kitchen with everything you could ask for and more. This condo has been professionally decorated with very pretty yet comfortable furniture! Lots of beach toys, chairs, ice chests, goggles, fins etc... Very close to the best snorkling beach (across the street), 30 minute drive to beautiful white sand beaches. Keauhou shopping center walking distance just behind property has KTa Grocery, Theater,Peaberry Galette (wonderful Crepes,savory or dessert type and the latte's are to die for), Longs pharmacy, great pizza parlor and we love Sam Choys for breakfast. Also the Urgent Care is there and yes we have used it two times and have to say it was great! We love the farmers market in town for fruit and vegetables. Don't hesitate to stay here and remember not to over pack! Having a washer and dryer in the condo is great! The pool area is great. Even a small pool for the little ones that is about 1' deep. Covered area with tables if you want to get out of the sun. The only thing missing as far as the condo itself is a bar-b-que on the lani. We noticed more owners are providing them as it is getting difficult to use the one at the pool. I only mentioned that because we were asked what we liked best and least. We will still be there next year even if we can't get the B-B-Q! One more thing, if you do have a problem of any kind and have to call Bruce (the owners Mgr) he is wonderful about responding and fixing the problem quickly. Nancie thank you so much for opening up your Hawaiian Home to us and we look forward to next year and many more! R & S Young ”

“ This was a great townhouse. With two little ones, I needed a place with the comforts of home but in a location in paradise. We had a issue with the washing machine not working (broken belt) but we called the local contact (Bruce) and he was able to check it out the same day and was able to get a repairman to fix it the next day. Some of the items we were very pleasantly surprise to have in the townhouse was the use of their snorkel gear, ice chest, beach chair, beach umbrella, boogie board, sand toys for the kiddies. Now keep in mind, that since these are used by multiple visitors, they get some abuse and aren't perfect like the beach chairs. The townhouse itself was in excellent condition and decor was perfect. Very well equiped kitchen with rice cooker, blender, pots and pans and tableware. The kitchen even had spices and seasonings. Couple of travel tips: 1. Keauhou Shopping Center has excellent Farmers Market on Saturday 2. Sam Choy's in Keauhou Shopping center is excellent for breakfast (special - Braised short rib local moco was great) 3. Snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach Park is super close (1 Mile) and we saw plenty of turtles 4. Snorkeling at Two-Steps (next to Pu'uhonua o H?naunau National Historical Park) was the best and I heard there are dolphins in the early morning. 5. Beaches Hapuna Beach State Park is what you expect a Hawaiian beach to be. Fine white sand. 6. Mauna Kea Beach - more exclusive (limited parking to 30-40 cars) version of Hapuna Beach ”
Manager response:
“ Hello Mike and thank you for your great review of my condo.
I appreciate your mentioning some needed replacements such as the beach chairs. I usually get over there at least once a year but haven't been able to this past year so will have Bruce replace those.
Loved your travel tips. Didn't you just love Two Steps? We call if "Lava Beach" and go there all the time. Also glad the honus were out. So awesome that they all feel safe with their basking on Kahalulu beach.
Hope you will be able to come again some time.

There were six of us (three couples) and we even had a catered dinner for twenty one night and the living room, family room, and lanai area were more than able to accommodate the party. It's a medium walk to Kahaluu Beach, one of the best places to snorkel on this island. Each time we were there, we were able to swim with sea turtles and catch them sun bathing on the shore. Overall an excellent place to stay! We hope to back again. ”

The house was very clean and neat. Everything we can possibly need can be found there. Especially they have more than 6 snorkeling gears, and many other beach gears such as beachboards, beach chairs, etc. The location was quite nice, right on alii drive, and 5 minutes driving from all the popular restaurants on alii drive. Since our parents came with us, we cooked a few meals ourselves and we found all the necessary cooking/dining stuffs in the house. The Ocean view was great. ”

