KKSR3101 DIRECT OCEANFRONT GROUND FLOOR CORNER ADVOCATES PLANET-FRIENDLINESS

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 pickle ball/tennis courts, standard internet access for the complex, cable TV from a brand new 42" TV installed, 9, 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. tennis equipment, pickleball, badminton and pingpong

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, indoor and outdoor shades filter the sun, and fans provide a cooling breeze. We’re opting not to install A/C. USB ports on the bedroom clocks make phones and tablets charging easy. If you are combining work with vacation, two desks facing the ocean and hi-speed internet will support you.

To honor the 'aina, the land which feeds us, we don’t strive for high-end luxury and newness, but we do strive for clean, comfortable and functional. 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 your 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 the fun and relaxation of Hawaii.

Whether from beaches and viewpoints around the Island, or the lanai at Hale Malama Pono, gaze at the gleaming turquoise ocean, spraying white as it crashes against the black lava, and see a different, beautiful sunset every night.
