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

HALE KONA KAI UNIT 212 SPECIAL FEATURES: This unit has uv film added to the living room window and sliding glass door. The film goes a long way to mitigate the heat stemming from the late afternoon direct sun into the unit.

Hale Kona Kai 212 has a large wraparound lanai that sits at the very edge of the water! This oceanfront property offers unobstructed views of the Kona coastline. 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.
This unit is beautifully updated. Featured amenities include central AC for those extra warm nights and high speed wifi, a necessity for "working" remotely where Zoom conference calls may be necessary.

Hale Kona Kai is an abslolute oceanfront condominium 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 a heated salt water pool and BBQ area. Laundry rooms are available on each floor.

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.

This is a no-smoking, no pet facility.

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.

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.

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.

The property was in a perfect location to everything I wanted, walking distance to beach, booze and shopping. Listening to the waves just below me is what I needed to reset! Thank you.

Everything was great. Our favorite place on the island. Perfect location for us and anyone that comes with us. It is good to see that the maintenance issues have been totally corrected. The air conditioner was set to cold and it was too cold so I set it warmer. Never thought I would say that.

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

Walk to Town
We had a perfect stay at this condo on the ocean. Description was accurate. A few steps to restaurants and Kona center, but off the main road so no street noise. Everything you need was available in the condo: kitchen supplies, beach items etc. We would gladly stay here again. Thank you!

We greatly appreciated the hospitality shown through the amenities provided in this condo. Anything we needed or even thought we might need was provided by the owners. It made exploring and having fun so easy! Of course the location and the wrap around deck and view was the cherry on top for this complete Kona experience. We highly recommend this condo.

Nice little condo
Perfect location for walking into town without being in the heart of it. Appreciated that the bedroom door was closed with the air conditioning on when we arrived. It kept the bedroom at an ideal temperature for sleeping. The lanai was perfect for watching the sun set.

Awesome spot!
My wife and I had a great stay at this condo. Even with the central ac out the portable ac unit in our room was plenty to keep our room cool. The breeze from the lanai was incredible and also helped keep the condo cool. 5 min walk to great bars and restaurants. Amazing luau next door. Will stay here again!

Retreat on ocean close to Kona
Fabulous location! Right. On. Edge. Of. Ocean. Great for watching whales, turtles, and other sea life. Corner unit fantastic. Pool area never overly crowded. Plenty of pool furniture for everyone. 180 degree view of ocean. Can see outriggers, cruise ships, catamarans, swimmers, and spear fisherman right from lanai. Nice to have a one bedroom versus a studio. A couple of things we did notice is that the tile floors didn’t appear to be fully cleaned (perhaps were dusted rather than mopped) and there was a bit of soap build up on the bathroom counter. We would be highly recommend the property and this unit in particular.

Perfect in every way
Wonderful property. Perfect location. You're literally ON the shore. Falling asleep to the crashing waves is beyond soothing. Reserved parking spot is clutch. Unit and all towels/bedding were clean and ample in supply. The condo is simple and mostly updated. No complaints whatsoever. The welcome package with Kona coffee/water/snacks was a nice touch. To those that complained about the AC not working- it's running at 1000% now. Could run a meat locker with it now. LOL

The Lanai of My Dreams
We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! Location is perfect, can walk to everything. The pictures of the lanai do not do it justice - it's truly amazing as you are right over the water with waves crashing on the rocks under you and views of the ocean in every direction! The rest of the place is as pictured, a little dated but clean. The bed is really comfy! The central air is working fine and was really nice to be able to run at night to good sleep since I was there to compete in the Ironman.

This has been our favorite condo on the Big Island ! You can watch all of the ocean activities! It is close to town and the pool is amazing. I can’t give a 5 star rating simply becomes the air conditioner did not work, which was communicated to us so we didn’t know ahead of time. We will stay here again for sure !!

Beautiful view but lack of Functional A/C was a buzzkill
The good - the deck and view was gorgeous and one of the best we’ve had on any of our Hawaii trips. We preferred getting our food or making our own and eating out there to going to any restaurant because we just couldn’t tear ourselves away. You could literally see the fish in the water from there. Beautiful sunsets every night. Couldn’t be beat anywhere. The general layout of the rest of the condo worked ok. Small kitchen but ok. Well stocked with supplies. Closet with beach chairs, cooler etc was very appreciated. The bad: Air Conditioning (or rather lack there of). There’s really no excuse for why this isn’t fixed. I see in several reviews people talking about this issue and you would think it would have been resolved by now but nope. Despite signs in the unit talking about A/C - it’s non-functional. There is a portable unit jerry-rigged in the bedroom - but it sort of works (as long as you don’t mind the neighbors having a view into your bedroom from the upstairs unit) 8-O because you can’t close the shutter on one window with the A/C in the window. And yes there is a breeze from the ocean but if you run a little on the hot side (especially at night) - it might not be enough. Even with the Jerry-rigged A/C. :( While the view was great here - I would have to pass on this one and wouldn’t stay here again unless they get that fixed!! We ended up with so little sleep.
