Kona Condo

The feds say 'kohola doin' mo betta'

Actually, the language was way more bureaucratic than that, of course.

There be recent news from the Mainland about humpback whales. The notion is that in Hawaiian waters, the humpback whale no longer needs the protection of the endangered species act.

A 90 day public comment period has commenced, according to Caleb Jones of the Associated Press, who covered the federal “blah blah blah blickety blick” on behalf of most of what’s left of the nation’s newspapers.

Here’s the Christian Science Monitor’s link to the the story: Save the whales? Why the humpback doesn't need protecting anymore.

Learn more about the Hawaiian Island’s population of humpbacks (kohola for you purists) at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary  Web site.

Check out an artist rendering of said humpies in Alaska by a noted artist who is so noted, he goes by only one name: Holiday greetings from Wyland.

And finally, for your planning purposes for the (cough, cough) booking of OurKonaCondo.com, the whale watching season in Hawaii runs roughly from December to May. For more info on the season and the watching of whales in general, check out Whale Watching in Hawaii, courtesy of GoHawaii.com.

Almost gone!

 

Not a big hue and cry about a set of Adams IDEA irons in the closet of Our Kona Condo, but “concerns” raised in the past about closet space being at a premium.

So, as the number of rounds played appears to be static vs. number of concerns about space for “stuff,” the clubs have been removed for evah!  

Bwah, ha, ha, ha!

Seriously, they can be made available in the future upon special request. You serious types pack your own clubs, you semi-serious types probably rent sets similar to the ones you have at home to spare the weight and baggage.  

That leaves the rest of us, who we will attempt to accommodate in the future. Just put the request in via the current management company listed above and we will give it the old college try.

As for the clubs and bag in the bedroom closet.

Gone!

(Much like today’s final offer for the time in May.  Just a few hours left on the deal of a lifetime. If you're viewing this post past 5 p.m Island Time April 17, 2015, it's GONE!)

Just in case you got a "D" in conduct in 6th grade and were not paying attention, we remind you, gentle visitors -- there is a smoking deal that is going "buh bye" at the end of the week on Our Kona Condo at Kona Isle.

Check here for more details. Special deal just for you will only be active until close of business Island Time on April 17. 

Meantime, don't listen to us rave about what a nice place it is from which to to base your Big Island adventures. Here's are some  comments written by a actual human beings and transcribed from our guest book:

"April 9 2010

I am so grateful to have had an oceanfront, clean condo decorated in decor that is warm & comfortable. We were very happy here. Also the bigger size bed sure helped us after an exhaustive flight & the shower was a delight. The dolphins & whales were a highlight to swim with. Our deepest appreciation.

Beautiful condo in a very quiet complex! We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed exploring the island. Had a very pleasant trip to Hapuna Beach & snorkeling @ the Cook Monument. Had a lovely time taking a day trip to Hilo & seeing beautiful waterfalls. Enjoyed lunch @ Bubba Gump’s but dinners at Lulu’s and Bongo Billy’s. While entertaining left a bit to be desired, can’t wait to visit again. Your condo is top notch . . . we’d love to stay again.

- Santa Cruz family

Great condo. Clean and quiet complex. We had a great 14 days! We look forward to returning.

We’ve been to this island about 25 times and have stayed at KI about 15 times Units (in E building) Your condo has the best breeze and a wonderful shower. Nice linens. We do wish we had more room in the bedroom closet. "

-Sierra Vista, AZ - traveling pair

- Thank you for visiting. If no one takes is up on the May special, we hope to create even more space for visitors in the bedroom closet.

One week in May, This week only!

If you haven't noticed, there's an oh-so-tremendous deal this week only on Our Kona Condo.

We know, we know, you don't keep up on such things in between shooting your bad self with your selfie stick, posting all about you on your social medias and, maybe, just maybe filing your taxes on time.

The deal currently offered on our beloved Kona Condo by the good Knutson & Associates people is this: Book the amazing Kona Isle D21 condo (rate so low for an oceanfront in Kona, we dare not whisper its name ) from  May 14th-21st. 

Mahalo for not even thinking about trying to do the Kona Grind on us, Ohanas. This is already a smoking' hot deal.

If you're viewing here before April 18, you can go here to check the rate yourself.

If you're on the fence about it, there's nothing like a deadline to motivate, eh?  This special offer absolutely and positively ends this Friday, April 17.

After that, it's gone, gone, gone.  

The conscientious, hard-working people responsible for the heavy lifting (u'know, stupid stuff like association fees, property and other taxes, etc.) are otherwise taking it out of the rental pool during this special time to give it some much needed R&R.
