About this property

Amazing Oceanfront Condo ๐Ÿ  with Out of this World Ocean Views! ๐ŸŒ… - Hale Kona Kai 203

  • True and Full 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 you can see dolphins all year round and whales in season. Home to central A/C, King bed, tub/shower combo, and outdoor dining.

    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 device. 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 offers an elevator that provides convenient access for all. On the ocean side, you'll find a heated salt water swimming pool and a grill on the south end of the complex. There are laundry machines available on each level.

    Each unit includes designated parking, safe WIFI, & cable TV. Both units, like Lanais, are non-smoking and Hale Kona Kai is non-smoking. Each floor has coin-operated washers and dryers for your use. Each condo does not have its own washer/dryer.

Fantastic stay

Location is 5 stars! Canโ€™t wait to return someday. Condo has all you need and beach chairs, boogie board, coolers and some snacks were a nice touch. Was nice to have some non perishables in the kitchen as well.

Multiple stays

Weโ€™ve stayed here multiple times because itโ€™s easy walking distance to the tourist part of Alliโ€™i Drive. Itโ€™s also right on the water and the views are completely unobstructed. Itโ€™s an older property, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. That doesnโ€™t bother us at all, and weโ€™ll continue to stay here.

Beautiful Ocean View and Great Location!

We enjoyed spending time on the lanai to dine, watch the sunset, and have a nightcap under the moon. The lanai practically hangs out over the lava rocks and the ocean waves are so peaceful. The location is convenient to shopping and restaurants including Quinns Almost By the Sea which is a huge Green Bay Packers bar. The building is older but parking is free, there is a gas grill on the property, the kitchen had everything we needed, and you canโ€™t beat the views. We would definitely stay here again.

Christmas in Kona

Views of and proximity to ocean are amazing! We spent lots of relaxing time on the porch overlooking the bay looking at sealife (fish, crabs, dolphins, a couple whales blowing and surfacing once, and a sea turtle right there below the condo porch. Condo complex quiet and peaceful with only sound of ocean to lull you to sleep at night A few minor improvement suggestions: microwave barely functional need combo to shed for trash disposal (key provided won't work on combo lock on shed) barely enough toilet paper and dishwasher detergent to get throught the week

Great location - nice extras

The location is fantastic. A breakfast nook that is almost right on top of the ocean. Perfect place to watch the beautiful sunsets. The unit included two Tommy Bahama chairs, which came in quite handy. They included a coffee maker and enough coffee for about 3 mornings - Thanks! Everything in Hawaii is damp due to the extreme humidity. Things also get sandy. For that reason, don't expect the same level of upkeep as the Hilton or Marriott, but overall the unit was clean. You don't go to Kona to sit inside anyway.

We booked this unit for January 24-27, 2026, but unfortunately only stayed one night before relocating. We received a full refund for the remaining three nights. We are frankly mystified by all the positive reviews. The unit showed significant wear and needs lots of attentionโ€“the building dates to 1972, according to real estate listings. The central AC is not operational, and the portable swamp cooler (bedroom only) was incredibly loud and ineffective, making sleep difficult. We noticed a persistent musty odor, possibly from visible mold and rust under the bathroom sink. General maintenance issues included chipped paint, rust on fixtures and throughout the unit, worn cushions, broken closet doors, and other items needing repair. The unit needs a significant remodel, including new flooring. The bed is adequate. Both TVs worked properly. Kitchen and bathroom worked as expected. The view from the deck is great. The unit sits directly over the rocks, so the surf is extremely loud even with doors closedโ€”something to consider if you're noise-sensitive. The location has potential, but the unit's current condition did not meet our expectations given the price point. We do not recommend this property in its current state.

Incredible Views

We booked this property for the incredible views and the location! Everything was just as described! Upon arrival the host had left us with a sweet note for our anniversary and some sweet welcome gifts. The property was comparable to the pictures shared. However, the three nights we were there construction crews were outside our balcony and working in the two rooms next to us as early as 8 am. I reached out to the host and was told to reach out to the property manager who was already aware. Aside from this issue, if the property were to receive some updating we would definitely consider staying here again not just for the location but the views! It literally is situated over the rocks and the crashing of the ocean waves so loud you can hear them even with the doors shut and A/C on! Awesome!

Location is the best

This particular unit truly needs updating. This is our third year staying at Hale Kona Kai, and we were disappointed. There was only the couch in the living room, and we were told the chair had broken and it hadnโ€™t been replaced. There was one very dim light in the living room, so reading in the evening was out. A screen was missing off one of the bedroom windows. We reported the fridge leaking the day after we arrived. It wasnโ€™t fixed for the rest of our stay-9 more days.on the plus side, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the lanai furniture was high for ocean views, and when we asked that the barbecue be cleaned, it was done that day. The location canโ€™t be beat for walking into town. We are returning next year, but in a different unit.

Hale Kona Kai

The property was as described online, check in to the property was simple, there is adequate space for a couple and the full kitchen was amply stocked with all you needed to prepare meals in house. We did not use the pool but heard sounds of others enjoying it. The property is in a very good location and walkable to many sights, shopping and restaurants on Ali'i Drive. And the view...amazing! However, there were numerous concerns I had regarding the cleanliness of the unit. Also, the afternoon sun, while beautiful, raised the afternoon and early evening temperature in the unit such that the room AC units were struggling to maintain the coolness. The stability and venting to the outside was inadequate and using the central air gave me pause due to the cleanliness. If issues were corrected (I have suggestions) I would definitely rate this property much higher and consider staying on my next visit.

Gimme Them Waves!

What I like best about our visits to Hawaii is going out onto the lanai an hour and a half before sunrise, sitting in the dark with a pair of binoculars, drinking coffee, and watching the world gradually get light. I see the moon laying a shimmering strip of silver across the blue-black sea; lights from planes, ferries, and an occasional cruise ship; even tiny lights on outrigger canoes; I hear the big waves exploding against the rocks below. Once the sun comes up, I sight an occasional humpback whale. And I remember why I'm there. Fifty extra degrees of Fahrenheit helps, too. For all this, there is no place better than Hale Kona Kai. We had a little trouble at the start: couldn't open the lock box to get our key. However, after we made a phone call, Ryan the property manager and handyman rushed right over and extracted our keys for us. The next day he re-attached some wires in the back of the TV, so we could watch in the living room as well as the bedroom. He was very friendly as well as knowledgeable and efficient. All in all, we had a wonderful week in Kona.
