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.

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.

I had a great stay at this rental. The location was perfect, great for walking to local eats and shopping, and driving to most locations was pretty easy as well. The unit was clean and comfortable. I had great communication with the property management when an issued arose. I would definitely stay here again.

My cousin and niece joined me for first week of my vacation, and I let them have the bed. I took the fold out couch. After they left, I didn’t move from the couch! 19 nights. It was that comfortable. A nice surprise, for sure! Very well stocked, including beach stuff Seven beach towels, leave yours at home. Some beach stuff could be replaced, but you’d get by. The security in this building is excellent. Didn’t bother me at all to be here two weeks alone. The only thing I bring up is living room drapes. They don’t cover all the windows and night light from other side of building was a bit annoying (to me). Loved my stay here and would love to return. Communication with realty co was great.

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.

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.

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

Enjoy the size and location

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!

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.
