About this property
Hale Kona Kai 312 - Absolute Oceanfront Condo with wraparound lanai
Hale Kona Kai unit 312 is one of our most popular units at Hale Kona Kai. This 3rd floor corner unit features a wraparound lanai facing west and south for full, unobstructed ocean views and the best possible breeze! The unit has been beautifully updated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay on top of the ocean. Central air conditioning keeps the unit comfortable, especially on those warmer days and nights. The most up-to-date internet/wifi equipment' features high speed wifi, a necessity for "working" remotely where Zoom conference calls may be necessary. Watch never-ending spectacular sunsets from the comfort of your lanai.
AIR CONDITIONING UPDATE - January 2026 In the late fall of 2025, the central air conditioning system at Hale Kona Kai was replaced. The HVAC equipment that services the individual condo was also inspected, with and any and all required maintenance/repairs completed. The air conditioning is in peak condition at this time.
Amenities include: Small appliances include a hair dryer and iron. Designated parking stall at no charge
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. Non-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkeling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.
The ocean is teeming with life! Sit on your lanai and watch spinning dolphins year around and humpback breaching just offshore during the winter and spring months. Turtles and eels find plenty of sustenance in the tide pools. Wake up and fall asleep to the calming sound of the ocean.
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 a special complex right on the ocean in the heart of Kona. It is a short walk to anything you need; restaurants, entertainment, shopping and beaches. An elevator provides easy access. The property boasts an oceanfront pool. BBQ area is located at the south end of the property. Coin Laundry rooms are available on each floor. An elevator allows for easy access.
The island has many resort-quality golf courses, the closest one within 5 miles. There are plenty of places to snorkel from shore, or take a snorkeling cruise.

Clean property, private lanai, assigned parking - great location! We had a wonderful stay, fully furnished for our needs, walking distance to Kona Town.
The view was simply fantastic, we spent a full day on the porch. The place was clean, well maintained, and spacious. My only 2 minor complaints: the couch had 4 legs on the front, both me and my wife stubbed our feet on them. Also, related, I would suggest moving the coffee table away from the couch.
Great condo with wrap-around lanai over tide pools. Very well maintained. Well stocked kitchen.

Great unit with fantastic location!
This corner unit over the water is wonderful. Extremely well equipped and comfortable. If you like the sound of waves crashing all day and night this is unbeatable!
Very clean, well furnished beautiful unit. I wish there had been a small table at which to eat inside the condo (rather than having to sit on a stool at the counter with your back to the view) Loved being there.
We couldn't be happier with the views, location, amenities, and, decor of the condo. The sunsets were incredible and the condo exceeded our expectations. We felt so comfortable there and enjoyed our whole experience. It provided a relaxing atmosphere that made our trip even better.
Thanks for the wonderful accomodations.

Lovely Experience
A perfect place to celebrate a milestone birthday. We made a point to be on the lanai for every sunset. In fact, that is where we were most of the time. We will look forward to coming back again.

Excellent unit prime location
Excellent unit very comfortable with a sensational view. All the comforts of home. Tracy provided excellent management service and always was available.
We loved this condo with its wrap around balcony and ocean views and sounds! Prime location - able to walk easily to many restaurants and shops. Condo was well stocked with everything we needed plus more. Hopefully, it will be available on our next trip to Kona.

Amazing views located right next to the ocean. Nicely decorated with everything we needed from soap to shampoo to beach chairs and beach towels. King size
bed was very comfortable. Wrap around Lanai was great and right next to ocean. It was very close to downtown Kona. Parking was easy with an assigned space. One of the best places we have stayed!

Thanks Sylvia. We look forward to having you back soon!
The view, every morning, afternoon and evening (including an incredible sunset everyday!) made our stay very memorable. The apartment is very confortable, very clean, and beautifully decorated. Kitchen is fully equipped and cabinet filled with essentials (S&P, oil, spices etc) to prepare your next meal with a beautiful ocean view. Perfect for our getaway and conveniently located near great restaurants and stores… we already miss the sound of the waves but we will be back one day!

Simply the Best!
I cannot say enough to accurately reflect how much we enjoyed our stay. We were fortunate to enjoy 12 glorious days watching stunning sunrises and sunsets from the well appointed lanai that overlooked the ocean. Traci and team ensured that we had everything to make our stay memorable. The kitchen is well-appointed with a great assortment of dishes and cookware. We had plenty of staples - paper towels, tissue, soap, etc. The AC worked great but we didn't use it much instead preferring the ocean breeze. We love the convenience of the location so close to restaurants and shops. This our third stay at this complex and I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Highly recommend!

Loved The View
Loved the view. We had two whale sightings during our stay while enjoying morning coffee on the lanai. Room came with all the amenities. One thing we would have liked is a washer/drier in the room, rather than down the hall. Close proximity to Kona shopping and restaurants.
Sunsets and rainbows at the same time! Yellow fish easily visible by the shore from the balcony. Waves crashing against the rock (sometimes pretty loud!). Gorgeous views from all rooms. Great place to hang out and relax and easy walking access to main town. Lovely!
