Words are inadequate to describe Hale Pohaku1...the condo is better than the pictures display! The moment you arrive at the covered off street parking and step out of your car you can here the waves breaking onshore...heavenly!!! It is just a short walk through the garden courtyard to the front door of the condo and when you step inside the view is astounding and better than expected. We immediately opened the glass doors to the lanai and sat down to enjoy the tranquil sounds of the surf, a welcome sight and sound after 14 hours traveling. It was wonderful to stay here and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked, we ate all breakfasts and dinners on the lanai as who could resist that view!!! We had the pool to ourselves most of the time and the complex was quiet and serene. As others mentioned there was a little road noise during the day, but it quieted at night and honestly didn’t bother us at all. We had no issues with hot water at any time...as long as you run it s bit it was toasty hot for the duration of our showers and washing up at any time of the day. It was very nice that both bedrooms had their own private bath as we were with another couple. The decor and artwork were amazing...as was the view and the sound of the surf! It was very easy to find and just a short drive into town. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave. We hope to return someday. Mahalo for sharing your fabulous home with us!

Our second visit and we will come back again to sit on the patio and watch the sunset. Don’t miss TJ Bar-b-q for take out and a meal on the patio. (Within walking distance). Huggo’s, Fosters, and Lava Lava were our favorites.

Hale Pohaku #1 was incredible, the views are breathtaking. My jaw hit the floor when we walked in the door, and then you step out on the lani and feel like you are standing over the rocks and surf below. Just from our lani we were able to watch turtles on the rocks, and dolphins and wales coming and going every day. And the sunsets are just stunning. The condo itself was great, very spacious and lots of storage. We had four adults and never seemed lacking for space, especially when you slide open the wall of doors that seperate the living space and the lani. The condo was well stocked in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. We were missing beach towels when we showed up, but they were brought over shortly after we had made the discovery. There was plenty of snorkel gear for the four of us as well. There is a great little beach area just around the point to the north of the condo, and can be accessed by a private gate from the condo grounds. Lots of tide pools and wading areas with turtles, eels, crabs, and all kinds of colorful fish. A local farmer's style market is a short walk north of the condo. When we booked I was contacted by a concierge, David, from the property management company. If David (or whomever from Kona Concierge) reaches out and offers assistance or a recommendation, TAKE IT! David was great and pushed us to book the things we wanted to do early in the week, that way if there were cancellations we had a better shot at rebooking later in the week. We were treated to unusually high wind and tides our first 3 days on island, so everything was cancelled (snorkel tours, scuba dives, manta night dives, summit star gazing). David and his team worked to get everything re-booked and the only thing we missed was because we decided not to re-book. They made all the calls, they made all the new arrangements, and they communicated with us the entire time. David and Kona Concierge were awesome and allowed us to enjoy our vacation when the weather had other plans. The only thing I thought was missing from the condo/complex was a grill. None of us really wanted to turn the stove or oven on to cook, but a grill would have gotten some use.

Amazing place situated right on the water. Listening to the waves roll in every morning just made our experience that much more magical. This place definitely embodies the magic of Hawaii.

we loved this condo on the ocean. Waking up every morning to that incredible view was awesome. The condo was clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked and both bedrooms had comfortable king sized beds! It was in a great location to all the shops and activities that Hawai'i offers. We loved the pool in the afternoon and walking the beach collecting shells in the morning. It took alittle getting used to being awakened every morning by singing birds but we grew to like them!
