Great getaway!
My husband and I stayed at the 1 bedroom until for 16 glorious days. It was the perfect place on the island for a home base. We drove all over the island. The unit itself is well loved. A little shabby and worn, but very comfortable and clean. We loved the screened in lanai. We had coffee and breakfast out there every day. The sunsets were fantastic. It was also cool in the evenings, perfect for sleeping. George was great to work with, he left us fresh avocados. They were delicious! All in all we had a fantastic stay. We hope to be back! Mahalo

First time to big island
This is the first time to the big island and we wanted a place to see the coastline. The property pics show more than actual with tree growth but we really spent most of our time out exploring.

Best Value in All of Kona!
Hale Koa exceeded all of our expectations. The location is perfect as a base to tour the entire island. It is on a working farm with macadamia nut trees, tangerine trees, orange trees, and avocado trees in the backyard. From the kitchen, you look over the orchard trees to see the sunset into the pacific ocean. It is far from the daily gridlock of Kailua-Kona. Not modern, just a very functional bungalow. I would advise anybody coming to the Big Island to stay at Hale Koa. George and Ed were super helpful and friendly. They sent us pictures to navigate to the bungalow. Without their pictures we never would have found this little slice of paradise.

DO NOT STAY HERE
This place is NOT how it was listed. Upon opening the door it had a strong awful smell. Very outdated, where to start? The bedroom had large cobwebs and rusty fixtures. The kitchen had exposed ant baits, I refrigerator I would not put anything in, the bathroom was not fit to get clean in. Dead bugs stuck to the ceiling. We arrived late at night and left first thing in the morning after taking lots of pictures and moved to another place. I slept in my clothes, I felt so dirty in this place.

Perfect location for snorkeling
I stayed in the larger room. Although it is old, it was well cleaned and everything worked well. The sunset is beautiful, the croaking of frogs is a lullaby at night, and the sound of roosters is a wake-up call in the morning. The owner was very kind and friendly and made me feel at ease. I would definitely like to stay again.

Magic
This quaint cottage on a farm reminded me of stepping back in time to when things were more simple. Just a magical stay in old Hawaii with a gorgeous view of the sunset every single night= pure magic. Ed was a gracious host and George was the best, adding so much color and fun to our stay! We recommend this house and this host 100% and hope to be back soon!

Relaxing Locale
If you want a resort experience, this is not for you. If you want a relaxing place to use as your base for vacation this fits the bill. Property could use some updates, but given the rate we paid, we weren’t expecting the Ritz. The lanai and surrounding farm was a great setting. Property managers were responsive when an issue arose late at night. Didn’t see any icky bugs during our stay, which is always a plus. No A/C.

The perfect location on the Kona side of the big island. A cozy little getaway
Although the decor is a bit outdated, it was an excellent price point, clean, & had everything provided to feel as if it was my own home. I highly recommend this very convenient, quiet (except for the frogs at night & the rooster in the morning- which is everywhere in Hawaii) tucked away cottage!

Ample Lodging, great host & nice view ocean view from the lanai
Host was awesome & totally helpful, interactive to help us acclimate to the area. I'd lived in Hi for several years already & there to celebrate grandaughter's 5th BD, visiting my daughter in nearby Captain Cook...so had our own agenda already. Excellent location, host awesome, unit sufficient, but could use some updating of a few deteriorating furniture pieces, acrylic tub/shower chipped & worn with no plug for bathing, bathroom vanity also no plug for sink. Location, host & necessities to be comfortable & functional were there. Host was very connected in the beginning. Some improvements to above comments would greatly be appreciated, but overall (and having lived in HI a number of years) would have to rate a 4+) Worked well for us and our family visit, but could have been improved with some minor updates issued above.
