About this property

True and Absolute Oceanfront Condo ๐ŸŒ… Breathtaking Views From The Lanai!๐ŸHale Kona Kai 402

True and complete oceanfront condo with a lanai (balcony) that almost hangs over the beach. See the ponds below where the turtle and the eels want to come and feed. Let the sounds of the sea make you sleep after a day of sightseeing or relaxation. Both the bedroom and living room face the sea, where you can see dolphins all year round and whales in season.

Central A/C
Tastefully refurbished kitchen and bathroom with step-in tile tub.
King-size bed in the bedroom.
Condo has a new island taste in design and comfort.

Hale Kona Kai is an intimate, absolute oceanfront complex of 39 one-bedroom condominiums. Located at the edge of Kona Town, it is off the main road providing for quiet, ocean-view relaxation from every unit. Located just south of Royal Kona Resort, excellent dining at Don the Beachcomber and other restaurants are a bit further into Kona Town. You will find the white sand of Honl's Beach less than a quarter-mile to the south and the Kona Farmer's Market just a half-mile to the north.

The complex offers an elevator that provides convenient access for all. On the ocean side, you'll find a heated saltwater swimming pool and a grill on the south end of the complex. Each floor has coin-operated washers and dryers for your use. Each condo does not have its own washer/dryer.

Each unit includes designated parking, safe WIFI, & cable TV. Both units, like Lanais, are non-smoking and Hale Kona Kai is non-smoking.

Oceanfront oasis

This is our fourth visit to this property. My husband and I love the oceanfront lanai and that the bedroom also is on the ocean side so we can hear the ocean all night with the window open. Very conveniently located to walk to restaurants and stores in Kona. The assigned parking space at the property is also ideal for us. Looking forward to our next visit!

Disappointed unfortunately. We were not told up front of the issues of this unit. A sliding door to our ocean view wouldn't open from corrosion, portable loud AC's because central air was broken and a shower door that wouldn't open or close. Unit felt dated and not clean. Future guests deserve better, and problems of this magnitude should be disclosed up front. Our issues were not resolved with Casago management during our stay and disheartening when expectations are not met. A positive note it's locally perfect for walking to the town of Kona and experience the shops and being on the ocean. We stayed at Hale Kona Kai many times years ago and it was great, but needs a lot of TLC now. Sincerely, Dan & Caren
