The condo is dated, but the location is convenient and the view is a million bucks.You can see all sorts of fish species (and even sea turtles if you're lucky) right from the balcony and bedroom window. The condo has boogie boards, beach mats, beach towels, a parasol and a cooler.

It was an amazing view. Sitting on the porch listening and watching the water below was one of the highlights. The condo was perfect for our stay in Kona.

Great spot right in the ocean so you cna see/hear the ocean all day/night.
The unit had everything needed but could use a little updating.
Very comfortable space and perfect for 4-7 days.. very close to dining and tourist activities

Two equally awesome factors are being close to downtown Kona and having cozy condo with balcony above the ocean.

I couldn’t have been happier. Will come back and stay here again. Because it was stocked with cooler and snorkeling equipment we were able to explore and try snorkeling for the first time and then we were addicted and did it every day in a new location.

Nice clean place with everything you need. The mirror wall makes it look even spacier. The location is great: a beach and restaurants are a couple of minutes away (walking). Safeway and WM are also very close (driving).
I worked from there, and the Internet connection was stable and fast. Couldn't make the TV work, but it didn't bother us because we used our laptops.
And of course the ocean is right under your balcony is priceless. One day a cruise ship parked right in front of our balcony.
Great memories.

This is absolutely the best location if you are looking for a) proximity to the ocean and b) view of the sunset. If you drop a pebble from a arm's length off of the lanai, it will hit the water. The lanai view is almost 160 degrees of ocean, so the (spectacular) sunset is just to the middle-right of your view.
In terms of proximity, Hale Kona Kai is a six minute walk to the main Kona strip, so very easy to get to all of the down-town attractions. But it is far enough away from downtown that the street isn't busy or noisy. It is a 10-minute drive to grocery shopping, gas and stores like Walmart and Target. About 20 minutes from Costco, and easy access to Highway 19 / 11, that circumnavigates the island.
The apartment and complex is very clean, but does show it age (built in 1972, with some obvious remodeling since). The salt-air has also been hard on it, causing some corosion and damage to surfaces. Items like the loose bathroom door, that were mentioned in previous reviews, were not fixed. As mentioned in the listing (July 2022) the central A/C is broken so the apartment has two portable air conditioners and two large fans. These work fine to keep the unit cool, but cause enough of a din to drown out even the sound of the waves right below.
So, our best advice is: if you are looking for a stunning ocean view and proximity, and can sacrifice the feeling of being at a modern property, this is a great find. Mahalo!
