About this property
Welcome to King Palm Suite at Palm Hale
The King Palm suite at Palm Hale is a spacious second-floor unit that offers stunning ocean views.
Featuring one King bed in the bedroom and an additional twin bed in an extra room off the living area, this suite is perfect for couples or small groups. Enjoy open-air Hawaiian living with high ceilings and ocean vistas from every room. This suite has been a favorite among our returning guests for years, and the pictures simply don't do the view justice.
The suite includes a living room, dining area, desk space, and a well-equipped kitchen with full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder for the famous Kona coffee, cable box, smart TV, Roku, and high-speed Wi-Fi. There's also a coin-operated washer and dryer in the entryway. Outside, you'll find a picnic table and BBQ area with sail shades for al fresco dining.
Ample off-street parking is available behind the home, which is perfectly situated to catch the ocean breezes and the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shoreline at night. Note: one living room wall is open at the top to allow for airflow to the shared entryway and stairs.
Located off the popular oceanfront Ali'i Drive, we're just a stone's throw from the ocean. Kahalu'u Beach right down the street (great for snorkeling) and Magic Sands Beach right up the street, both walking distance. Relax on the local beaches and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. There are also two transit systems on Ali'i Drive for easy access. A short drive will take you to Keauhou Shopping Center, which offers a grocery store, drug store, post office, restaurants, movie theater, and a Saturday morning farmers market. Heading north, you'll find downtown Kona just five minutes away, with its oceanfront shopping, restaurants, historical sites, and luaus.
Whether you want to unwind or stay active, the island has something for everyone. Enjoy water sports like swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, kayaking, and big game fishing. Explore the island's many sights, including the Mauna Kea observatory, Place of Refuge, coffee farms, macadamia nut farms, volcanoes, lava tubes, waterfalls, and historical sites of ancient Hawaiian royalty. The island boasts some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets you'll ever see – keep an eye out for the green flash as the sun dips below the horizon.

Our stay at Isaac’s place was great. He was a very available host and was willing to address any question, whether it was about his place or where to go.Location is ideal right between Kona and Captain Cook near Magic Sands Beach.Highly recommend!
The space was a perfect home base for exploring the island. It was clean and well stocked with towels and necessities. The living room is open air to the stair well so we had to be careful with noise, but we went to bed early most nights so it was a problem. Our host was super accommodating and helpful. We had everything we needed and more.
A perfect place. Beautiful views, homey feel, quiet neighborhood — all while being a few minutes walk from great beaches and a short ride from the main drag in town.
For the most part, our stay was fine. We were unaware that we would not have air conditioning, but maybe I didn't pay attention to that. Also, it should be noted that you are on the second floor and have to navigate stairs and that you are very near to a busy, main street with lots of traffic. Having to keep windows open made some nights a bit noisy. There was a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen, but we could see there were traps laid out. Just the nature of the climate. We were close to 2 beaches and not far from the major amenities, so location was good for us. Overall, a comfortable stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at King Palm! Isaac was so easy to deal with and so responsive and accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. Spacious and comfortable. It is best to have a rental car, but there are definitely beaches in walking distance.I would have two recommendations for anybody going in the future. I would buy bottled water and if you are sensitive to Street noise, birds and neighbors I would bring ear plugs. Isaac did have a sound machine in the room which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay at the King Palm suite in this small apt. building. Our unit was very spacious with a big living room/dining room area, large kitchen, large bedroom with comfortable king bed, a walk in closet where we could easily store all of our things and a big bathroom with a great shower. The outside walls are almost all made of slatted bifold doors with screened windows- when they were open it felt like we were in a treehouse. We could see the ocean from our place as well as a wealth of landscaped trees and bushes. The unit is on the upstairs of a two floor building with 4 other studio units. The owner Isaac provides an array of supplies including coolers, beach chairs, snorkels and fins and boogie boards for your use and he also provides an array of touring ideas. We discovered that one of the best snorkeling beaches is just down the road 0.7 miles away. The building is about one house away from Alii drive which can be noisy so be prepared to use ear plugs at times. Otherwise it was a comfortable spacious and homey unit and provided us with a great stay!
Unit size in cleanliness comfort. Location and support from host.
