Amazing Oceanfront Condo 🐠 with Out of this World Ocean Views! 🌅 - 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.

Great little condo with incredible ocean view! Location is perfect. There are three ABC stores and plenty of places to eat within a few minutes walking distance. There is also a costco right by the airport if you need to stock up though.

Location was great. Overall cleanliness great. The unit needs some updating. Replace the old carpet with wood or vinyl flooring. Replace the old/worn/dirty cushions on couch and indoor chair. The outdoor furniture was better with no cushions so get rid of those (they were ripped anyway). The working air conditioning was wonderful. The balcony and view was amazing. The bed was very comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness
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 attention–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 closed—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.

Gerald M.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The accommodations were completely unacceptable. The air conditioning was being provided buy in room floor units. The overall odor in the room was extremely offensive. Furniture and cabinets were well worn, and it generally did not feel as though the unit was sanitary. The bed and mattress unit were old enough that the Support rim for the mattress could be felt all the way around the unit. The only positive for the unit is the view, but that did not overcome the unacceptable of the interior.. I would never recommend rental of this unit. And in fact did not even stay the first night the only reason for giving it one star was for the ocean view.

The waves break right outside of your patio

The interior might be a bit dated but works fine. The view is breathtaking. We could’ve just sat on the balcony the entire week. I would totally do it again.

Multiple stays

We’ve stayed here multiple times because it’s easy walking distance to the tourist part of Alli’i Drive. It’s also right on the water and the views are completely unobstructed. It’s an older property, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. That doesn’t bother us at all, and we’ll continue to stay here.

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 hadn’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 wasn’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 can’t be beat for walking into town. We are returning next year, but in a different unit.

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.

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!
