Rental Details

Property Overview

This oceanfront property offers a nice view of the ocean and of the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Royal Kona Resort next door. The ocean is teeming with life! Sit on your lanai and watch spinning dolphins year around and humpback breaching just offshore during the winter and spring months. Colorful reef fish, turtles and eels find plenty of sustenance in the tide pools. Wake up and fall asleep to the calming sound of the ocean.

AIR CONDITIONING UPDATE - January 2026
In the late fall of 2025, the central air conditioning system at Hale Kona Kai was replaced. The HVAC equipment that services the individual condo was also inspected, with and any and all required maintenance/repairs completed. The air conditioning is in peak condition at this time.

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. This units also comes equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and a small cooler for guests use. It may or may not have some snorkel gear that was left by previous guests. We do not provide snorkel gear. Non-fitting snorkel gear takes all the fun out of snorkeling, so it is best to rent your equipment while you are here.

Hale Kona Kai is a special 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.

Oceanfront property disclaimer: We re thrilled to share that this stunning oceanfront unit offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sparkling ocean and the beautiful reef below. During the Hawaiian winter, you might notice vibrant ocean swells and refreshing winds that truly showcase the island s lively spirit. These natural elements can create a delightful saltwater mist on the glass, which may slightly alter your view but adds to the charm of the experience. As you relax on the lanai, the high swells, strong winds, and occasional rain can bring a splash of adventure to your stay! We encourage you to embrace these wonderful aspects of island life when making your booking.

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.

The unit was in ok condition but smelled musty. The biggest issue was that we lost central air conditioning half way through our 5-night stay. It would not be able to be repaired until the next week. The managment company was very responsive and set up a prortable air conditioning unit but is was very loud. I asked to managment company to ask the unit's owner for some type of compensation but no luck. Although the managment company did what they could to help the sitution, we still had to adjust our schedules to make time for the instalation of the portalbe unit. In hind sight if we picked a different rental in Kona, we would not have had to deal with the hastle, phone calls and adjusting our schedules on the trip.

Wife and I stayed for 5 days and had a wonderful time. Our plan was to have breakfast in and make sandwiches for lunch while we were out for the day, and dinner out locally. We were able to do it all. The apartment has a full, small, kitchen (even had a coffee grinder), a balcony where we ate breakfast, a dedicated parking spot, and a great location. We were able to easily walk to a number of restaurants and shops. It's about a half mile to the farmer's market. Bed is comfortable and plenty of room for 2. Had an early dinner at a restaurant just down the road and saw two whales just off shore! Overall, highly recommended.

Very very dated. Bath matts were gross. Lanai furniture should be raised so you are not looking through railings. Couch needs replacing or new cushions. Love this complex .

The condo is nice and clean, if a little dated. Most conveniences are included (couldn't find a can opener is all). The lanai was wonderful with an ocean view. Laundry on each floor and was available when we wanted it.

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed but it was a bit 'tired'. The appliances were fine but the unit in general needs some updating in terms cabinetry and furnishings as this would have made the stay even more pleasant. The bedroom and bed were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.

This condo was in an awesome location, it is a little bit dated, and the cleanliness inside the room could maybe have been a little better? But overall it was a great stay . One thing we didn’t like was the washer and dryer Were both operated by coins, and there was no cash to coin dispenser on the premises at all. So we had to constantly go into town to get change converted. So if you stay here make so you bring plenty of quarters.

We liked the people that were owners of the property, they were extremely friendly, helpful and a real pleasure. when we arrived we had no Central AC, when we called they said it had been out for a month and that we were notified. we weren't notified and it was a huge disappointment as we face the north so we don't get any breeze. the facility was great, no Central AC, they did have a portable unit in the bedroom that worked well but the remainder of the property was warm the entire time of our visit.
