Set amidst a backdrop of lush tropical landscapes, Hale Kunu is your oasis for relaxation and rest. But when you’re ready to get out and explore, you’re minutes away from the very attractions that draw visitors to the island. Kealakekua Bay is one of the best snorkeling spots in the entire state of Hawaii due to its spectacular coral reefs. Keauhou Bay has some of the best snorkeling on the planet, with the night dives among Manta Rays being an experience you’ll never forget. Explore Hawaiian history when visiting the nearby petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings dating all the way back to the 16th century.
When in Hawaii, you must of course make the most of the many beaches, hikes, and water activities available. Make sure you also dive into the unique culture of Kona, where coffee shops source beans straight from Kona coffee farms, Big Wave Golden Ale is brewed fresh at the Kona Brewpub, and local farmers markets are teeming with artisan goods and just-harvested produce.

Property was perfect for our family of four. Our two teens loved playing pool down in the common area. Loved sitting out on the lanai in the morning, listening to the waves crash. It had everything we needed to spend time at the beach, and then everything needed to enjoy a home cooked meal at the end of the day.

Mahalo for the lovely review! Glad the teens enjoyed the common-area pool and that mornings on the lanai with the sound of the waves were memorable. Happy the beach gear and kitchen had everything your family needed — we’d love to welcome you back to Grand Welcome Hawaii.
This is one of the nicest VRBOs I’ve stayed in. It felt like home. Everything was extremely well kept and the layout was extremely functional for our family of 4. We enjoyed daily breakfast on the lanai, days at the pool, and had an amazing time all round.
The host was organized and facilitated the delivery of medical equipment prior to our arrival. The host was extremely responsive on all communications.

Aloha Jennifer, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad the medical equipment delivery was arranged smoothly and that our team was responsive throughout your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you — Grand Welcome Hawaii
Outstanding place to stay! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with small appliances that would be great for making meals during a longer stay. Everything was in great working order. Hard to beat having the beach and ocean just across the street. The only downside was the extra effort necessary to complete the registration process. They requires an extra series of documentation that comes not from VRBO which seems more like spam.

Very comfortable, well stocked and maintained property. Lovely layout, beautiful bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, great amenities like beach chairs, a cooler, etc. Supplied with papertowels, toilet paper, soaps in kitchen and bathroom, hair dryers. Everything you need. This was a great unit, we would definitely rent again.

Mahalo, Christine, for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you found the property comfortable, well stocked, and equipped with everything you needed for a great stay. It’s great to know you enjoyed the layout, amenities, and thoughtful touches. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again soon!
This was a great location. The property was very nice. Well stocked with kitchen needs, beach towels and accessories. Beds were comfy! Would definitely stay here again!
Amazing location!!! Beach across the street is perfect for families, catching waves and much more. The coolers, beach chairs and snorkel equip was a huge plus. Loved this place.
This condo offered many amenities including beach chairs, an umbrella, and a boogie ward. The beach was right across the street. The kitchen was well stocked. It was a short drive to many restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.
Property was clean, check in was easy, parking was easy, and house was pretty well equipped for our stay! Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, noodles for the pool, beach towels and kitchen was also pretty well equipped. The apartment is on the 3rd floor but there’s an elevator to make bringing stuff up and down pretty easy! The beach is so close and beautiful- we even spotted whales early in the morning!!!
My family of six had a fantastic vacation here! Clean, well stocked, great location. Really appreciated having tennis and pickleball equipment and the essentials for a day at the beach: cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and a couple lifejackets. The beach across the street wasn't sandy while we were there unfortunately but we knew that was a possibility. Walked over there every night for the beautiful sunsets though! We played in the pool and hot tub a bunch but something to keep in mind: the pool gets deep pretty quickly so not very little kid friendly. Would definitely recommend this condo!
This was a great stay! Our condo was nicely done and very clean. It was also nice and quiet. We never heard neighbors beside us. You could hear kids playing at the pool in the evening, but it didn't bother us. Pool closes at ten.We enjoyed playing pickleball and going to the beach across the street. We went to to many beaches, and the one across the street was our favorite. Note that it can have some pretty big waves. There were tons of kids playing, but if you have a young, inexperienced swimmer, take caution. The house had a fully stocked kitchen. We were able to save a lot of money cooking at home. Obviously everything is really expensive in Hawaii, so that was nice to have a kitchen. Note that they provide coffee for one-two days, so make sure to grab some at the store if you are staying longer. There is a restaurant across the street, which is convenient, especially if you get in on an evening flight. On Tuesdays, they have a walk up window with a Taco Tuesday deal. Take advantage of that!I like that this place was a little further up the road from the heart of Kona. There is a lot of traffic on the main road, so this was nice to be further away, but we could drive downtown in just a few minutes. I think there's also a bus option, but we did not take it. A lot of places in Kona are paid parking, so this one was awesome that it had its own parking space included with the price. I would definitely recommend this condo and we would stay again.
