Residents' Beach House American • $$
100 Kaupulehu Dr, Kailua-Kona

“We really enjoyed our experience here. The service was attentive but not intrusive, the prices were reasonable, and the ocean view was absolutely beautiful. The octopus salad was especially delicious.

The only small downside was the lack of non-alcoholic wine or non-alcoholic prosecco. Also, when desserts were described, the Kona coffee mud lava cake turned out to be ice cream, which was a bit unexpected.

Overall, a great place with wonderful atmosphere and food. We would definitely come back“

“I am so in love with this place!!! I feel peaceful, happy, safe, accepted as I am!!! Met lots of super nice people here as well! It started when my friends invited me to meet them 10/23/2021, at the Mask at 1pm- I stayed till closing- they have karaoke songs, I love music! Then asked the owner if I could have my birthday party there. He surprised me by saying “yes” long story short- the rest is history. I look forward to going there, the bartenders are ohana (family) to me, so are the patrons, I feel a connection to others. Comfy, cozy, casual or dressed up, it doesn’t matter!!! Everything they have there I enjoy, trivia, darts, pool table, karaoke, drinks, sells lau lau (a local favorite, pork/salt butterfish in taro leaves-steamed to perfection, so ono -delicious) I am just a regular person, authentic and honest - like the people who are there. It’s a everybody type of place from all walks of life!!! Mahalo for reading my recommendation and hope to see you here! A hui Hou (until we meet again) if you read any bad comments-it’s the person, not the place. Aloha my friends!!! Xoxo 😘 me Ke Aloha pumehana ❤️“

The coconut shrimp, with either sauce (although I loved the sweet chili), both panko and beer battered fish and chips were delicious, and I never expected to find THE tastiest BLT sandwich I have ever eaten!“
