Welcome to your home away from home, Hale Ke Kai, “where the land and sea meet.” You will come to find out why so many local residents and visitors call it one of the best units at Colony I. We feel honored to have the opportunity to show you the reasons so many have fallen in love with the islands. Those reasons are here to be found in abundance.
The Big Island is our home and we go to great lengths to help you feel at home too. This spacious and beautifully furnished one bedroom condo is single level with absolutely no steps. Although it is considered a condo, there are no upstairs or downstairs neighbors, only the back wall of the closet is shared. Hale KeKai is unit #23 at the Sea Mountain Resort. The lanai (patio) is very private. Speaking of the lanai, “Wow!” is the usual response. Sweeping unobstructed ocean views that blend gently without interruption into an incredible mountain view. This is Hawaii, your Hawaii.
A high quality king size bed in the master bedroom will combine with the soft breezes and gentle lull of the waves to bring calm wondrous dreams of the beauty of the real Hawaii. The living and dining areas also have sweeping ocean views and are outfitted tastefully yet comfortably as this is as much our home as yours. The living area also boasts a fold out sofa bed that we have slept on ourselves and is very comfortable.
The kitchen with range, oven, microwave, full size fridge, coffee/espresso maker, dishwasher, and small appliances is well stocked with quality flat ware, a variety of teas, and condiments and spices to get you started on the meal of your choice.
The bathroom has a cavernous granite tiled shower that is an easy step inside. We love every corner of this place and believe you will too.
Enjoy some world famous Ka’u Coffee on the lanai or hang out at the pool or hot tub with new found friends, either way you will be glad to have found one of the world’s hidden gems. Punaluu Black Sand Beach, consistently voted one of the Top Ten Black Sand Beaches in the World, is only a few minutes’ walk away. Sunbathe beneath the palms, snorkel with turtles, or watch them haul up on the beach. For the more adventuresome, hike out either direction and re-discover Hawaiian historical sites (please show due respect to all archaeological sites and observe proper viewing distance and rules regarding all marine creatures).
Hale Ke Kai is perfect for any family or couple seeking the trip of a lifetime. A secluded, yet accessible wonder that will be remembered.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is only 30 minutes away, making Punaluu the closest ocean front lodging. Hike the volcano by day and relax in the hot tub under the stars by night. The pool and hot tub have wonderful ocean views and you can barbeque fresh island fish or local grass fed beef on one of the quality barbeques next to the pool.
Our special vision for Hale Ke Kai is for people who may be less able to travel to have the chance to visit one of the best kept secrets in the world…and be comfortable. Hale Ke Kai has no steps, no stairs, just a little bump at the front and sliding doors. This means couples where one partner is movement impaired or a family with aging parents can still share moments of beauty and peace. Our goal is for every family member, including children, to feel safe and at home. Should you or your loved one have special needs, please contact us, we will make every attempt to ...

We loved our stay here. The home is perfectly situated near the black sand beaches but away from the hustle and bustle. The grounds are beautifully manicured and you can see the ocean from the back patio. We enjoyed the views and relaxing in the hot tub at night. Only thing we would have liked to have was better beach equipment. Overall we were extremely pleased and Jeff was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was great. Loved that we were 5 minutes from Black Sand Beach and 30 minutes from Volcano National Park. The king size bed was very comfortable. Jeff was very responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely stay again on my next visit.

This was a great area to stay if you want a nice, secluded part of the big island. Right by the Panulu'u black sand beach and close to Hawaii Volcanoes NP. Great way to celebrate our anniversary!

Wonderful accommodations for two in this beautiful, ocean view location. Just a half hour from Volcanoes National Park and nearby lovely Naalehu town, we would love to come back and stay longer! Thank you for the wonderful history and detailed descriptions of the area. Jeff, please leave instructions for a few things, such as TV connection, checkout, and laundry on last day. Great stay!

Cleanest, most updated rental we’ve had at Punaluu in several years. Most have been “well used & worn out” #23 is spectacular in comparison

Property was excellent minus 2 things. It has no air conditioning and is over an hour from any meaningful supplies. Absolutely great view and remote rural setting. The condo has everything you need. Jeff is a great host.

A great base camp to explore everything the big island has to offer. Far enough from the crowds around Kona, but convenient enough to everything from hiking to snorkeling.
The property is well maintained. Evening trade winds help keep things cool overnight.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The proximity to volcano national park and the black sand beach were fantastic. The property is well stocked. The listing does state no air conditioning and there are plenty of fans, but the days did get a little uncomfortably warm for us.
