Rental Details
Property Overview
Welcome to Hale Malama Pono, a temporary home base for you to enjoy what Hawaii has to offer you as a visitor while treading as lightly as you can. Your hosts are long time visitors to the Island and now new owners. This home away from home is named for the values that they hope infuse it: preserving and protecting (the earth) with integrity. The Hawaiian words have layers of meaning, and the phrase is also commonly used to mean “Take care of yourself.”
Hale Malama Pono offers all the wonderful qualities of the Kona-Keauhou Surf and Racquet Club: warm tropical breezes, lush landscaping, a great pool and pickle ball/tennis courts, standard internet access for the complex, cable TV from a brand new 42" TV installed, 9, convenient BBQs, and proximity to fascinating historical archeological sites. It sits on Ali’i Drive with a 7-mile ocean-front urban walking “trail” at the front gate, and is within walking distance to shopping, golfing, farmers’ markets, snorkeling, surfing and more. Beach equipment like boogie boards, ice chest, beach towels, beach chairs and beach mats are here for your use. Plus a couple yoga mats. tennis equipment, pickleball, badminton and pingpong
As an end unit, all the rooms, including the bathrooms have natural light and ventilation. When additional light is needed at night, it will come from LEDs. When less warmth is desired, indoor and outdoor shades filter the sun, and fans provide a cooling breeze. We’re opting not to install A/C. USB ports on the bedroom clocks make phones and tablets charging easy. If you are combining work with vacation, two desks facing the ocean and hi-speed internet will support you.
To honor the 'aina, the land which feeds us, we don’t strive for high-end luxury and newness, but we do strive for clean, comfortable and functional. The condo is stocked with earth-friendly personal care and cleaning products, enough to last your entire stay. The hosts don’t claim to be 100% chemical free, but aim to be as close as possible. A small closet is designated as a recycling area to support your efforts to avoid landfill. A growing inventory of re-usable alternatives like cloth napkins, re-usable shopping bags, and refillable water bottles are here for your use. In order to avoid single use products, and for those who cook in, there’s a full complement of spices, herbs and condiments, and helpful small appliances.
For a casual exposure to things Hawaiian, there’s a growing library of tour books, fiction and jigsaw puzzles. For delving deeper, there are books and booklets about Hawaiian history, flowers, birds, fish, petroglyphs and more.
The condo is furnished and organized to help you unpack quickly, make yourselves at home, and get right to the fun and relaxation of Hawaii.
Whether from beaches and viewpoints around the Island, or the lanai at Hale Malama Pono, gaze at the gleaming turquoise ocean, spraying white as it crashes against the black lava, and see a different, beautiful sunset every night.

Reviews
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is located close to places we enjoy. Unfortunately, the unit it showing its age and could use a refresh. It's comfortable and well-equipped. Beware noisy upstairs neighbors!
We stayed November 12-19 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Probably one of the best equipped vacation rentals we have stayed in. Comfy beds!High five to Knutson &Associates as the manager as well. Very attentive, communicated by text and almost immediately answered questions and tips for the rental ie how to avoid the door lock from swing always unlocked! Texted a reminder checkout list and answered questions about it. The only drawback/pro tip: the assigned parking stall is under a large and well inhabited tree…if you rent a convertible make sure you put the top up. There’s not a lot of car washes on the big island!
Beautiful condo and perfect setting. Ocean views, location and decor were top notch. Host responded well for a few inquiries we had about TV. We you definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great location. Right on the ocean. Loved the first floor, walk right out to enjoy. Really enjoyed all the amenities that came along with this unit. There were quite a few things in the pantry to help with meals. Having a washer and dryer is a game changer. Pack light and go enjoy! There is not air conditioning, but having the windows open, supplied fans and ocean breezes make it comfortable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay! The location is perfect and you can hear the waves from your lanai. We had no issues at all during our stay! The place had everything we needed (beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards). The complex area itself is very well maintained. I was concerned about not having an air conditioner but in the evenings we opened up the doors for awhile and it cooled the place down. The ceiling fans helped at night too. No complaints and would definitely stay here again!
This was a beautiful place to vacation. Nice quiet gated property, amazing views. Short drive to shopping and beaches. All the amenities of home. Very easy check in and check out and communication with property manager. Wonderful stay. Mahalo!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With the ability to work from anywhere, we combined work with vacation. Between two desks in the dining/living room and fast internet, my wife and I were able to setup our computers, spend the mornings working, and take the afternoons off. The condo is fully loaded with every imaginable kitchen appliance and plenty of cooking utensils. Having the washer/dryer means we could pack less clothes and just do laundry once or twice. And spending the nights falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks was very soothing.Between the oceanfront location and nearby shops/restaurants, the location can't be beat. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and will be back.

Excellent location, great views, the house was fully stocked - was pleasantly surprised to find sesame oil among others, so many different spices and other goodies that made the stay even more special. Hearing the waves and enjoying the breeze while sitting in the lanai was one of the highlights of our trip. Also would like to commend the property manager- they were super prompt and helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in dem Apartment. Für uns drei war der Platz genau richtig. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist großartig. Nur auf der Liege zu liegen ist schon sehr entspannend! Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind auch zu Fuß zu erreichen. Mülltrennung wird hier ganz groß organisiert. Schränke waren teilweise voll geräumt: Es gab Lebensmittel zum Aufbrauchen, Sonnencremes usw. Der Platz für mitgebrachte Garderobe war uns zu gering.