Spacious apartment with great windows for a breeze. We had a wonderful time! Isaac was quick to respond to any questions. Appreciated that there was a snorkel and beach gear to borrow
Place was great,
This stay well exceeded our expectations. One thing that stands out is the hosts genuine enjoyment of creating an experience for guests. There is an overall feeling of giving and sharing embodying the Hawaiian aloha. The unit itself was fantastic. Well maintained and very clean but also well stocked to meet any need. The kitchen in particular was unusually convenient compared to other rentals I’ve stayed. Location is very convenient to some of the most celebrated beaches like Magic Sands. Only a short distance to shopping and entertainment.
One of the most delightful places I've ever stayed, SO special! The ocean views and breezes were epic!! Isaac was a wonderful host- friendly, hospitable, accommodating, excellent communication...It was also one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in, tastefully decorated, comfortable. Was definitely worth a bit of road noise for all of the magical island experience!!Didn't want to leave and hope to come backMahalo nui, Isaac!!!
Easy access and parking, not super walkable but not a big deal as most things are driving distance anyways. lots of nature sounds and birds at night which was not a problem for us but if you need total quiet to sleep there are earplugs.
We had a wonderful week here. The unit is as pictured and very comfortable. It is open air (no AC) but we weren’t too hot due to the sea breeze. Super close to multiple great beaches. Thanks!!
An amazing open air unit with floor to ceiling screened windows with shutters which makes for beautiful ocean views, cool breeze, and unique sounds of nature. Great location, had everything we needed and more!
Large Spacious well equipped unit.
This was our second stay at this home. Probably the best-equipped place we've ever rented. Ideal location. Highly recommend unless you seek a noiseless place. Sound of road and other guests is noticeable but not an issue for us.
The suite we stayed in was really nice - open air feeling with great views. The location is away from much of the touristy-stuff, but close enough you can Uber easily to nearby points of interest. If you have a rental car, the parking area is very private and spacious. The host was very accommodating. It was nice to have an onsite washer and dryer. And I was impressed to find lots of loaner items available - beach chairs, snorkeling gear - the works. I would definitely go back.
With the absence of windows and only screens the sounds of the birds in the morning was delightful. The car noise usually calmed down after 8 pm and there was an occasional vroom noise. You can see the ocean over the tree tops and the walk to the beaches is easy although the beaches are not very swimming friendly with all the lava rock. There are others staying in the building and there was just a little noise. The parking lot in the back was great because parking is hard to find on the narrow streets. The place was stocked well and beautiful.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again! The lovely high ceilings and shuttered/screened windows all around give such an open, breezy feel. No AC required and the sound of the waves make for great sleeping too. A wonderfully spacious place for a couple but also great for a family with a child. Isaac is a gracious and very responsive host.
We loved our stay! Location was ideal- short walks both directions to wonderful beaches. Island breezes and sunsets were perfect from the condo. Everything we needed was included and we were very comfortable the entire time. We enjoyed visiting the chickens and ducks in the backyard.
Overall, my wife & I are very pleased with the property/price we paid for our stay. We stayed 8 nights total. First, all the open air shutters are beautiful! Plus they really do allow tons of air movement through the unit if you will leave them open. Know that you will hear more outside noises than you’re used to as this (like many other homes) is an open air building with no AC. Secondly, the space is great! The bed was nice and it was obvious it was well taken care of. Isaac also provide beach towels, chairs, coolers, snorkel gear etc for your use so you can leave all of that at home. Parking is plentiful and it’s secluded with cameras which is a great touch as well. Our only complain is the noise level in the unit. I looked over the post again to be sure & didn’t see it said anywhere so I’ll share it here. You can close the doors to the bedroom to have that & the bathroom completely private, but the rest of the house is not. Above the door that you come into there is a giant open space in the wall where on the other side is the main stairs everyone uses, as well as laundry machines etc. Every sound everyone made was heard loud and clear in our unit/vice versa. There were multiple times we were woken up because of the sounds coming from the living room (but really was from the stairs) and I had to investigate to make sure no one was in the house with us. I think this should be clearly stated in the listing so people know and can make an informed decision. 8/10 overall.
We loved the open air concept of the apartment. It’s hot in Kona and the open air really helped to cool down the apartment in the evening. We would stay here again if we get the opportunity.
Very spacious and views of ocean. Private parking and close to 2 beaches. Shopping and dining areas within a short drive. Would definitely stay here again. Great place!
We loved the openness and floor to!Ceiling views. There was a full kitchen and semi 2nd room. Good parking and super close to beach. Good sized space. Didn’t love the creaky stairs. Close neighbor buzz sawed and shoveled loudly early (before 8am) most mornings and no windows to shut out noise. Road noise.
I booked this for my mom, she loved it and said it was one of the best places she's stayed in.