“ Myself, wife, and our favorite couple stayed in this condo from November 10-15. We were in town for a wedding. From beginning to end this was a great place to stay. Everything was as advertised. Chuck at alohoCondos was great to work with, from my first inquiry to final booking, to sending me all instructions and directions from the airport, he was great. He responded to my emails very prompt, and was very courteous. When my group first entered the condo our jaws hit the ground. It was very spacious, very clean, and very updated, just as advertised. The view of the ocean from the first floor lanai, and upstairs lanai was amazing. Walked to the shopping center for groceries, and the beach for snorkeling. The condo provided everything we needed, snorkeling equipment, coolers, pots pans for all types of cooking, all the amenities of home. All we had to do was buy some food items, there were already seasonings in the cabinets. We used the pool several time during our stay, as well as the grill. And the locals in the complex were very nice to talk to and very welcoming. It was nice to be able to wash our own cloths, and all washing detergent was provided. We did not need for anything, it was truly a stress free vacation. I have been recommending this condo to all my friends, family and coworkers. So, whoever reads this review, book a-4 and you will not be disappointed. I don't have one thing to complain about. Mahalo Nui Loa, Chet ”

The location is perfect for short treks to the nearby beaches as well as stocking up at the marketplace. Everything (and more) is supplied in this condo. The snorkel gear, boogie boards and beach towels were much appreciated and used daily by our family. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals...the coffee grinder was an added plus for the two in our family who prefer whole bean coffee in the morning. The layout was perfect for us, we didn't feel cramped and everyone had plenty of space. Breakfasts on the lanai were a morning ritual...the view of the ocean is a reminder that you truly are in paradise! I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone visiting the Big Island! ”

“ These units are great for families. There are spacious common areas for everyone to gather, and at the end of the day, each party can relax in their own private bedroom. The units are modern, comfortable, well-furnished, and well-maintained inside and out. There is wireless access so you can look up maps, restaurants, find things to do, etc. The location is great with a nice beach within walking distance, small strip mall just up the block (supermarket, restaurants), and larger malls (Costco, Walmart, Safeway) about 15 mins away. This is actually our 2nd time at the Na Hale O Keauhou complex (stayed in L4 in 2007), and I've recommended the resort to friends and family for all the above reasons. The booking process was simple and straightforward, with appropriate email confirmation and follow up. Specific feedback on unit A4: Pros - Bamboo floors are absolutely beautiful! - AC & fans worked well. We loved coming back to a cool home after a hot & humid day out. - King bed in 2nd bedroom (L4 had queen bed). - Ottomans as coffee table were great for a toddler learning to walk. - Making the gate/garage opener available was a very nice touch, so we didn't have to key in the code each time or open the garage door from the inside of the home. - Some snorkels, beach equipment, and coolers available for use - Easy walk to the pool - Well-stocked kitchen with all kinds of dinnerware, tools, small appliances, etc. - The right amount of supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, garbage bags, etc.) to last a family of 6 for a week Cons - Unit A is closest to the road. There's not much traffic so noise is imperceptible, but you can definitely *see* the road from the lanais. (See pics of the unit on website) - No BBQ on lanai. :( Because of the view of the road & no bbq on lanai, we did not eat outdoors. We really enjoyed eating outdoors when we stayed in L4. - Would have been great to have a couple more dishtowels (there were 2). ”

“ We stayed in this unit last fall and fell in love with the whole property. This unit was very nicely decorated and located at the top of a hill so we could see the water, watching ships anchor in the Kona bay, sail boats and kayaks stream across the water. A shopping center up the hill was nice for quick access to groceries, dining out, post office as well as watching a cat colony the community feeds. It's located on the south side of Kona on the main street, so you get a bit of head start going south to see the sights or can drive down the main street from the south having easy access to the public beach less than a mile away and the shops further north in town. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was great and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and serving pieces. We did entertain and the unit accommodated the event beautifully. The pool area was well maintained and we found ourselves the only ones in there early in the morning and evening. All in all the whole property was quiet and well maintained. It was nice to immerse ourselves in the Big Island on our terms and should we have the opportunity to return, we would definately check on availability of this unit or one like it. ”

