About this apartment rental
This oceanfront condo has a million dollar view! It has a gorgeous Great Room and a beautiful fully equipped kitchen. With the roar of the ocean just a few yards away, you will not want to leave the Lanai after relaxing on the Tropitone furniture.
A beautiful little sandy beach is right in front of your Lanai. This is rare on the Big Island. There are also plenty of "World Famous Beaches" just a few miles away. The Best Snorkeling in the world is on the Kona Coast.
This is a spectacular property designed by award winning architect VLADIMIR OSSIPOFF. It incorporates many features that are his trademark, such as screened full-length louvers throughout to provide flow-through ventilation, a large open lanai, and sliding glass doors and screens that completely hide in a pocket leaving the entire kitchen and great room open to the Lanai. This is a private complex with only six units. It is about 2 miles to the center of Kailua-Kona Village. The Big Island is huge, in fact all the other islands together could fit on it. There is so much to do. You are about 1/4 mile from the open-air Ali'i Gardens Marketplace,where you can browse for local produce, coffee, macnuts,and souvenirs.
Location! Location! Location! We are right on a beautiful small sandy beach with tide pools full of fishes, turtles and gorgeous sparkling water. It is great to look at all day and so much fun for the kids. The sunsets are also spectacular. No crowds because the beach access for the public is about 1/4 mile away across Lava. You can sit on the Lanai and see spinner dolphins go by all year and whales when they are in season.

Best swimming pool on the island! Beautiful beach, perfect for everything!
10.0 / 10.0
This unit is in a building of 6 condos, all facing the ocean. You have your own, assigned parking spot and the condo is easily accessible using a short flight of stairs. The view from the living area and lanai is spectacular! You will be hard pressed to find a better view! We spent a great deal of time just sitting on the lanai and watching the waves, boat activity, etc. and listening to the waves crashing on shore.
The kitchen is well stocked. Some spices were left in cabinets. Also had some condiments in the refrigerator upon arrival.
King bed was very comfortable.
No air-conditioning in condo but we wouldn’t have needed it. We left lanai doors and windows open and had a lovely breeze throughout the unit at all times. There are stand-alone fans in addition to ceiling fans. We had 80% humidity while there and were very comfortable.
There is a small, sandy beach in front of condo as well as next door to building.
The pool is heated with solar and very comfortable.
Alii market place is a few blocks away.
The host is quick to respond to questions and is very accommodating.
We would definitely return to this unit! We enjoyed our stay and the location.

Amazing views and cannot beat the proximity to a small beach. We loved seeing the turtles and plethora of fishes in the tide pools right outside the property gates. Overall, well stocked with coolers, beach gear and plenty of towels. Super nice to have in-unit washer/dryer….we packed much lighter because of it. Lovely sunsets!!! Thank you for a great stay.

We spent spring/Easter break at the condo. The sunsets were amazing! The condo had all of the necessities and communication for checkin was super efficient. The pool was much nicer than pictured and the kids loved the tide pools right outside. Water shoes are a must because beach is mostly lava rock but still very fun. We had some hot water issues but that may have been because we didn’t understand the hot water timer possibly. Not a big deal at all but more explanation on how that works would be helpful. Overall a great trip!

This condo was perfect for what we needed. The location was amazing and literally sitting on the lanai listening to the waves crash day and night was unforgettable. It’s a little bit further out of the downtown area, too far to walk if that’s something you’re looking for. The beds were comfortable and it had all of the accommodations for a great stay. Like others have commented, the road noise is a consideration. Sleeping in the master bedroom, you can hear the road noise. But with lots of fans going, it would not keep me from coming back. The private little beach and the amazing pool made this an incredible stay!
The owners made a great suggestions for places to visit before we even arrived, and when we did have an issue, we were able to reach the manager and fix the issue right away. Great vacation rental, we will be back!

Wow! If ocean views and crashing waves are your idea of heaven, then this is the place for you! From the moment you walk in until your head hits the pillow, this condo delivers the best experience. The lanai is spacious with the best views that extend into the kitchen. You won't miss a gorgeous moment while whipping up your favorite eats. And with the wall of sliding doors you get to experience the cooling Tradewinds and if they aren't blowing, there are plenty of excellent fans to keep you cool. The location is fantastic with easy access to the town of Kona and close to the best snorkeling for all levels. Don't miss the tacos at Shakaz Tacoz and wares at the Alii marketplace just a 1/2 mile up the road- an easy walk. The only downside here was tearing ourselves away from the view to leave and visit all the Big Island has to offer. We will definitely be back !

