Hale Iki is a treasured family home for 3 generations. Tropical sunsets and the wide Pacific Ocean is all yours, right out front, all day long for you to enjoy. Recently remodeled, Hale Iki has a darling new kitchen with black sand granite countertops, ocean seaglass tile backsplash, a farmhouse kitchen with and ocean view, lovely koa wood tile floors throughout and all the appliances you need. The two bedrooms have a queen bed in the master and 2 twins in the other (a memory foam mattress topper can convert the twins to a king bed if needed). Each room has their own private bathroom attached. There's both an indoor & outdoor shower. A stacked washer & dryer is available in the attached laundry room. The little house has a TV, with Netflix/Prime apps, shelves of books to read, snorkels, fins, beach chairs and surfboards, boogie boards to borrow. There's a lava rock BBQ and Weber to grill up fresh fish while the sunsets on the Pacific. The best day is spent relaxing on the lanai in chaise lounges reading a book & bird watching, or take a road trip to see the erupting volcano, it's mildly flowing, but quite exciting. The ocean right out front might be glassy smooth for snorkeling, or if the surf's up just walk 4 houses down to Kahalu'u public beach for sea turtles and surfing. Hale Iki is on a large flat lot surrounded by lawn, a very old banyan tree, a lava rock wall, literally right on the ocean. There are tide pools to explore for shells & crabs. Just 4 miles south from Kona town, (home of the Iron Man Tri-athalon) in October, the marathon runners go past right out front on Ali'i Drive.
Our family likes to rent to happy people who respect the treasure found at Hale Iki. Many months are booked ahead by return renters. It's clean classic Hawaiian style living. The highest honor is to be asked if you're a "local" or Kama'aina when you walk out the gate. There might be lil' green geckos scampering around and rainbows over the horizon, but it is all good luck. This is Kona and you may find an open week or two to enjoy Hale Iki as your home base to explore the Big Island of Hawaii.
*FYI: there's NO AIR CONDITIONING, just ceiling fans in every room & open windows for fresh ocean breezes is all you need.

Hale Iki is exactly as listed. Little house by the sea. The location was perfect! We fell in love with eating on the back patio and watching the dolphins play!

We had a very enjoyable stay in this ocean front house. It is very relaxing to sit on the lanai and watch surfers, birds, and the sunset. Great snorkelling is only steps away at Kahaluu Beach Park.

Located at the edge of Kahalu’u Bay sits a traditional Hawaii beach house, Hale Iki. A short walk to the best snorkeling beach on the island, Kahalu’u Beach Park and a short drive to shopping and restaurants. Swim early morning, sip your coffee from the lanai while listening to the sound of the waves lapping on the rocks. Grab a plate lunch or cook your own food in the freshly remodeled kitchen. It has everything you need for a quiet getaway or you can choose to stay plugged in with the internet that covers out to the lanai. Our second visit here and we will be back.
