This was an excellent property. Nice pool and hot tub. 1st floor overlooking the pool and the snorkle beach across the street. Full size kitchen with all necessities. Two full baths with linens. Air conditioning worked very good. Parking was easy and safe. We toured the entire island and had a great stay, Aug of 2025. Also had snorkle gear provided and I swam with underwater camera across the street and got hundreds of coral reef fish pics. On the last day I swam with multiple turtles and got cool underwater video.
This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at this condo. It is well supplied and a great location!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kahaluu Beach Villas! The condo was very spacious, and full stocked with everything needed for a lengthy stay. Leilani was great to work with, she was responsive and helpful. And the location was outstanding. We have snorkeled at many location, including Maui earlier in the trip, as well as Captain Cook Monument, and the Kahaluu Beach was the best by far! Coral was amazing, with many fish and sea turtles. Also, short drive to Kona and location attractions. If we come back to the Big Island, I would stay here again!
We enjoyed the location as usual because of the great snorkeling across the street and the proximity to Kona. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi and our walks into the neighborhood.
This was a trip of a lifetime for me and my family. The condo was perfect. Well stocked. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels. A boogie board. Some snorkeling stuff but we brought our own. It is the perfect location. Right across from an amazing snorkeling beach and surfing spot. 4 min drive to Magic Sands. 0.4 miles from a supermarket and drug store. Easy access into the more crowded side of town. Parking was easy. Really everything was perfect. We did a lot of things. Recommendations: the Pork Burrito at Shaka Tacos. Randy's Roadside BBQ. Night Swimming with the Mantarays. The Volcano National Park (we were so lucky as it was erupting when we were there). Just so much to see any do. Snorkeling is excellent at Mancini beach and by Captain Cook Monument. Just an amazing time!!! Black Sands Beach. Green Sands Beach. Hilo and all the waterfalls. Mauna Kea Summit Adventures (our guide was Kea. Excellent. I would ask for him). Thanks for sharing your place for a trip of a lifetime.

Great unit for a small family! Short walk across the street to a excellent snorkeling spot. Close to shopping and restaurants.

This property was great, and I would definitely stay there again. It had everything that we needed and more including umbrella, chairs and snorkeling equipment. The location was perfect as right across from a great snorkeling location. My daughter had surfing lessons 3 different times and could simply walk there as well. The condo provided a beautiful view of the sunset every evening.
The condo had all of the kitchen amenities that we needed. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very beautiful & handy condo. The major disappointment was that the beach across the street was closed the whole time we were there, I think bc the coral was spawning. I would never have spent this much money per night if it weren't for the beach being right there. To be honest, I would have loved to have been offered some kind of discount. The only other issue was that there is an outdoor safety light on the outside wall to the right of the lanai that shines very brightly at night, which made it uncomfortable to relax out there. I believe it turned on even during sunset. All that said, it was handy, clean, comfortable. We had one of our young adult children with us, and could have had two, a nice space for a couple & two kids. All the available snorkeling equipment was nice, including noodles, chairs, and umbrellas. Especially since we had to do some driving to get to other snorkeling beaches.
Location and condo met all our needs. View from lanai just spectacular! Breathtaking sunset every night. Would highly recommend!
Perfect location! Everything you need for a great stay. Walk across to one of the best snorkeling beaches or have lunch on the patio, can't get better than this! Short trip in to town and close to groceries. Comfortable bed, quiet condos, great pool, great grill, and all other amenities. Highly recommend!

She provided every amenity imaginable. The unit is comfortable. I loved the bed in master bedroom - firm with cushioning and no motion. Convenient snorkeling across the street and also a half hour from two step. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely family vacation here with us and our toddlers. I was surprised at how many extras the condo came with (i.e. boogie boards, beach umbrellas, beach towels, DVD players and TVs in every room). The condo was very clean and we enjoyed the decor. My one critique is that the master bedroom is in desperate need of a new mattress. It was impossible to get a good night's sleep with how lumpy it was (and that's coming from a couple with 2 toddlers who are used to not getting sleep). Other than that we loved our stay!
In the beginning there was a little miscommunication about the combination for the door. After that it was absolutely a wonderful stay.
We loved this property! We would return in a second!
You really can’t beat the location of the room from two angles:
Near Kailua/Kona, but not IN it. Very short walk to beach, but not any beach - one of the few with hundreds of bright fishes close to shore. The room is lovely enough while being in an area with “regular” people rather than the posh and overly manicured feeling of many name hotels. Near the petroglyphs if you ask a local to point the way.
Room itself is nearest to the pool of the two buildings and has a stunning view. Perhaps room above might have a better view but we liked being on the ground floor.
The room had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and we did. Clean, well appointed, good books about the area, great kitchen, comfortable bed and an extra bedroom and bath we didn’t need but appreciated. Good air flow, barely turned on A/C.
We miss it already.
Great condo with amazing pool and well thought out spaces. Our family (2 girls: 5 & 10) really enjoyed our stay! The location was excellent. We would stay here again.

Great view … and the view isn’t even the best part. Because it’s located a few miles south of downtown Kona, it’s much calmer and provides easy access to good snorkeling sites. As a 2 bed/2 bath it worked great for our family. We’ve stayed at 2 other places in Kona, and this by far the best. - And people write suggestions for things to do / places to eat in Leilani’s guest book.
The condo was beautiful and had an amazing view. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The lanai was very nice and looks directly over the pool and to the Snorkel Beach across the street. Unfortunately, during our stay, the pool was being fixed and we were unable to use it. The owners graciously discounted our stay. We would recommend this condo to friends and family and would stay there again.