The view here is unbelievable. Anything you may need in a kitchen is here. Plenty of beach use items like coolers, etc. Our granddaughter enjoyed the pool and the supplied pool toys, as well. Definitely a place we consider to be a repeat.

We stayed here for the Ironman race. The location was perfect and the views alone were amazing. I was anxious about the condo not having air conditioning, but the sea breeze and the fans provided kept the space cool. There kitchen had everything you could think of, and having a washer dryer in the unit was handy. Would definitely stay here again.

Just an outstanding property. Million dollar sunsets, great pool and wonderful property. Definitely would return to this listing again.

We enjoyed our stay here. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the sunsets were spectacular. The sand beach is a very short walk from the house and there were beach chairs, towels, coolers and beach towels provided. The pool is nice. The kitchen has all the tools you’ll need to cook meals. The living area is large and has games, puzzles and DVDs. The bedrooms are good sized with comfortable beds. The place is in need of some minor repairs and updating but that did not detract from our experience. It could have been cleaned better

We loved this condo. It's in a small complex (only six units), which makes it very private and quiet (no noisy neighbors to deal with). It is very well furnished with everything that one needs while on vacation. We would definitely stay again.

This condo was just perfect for our needs! Recommended by a friend of mine who has booked with the host, Cecille, twice, this condo did not disappoint! Nice and quiet (only 6 units in building) this condo afforded us beautiful mornings as well as stunning sunsets. Literally everything we could have imagined needing was made available to us - especially in the kitchen! Beach towels, toys, floats, chairs - you name it, it was there. Very nice welcome chocolates along with the info on how to reach the caretakers was a nice touch. Don’t worry about no AC - there were plenty of fans and some we didn’t even turn on. The pool was a refreshing touch. Easy in/out instructions made for contactless check-in and out.
There were a few items that were corroded by the salt air but HELLO, you are literally steps to the ocean so that cannot be helped.
Communication with Cecille was easy and she responded quickly. Lovely host!
The only concern I would point out - and I say this only as I am disabled and somewhat wobbly on rocky terrain - it could be a bit tricky walking over the lava to get to the private beach. I recommend a good pair of water shoes with decent grip to help you traverse. But it’s well worth it! Walking around the volcanic tide pools, I spotted baby eels and other incredible macro sea life, not to mention some cool broken pencil urchin spines and yes, even some sea glass. Lots to discover!
I can’t wait to return!

My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay and had all of the amenities we would typically use at home with the addition of the most amazing view off of the lanai. We did not see any dolphins or turtles in front of the condo while we were there but had fun walking on the rocks and just staring out at the ocean. We cannot wait to return!
The co-owners, Cecille and Janet, were incredibly helpful, informative, responsive, and accommodating. The condo was clean upon arrival. Pack lite as there is a washer and dryer (suggestion, leave the washer door open to let moisture escape and prevent mildew build up). We had the pool to ourselves every day. Great pool (3.5 to 6 to 9 feet). Plenty of snorkel/beach gear. Take inventory of what is there before buying. We left some beach items to contribute to the fun!
You are very close to downtown with restaurants and shops. Walmart and Safeway are a couple of miles away and Costco is about 15 minutes away.
As some of the other reviewers mentioned, there is no AC which we were a little concerned about but not an issue at all. You can hear cars/motorcycles going by on Alii St (mostly at night as we were out during the day) but it did not bother our sleep. You wake up to birds chirping which we found very tropical and sweet.
The condo is very spacious and comfortable, but does have some wear and tear in and around the property but given the proximity to the ocean it is to be expected but nothing that would keep us from returning. Aloha!

Cecille's condo was the perfect base for our visit to the big island. The condo was beautiful and the view was incredible. Our favorite parts were the pool (pictures did not do it justice) and the lanai. We never heard neighbors above or below us and the sound of the ocean put us to sleep every night. Our kids have never slept better! Air conditioning is not needed and road noise was never an issue. If we ever return it will be here.

We have stayed quite a few times at hale pohaku 4 and enjoy our stay every time. The location is everything with the sounds of the ocean and a little turtle refuge down the beach. Alii Dr can get a little noisy at night but not enough for us to want to stay anywhere else. The owners are easy to communicate with. The condo has everything a person could need.