“ I spent many hours researching lodging for our Hawaiian vacation. We weren't interested in hotels and Kona condos are a dime a dozen. When I found the Na Hale O Keauhou townhome J-2, I was curious. It looked good in the pictures and the price was right but would it live up to our expectations? I can honestly say that J-2 exceeded our every expectation. We arrived to a huge gift basket on the doorstep filled with local goodies. We opened the front door to find a beautifully appointed home with every amenity you could want. Two comfortable outdoor sitting areas provided the perfect place to watch the ocean and the sunset. The pool was only steps away and although shared with the community it was rarely busy and always inviting. And, although not located directly on the ocean the nearest beach, and best snorkeling on the island, is only a 10 minute walk (or 3-minute drive) down the road. To welcome their guests the Owners provided an excellent personal guide to the island including their recommendations on where to eat, snorkel, hike, etc. And their recommendations are spot on. We enjoyed excellent meals and wonderful beaches. And since they knew their guests would be spending time at the beach there was a selection of beach and snorkel gear to borrow along with a large stockpile of beach towels. I would classify this home as Luxury accommodations as we found it nicer than most 5-star hotels. Although the home is used by a continuous flow of guests it was exceptionally clean and left us feeling as if we had walked into a brand new model home. The only improvement I might suggest, and keep in mind this is a personal preference, is a king size bed. My hubby and I are both very tall people over 6-ft and a king size make all the difference. But we made do with some romantic cuddling in the very comfortable queen positioned with a view of the ocean. Our stay at J-2 was exceptional and I don't hesitate recommending it. We hope to return again soon ourselves. ”

“ We were completely delighted with this condo. It was great to be so close to the pool since the kids wanted to swim every day. The condo has a highchair, crib, pack-n-play and baby gate as well as beach toys for kids. The decor is very classy and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and in a great location. We took advantage of the free cultural events at the Keauhou Shopping Center just minutes away. We had a minor issue when we first arrived but it was taken care of immediately. Also, we forgot some items when we left so we contacted the owner and he arranged to have them sent to us asap. So, not only is the condo wonderful but so is the owner. We can't imagine staying anywhere else on our next trip to the Big Island. ”

This is a very clean, comfortable, quiet (and safe... inside a gated community), well-maintained, and beautifully-decorated townhome. It is close to grocery, restaurants, and great snorkeling sites. Very well-equipped... It had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to snorkel gear, beach chairs, and flashlights (that we needed for lava cave tours). The owner, Bob, always answered our questions promptly... was an absolute pleasure dealing with him. We truly enjoyed our stay there and looking forward to going back again soon! ”

The complex was extremely quiet (likely due to the time of year), and well equiped with a pool, whirl pool, and a small gym which all appeared well maintained. The condo is also close to some shopping, and just up the road from a great beginner snorkling place. Bob was very good to communicate with and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We really enjoyed our relatively short stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to family and friends. ”

We even spotted a crib and pack n play, which will come in handy when we come back and/or recommend this place to other family with children. Did I mention everything was in pristine condition? We traveled to Maui about six months prior to this trip, and spent on a 1 bedroom condo what this 2 bd condo cost. We were delighted at the amazing deal in Maui, so you can imagine our shock when finding this spot!! We enjoyed the pool nearly every day, and had many a lunch & dinner on our patio. I cannot recommend this spot more highly...while it isn't located directly on the beach, it was 10-15 minutes walking distance or 2-3 minutes driving distance from several beaches. ”

There is a shopping centre close by plus a trolley bus that goes into town. Kona is a terrific little town. I also heard the tour bus trip is great. There's lots of books and magazines about the island in the twnhse. The best one to use is one we had also brought with us..Big Island Revealed.(The blue book) Great reviews.

“ After 17 days in this beautiful condo it was hard to leave. It really felt like home! From the cozy living room to the fully stocked kitchen to the comfy bedrooms, it has everything one could desire in a vacation home. The BBQ on the lower lanai was handy for nightly grilling, and the upper lanai was a peaceful place to read a book, take an afternoon nap, and watch the Kona sunsets. It was also great to have access to the garage to store golf clubs, travel bags, etc. The only downside to this unit is a bit of "traffic" noise as the residents in the lower buildings leave for work in the mornings. It was a great excuse to get up and go for an early morning walk. It certainly wouldn't stop us from staying here again. We thoroughly enjoyed Nanealoa.

