(458 reviews) The room was the most poorly equipped condo we have ever stayed in. Very few kitchen utensils, tiny skillets, tiny coffee pot. No food storage bags or covered containers. Rusty freezer. The outside facilities were nice, clean pool and hot tub, nice gas grills. Not enough umbrellas for shade. Stayed in E3, below street level. Would not recommend.

serene little beach last month. After turning off the highway there is a 2 mile drive over rocky unpaved terrain, but if you take it slow any kind of car should be able to traverse it. Our compact rental car did great. There is a parking area, and then a trail through the lava fields to the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000186518/06189210-055b-41e0-856d-9a1d32c2cc3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Mahai'ula Beach If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Mahai'ula Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Kailua-Kona. Wander the seaside or discover the area's sunsets. [](https://expedia.ca/Mahaiula-Beach-Kalaoa.d553248621555565565.Vacation-Attraction) ![#blue 50 Shades of Blue - Manini'owali Beach at Kua Bay, part of Kekaha Kai State Park, is another of the very pretty Hawaii Big Island beaches, with fine white sand that slopes gently to the beautiful clear turquoise water. The swimming here is awesome when the ocean is calm, and there can be some decent snorkeling along the rocky outcroppings at either end of the beach. During certain times of the year, particularly the summer months, the beautiful soft sand covers the entire beach from north to south. More lava rocks become exposed in the winter months as sand is carried out with the surf. Be aware of those rocks in the shallows when boogie boarding or body surfing. This is a good place to have water shoes to navigate across the rocks. Manini'owali Beach is one of the nicer Big Island beaches that is easy to reach from Kailua-Kona. You can practically drive right to the beach, and some days it seems everyone on the Big Island knows it! If you arrive later in the day, parking can be a little crazy, especially on weekends. As you approach the beach you may see cars lined up down the road. You may have to walk down the road a bit but don't worry; there's plenty of room on the beach! There is a rocky shoreline trail at the northern end of the beach that leads to another of our favorite Hawaii beaches, spectacular Kikaua Beach to the north. The trail winds through a lava field and across a coral beach less than a mile to scenic Kikaua Point.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000186518/edd6cf50-5be3-40ea-98a3-7ebaab98bfc8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Kekaha Kai State Park Enjoy a trip to Kekaha Kai State Park and popular activities like snorkeling in Kailua-Kona.
