About this property

Hale Kona Kai 212 - Absolute Oceanfront condo with large wraparound lanai

Welcome to Hale Kona Kai 212, a beautiful oceanfront corner condo with wraparound lanai, located on the Kona Coast in the heart of Kailua Kona, Hawaii. This stunning property offers an unparalleled experience with its absolute oceanfront position, providing guests with breathtaking 180-degree unobstructed ocean views that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own wraparound lanai. This comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo is perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. The spacious bedroom features a luxurious King-sized bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep while you listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean.

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.

Designed for comfort and convenience, this unit features a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and stove, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay. The living area is inviting and equipped with a television and high-speed internet, perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.
Step outside to the wraparound lanai, where you can soak up the sun or enjoy a meal al fresco while taking in the stunning ocean views. The property also boasts an oceanfront pool, providing a refreshing escape just steps from your door.

Additional amenities include air conditioning, elevator access, and enhanced cleaning practices to ensure your stay is both comfortable and safe. The condo is wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for all guests. UV film on the sliding glass door and windows protects the interior from the sun, but does not distort your perfect ocean view.

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.

Included: iron, hair dryer, starter kit that includes shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, and a small bag of Kona Coffee.

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.

Located in the vibrant Kona area, Hale Kona Kai 212 is just a short distance from local attractions, including beautiful beaches, shopping, and dining options. Whether you're looking to explore the underwater wonders through snorkeling, enjoy a day of deep-sea fishing, or simply relax by the pool, this property is the perfect base for your Hawaiian adventure.

Hawaii, a dream destination, often surprises first-time visitors. The ocean, usually serene and calm here in Kona, transforms into a powerful surf break during winter. If you're staying in an oceanfront unit, “surf's up” might mean experiencing ocean spray while relaxing on the lanai. If your bedroom faces the ocean, the sound of the waves could keep you awake at night. Some find it soothing, while others find it disruptive. These factors are crucial to consider when booking an oceanfront property.

Hale Kona Kai is situated as close to the ocean as a building can be. The angle of the building and the location of the condo units determine their proximity to the water. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We manage several units in this building and are happy to assist you in finding the best unit that suits your needs.

Host was very responsive, the place was clean and well-equipped. Of course the view is extraordinary. I would add as one who focuses on scuba diving, this place was perfect. Short drive to Honokohau Hatbor. Elevators and nearby parking garage for lugging gear. Large lanai for drying gear (but do not hang over rails). And they actually have a sign at the pool that says it’s OK to rinse your gear in the poolside shower. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful oceanfront location. Watching turtles, fish, and eels from the balcony every morning was a highlight. This condo has beach chairs, an umbrella, and small cooler so we were set for the beach. We walked to Kailua Kona and to local small beaches but still recommend a car because you don’t want to miss Kohala beaches or Volcanoes park and they require a drive. The only drawback of this condo is that it feels damp but we understood that this will happen when your balcony is literally 20 feet above the surf.

Everything was wonderful. The unit is small but great use of space and was very comfortable for the two of us. We loved the wrap around lanai and appreciated the high bar stool bistro set and spent most of our time out there. Tracy was very responsive to any questions we had. It is a perfect location and within walking distance to downtown Kona with plenty of shops and restaurants.

This property has a perfect blend. Near enough to Kailua-Kona to walk to shops and restaurants, but down the beach enough for quiet privacy. The bed was very comfortable and the nearby "Absolute Oceanfront" surf provided the perfect background for restful sleep. Great water pressure in the shower. The wraparound lanai allowed us to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The swimming pool gave us another option for sun and swimming. Magic Sands Beach is about 2.5 miles away with ample parking. We appreciated the covered dedicated parking space. The two air conditioning units allowed us to set the temperature right where we wanted it. Most of the time, we opened the windows and the lanai door to enjoy the balmy weather. We had a fantastic stay.

STUNNING. You can see the ocean from every room except the bathroom.

The view is incredible and has a GREAT patio with various seating options. The bed is fine, they have LOTS to do in the condo itself (games, books, beach toys), but the location is the real star. It is close enough to walk to shopping, but not quite in the middle of any loud bars or hotels, so it's quiet. I can't say "the view is incredible" enough, so the view is incredible!

2 weeks in paradise

We've stayed here several times before. You just can't beat the location. Being so close to Kona allowed us to not have to worry about parking because we could easily walk to anywhere on Ali'i. Ample restaurants and shops and a farmers market with fresh fruits made it very convenient. All in all, a great two weeks!

Well appointed ocean front unit easy walking distance to food and shops.

Positives: This is about as ocean front as you can get! The views and sunsets are amazing, even saw whales in the distance and fish jumping. The interior is nicely appointed and decorated by someone who knows what they are doing and cares. Very comfortable and roomy, kitchen was well stocked and ice already made. Lots of hot water quickly. Short walk to "On the Rocks" which we enjoyed on a previous visit to Hawaii and did again this trip, also close to coffee other food and shops. Negatives: The first three days of our visit the waves were unusually high and soaked our lanai constantly to the point we could not use it. Water even came in through the kitchen window louvers so we had to keep it shut at all times. We probably should have been warned about this in advance, so we did not have use of the lanai area for these days and we were paying a premium for this location so we did not get our full monies worth of use. Parking spot was very tight and challenging to get in and out of. The only thing missing in the rooms was tissues, normally provided. There was one light by the pool at night that was not properly shielded and it lit up our bedroom windows and lanai more than it should have, annoying when on the lanai in the dark. I was told there was snorkel gear available so we did not bring our own but could not find any in the room. Overall a really nice condo in a stunning location and very pleasant ten day stay.

Yep, right on the bluff

Windy stay while we were here so surf blew onto the deck. The unit has a dining table and tall bar table/stools outside and I wish we'd been able to use them more consistently. The surf was noisy, too, but who doesn't love the sound of surf. Size of the unit and convenience was great.

Wave rider

What a wonderful experience we had staying at HKK 212. When we booked we were a little sceptical about going to a new destination (especially Hawaii) without staying at a resort, but once we opened up the door and saw the view and heard the waves crashing upon the rocks, we knew we had made the correct choice. We ate dinner most night on the balcony because there is no better view of the water and the sunsets in Kona. Plus the privacy was top notch. Some other added bonuses were: The unit was very clean and there is no lack of hot water and the shower head pressure is awesome. Also the AC worked almost too good. lol. Thanks Tracy for such a wonderful and much needed stay.

Graduating Granddaughter

We love 212 and come often, usually twice a year. This time there was an issue with the hot water but we had constant contact with the property manager on timing of repair. Issues happen in an older building. They were nice enough to give us a refund for the issue. The condo is in a perfect location for us, it is equipped well with whatever you might need. We have brought our Italian Granddaughters and well as our American Granddaughter with friends several times. Hopefully the maintenance issue will be fixed, if any, on our nest trip.

Unit this is vacation perfection in every way. We immediately felt relaxed and at home because of the attention to detail in every room. We couldn’t have asked for anything more to enjoy our stay. Don’t let the slightly warn appearance of the property scare you away from this perfect unit with a wraparound lanai affording unbelievable views. The condo was exactly as shown, clean, roomy and a great getaway for two. We would recommend it to anyone looking g for a perfect home away from home.
