🌊 EPIC Oceanfront Condo at Hale Kona Kai #403, TOP FLOOR, ELEVATOR, CENTRAL AC 🐬

Aloha and welcome to HONU HIDEAWAY at Hale Kona Kai #403. This is the absolute destination should you want a relaxing vacation getaway on the Kona coast. The location of this condo complex adds convenience as fun activities and amenities are within walking distance. The condo has central A/C, along with complimentary cable and WiFi, and is located on the 4th floor (top floor) with no one above you, but don't worry this complex has an elevator making for easy steps to your paradise. Hale Kona Kai has assigned covered parking, a heated salt-water swimming pool, and laundry machines on each floor.

If you haven’t yet experienced a Kona sunset in person, you’ll enjoy the front-row seat the lanai offers! Upon entry, you are welcomed with ocean breezes and truly remarkable views. The ocean comes alive with the dolphins and yellow tangs that frequent the area. The turtles (Honu) are definitely regular special guests, in addition to the seasonal whales. The picturesque view from both the lanai and bedroom creates a beautiful setting for great memories.

We pride ourselves on cleanliness and make sure that we pay attention to all the details. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Also, beach gear is available for your use. Hale Kona Kai is a non-smoking complex.

Our renovated condo has the “Kona Beach Vibe” for you to enjoy during your stay.

Truly Epic

Honu Hideaway was amazing. This was a sister vacation for my sister’s 60th birthday. We arrived to a beautiful birthday flower arrangement, a fruit bowl, and several other goodies. The view is amazing! We spent much of our time on the balcony. The inside is perfectly decorated and comfy. No detail too small. I also appreciated the toiletries since my luggage didn’t arrive for several days. Perfection! We hated to leave!

Coastal Condo

Kailua Kona condo over crashing waves made our stay enjoyable. Condo is clean and decorated in coastal theme. Loved the thick turtle towels! We appreciated the owner provided coffee, fruit, Hawaiian cookies and chocolates. Location is great for walking to restaurants and shops. Condo on 4th floor (top) with elevator. Kitchen supplied with plates and silverware for us to make our breakfasts which we enjoyed on the outdoor patio.

Epic is an Understatement!

Wow! What a great property! Very nice condo, with plenty of room, very comfortable and a wonderful lanai to soak in the sun, ocean sounds and views, all immediately above the water! Only a few minute walk to town center, restaurants, bars, retail! Great pool to relax by and quiet. No road noises, only ocean surf. Great host by the way! Will stay again! Thanks!

The perfect condo in Kona

Everything about this condo was great. The lanai is right on the ocean with waves crashing below you. The location is a few minutes walk from some great restaurants (Hugo’s, on the rocks, Fosters Kitchen) but away from the busier and more touristy north end of town. There is a beautiful tennis center across the street where you can rent a court for 15. The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook a couple of meals, and the hosts left some delicious local goodies for us. We would definitely stay again whe we are back in Kona.

Amazing Ocean views and amenities

If you want a place to stay to relax and have access to so many wonderful adventures this is the place to stay. It is like staying in a top notch hotel with amazing views of the ocean. The condo is beautiful and filled with all the things you need to make your stay feel like your home away from home. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Perfect Escape

The perfect getaway for our anniversary trip! The condo was decorated to ensure a calm relaxing beach vibe. The bed was super comfortable, there were beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards supplied. We entered to Hawaiian music playing and a sweet note from Steve and Jenni. The lanai was wonderful to hear the waves and watch fish and turtles! And the location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping! Highly recommended and would stay here again!!!

Peace on earth!

This property is decorated so perfectly for a beach getaway. They have everything you need and more. They left a bowl of Island fruits for us to arrive to. The sound of the ocean being right below you is unbeatable. The location was spot on for being close to so many different forms of entertainment. We were able to walk to so many of our activities and restaurants. If you are looking for a nice place for 2 in a great location then this is the place for you.

A true Kona gem

This gem of a condo on the Kona coast is the perfect place to call home for a vacation stay! It is super conveniently located, very near great restaurants and shops.. although no need to go much further than Huggo’s… exactly as pictured and so much more! These hosts truly go the extra mile to make your stay really comfortable and enjoyable. From the stunning views, fully furnished accommodations, and all the beach, kitchen and vacation amenities you’ll need… this condo was 5 star all the way, from booking through check out! We absolutely loved our stay here and cannot recommend it highly enough!!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Lee

Host profile image
I relocated to the Big Island in the 1980s and had a long career as a general contractor. Since my retirement in 2020, I'm now able to fully enjoy my favorite hobbies, one of which includes deep-sea fishing! I love this beautiful island I call home.

Why they chose this property

This unit is not only in the heart of Kona Town, but also captures the beautiful oceanfront scenery that Kona is known for. Great eateries are within walking distance and you watch the marine life and popular water activities from the lanai.

What makes this property unique

I personally remolded this unit to ensure a beautiful visit upon entry. The attention to detail seamlessly flows from the front door all the way through to the Pacific Ocean horizon. Truly the best kind of "blues"!
