About this property

Hale Kona Kai 312 - Absolute Oceanfront Condo with wraparound lanai

Hale Kona Kai unit 312 is one of our most popular units at Hale Kona Kai. This 3rd floor corner unit features a wraparound lanai facing west and south for full, unobstructed ocean views and the best possible breeze! The unit has been beautifully updated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay on top of the ocean. Central air conditioning keeps the unit comfortable, especially on those warmer days and nights. The most up-to-date internet/wifi equipment' features high speed wifi, a necessity for "working" remotely where Zoom conference calls may be necessary. Watch never-ending spectacular sunsets from the comfort of your lanai.

Amenities include:
Small appliances include a hair dryer and iron.
Designated parking stall at no charge

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.

The ocean is teeming with life! Sit on your lanai and watch spinning dolphins year around and humpback breaching just offshore during the winter and spring months. Turtles and eels find plenty of sustenance in the tide pools. Wake up and fall asleep to the calming sound of the ocean.

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 special complex right on the ocean in the heart of Kona. It is a short walk to anything you need; restaurants, entertainment, shopping and beaches. An elevator provides easy access. The property boasts an oceanfront pool. BBQ area is located at the south end of the property. Coin Laundry rooms are available on each floor. An elevator allows for easy access.

The island has many resort-quality golf courses, the closest one within 5 miles. There are plenty of places to snorkel from shore, or take a snorkeling cruise. Kona offers world-class fishing opportunities. Catch an ono for dinner or a world record Pacific Blue Marlin. The Big Island has 13 climates and many cool things to do and explore, from a live volcano to botanical gardens and country living to great beaches, snorkeling and surfing opportunities.

*This is a no-smoking, no pet facility.

**Special Notes:
Hale Kona Kai unit 312 requires a mid-stay clean at guest's expense when reservation is 3 weeks or longer.
The couch does not pull out into a sofa bed.

Gorgeous unit and location

Very clean, well furnished beautiful unit. I wish there had been a small table at which to eat inside the condo (rather than having to sit on a stool at the counter with your back to the view) Loved being there.

Peaceful and authentic experience

The view, every morning, afternoon and evening (including an incredible sunset everyday!) made our stay very memorable. The apartment is very confortable, very clean, and beautifully decorated. Kitchen is fully equipped and cabinet filled with essentials (S&P, oil, spices etc) to prepare your next meal with a beautiful ocean view. Perfect for our getaway and conveniently located near great restaurants and stores… we already miss the sound of the waves but we will be back one day!

Great Condo, Wonderful Location

We couldn't be happier with the views, location, amenities, and, decor of the condo. The sunsets were incredible and the condo exceeded our expectations. We felt so comfortable there and enjoyed our whole experience. It provided a relaxing atmosphere that made our trip even better. Thanks for the wonderful accomodations.

Lovely Experience

A perfect place to celebrate a milestone birthday. We made a point to be on the lanai for every sunset. In fact, that is where we were most of the time. We will look forward to coming back again.

Loved The View

Loved the view. We had two whale sightings during our stay while enjoying morning coffee on the lanai. Room came with all the amenities. One thing we would have liked is a washer/drier in the room, rather than down the hall. Close proximity to Kona shopping and restaurants.

Two-week Stay

Condo had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nice, 270 deg. view with nice sunsets. Needs an updated entry into the condo. Elevator and laundry on the floor was a great plus. Compound a little dated.

The Best on Kona ..

If you are looking for a true "oceanfront" condo with a wrap around Lanai, that has a full kitchen, separate bedroom, walk-in shower, and everything you would need to enjoy your stay... this is it! The waves crash DIRECTLY below your Lanai!! Full 180 degree panoramic views from the Southern coastline to the Pier.... There is none better! Thank you Dan And Valerie, we will be back!

We loved this condo with its wrap around balcony and ocean views and sounds! Prime location - able to walk easily to many restaurants and shops. Condo was well stocked with everything we needed plus more. Hopefully, it will be available on our next trip to Kona.

Amazing location and views

Amazing views located right next to the ocean. Nicely decorated with everything we needed from soap to shampoo to beach chairs and beach towels. King size bed was very comfortable. Wrap around Lanai was great and right next to ocean. It was very close to downtown Kona. Parking was easy with an assigned space. One of the best places we have stayed!

Sunsets and rainbows at the same time! Yellow fish easily visible by the shore from the balcony. Waves crashing against the rock (sometimes pretty loud!). Gorgeous views from all rooms. Great place to hang out and relax and easy walking access to main town. Lovely!

Beautiful View

Beautiful view; we saw lots of wildlife, cruise ships, and surfers. Kitchen is well appointed with cookware and utensils. Linens were nice. Unit was very clean and neat when we arrived. (Carpet could use a good cleaning.) It would have been nice if the shade worked on the lanai. It can be a bit noisy when the surf is high, but you sure can't beat the view.

Beautiful condo

The condo is beautiful. It’s right on the ocean, almost like you’re sitting on the edge of the sea. It has everything you need for a great time at the beach and a well stocked kitchen. The wrap around lani is breathtaking. Because it’s right on the ocean, you get a great breeze, almost windy. The unit is fairly updated, however, the bed could use an update/upgrade as the mattress is a firmer inner spring. Overall, it’s an amazing condo.

Beautiful Condo

We were so impressed with this lovely condo. The view is probably the best on the island and location is within walking distance from town and many restaurants and attractions. We did have a little trouble when checking in, as the lock box with the key was corroded and it took a little time to open it. We tried to reach out to the property manager with a couple of questions and concerns and we were told that someone would be getting back to us but no one ever did. No big deal really and we had a wonderful time. I would certainly recommend this condo to anyone going to Kailua Kona!
