This retreat has extras such as a blender, coffee grinder, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle.
Split zone AC installed May 2023!!! All new vinyl plank installed in living room and bedroom in May 2024.
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.

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

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.

The apartment was clean, kitchen well equipped and the location…. amazing.
Overall we had a good place to stay but that place need a bit more attention from the owner. They have to change the carpet ASAP. They have to clean the showers in special the silicone in both showers
The toilet paper holder was hanging in one screw, the air conditioning units are connected with all kind of pipes which are visible in the living area.
Good size balcony and covered parking spot it’s a big plus.
We had a minor incident with the check in process ( they forgot to email me all the information you need for checking in) but after we contacted VRBO representative everything was resolved.
I ask them for a late check out ( we left at 4pm instead of 11am) and they were fine with that. Thank you!

The place was kept clean and had a nice pool for the family to enjoy. Parking was excellent at this place as well as the view from our balcony. Close to lots of great restaurants and it’s near the farmers market. We really enjoyed our stay and would be glad to come back!

The Condo is in a great location and overall we had a wonderful stay. The Outside Noise in master B/R required closing windows at 6am, and could also used blinds. SUN is BRIGHT in a.m. Otherwise NO complaints. Some suggestions for improvements are: Getting a cyber/key code locks on building doors in place of having to carry a key. Kitchen could use more and updated utensils & glassware [We bought wine glasses since only a couple mismatched ones were available.]
Microwave could use replacement [old and rusting]. Carpet okay but is due cleaning or replacement, or alternate flooring (tile) for a hot/tropical environment. Beach gear needs updated.. Boogie boards small & big ones were worn out & unservicable. Umbrella and chairs appreciated and used daily. Thanks! Suggest having a large Costco Beach wagon; our last Kona condo had one and they offer excellent convenience to haul gear to/from beach. Family room furnished sparsely for such a nice big area, it could use more comfy cozy furniture [pit couch w/recliners]
Thanks for a wonderful Hawaiian vacation
