About this property

KONA ALII 609 - IN TOWN WITH LOVELY VIEW!

What do you think of when you hear the word Hawaii? The beautiful ocean, swaying palm trees, volcanoes and endless adventures, beach hopping, shave ice, coffee, pineapples? Welcome to Hala Kahiki Retreat----from here you can experience all of the above and much, much more! Hala Kahiki Retreat is located in the heart of the historic Kailua Village right on Kailua Bay and you can walk to numerous restaurants, local shops, beaches or expand your horizons and rent a bike from the local bike share. Explore even further and hop in your car parked conveniently on site, in your free assigned parking spot, to find hidden local beaches, ATV tours, hike the volcanoes or hit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Hala Kahiki means Pineapple in Hawaiian and you’ll find this theme and tropical decor, throughout. as well as brand new appliances, all new furniture, paint, and carpet. Hala Kahiki Retreat has everything you need to make it your home base. Complete your home-cooked meal in our fully equipped kitchen or simply savor freshly ground Kona Coffee, tropical drinks or a relaxing cup of tea! This retreat has extras such as a blender, coffee grinder, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle.
Split zone AC installed May 2023!!! All new vinyl plank installed in living room and bedroom in May 2024.

You’ll wake up each morning to ocean waves breaking against iconic lava rocks with palm tree views straight from your pillow—all without even leaving the new King bed! From the lanai you have beautiful views of Kailua Bay and swaying palm trees and the main street of Kailua Village, Alii Drive. Watch seasonal parades, fireworks and festivities right from your lanai.

Grab beach towels and boogie boards, stock the cooler-on-wheels, throw the backpack beach chairs on and after a 10 minute walk arrive at the Kailua Bay Pier. From here charter a snorkeling or whale watching boat, rent a kayak, or simply enjoy a Hawaiian sunset on the beach and go for a swim. In October, this pier is the starting and finishing point of the famous Ironman World Championship!

Owner favorites: Start the day right with authentic Parisian crepes at The Frenchman’s Cafe, or Kona coffee and brunch at Daylight Mind Coffee Company, savor the light and crispy fresh catch fish & chips at Foster’s Kitchen, and don’t miss One Aloha Shave Ice for the area’s best shave ice. We also like Kona Alii because it has a secured entry foyer and 2 elevators.

After the day’s adventures, breathe in the tropical breezes and wind down to the sound of crashing waves on your own private Lanai.

We look forward to hosting you and your family and friends at Hala Kahiki Retreat. If you have any questions please call our local property management company. They are located nearby and someone is always available.

1st trip to Hawaii

Trip to escape winter weather and that goal was definitely achieved. Temperature was ideal along with breeze from the ocean. Enjoyed constant sound of the ocean waves coming in. A little noisy at night off and on with cars speeding down street in front of condo along with their loud music. Fortunately, this was not constant. Condo had everything we needed to head to the beach. Felt very safe here.

Great Place in a Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit at the Kona Alii. The location is great, within walking distance of all the restaurants and attractions in downtown Kona. The assigned parking spot is a big plus now that the public lots charge a fee to park. We liked to go on excursions during the day and then park the car and try a different restaurant every night.The unit itself is very comfortable with a lot of little touches that make it a great place to stay. The two bathrooms makes getting ready to go out quicker. There are plenty of hangars in the closets (great for those of us who don't pack light. The washer/drier meant we didn't have to fly home with wet bathing suits. We had a great lanai that overlooked the pool and never got too hot. We had great communication with the host before and during out stay. I sent all my Christmas cards from Kona and the very cool writing desk was a great place to write them. We will definitely stay at the this unit again.

Great condo in great location!

We stayed for 5 nights in this location. The afternoon we arrived, we were going to be about an hour and a half early, but we decided to drive to the condo just to see where it was located for sure. When we were about 10-15 minutes away, the rental company called to notify us it was ready early. The information was clear and made it easy to find where to enter and how to access the condo. The condo was very warm when we arrived so we turned up the AC and it was still warm. I called the management company, who was very easy to reach, and they had it repaired by the next day. There were a couple pinholes in the new AC tubing (they just installed a brand new system). We were very satisfied with the quick response and repair. Condo also had brand new luxury vinyl flooring where there had been carpet in the listing so that was a nice surprise. Great views, close walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Also 2 minute drive to a brand new Walmart and Safeway for easy grocery shopping. The pool was wonderful too. Great temperature and very clean. While we were staying there, I actually saw a cleaning/maintenance person walk around with sanitizer wiping everything down in the pool area and even going floor to floor wiping down the outside railings on along every condo. Thanks for a great stay, especially to Abby who was such a great help! Sherry

Great location but filthy

We arrived to dirty stained carpets that didn’t look vacuumed, holes in walls and ceilings due to AC install. After a long day of travel we turned down the bed to discover dirty sheets with a lot of hair. We stayed up until midnight doing laundry because the dryer takes 3 cycles to dry which is probably why the cleaners don’t wash the sheets. The property manager was apologetic but we had similar the year before moving bus the holes. The price goes up each year but condition goes down. Love the complex location!

