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 tennis courts, upgraded internet above and beyond the normal speed for the complex, cable TV from a brand new 50" LG TV installed in August 2019, 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 and tennis equipment.
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, fans provide a cooling breeze. USB ports on the bedroom clocks make phones and tablets charging easy.
To honor the 'aina, the land which feeds us, 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 you 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 ...

My family and I had a fantastic stay. We celebrated Thanksgiving Day while we were there. The kitchen was full of all amenities needed to make a traditional thanksgiving dinner. The location of the condo was perfect. We had views, green lawn to walk barefoot on and ground ourselves. Knutson & Associates checked in on us a couple of times to be sure everything was ok. It was! We will visit again! Mahalo!

I highly recommend this vacation home. It has everything you need and more. 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.

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.

Nice property. Built around a very historical alii habitation site - which is a little disturbing as native Hawaiians but at least visible archaeological sites well marked and maintained. Property great location, large condo. Very clean plus well stocked kitchen. Lansi is lovely.

We loved the location of this vacation rental. They also had a great pool that we often enjoyed swimming in! This rental offered lots of things for us to use. From snorkeling gear, towels, extra sunscreen and boogie boards! That was all really nice. But this place could really use an update!! Not only in decor (which could also use an update). Across the board, It’s very outdated. The entire second bathroom shower didn’t work. The wall behind it was even totally exposed. And having a place with no AC on vacation to a very hot and tropical location was really tough. They definitely disclosed no AC, but somehow we missed that. So it was quite an unpleasant surprise.

We enjoyed our stay in this property very much. The views from the main rooms and master bedroom were stunning. The condo opens up really well to the outdoors allowing for wonderful breezes to cool the rooms. The location was convenient and the condo was well-supplied with recreational items. The only downside to this unit was noisy upstairs tenants during our stay. Starting very early each morning, we were awakened by the sound of running, shouting children. While that is no fault of the owners at all, it does put a damper on vacation mornings for renters of a ground-floor unit. Additionally, the master shower was out of commission. We received a slight discount for the inconvenience, but sharing one shower with 4 adults was not ideal. Over all, we greatly enjoyed our stay!

The property was very clean and exceptionally well stocked. From linens to towels, kitchen utensils, water sports equipment, beach chairs, cooler and icepacks. My husband was able to use their snorkel gear to snorkel a 5 minute walk down the road.The favorite for all is the outdoor living area with a view that is truly amazing.

Nice, big condo, right on the ocean! Kitchen well stocked with everything to cook with. One negative is the spices in cupboards were old and had been exposed to the salty air with rusty lids. Lots of great beach gear in the condo like chairs, towels, snorkeling gear. It even had tennis rackets for the courts.
