About this property

Hale Kona Kai 401 - Absolute oceanfront condo with wrap around lanai

True and absolute top floor oceanfront condo with large wrap around lanai (balcony), affording unobstructive ocean views. 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.

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.

King bed in the master
Queen sofa bed in living room.
Remodeled kitchen and updated bathroom that offers shower over tub.
Island inspired decorations and attention to details.
Dining and chaise on the lanai.

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. Non-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkeling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.

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 united 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.
The complex offers many great amenities, including an elevator for easy access for everyone. On the ocean side you will find a heated salt water swimming pool and a barbeque area at the south end of the complex. Laundry machines are available on each floor.
Each unit offers central air conditioning, assigned parking, secure high speed WIFI, cable TV.

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 non-smoking facility, and there is no smoking allowed in any unit.

Best, unobstructed sunset view from beautiful balcony, and unit was very clean! Walking distance to downtown, so convenient. But the property itself is dated and could use a little TLC. Also, be sure to bring lots of quarters for laundry.

We loved seeing and hearing the ocean waves from our windows and deck! This is a top-floor end unit and we never heard any neighbors or cars. Kitchen and bathroom were generously stocked with essentials and amenities, and everything was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

This was the best-equipped kitchen we've ever stayed in, and I loved the recliner. The pillows on the bed were the too-stuffed kind, but happily we found smaller ones in the box on the closet shelf. Great to have the portable beach chairs. I'm glad we had good weather at mealtimes, because there really isn't a comfortable indoor option. Maybe a coffee table?

Quiet Stay in the Thick of the Action

We loved staying in this beautiful condo on the edge of the sweet town of Kona. Walking distance to the heart of town, yet a very peaceful --the sound of the waves crashing below drowned out any sounds of resorts and water play. The extra perk was that the managing company supplied items like laundry soap, dishwasher soap, etc. so that we didn't need to buy a lot of things that we wouldn't use up during our stay. Delightful stay.

Wonderful Location, Unbeatable View

I love being right above the water, literally on the ocean above a break wall. Colorful reef fish are visible when the waves are calm. The condo units all face west for beautiful sunsets. I also like how close it is to central Kona, easy to walk to many restaurants. Communication and service was excellent, too.

Terrific location and one bedroom condo. You can sit on the balcony and watch the sea all day and night. Surfers everyday about 200 yds to the south. Occasionally spinner dolphins in the morning. Great sunsets. Nicely furnished and a well equipped kitchen. A short walk to town and restaurants. The on site host, Kona Beach Properties, was terrific. Friendly, convenient and very responsive.

Amazing vacation spot!

Located close to everything with plenty to do. And when we were still, we enjoyed every second of just relaxing on the lanai and watching the waves hit the tide pools. Everything we could have needed was provided and we had the MOST comfortable bed ever. The host was very friendly and communicative.

Fabulous Vacation Rental

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there in Kona. Our unit had a fabulous view of the ocean onto two sides. We loved throwing open the doors and listening to the sound of the water day and night. The kitchen had all the amenities you could need. There was adequate space for both of us.

Perfect place to stay in Kona

The place was clean, well decorated, had amazing views, great location, and Tracy was an amazing host and very responsive to queries. I would stay here again next time I am in Kona. The place is just a 5 min walk to downtown bars and restaurants, though it’s hard to even want to leave the balcony - I could have spent all day up there just watching the waves and fish!