A great view from the side of the building to the beach

It was nice having my own parking space since most of Kona’s parking lots are charging fees now. I loved the location and was able to walk to restaurants and the market for fruit. But I must say the unit really really needs some tender, loving care.

This was a wonderful property. We were in Kona for diving, This was in the perfect location. We were only about 10 minutes from the harbor. The mall is right next to the building, so we could walk out the front door, and go coffee or dining. The only thing I can say negative, would be the living room needs one more panel of drapes. Thank you we loved our stay.

Good location

The apartment was clean, kitchen well equipped and the location…. amazing. Overall we had a good place to stay but that place need a bit more attention from the owner. They have to change the carpet ASAP. They have to clean the showers in special the silicone in both showers The toilet paper holder was hanging in one screw, the air conditioning units are connected with all kind of pipes which are visible in the living area. Good size balcony and covered parking spot it’s a big plus. We had a minor incident with the check in process ( they forgot to email me all the information you need for checking in) but after we contacted VRBO representative everything was resolved. I ask them for a late check out ( we left at 4pm instead of 11am) and they were fine with that. Thank you!

Kona Christmas 2022

The Condo is in a great location and overall we had a wonderful stay. The Outside Noise in master B/R required closing windows at 6am, and could also used blinds. SUN is BRIGHT in a.m. Otherwise NO complaints. Some suggestions for improvements are: Getting a cyber/key code locks on building doors in place of having to carry a key. Kitchen could use more and updated utensils & glassware [We bought wine glasses since only a couple mismatched ones were available.] Microwave could use replacement [old and rusting]. Carpet okay but is due cleaning or replacement, or alternate flooring (tile) for a hot/tropical environment. Beach gear needs updated.. Boogie boards small & big ones were worn out & unservicable. Umbrella and chairs appreciated and used daily. Thanks! Suggest having a large Costco Beach wagon; our last Kona condo had one and they offer excellent convenience to haul gear to/from beach. Family room furnished sparsely for such a nice big area, it could use more comfy cozy furniture [pit couch w/recliners] Thanks for a wonderful Hawaiian vacation

Clean and prim location!!

Our family and I absolutely loved this property. It was the perfect set up and size for the week for the four of us- two parents, one 18 year old, and one 14 year old. The beach gear was a blessing, and didn't leave our car the entire visit. This location is prime- lots of walking opportunities to local shopping and the farmer's market, and not a far drive to great beaches. The pictures exactly represent the unit, which is much appreciated. I spent almost every evening reading on the lanai while listening to the waves crash- heaven. We would most definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location, nice partial ocean view, steps from amazing sunsets!

We travel to Kona 3-4 times per year and have stayed in a different place every time. Eventually we’ll buy our own condo, but this helps us see what’s out there. So far this place has been our favorite. I wish it had A/C for the hottest months, but everything else was great. I loved the location, so close to one of our favorite Kona restaurants (Kai) that opened last year. Kona Ali’i is also right across the street from a small beach with stunning sunsets most every night. Just grab some chairs and chill with a beverage. So nice. The kitchen was small and I’m not a fan of tile countertops, but it was functional and worked fine for us. We left the windows and sliding glass doors open the whole time which kept the air flowing through the condo and made it mostly comfortable. Only minor areas to improve/ distractions - the condo could use some updating (vinyl floors, countertops, etc), but it is comfortable and still nice as is. The furniture layout was a bit awkward. The couch is too far from the TV. We moved the couch closer and made it work. Some nights, like Friday nights, there was music playing at a nearby bar past 10pm. Not the condo’s fault, but without A/C, we had the windows open which made it really easy to hear and no way to turn it down. I was working remotely from the condo for two weeks sticking to the pacific time zone (5-6am Hawaii time work start) so I tried to be in bed before this music would be over. The gate to the beach and shopping area closed at 8pm, which is 2 hours too early. A couple times we had to walk all the way around through the Islander parking lot. Finally the smoke alarm near the kitchen was way too sensitive. It was going off just making scrambled eggs. Aside from these minor distractions we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return or even buy a similar condo in the same plaza!

rest, relax, replenish

We didn't realize how isolation decreases our lives. Being with family, getting up early to view an active volcano, snorkeling , seeing the jungle and the desert, the stars were too numerous to count. We all need togetherness so we can respect and be responsible for one another. Isolate us and we become warring islands.

The Kona Alii is a very nice place to stay. Unit 609 has amazing views of the ocean. You have everything you need at this unit. If you want to eat in, there’s a full size kitchen, if not, there’s lots of restaurants around where you’re staying. The pool is really nice and there’s an elevator and security doors, so super safe! I highly recommend Kona Alii and stay at unit 609, it’s the perfect Hawaiian unit.

Straightforward condo with a great location

We spent 2 weeks here and it had everything we needed/expected. The outdoor space was great and the kitchen was stocked with all equipment we needed to cook most meals. We didn't have a car, so the location was great for walking anywhere in the Kailua area, including beaches, and we could also grab a bus a block or two away on Alii Dr. Also handy was the beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards available.