“ I guess the title says it all....having stayed in J2 on three different occasions for a total of 13 weeks it really feels like home. The gift basket upon arrival is always much appreciated. One of my favourite places in the townhouse is the lanai off the master bedroom, a great place to read and relax on the comfortable chaises, also a wonderful place to appreciate the ocean view and the incredible sunsets. The outdoor patio furniture on the ground floor lanai is very comfortable too, a great place to have meals and make use of the BBQ. The proximity of the Keauhou shopping centre is very convenient, just a short walk and includes a supermarket, drug store, post office, several restaurants, movie theatre etc. The kitchen is very well equipped, there is also a good stock of supplies such as paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, ziploc and garbage bags etc. Having a remote on one of the house keys was very handy, thus avoiding the need to key in a code every time you enter the complex. The grounds are very well maintained and managed. Finally, the owner, Bob Blomberg is a pleasure to deal with, very accessible and always responds promptly when making contact with him.

“ Very clean - had everything that one could want. In fact, more than we needed. The snorkel beach was so close (about 10 min on foot), we didn't use the pool. Didn't use the BBQ either, but used the kitchen extensively (can't offer any advice on local restaurants). Nice view, especially from the master bedroom lanai. Convenient to the grocery store (walkable if you don't mind the hill). Fairly new, in great condition and well appointed. Some fairly minor disappointments: the bed was too hard for my taste; to get a good picture on the downstairs TV (from cable), you had to make sure that the DVD player was powered off; the crew that maintains the grounds does a good job, but be prepared for the "2 cycle (engine) symphony" 3 days during the week; some residents use their lanais for entering / exting their units, meaning there may well be foot traffic by your lanai (spooked the wife); the burnt wood smell from the fire up the mountain permeated the air every night. Overall, enjoyed my stay, would consider renting again. ”

“ My husband and I stayed in Unit J2 for 15 nights in October. The condo was absolutely wonderful, exactly like the pictures on the website - very tastefully decorated and fitted out with all the mod cons (it was like staying in a show home)! Thank you for the welcome basket on arrival. Cooking in the kitchen was such a pleasure - it had every utensil you could possibly want for. There were also beach chairs/boogie boards/snorkel equipment etc in the garage for use when visiting the beaches. Also, having laundry facilities inside the condo and a barbecue on the lanai was definitely a bonus. The gated complex was very quiet, which suited us. The pool area was beautiful and the grounds were very well maintained. It is situated very close, just a little way down the hill, from the Keauhou shopping centre where we used to go the KTA supermarket for our daily newspaper and groceries and which was very reasonably priced (for Hawaii)! Making reservations for Unit J2 via Aloha Condos was very simple and straightforward and handled efficiently by Bob and Judy(the owners). They were very helpful and emailed the guestbook which contained useful information on both the condo and the island, which assisted in the planning of our vacation. They also advised us on the best options when shopping for groceries, which we were very grateful for. In summary, our vacation at Unit J2 and the Na Hale O Keauhou complex was brilliant and we are hopefully looking to return again this year. ”

“ My husband and I stayed at the Hale Nanealoa townhome in September of 2006. Let me first preface this review that I am very picky about where I stay on vacations. I have stayed through the gamut of different types of accommodations in my life, from motel to luxury. As I get older, my pickiness has increased and I only like to stay at very nice properties. This property is up in the 5 star range and is one of the best where I have stayed. Everything was new and clean and stylish. There was NO white "cheesy" lawn furniture that I have seen at other Hawaiian properties, nor was there the wear and tear typically seen in other condos in Hawaii. The master bathroom is something you would only get at a five or six star hotel and it was very large. I have stayed on nearly all islands in the Hawaiian chain, and this place has been the best. The view was very nice and the pool quiet and relaxing. The grounds were also well maintained. Everything was upscale here. I very much appreciated the gift basket for our wedding anniversary after I was asked on their website if we were going for a special occasion. The owners were very professional and concerned that we had a good time and everything we needed. (This has not been the case at other Hawaiian properties that I have stayed). The price was excellent for the value of this vacation home. I highly recommend Hale Nanealoa. ”

