Aloha. Hale Kona Kai is known for its location. It is a small, quiet, well-kept complex within easy walking distance of Kona’s downtown. It’s surfside, about the closest you can get to the ocean unless you are swimming.

Our unit, #202, is on the south end of the building providing additional privacy away from the pool and away from the other wing. Most of what you see is the ocean. Hale Kona Kai’s units are one-bedroom and the property is entirely non-smoking, with easy high-speed Wi-Fi access. Its proximity to the ocean makes it a wonderful place to kick back with a cool drink to enjoy nature’s many offerings oceanfront. If cooking doesn't feel like a vacation there are dozens of restaurants to choose from within walking distance and many more a short drive away.

Begin your day with breakfast on the lanai, watching a school of spinner dolphins swimming by---it is a fanciful show. Looking south you can also see the accomplished surfers. At lunchtime you will likely watch sea turtles sunning themselves on the lava rocks just feet below our lanai, and no one will want to miss the unobstructed view of the romantic sunset. You will not tire of the beautiful scenery throughout the day as it is ever changing. Many guests comment on their restful sleep as they are lured into the land of nod by the rhythms of the ocean surf.

This unit has been tastefully renovated and is well-maintained. It has a comfortable new king-sized bed, a fully-equipped kitchen, fresh paint, a fully tiled shower, and new appliances. It is decorated with a “spirit of aloha” and ready for your enjoyment with all the comforts of home. We leave the condo outfitted as we want to find it when we come to stay.

We have many repeat visitors year round. The building has a heated pool, reserved parking, an elevator, and on-site coin laundry facilities on each of the three floors.

There is so much to do on The Big Island. Here is a just small list: swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, snorkeling, golfing, hiking, kayaking, walking, whale watching, scuba diving, biking, shopping, dining, and more. There is also great bird watching, botanic gardens and waterfalls to see, and don’t forget the many sacred Hawaiian ancient sites. If you’ve ever thought you’d like to see a volcano close up this is your chance! The Big Island has a little something for everyone and it never feels crowded.

The thing most people ask after visiting is when they can return.

Mahalo for viewing at our listing we look forward to hearing from you.

  • We will definitely be back. I can’t get over the ocean sounds it permeates throughout and I have never slept better. This is truly the way to stay in Kona.- Tracy and Mike, San Diego, CA November 2009

  • We very much enjoyed our stay in unit 202! It is a perfect location for short walks into town & a good base point for visits to other areas of the island. We have come to the Big Island several times & this is the best Kona location we have stayed in. The condo had everything we needed - including plastic wrap to store your leftovers or half grapefruit, papaya, etc. We appreciated the small cooler to pack water, snacks, etc. for the longer day trips & were also glad for the beach towels. The lanai was perfect for breakfast in the morning, afternoon relaxing cocktail or dinner in. (we don't need to eat out every night, especially after a long day, grab some Killer Tacos & all set). Loved the place. Will definitely consider coming back next time we come to Kona. Very quiet, no street noise or neighbor noise.

    Love the quiet and privacy here---will absolutely consider coming back again, great location, did not use the a/c as the breeze and fan was enough.

    Everything we could possibly need in the kitchen, great beach equipment…the lanai was our favorite spot both for breakfast and after a full day. We will be back.

    We had a fantastic time at your condo…the lanai was amazing. We spent most night dining on the lanai instead of eating out, we simply couldn’t let the view go to waste. Mahalo to the owner, we will be back.

  • This is a fantastic place to stay. We walked to the farmers market and coffee shop each morning and returned with our goodies to enjoy on the lani. Decor was perfect and many additional beach items were provided. The building is definitely showing its age but so are many of the condos in this area. All the pieces worked so it did not bother us other than the low shower head which my 6’4 husband probably wasn’t fond of. The kitchen had all the necessary pieces to cook delicious dinners which we once again enjoyed on the lani. (We did venture out of the condo but I can't say enough good things about the lani and the view). We saw dolphins spinning and flopping their way up and down the coast. Dinner and a show! This place is on its own road off Alii Dr so you don’t get the road noise that some places have. We would highly recommend this place.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    The bathroom was beautifully remodeled right after this guest departed, which included raising the height of the shower head.

  • I just wanted to let you know much we enjoyed the condo. It had everything that we needed plus was nice, clean, and comfortable.  It's such a great location for walking to town; restaurants, shops. and the Farmers Market.  I think we spent 1/2 our time sitting on the lanai watching the water with the cruise ships, Para sailors, kayakers, etc..  There's nothing better then listening to the ocean at night while falling asleep.

    We love how clean the unit is and how close to town. We’ve been to the Big Island 7 or 8 times and this is by far our favorite condo.

    The condo is absolutely beautiful. It has everything we needed and “wow” what a view! Great location close to everything. Spent many pleasant times on the lanai with a nice glass of wine… We are already thinking about our next visit…
