About this property

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

Welcome to Hale Kona Kai 212, an exquisite oceanfront condo located 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 cozy 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.

Hale Kona Kai 212 is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring 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.

An iron, hair dryer are provided, as well as a starter kit that includes shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, and a small bag of Kona Coffee to get you started. If you run out of anything during your stay, there are stores nearby twhee you can get anything you need.

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.

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.

Wonderful!

Wonderful Oceanfront condo. Beautiful Hawaiian decor, exceptionally cleaned, everything you need for a relaxed vacation. Wrap around lanai for great sunsets, watching spinner dolphins, turtles, surfing waves, outrigger canoes, short walk to town. Very responsive from Kona Beach Properties. Thanks for the wonderful stay. We will return!

Fabulous Location

This wrapped deck has an expansive vista of the ocean with breakers right below you. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and soaking in the ocean’s beauty.The reservation staff was exceptional and leaned over backwards to help me out when I made an egregious error with my online reservation. So happy to have stayed here and would do so again!

View is amazing

The sound of waves crashing beneath and the panoramic view is the best. The location of the unit within the small complex and the building’s proximity to town are great. It’s not exactly a full remodel as described, but it works. The shower has quite a low flow.

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.

Vacation Perfection

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.

Get ready for awesome!

My wife and I stay in Hawaii twice a year for the last 40 years. This unit is now at the top of our list. It is so close to the crashing waves that you feel the water. Tracy with Kona beach properties was just fabulous to deal with. Very professional and quick responses. We rented three units in this complex, one was from casa go. Never again from them.

When On-the-Rocks is a good thing

This condo is lovely. Amazing views, very comfortable bed, nice Hawaiian decor, even a beautiful cotton Hawaiian quilt. Portable air conditioning in living and bedrooms worked well even on very warm days. The front yard has waves crashing on the lava rocks below, tang feeding, surfers lining up for a wave, cruise ships, interesting life in the tide pools and local fishermen who are very nice and knowledgeable about the fish and tides. So many things to love about this condo. The parking spot is very close. We rarely used the elevator. There are laundry facilities on each floor. Thanks for being our home base for an amazing Anniversary trip to Hawaii. M & A