The condo grounds were very well kept, pool was always clean. My only very minor complaint was that the keys were not labled as pool/access key. Took us a few days to realize we did indeed have a key to the pool- which is our own fault for not trying. I wasn't sure about the aloha Condo website - took a leap of faith and I'm glad we did.

Response from both the owner and the maintenance guy (Richard) were really bad! I ended up removing and fixing the fan myself! But after this event the 2 weeks were really great and I would stay here again. ”
Manager response:
“ We are happy to hear that this guest enjoyed our Island Home and says they would stay there again. We regret that the ceiling fan incident occurred but feel we handled the situation as quickly and favorably to the guest as possible. Our maintenance person was not on site when this situation occurred because the guest arrived 3-4 hours early which was in violation of the Rental Agreement. As a result the maintenance person was not prepared to handle a problem of this nature due to the guests unauthorized early arrival. That said, the owner contacted the maintenance person immediately and had someone at the property as soon as the maintenance person could get back to the property. This was all communicated back to the guest so that they knew exactly what was going on. This problem was caused by a faulty installation by the contractor that built the property.
As for fixing the problem himself, all the guest did was separate two dead touching wires in the ceiling and turn the breaker back on. A short time later when the maintenance person arrived he capped the wires and removed the damaged fan from the property. This all occurred within a time span of a few hours, hardly the bad response mentioned. We also asked the guest if they would like the fan replaced immediately and they asked that we not replace it until after they had gone home.

The complex and the location of this unit is quite, has well maintained grounds and the pool area fitnes center is 1st class. The complex was built in 2006 and is the newest and nicest townhouse style complex on the Big Island in town you will find. Located in one of the best areas as well. Ocean views, and a 10 min walk away from some of the best snorkeling the island has to offer. White sand beach ( Magic Sands is a short 10 min drive, shopping and your local grocery store KTA a 2 min drive.The complex is so quite most of the time you feel like the only one there and the location is one of the best period. The BBQ on the Lani is a bonus as other units do not have one, there is one you can use in the common area but, it's not ideal as you have to haul everything you need to pool area. L-4 is well equiped but, not like some other units and you would never notice if you have not rented other units.

The place itself was very comfortable for the six of us. Plenty of fans to move air around, and we found that at night colder air would come down the mountain and help us sleep without A/C. All of the furnishings were comfortable. The high-speed Internet connection is faster than mine at home. There is enough beach toys and boogie-boards for everyone -- although I suggest investing in your own snorkel gear. ”

I really want to know what brand the master mattress is because we had the best sleeps. Rick was very courteous and professional. It was really nice to have the recommended reading about the Big Island in advance to help plan our stay. The townhouse complex is quiet and close to Kona with a safe, family feeling. The fitness room and pool area is well maintained and nice to use. You are a quick walk to groceries and basic shopping as well as the shuttle that will run you right into Kona. It's still a good idea to rent a car to explore the island properly. Aside from revisiting the beach we were married on 10 years ago, snorkeling, showing the kids Volcano National Park, seeing dolphins and a variety of fish, our top thing was barbequing on the lanai while sipping Mai Tais and watching the sunset. Our children enjoyed the small lawn behind the unit. They had a chance to run a bit as well as look for geckos and wild cats. Our experience at this townhouse was fabulous. We have nothing even slightly negative to share with you about this property. Mahalo Rick! We truly hope to be back soon. ”

The Bar B-Q on the Lanai got a lot of use, a nice place to relax in the evening after spending some busy days snorkeling, hiking and seeing the beautiful sights of the Big Island. Definitely right on the tip top of our list for future vacations. Bill and Cindy J, ”

