About this property

Hale Kona Kai 201 - Kona Oceanfront

Hale Kona Kai Unit 201 has just completed a kitchen and full bathroom remodel along with all new flooring and fresh interior painting. This unit features a true and absolute oceanfront condo with large wrap around lanai that sits on top of the ocean. The view stretches from the Kaiwi Point and the Kailua Pier to the north, all the way to Ka'awaloa Point at Kealakekua Bay to the south. Watch the sea life in the tide pools and lagoon where turtles like to swim and eat. Let the sounds of the sea lull you to sleep after your day of sightseeing or relaxing. Both bedroom and living room face the ocean where you may see dolphins all year and whales when in season. This unit is elegantly yet simply furnished, decorated, and remodeled with modern materials and easy to clean surfaces.

King bed in the master (new as of 2024)
Queen sofa bed in living room (new as of 2024).
Remodeled kitchen and updated bathroom that offers walk-in shower
Island inspired decorations and attention to details.
Dining and chaise on the lanai.

Amenities include:
Hair dryer
Iron
Designated parking stall at no additional cost
Secure high speed WIFI, cable TV.
Central Air conditioning

Beach gear: this unit comes equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and a small cooler for guests use. It may or may not have some snorkel gear that was left by previous guests. We do not provide snorkel gear. Ill-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkeling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.

The complex offers many great amenities, including an elevator for easy access for everyone. Hale Kona Kai offers a secluded swimming pool tucked in between the ocean and the building. A BBQ is provided for guest use at the south end of the complex. Laundry machines are available on each floor. We carry quarters in our office for your convenience. Kona Beach Properties' office is located directly across the street from Hale Kona Kai.

Oceanfront property disclaimer: We're thrilled to share that this stunning oceanfront unit offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sparkling ocean and the beautiful reef below. During the Hawaiian winter, you might notice vibrant ocean swells and refreshing winds that truly showcase the island's lively spirit. These natural elements can create a delightful saltwater mist on the glass, which may slightly alter your view but adds to the charm of the experience. As you relax on the lanai, the high swells, strong winds, and occasional rain can bring a splash of adventure to your stay! We encourage you to embrace these wonderful aspects of island life when making your booking.

Hale Kona Kai is an intimate, absolute oceanfront complex of 39 one-bedroom condominiums. Located at the edge of Kona Town, it is off the main road providing for quiet, ocean view relaxation from every unit. Located next to Royal Kona Resort, the unit is very conveniently located to excellent dining. Huggo's and Don the Beachcomber's, landmark Kona restaurants, are right next door. Many other dining and entertainment options are all within easy walking distance. Honl's Beach is just south of the complex and the Kona Farmer's Market just a half mile to the north.

Hale Kona Kai is a non-smoking facility, and there is no smoking allowed in any unit or on any lanai.

Better Than Ever

I've stayed in this unit in the past as it is cozy, convenient and quiet. But on my most recent visit I found that it has gone through a complete renovation with a new tile bathroom, new kitchen with quartz countertops new appliances and new cabinetry. The lanai has been upgraded as well which makes for great morning cups of coffee and sunset cocktails. Its a small point but the assigned parking spot is directly under the unit which makes lugging suitcases and shopping bags easy. The rental agents, Taina and Tracy, are on site and helpful and very committed to insuring their guests have a worry free visit.

Condo was great. The views and sound of the waves crashing was amazing and just what my soul needed. The beach towels, cooler, chairs and boogie boards were awesome. Cindi was clean and and in good working condition. We loved the the location. I’d definitely stay here again!

The lanai makes this place!

We love this complex as it makes Kailua town totally walkable. While this unit is comparable to others, having the wrap around lanai so beautifully furnished had us sitting out there all day--morning coffee, conversations, reading, and watching the fabulous sunsets!

Relaxing week in Kailua Kona

This property is situated literally right off the oceanfront as waves hit the shore below the lanai. The location is within walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants, but would advise renting a car to enjoy other eateries in the area. The condo has air conditioning which was appreciated although the summer temperatures weren't oppressive. The living area including sofa, table with two chairs, and a kitchen with the essentials was fine to meet our needs, and the separate bedroom with comfortable king bed was nice. Picture window in the bedroom also overlooks the ocean. The bathroom is small, but adequate. The condo wifi wasn't working well, but we made-do without it. I was able to access the room key through the lockbox with code when we arrived, but trying to place it back into the lockbox when we departed was a struggle, so we left the key in the condo and left a message with the property manager. Overall, we had a very relaxing, pleasant stay in Kailua-Kona. This property isn't the lap of luxury, but does make for a very comfortable stay in Kona and the location can't be beat - Mahalo!

