The resort is located about 10 minutes out of Kailua, which is far enough to avoid the crowds, especially when the cruise ships are in port, and yet near enough to enjoy the restaurants and little shops. It was calm and restful to look at the broad horizon of the Pacific Ocean and to hear the rythym of the waves... more

We keep returning to Kona By The Sea when we are visiting in Hawaii. This past Jan. was our 5th stay at this property. Have stayed in different units each time and never have been disappointed. Each unit has been very clean, decorated nicely, had comfortable beds, and wonderful ocean views. We love eating dinner on our private lanai while... more

We arrived late in the day on the 27th of February and I was suffering the after eftects of jet-lag and a bout of killer flu. Kenneth at the front desk was extremely helpful and welcoming after a long day. The condo was BEAUTIFUL! We weren't too sure what to expect after reading all the reviews listed here, but it... more

For ocean views from your lanai, and the sound of pounding waves all day long, this place if for you. If you want a nice, clean, updated condo, DO NOT rent #107 at Kona by the Sea. Let me just say ahead of time that we are not "5 star" people, meaning, we don't expect lavish lodging wherever we travel,... more

We are truly sorry your experience was less enjoyable than you expected. As you noted, all of our condos are individually owned and are therefore not all the same. We regularly work with our owners and advise when they need upgrades or "refreshing" of old and tired furnishings. We have passed on your comments to the owners of unit #107,...

We were joined by another couple and stayed unit #120 and it was perfect. Ocean view, new furniture,ceiling fans, washer & dryer, and very clean. Lots of room for all. We had the pleasure of watching surfers ride the waves from our veranda while drinking our morning coffee. We used the barbecues located in the pool area and met many... more

Our family of four stayed at Kona by the Sea for six nights. We found the property to be excellent. Our condo was updated, clean, and very comfortable. It had the usual condo amenities and all items were in excellent working condition. The property is waterfront and the views are great. All personnel were very friendly and accommodating. We will... more

If you want overall value, close to airport, in a central location, and all you plan to do is sleep here,this condo place is for you. Because it does not have any amenties except a spa i can not call it a resort. Checkin- The check in was quick and timely. Restaurant-there is no restaurant. You have to get in... more

We're sorry that your stay at Kona by the Sea did not meet your expectations. We regret that you did not let us know that you were unhappy and provide us an opportunity to assist. Your comments about low lighting in the garage have been taken very seriously and we have increased the wattage of the lights and set the...

My husband and I spent 6 days here the second week in Dec. Our unit was #104 which we rented through the owner who had donated the time to a charity auction. We usually rent houses so we were nervous about this condo but it was nice. Our 2 bedroom, ocean front unit was away from the pool so we... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Kona by the Sea from December 29-31, 2007. We stayed in unit 209, which has been beautifully renovated, and is gorgeous inside and out. The sea views from the balcony are outstanding; you are so close to the ocean that the sounds of waves crashing against the beach are deafening...you can almost feel the... more