“ My husband and I took our kids on our first Hawaiian vacation and were so fortunate to have booked our accommodations at Na Hale O Keauhou Unit L-4. Our vacation 'home away from home' was perfect and more than we expected. It was clean, pleasantly decorated, and had all the necessary home supplies. Also, the views from the lanai during breakfast as well as dinner were amazing :) Some of our best sunsets pictures were taken from the lanai :) Thank you Rick for your hospitality and sharing your home for others to experience. We look forward to our return trip back! ”

“ My family had a wonderful vacation on the Big Island in 2006, and a big part of that experience was our accomodation at Na Hale O Keauhou, Townhome L-4. This Townhome has beautiful modern furnishings and applicances. The location is very convenient to shopping, a great snorkeling park and beach, as well as access to the main highway. The townhome complex is well maintained, secure, quiet with a great pool and gym. The garage parking, patio and water views certainly provided added value to the accomodation. We're looking forward to returning to the Big Island, and we hope to stay at Na Hale O Keauhou L-4 again. ”

“ Our experience with this property was fabulous. The owner was very easy to work with and there were no surprises. The condo certainly exceeded our expectations. It was nicely decorated, clean and spacious. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed and the grounds and pool area were nicely landscaped. When we arrived everyone was excited and pleased with the condo. It was a distance to the beach, but the ocean was quite visible and the sunsets were awesome. The location was great as it seemed to be centrally located to our various activities. It was nice having beach mats and chairs avaiable to use as well. Our experience couldn't have been better and I would highly recommend this to anyone. We will certainly stay here when we come again. ”

LUXURIOUS TOWNHOUSE PERFECT FOR FAMILIES
Overall rating:
Cecilia from Chicago on 05/26/2009 said:
“ My husband and I stayed in this wonderful townhouse with our two children. It was even better than the pictures. Everything was immaculate when we arrived. Not only is it beautiful, it is very comfortable. The bedding and linen is nicer than most 5 star hotels. My husband and I enjoyed watching the sunset over the ocean from the balcony off our bedroom. While we were on the Big Island, they were expecting a direct hit from a hurricane. Parks, attractions and stores were closed for two days. While the hurricane never hit land, there were some severe storms. We enjoyed watching movies curled up on the cozy sofa and played games provided in the townhouse. Staying here salvaged our vacation. The owner called before and after the storm to check on us. We have traded our timeshare for condo's in Hawaii before, but this is far better than any timeshare rental. The feel is not that of a rental but an upscale house. The unit is a short walk from the pool and close to shops, dining and snorkeling trips. For as much money as a hotel room, you can stay in a luxurious home. ”

C. K. from Arizona on 05/24/2009 said:
“ The minute we walked in the door we knew we were in for a special experience. This town home is exquisitely decorated with very high end tropical furnishings by people who pay attention to details and it shows. The panoramic views of the ocean and the sunsets from every room and the lanais are spectacular and we found ourselves eating almost every meal there. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen and BBQ was also great. We enjoyed and appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and the ice chest for our trips to the beach and other adventures. We cannot think of anything lacking and can't wait to come back again to Na Hale O Keauhou L-4. This is the nicest accomodation we have ever stayed at in Hawaii!!!! ”

dwkkriley from Houston, TX on 05/22/2009 said:
“ We had a wonderful time on the island and this was a great property. This unit was very well appointed with all the amenities of home: fully equipped kitchen, beautiful living and dining rooms, multiple bathrooms, even a washer & dryer. The owners even provide beach towels and toys for the kids! A number of lcoal guides, restaurant menus, and suggestions were provided by the owners, which was a very nice touch. With 4 kids it is important to have enough space for everyone. It was nice to have enough space to let everyone unwind at their own pace and with their own space. The unit had wireless internet access which was great for making reservations, checking on the office, etc. The view is wonderful and the pictures speak for themselves. This is a great location, just far enough from the downtown so as not to be too hectic, but close enough not to feel completely isolated. Grocery store, restaurants, movie theater, shopping, etc. is within a 2 minute drive. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed staying here. ”

