Hale Kona Kai 212 - Absolute Oceanfront condo with large wraparound lanai

Welcome to Hale Kona Kai 212, a beautiful oceanfront corner condo with wraparound lanai, located on the Kona Coast in the heart of Kailua Kona, Hawaii. This stunning property offers an unparalleled experience with its absolute oceanfront position, providing guests with breathtaking 180-degree unobstructed ocean views that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own wraparound lanai. This comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo is perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. The spacious bedroom features a luxurious King-sized bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep while you listen to the soothing sounds 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.

Designed for comfort and convenience, this unit features a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and stove, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay. The living area is inviting and equipped with a television and high-speed internet, perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.
Step outside to the wraparound lanai, where you can soak up the sun or enjoy a meal al fresco while taking in the stunning ocean views. The property also boasts an oceanfront pool, providing a refreshing escape just steps from your door.

Additional amenities include air conditioning, elevator access, and enhanced cleaning practices to ensure your stay is both comfortable and safe. The condo is wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for all guests. UV film on the sliding glass door and windows protects the interior from the sun, but does not distort your perfect ocean view.

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.

Included: iron, hair dryer, starter kit that includes shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper and paper towels, dish soap, and a small bag of Kona Coffee.

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.

Located in the vibrant Kona area, Hale Kona Kai 212 is just a short distance from local attractions, including beautiful beaches, shopping, and dining options. Whether you're looking to explore the underwater wonders through snorkeling, enjoy a day of deep-sea fishing, or simply relax by the pool, this property is the perfect base for your Hawaiian adventure.

Hawaii, a dream destination, often surprises first-time visitors. The ocean, usually serene and calm here in Kona, transforms into a powerful surf break during winter. If you're staying in an oceanfront unit, “surf's up” might mean experiencing ocean spray while relaxing on the lanai. If your bedroom faces the ocean, the sound of the waves could keep you awake at night. Some find it soothing, while others find it disruptive. These factors are crucial to consider when booking an oceanfront property.

Hale Kona Kai is situated as close to the ocean as a building can be. The angle of the building and the location of the condo units determine their proximity to the water. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We manage several units in this building and are happy to assist you in finding the best unit that suits your needs.

Everything was wonderful. The unit is small but great use of space and was very comfortable for the two of us. We loved the wrap around lanai and appreciated the high bar stool bistro set and spent most of our time out there. Tracy was very responsive to any questions we had. It is a perfect location and within walking distance to downtown Kona with plenty of shops and restaurants.

Beautiful oceanfront location. Watching turtles, fish, and eels from the balcony every morning was a highlight. This condo has beach chairs, an umbrella, and small cooler so we were set for the beach. We walked to Kailua Kona and to local small beaches but still recommend a car because you don’t want to miss Kohala beaches or Volcanoes park and they require a drive. The only drawback of this condo is that it feels damp but we understood that this will happen when your balcony is literally 20 feet above the surf.

Great location! Close enough to town to walk. This was the most time we’ve ever spent at a property relaxing. The wrap-around lanai was great for lounging, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The covered parking was a bonus, too.

STUNNING. You can see the ocean from every room except the bathroom.

The view is incredible and has a GREAT patio with various seating options. The bed is fine, they have LOTS to do in the condo itself (games, books, beach toys), but the location is the real star. It is close enough to walk to shopping, but not quite in the middle of any loud bars or hotels, so it's quiet. I can't say "the view is incredible" enough, so the view is incredible!

This property has a perfect blend. Near enough to Kailua-Kona to walk to shops and restaurants, but down the beach enough for quiet privacy. The bed was very comfortable and the nearby "Absolute Oceanfront" surf provided the perfect background for restful sleep. Great water pressure in the shower. The wraparound lanai allowed us to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The swimming pool gave us another option for sun and swimming. Magic Sands Beach is about 2.5 miles away with ample parking. We appreciated the covered dedicated parking space. The two air conditioning units allowed us to set the temperature right where we wanted it. Most of the time, we opened the windows and the lanai door to enjoy the balmy weather. We had a fantastic stay.

We've stayed here several times before. You just can't beat the location. Being so close to Kona allowed us to not have to worry about parking because we could easily walk to anywhere on Ali'i. Ample restaurants and shops and a farmers market with fresh fruits made it very convenient. All in all, a great two weeks!

The last three days I got 4 or 5 bite after I got up 2 different mornings. My sister got one on Saturday. Mine were Sunday and Tuesday.Other than that things were pretty nice. I thought we would be closer to the shop at the north end but it would of been a long walk . We had to drive to all places.
