Hale Kona Kai 312 - Absolute Oceanfront Condo with wraparound lanai
Hale Kona Kai unit 312 is one of our most popular units at Hale Kona Kai. This 3rd floor corner unit features a wraparound lanai facing west and south for full, unobstructed ocean views and the best possible breeze! The unit has been beautifully updated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay on top of the ocean. Central air conditioning keeps the unit comfortable, especially on those warmer days and nights. The most up-to-date internet/wifi equipment' features high speed wifi, a necessity for "working" remotely where Zoom conference calls may be necessary. Watch never-ending spectacular sunsets from the comfort of your lanai.
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.
Amenities include: Small appliances include a hair dryer and iron. Designated parking stall at no charge
This unit 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.
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. Turtles and eels find plenty of sustenance in the tide pools. Wake up and fall asleep to the calming sound of the ocean.
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.

Clean property, private lanai, assigned parking - great location! We had a wonderful stay, fully furnished for our needs, walking distance to Kona Town.
Beautiful ocean view with waves, whales and yellow tang viewed from the property. We loved our time here and looking forward to another stay.

Great stay!
We enjoyed an excellent time at the condo. We enjoyed the lanai, the living room. The set up was excellent. The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking. A great set up for enjoying all of the island.

Great spot!
This is a fantastic unit! The perfect location. Sunset with cocktails on the lanai right on the ocean, watching the whales.
Very clean, well furnished beautiful unit. I wish there had been a small table at which to eat inside the condo (rather than having to sit on a stool at the counter with your back to the view) Loved being there.
We couldn't be happier with the views, location, amenities, and, decor of the condo. The sunsets were incredible and the condo exceeded our expectations. We felt so comfortable there and enjoyed our whole experience. It provided a relaxing atmosphere that made our trip even better.
Thanks for the wonderful accomodations.
We loved this condo with its wrap around balcony and ocean views and sounds! Prime location - able to walk easily to many restaurants and shops. Condo was well stocked with everything we needed plus more. Hopefully, it will be available on our next trip to Kona.
The view, every morning, afternoon and evening (including an incredible sunset everyday!) made our stay very memorable. The apartment is very confortable, very clean, and beautifully decorated. Kitchen is fully equipped and cabinet filled with essentials (S&P, oil, spices etc) to prepare your next meal with a beautiful ocean view. Perfect for our getaway and conveniently located near great restaurants and stores… we already miss the sound of the waves but we will be back one day!

Loved The View
Loved the view. We had two whale sightings during our stay while enjoying morning coffee on the lanai. Room came with all the amenities. One thing we would have liked is a washer/drier in the room, rather than down the hall. Close proximity to Kona shopping and restaurants.
Condo had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nice, 270 deg. view with nice sunsets. Needs an updated entry into the condo.
Elevator and laundry on the floor was a great plus.
Compound a little dated.
If you are looking for a true "oceanfront" condo with a wrap around Lanai, that has a full kitchen, separate bedroom, walk-in shower, and everything you would need to enjoy your stay... this is it! The waves crash DIRECTLY below your Lanai!! Full 180 degree panoramic views from the Southern coastline to the Pier.... There is none better! Thank you Dan And Valerie, we will be back! JVH and DVH - Phoenix, AZ.
Beautiful view; we saw lots of wildlife, cruise ships, and surfers. Kitchen is well appointed with cookware and utensils. Linens were nice. Unit was very clean and neat when we arrived. (Carpet could use a good cleaning.) It would have been nice if the shade worked on the lanai. It can be a bit noisy when the surf is high, but you sure can't beat the view.

Awesome.
This was one of the most amazing rentals we have ever stayed at in Hawaii(20-30 in the last 40 years).
It practically hangs over the ocean and is very clean and modern. The continuous sound of the waves was Awesome. Tracy is probably the best property manager we have ever dealt with, she responded immediately to all of our questions. We will definitely be in touch with her directly for our next rentals.
Scott V. from Big Bear Lake, CA
We were so impressed with this lovely condo. The view is probably the best on the island and location is within walking distance from town and many restaurants and attractions. We did have a little trouble when checking in, as the lock box with the key was corroded and it took a little time to open it. We tried to reach out to the property manager with a couple of questions and concerns and we were told that someone would be getting back to us but no one ever did. No big deal really and we had a wonderful time. I would certainly recommend this condo to anyone going to Kailua Kona!
The view was simply fantastic, we spent a full day on the porch. The place was clean, well maintained, and spacious. My only 2 minor complaints: the couch had 4 legs on the front, both me and my wife stubbed our feet on them. Also, related, I would suggest moving the coffee table away from the couch.

Great unit with fantastic location!
This corner unit over the water is wonderful. Extremely well equipped and comfortable. If you like the sound of waves crashing all day and night this is unbeatable!