Carruthers from South Australia from Adelaide, South Australia on 05/15/2009 said:
“ We surfed the Internet looking for family style accomodation for about three weeks before making contact and then selecting this condo, sight unseen. We were a bit apprehensive about booking online and only had the pictures which were on the website to go on. Need I say, we were most pleased. From the great lengths the owners went to to ensure you had lots of information on the services they provide in the condo and surrounding areas, to the equipment supplied - need I say, our stay was MAGIC! We were within walking distance from the shopping centre and about 10 minutes from Kona. We loved the space that the condo provided that we were due to stay for 7 nights and extended our stay to 10 days which allowed us more time to spend on this beautiful island. We would definitely recommend Rick and the L4 condo - what you see online is what you get - AND MORE, they come highly recommended!!!!!!!!!! ”

We really appreciated all of the special touches the owner provides including: ice chests, beach towels and chairs, books, guides, games and DVD's. The outdoor patio furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed the BBQ and being able to relax out there and watch the sunset in the peaceful surroundings.

Connie A from St. Paul, MN on 05/12/2009 said:
“ As long-time Hawaii visitors I speak from experience when I say this condo is exceptional. It is beautifully decorated, has a well equipped kitchen and a nice grill which makes eating on the deck fantastic. We often bought fish at the market and grilled it while watching the gorgeous sunsets. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely furnished and the master bath is huge. The condo complex is only five years old and is meticulously cared for. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful pool and exercise area which are very near the condo. There is a shopping mall with a nice grocery store within walking distance and a trolley that goes into downtown Kona several times a day. For us, however, one the best things about Na Hale O'Keauhou is that it is only a mile or so from the Kona Country Club which has 27 holes of really fun and scenic golf. ”

“ Stayed December 2008 We picked this town home because it looked like it had the nicest view and furnishings of any we looked at. When we arrived it was even nicer and more pristine than we expected. The pictures are just a sample of what to expect. We enjoyed the panoramic ocean and sunset views while we ate and relaxed on the lanais. The spacious town home was superbly furnished from the tropical designer furniture, exquisite artwork, fully supplied gourmet kitchen to the luxurious linens and towels, etc. We also loved being within walking distance of the beach for swimming and snorkeling and having the shopping center just a short walk up the hill. It was also nice to have beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and a cooler supplied for beach time. They thought of everything!! The development is also beautifully cared for and the pool/spa/wading pool area was great to relax at. We plan to go back to Na Hale O Keauhou L-4 later this year for a return visit and also have recommended it to friends. ”

“ After looking at numerous properties, we needed to find a place for my husband and I, our single son, and our married son, daughter-in-law and two children. We were looking for a three-bedroom place in Kona near the ocean. This place fit us to a T. There are two bedrooms perfect for two couples, and a third bedroom with two twins - perfect for kids; all excellently decorated making you feel like you're in a 5 star hotel. Having laundry upstairs was so helpful! The downstairs had two seating areas, and although there was a beautiful dining room table, we found ourselves sitting outside on the patio for every meal. The kitchen was well appointed. The refrigerator was clean when we arrived. Having a few beach chairs and boogie boards were great for the kids. Plus, the owner left a book that guides you around the island which we used every single day. Overall, our experience was a ten out of ten. The owner answered all of our questions promptly. I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting the "Hawaii" experience. ”

Stayed in Townhome I-6 from Indy on 05/12/2011 said:
“ This visit was the second time we have stayed at Na Hale O Keauhou, and our first stay in Townhome I-6. I grew-up on the Big Island, and in the many years that my husband and I have visited my family there, this is our favorite complex. It is reasonably priced, clean, and very comfortable. We now have two young children, so we particularly enjoyed this unit, due to its family friendly nature with a cute bunk room, plenty of kids books, crayons, beach/pool stuff, etc.. We also cook in a lot and host family when we visit, and the house was comfortably laid out for entertaining, and the kitchen was well equipped. My 6'+ husband would have liked a king size bed in the master bedroom, and we had some problems with the remotes and DVD players. But, if those were our biggest complaints...we will certainly stay there again, and again! ”
