About this property

Oceanfront Blissful Sanctuary 🐳 Balcony that Almost Hangs Over The Ocean! 🐠 Hale Kona Kai 308

True and total oceanfront condo with a lanai (balcony) that almost hangs over the beach. See the ponds below where the turtle and the eels want to come and feed. Let the sounds of the sea make you sleep after a day of sightseeing or relaxation. Both the bedroom and living room face the sea, where dolphins can be seen all year round and whales in season.

Hale Kona Kai is an intimate, absolute oceanfront complex of 39 one-bedroom condos. Located on the outskirts of Kona City, it is off the main road providing calm, ocean-view relaxation from every module. Located just south of Royal Kona Resort, excellent dining at Huggo's or Don Beachcomber's is a two-minute walk away and other restaurants are just a fun stroll away. The white sand of Honl's Beach is less than a quarter-mile south and the Kona Farmer's Market half a mile north.

The complex provides an elevator with convenient access for anyone. On the ocean side, you'll find a heated saltwater swimming pool and a grill on the south side of the complex. Each floor has coin-operated washers and dryers for your use. Each condo does not have its own washer/dryer.

Each unit provides designated parking, safe WIFI, & cable TV. Both units, like lanais, are non-smoking and Hale Kona Kai is non-smoking.

This was a great location to walk the downtown. Also being just south allowed us to move about when kona closed down for ironman needs. I will say the view is lovely but you do face slightly sw so no sunset from lani. But that just means heading to the pool the sunset. Not a back option. Would definitely stay at this property again

The property is tired. The unit was tired but clean and tidy. I didn’t use the only on site bbq due to it being dirty and run down,BUT, you couldn’t find a more desired location. Beautiful ocean front. Walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. We walked everywhere except when exploring the islands sites and hikes,

Excellent location!

Great unit, although interior is a bit "worn", proximity to town makes it worthwhile. Waves on the shore lulled me to sleep every night & sunrise to sunset views from the lanai we're so beautiful & always different every day! Highly recommend these condos & hope to visit again soon!

Staying in Paradise

Waking up to the sound of the ocean at your window or from your lanai was breathtaking. Being able to hear the waves crashing against the rocks at night was relaxing. Easy access to the beach, main strip in Kona and all the restaurants and stores! Well worth the stay and definitely would recommend this condo and property to all my friends!

Great one bedroom condo with exceptional view.

Great location and incredible view. Short walk to restaurants and shopping The online pictures are accurate with the exception of the view, which exceeds what the photos are able to show. Well stocked kitchen. This is an older building, but if you are looking for a one bedroom condo with location and view, this condo cannot be beat. Would stay here again.

Gals trip to Hawaii

Our first time in Hawaii this condo worked out well. Great views of the ocean, nice pool, parking spot, working elevator, and walking distance to eateries & shoppping. Only one glitch, the hide-a-bed was broken so our 3rd person had to sleep in the sofa as is. We would stay there again.

Good location...AC was out, but fans were provided and sleeping was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, and this unit had beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, snorkeling masks, and some stocked supplies in the cupboard. Great for us.

Wonderful place to stay!!

We have stayed at Hale Kona Kai every year over winter holidays. We love the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks and the proximity to Kona. We also love the view of the activities right outside our deck. Some condos are more updated than others. We prefer to stay on the north side because of the sun. We highly recommend Hale Kona Kai!

Amazing Ocean Views

Well equipped condo with views of Boogie Boarders on late afternoon rides. Condo is well equipped and we cooked all meals in the condo and ate on the lanai watching whales and spinner dolphins in the morning. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Washer/dryer on each floor was so helpful as we moved from another location last minute.

Great Stay

View of the ocean was spectacular. Location was excellent. The unit had typical condo furniture and was very clean. The smoke alarm broke (continuous beeping) and when we contacted management it was promptly repaired. Improvements could include updated music system and a blender. After all we are in Margarita Ville.

Overalll...Not terrible

The location is great, view is awesome! Check-in and out were easy and communication was great. Saw some Sea Turtles in the tide pools just below our room and saw whales way out in the distance. The room is out dated and a bit musty smelling, but still clean. Had snacks and coffee as a small gift from owners which was very nice. Thank you!! Mahalo

Beauty and convenience

This property will delight all who come to Hawaii for the gorgeous beauty of the ocean. The view is perfect. You can watch surfers from the lanai as well as Spinner Dolphins. Just sitting and enjoying the stethoscope and sounds of the waves will melt your cares away. And it is only steps from town. You don’t even need a car. And the manager is super kind and responsive.

Dated property but great location

Overall, this was a great location to stay while we're in Kona. It's located walking distance to a few small beaches and all the shops. The property management company was great and extremely responsive! The rental is a little dated and had some items that looked like they hadn't been touched in a while (VHS tapes, dvd play, CD player, lots of dusty of cords). If you plan on working while you stay here, there were a few times where the wifi would drop randomly. Overall, not a bad place to crash while you are exploring the island.

Our Stay in Paradise.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hale Kona Kai on the Big Island. Everyone was so nice and loved the condo we stayed it. Had a really great view. We got to see a cute Sea Turtle swimming around this little area on the other side of the pool from our Lani and really cool yellow tangs. Watching the boats, parasailers, outrigger teams and even the various swim teams go by were awesome. The best was when we saw the pod of Spinner Dolphins jumping around out in the ocean from our lani. It was very hot with high humidity and it was great to have air conditioning. I would highly recommend starting here. Very short walk to Alii Dr were there are many shops and restaurants. Lots to see and you don't even have to drive if you don't want by. Very good location. We hated to leave.

DIRTY APARTMENT NOT A CLEAN CONDO

Overall a dirty place and very old and needs updating and an extremely DEEP CLEANING. No nice things dishes and silverware dirty and disgusting. Also no decor to speak of. My college dorm room was a palace compared to this guys' place. A luxury resort a few miles away was only a few dollars more per night. He's overpriced for this dump. STAY AWAY. WAAAY TOO EXPENSIVE. WE WON'T BE BACK.

Unit 308 has a terrible

Unit 308 has a terrible mildew smell problem. If you keep all windows and door closed the mildew smell is overpowering and probably unhealthy. We had to keep all windows and doors open with AC off to dissipate the mildew smell. In addition, the unit is very old, well-used and could use a lot of renovation. Given the smell and outdated unit, it is overpriced compared to others in the same complex. I would never stay in 308 again and would not recommend it to friends.

Very Disappointed

I have rented many condos over the years and owned one myself for 9 years at the Kona Makai. I have never seen a condo in such disrepair as this one. Chipped floor tiles, filthy front door screen, plus huge stains on the carpet. The fold out couch had a broken frame, and the shower curtain rod was so rusted that the rust got onto all of the towels. The entire complex is very run down and dirty. This unit should not be rented until repairs and upgrades are made.
