Hotels nahe Kona Community Aquatic Center (Kailua-Kona)

It's a great condo. We loved everything about it. No complaints at all.

My family (two adults, two teenage girls) rented the Dolphin House for a week, and we loved it. The house is beautiful and spacious, is right on the Pacific Ocean, has a nice pool, and is conveniently located within walking distance of shops and restaurants. If I get the chance to come to Kona in the future, I would be happy to rent this same house again. There is a full kitchen stocked with plates and silverware. The upstairs and downstairs each have glass walls facing the ocean that can be slid completely open for great views even while indoors. The upstairs has its own balcony with lounge chairs overlooking the ocean, so my wife and I could relax there while the girls were doing things downstairs or playing in the pool. Renters have the option of paying extra for air conditioning in the bedrooms (there is no air conditioning in the rest of the house). We paid for the air conditioning and really needed it at night to sleep well. My only criticism of the property is that there is no one nearby to help if you have a serious emergency: the owner and the rental coordinator live three time zones away in California. We were unable to get into the house the first night due to a problem at the security gate. It was after business hours (7 pm in Hawaii, 10 pm in California), so there was no one to help us. We were lucky that the security guard was willing to let us in temporarily when we could confirm that we had rented the property. The security problem was resolved by the owner and rental coordinator in the morning, but having someone on call in Hawaii would have saved us a lot of trouble.

Gorgeous house and perfect location. Fun tide pools right outside the door. Great beaches all around town. Best one was Ha ‘Puna. David the concierge was fantastic and helped us a lot! Did a Zip Line trip and Manta Ray night snorkel trip. Both amazing!

Great location. The pool cleaning machine is very loud. Wish they had more beach equipment & towels otherwise all good. The kitchen needs a little updating....mismatched dishes and silverware. overall we would book this location again.

I liked the property, the management and the condo. The only problem was the management company we got in late and were confused about signing agreements at 11:00 at night. (2:00 for us)

The view of the beach is to kill for and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was completely furnished with everything we needed. The bathrooms were gorgeous, with premium showers and the jacuzzi in the master bedroom was wonderful. Our whole experience staying here was amazing. We’ll be back!

Really magnificent location; really lovely home. My family of seven adults (three couples and one single) booked this house MONTHS in advance and had a good number of choices. We were really happy with this selection. The four main bedrooms are well laid out and well situated; each couple felt like they had great privacy and good bathroom access. The master is gorgeous; but defnintely bright starting early, so bring a sleep mask if you are light sensitive. The shared space was generous and once you open the glass doors to the yard, the entire ocean feels like it's part of the family room. We enjoyed watching the sea life (we saw dolphins almost daily). The kitchen was well stocked. The garage had a great supply of pool floats, sand chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear. There's a small beach located inside the gated community that is wonderful for young kids and timid swimmers and a larger public beach just half a dozen houses away walk along the sea wall for more beach time. The walk to downtown Kona and all it has to offer is easy; the longest part is the walk to get out of the gated community. Communication with the management company was great; they answered questions and helped with any needs. The private pool was a huge plus and we definitely took advantage. Couple considerations for future enhancements; we would have enjoyed a coffee table for drinks/games in the family room area and a couple bikes in the garage to ride into town or along the beach road. This is a wonderful, comfortable, well cared for property with a spectacular view. Deserves nothing less than 5 stars!

This home in Kona Bay Estates was everything I could have dreamed of and exactly what was listed. The location is great being within walking-distance of restaurants, shops, and any needs you may have while staying. It is right next to the Kekei Ponds which are shallow Todd pools with aquatic life life at low tide a day shallow part of the ocean at high tide…absolutely amazing! You have @ 230 degree ocean views from the point next to the hammocks. The home is part of a gated/secure community. It is very spacious with more than enough room for the 9 people (2 families) that stayed. The kitchen has everything you may need for cooking and hosting. A majority of our time was spent at the outdoor lanai and hammocks soaking up the sun and surrounding ocean sounds and views. We were truly amazed by this home and have already been dreaming of our next stay here. Book this home if it is available…

We have traveled well in 40 countries in 50 years and this beats everything --ever. The setting on the ocean is beautiful, but that applies to several homes in the same location. This one is extra special because of the furnishings, the extensive landscaping, the negative edge pool, the arge complete kitchen, and the hundreds of extras provided, like ALL the dishes and utensils you could possibly want, a shower in the master suite that you never want to leave, softest towels ever, robes, mosquito netting on the beds, gorgeous art in every room-- even the shower--indoor AND outdoor dishes, fountains and outdoor lighting on timers, 3 complete well- separated suites plus an additional room and extra space for more, outdoor barbecue, numerous 12 foot tall doors that enable full indoor -outdoor living; I could go on and on. The owners are super responsive, the on-site host as well. IF this place is available, book it now!

This property did not just meet expectations, but exceeded them in every sense imaginable. It was a great location to town, walking distance to a small, secluded beach. It had space for the entire group to spread out, but also great spaces for everyone to enjoy time together. We can't wait for our next visit!! ALOHA and MAHALO!!