The view and location were very nice and as depicted, however security of the door security was poor, lock was falling off., the noise from construction was much greater than then indicated by ad, several days of jack hammering concrete on the room adjacent isn't acceptable, nether is the lack of running water during construction, basically the pool was off limits do to the construction, a consistent parade of workers walking by my girlfriend at the pool learning meant 20 minutes of pool time during a seven day stay.. Additionally, the credit received I do not feel was enough to compensate for the situation.

Oceanside Retreat

Great oceanfront property. Sitting on the lanei offered views of ocean life and spectacular sunsets. The condo was well equipped and offered all the comforts of home. The property was centrally located to Kona Town, restaurants and shopping with easy access to major roadways on the Big Island. We would definitely stay in this condo in the future. Mahalo

Great location, right above the water. Easy walking to all the restaurants and shops of Kona, while not getting stuck in traffic on the main drag. Close, covered parking location. The condo was nicely furnished and had most everything I needed. They could use soy sauce and some condiments for the fridge. In general it was a relaxing stay and just what I wanted.

Great locstion with gorgeous view

This is an unbelievable location in Kona on the rocky beach. Constant waves breaking close-up to the resort make for mesmerizing entertainment. Hale Kona Kai has a nice-sized pool, a great propane grill, and laundry facilities, and it's a short walk from the Kona bars and restaurants. This unit was well supplied with all the amenities you can think of. This place would have gotten 5 stars except for repeated reviews with complaints about the front door that sticks so bad you can hardly open it and has no deadbolt and the bed which creaks, cracks and groans everytime you move to the point of waking us up. These items need to be fixed and then all your reviews would be 5 stars. Great place!

Fabulous location!

What an amazing location! Right on the beach, we were able to look down to the tide pools and the sea from our lanai and saw turtles come in to feed every day, lovely bonus! The apartment needs some updating, but overall it was clean and comfortable and is just a short walk into the center of Kona. Also loved having a dedicated covered parking space so the car didn't get overly hot!

Kailua Kona Breathtaking Views

My wife and I love a great view. Our unit at Hale Kona Kai is one of the world’s best we have experienced. It compares with places we have stayed in Santorini, Paris, Rome, San Francisco, LakeTahoe, and Niagra Falls. We also love restaurants. This unit is a short walk (minutes) to everything from oceanfront fine dining to tiki bars with local fresh caught fish tacos. The unit was very comfortable for us. Any needs we had were responded to promptly. The unit provided all the equipment and tools we are used to having in our home kitchen to make gourmet meals to wine time snacks we enjoyed while watching daily glorious sunsets on our balcony watching the waves crash into the lava rocks directly below us.

Week's stay in Kona

View was phenomenal! Enjoyed our time in the unit. Things that kept it from being better than good was the front door sticks badly, and the AC still leaves things extremely wet. Yes, I know it's humid, but AC should pull out more of the humidity than this unit does. We did not use the individual units in the living room or bedroom, only the main AC unit.

Paradise

Aaaamazing! Impeccable view. Walking distance to town (5-7min). Plenty of beach accessories- boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, cooler. Had everything we need on vacation. The only thing that was an issue is the microwave is too small for the square plates provided @ the rental. The only ones that fit in the microwave are round and a little bigger than a saucer plate. I recommend a larger microwave or provide round plates. Definitely not a game changer. Loved the location. Would stay here again. Our parking spot was right below the condo. Up the stairs & your home. No long walking distances. Easy entry makes coming & going a breeze! Loved it!!

Perfection with one BIG flaw

AMAZING location! Walking distance to Kona Village, spectacular sunsets, waves crashing loudly just below us. Very quiet (except for the apparent National Irish Step Dancing Team above us). Yes, it was dated, but in a quaint way. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. The flaw? No central AC, just two very loud floor units blowing hot air onto the lanai. The BIGGEST charm of the place were those waves, which you could hear even through closed windows, but not if you were running the AC. Fix the AC and we'd be back.