We had been travelling around the Big Island so finishing at the condo was a welcome end to the holiday. Listening to the waves from the balcony was so relaxing and being able to walk onto the beach so easily to check the rock pools was fabulous.
We were lucky enough to have the pool to ourselves when we used it, which was an added bonus.
The condo is very well stocked in the kitchen, every gadget that you will need if you want to cook. Beach toys and cooler bag were a nice find, we added to the pile ready for the next guests.
There are a few signs of wear and tear around the condo and complex but they are to be expected, especially when so close to the sea air. Not having air con was not an issue for us, the sea breeze and fans were enough to keep us cool. The louver windows are necessary to feel that breeze but it does mean you hear more outside noise than you would with glazed windows, only an issue if you are a light sleeper. The traffic can be heard at night from the main bedroom but again didn’t really bother us.
Definitely would stay here again if we were lucky enough to return to Hawaii

My parents and I really enjoyed our stay at this location. You can’t beat the view, we enjoyed watching sunsets from the lanai each night. Important things to note that other guests have mentioned: (1) not a
Location for light sleepers. You can hear the ocean, the rain, the beautiful birds but also the street traffic. Kona is where the Ironman takes place so there is a lot of pedestrians/ bicycles/ and cars on the road. The louvered windows are typical tropical house design. (We liked it but be prepared). (2) unit does not have elevator and is on 2nd level up about 10 stairs. My almost 80 year old mom could get up to the condo and down to the pool fine but the beach access is steeper stairs and rockier so she did not go to the water. (3) the parking spots are a little tight. If you rent anything larger than a sedan you might need to park in the guest spots, I think a jeep 4x4 or suv would not fit very well. There are several items in the condo that need attention, the sea ocean air has destroyed the patio doors and there was water damage in ceiling in living room from rain. We couldn’t get live tv to work in living room by Netflix was fine. Tv in master didn’t work but honestly we barely watched tv so we didn’t really care. Pros: plenty of dishes and cookware. Pool and beach gear including chairs and coolers, fans to make up for no A/C. Directions and labels everywhere from owners( I found these helpful). Make sure if you go down the pool you remember that you have to walk up 2 sets of stairs to get back to the condo… my dad and I might have scared the downstairs neighbors trying to get into the wrong condo. 😂 Also read the guestbooks and check out the photo albums on coffee table from owners of the remodel.

Lovely condo with a 5 star host. Waterfront- can’t get closer to the water. Amazing view, pool is fab, check in is seamless. Would recommend this property for your next Big Island vacation

The unit was beautifully decorated with a modern touch. It was veryclean, spacious, with amazing upfront views of the ocean and coastlines. Relaxed many hours on the super-sized lanai and found the floor to ceiling louver windows allowed great airflow throughout the day. Communication wiith Cecile was top notch. We look forward to returning someday!

We stayed here during IM week and were happy to have such beautiful accommodation. The pictures do not do the view justice. The condo was clean and had a nice breeze to offset no AC.
The owner was very quick to to respond to any questions.
Hoping we get to stay here again on our next trip to the island

Beautiful unit in a fabulous location close to Kailua-Kona town and Keauhou! Outstanding things to note - the view (of course!); the beds; the pool (which we had to ourselves every day); access to ocean; and kitchen (including how well-stocked).
Other things to note - this condo is right on the ocean so beware that salt water affects many things like metal hinges and closet door rollers (this is unavoidable and does not reflect on the owner's care of the unit!); the building is located on Ali'i drive so there is traffic noise which dies down late at night; the unit is steps away from the ocean so there is constant ocean noise (great for us, but maybe not for everyone); no A/C but there are super breezes due to proximity to ocean and multiple fans in every room; as other renters have noted, there is some noise from other units (just something to be aware of).
There are just 3 things that needed attention - the hallway smoke alarm needs a new battery as it was beeping; the light in the master bathroom shower needs a new bulb; the closet doors in the second bedroom were very hard to open/close and should probably be replaced as they kept popping off the roller grooves (not ideal for big, heavy, mirrored doors).
Owners were FABULOUS about accommodating our travel itinerary, communication was excellent, and everything at the unit is labelled really well. Overall, a WONDERFUL experience and stay!! Much aloha for the opportunity!!

This property has everything you need, from condiments, beach supplies, to laundry detergent. The host is super nice and responds very quickly. The view is amazing and I enjoyed breakfast very morning watching the waves. The location cannot be any better for Kona. It is a bit noisy, and some parts are a little dated, but the view and the wonderful host makes up for it!

Loved, loved, loved this place! I was worried about the lack of AC, but the cool breeze from the ocean kept it quite comfortable. Incredible view and loved that we didn't have to jockey for a parking spot after each long day exploring the island.

Excellent view and access to beach cove was really great. There's a path in back of the visible cove, which leads to a larger semi-protected cove that is good for younger kids to swim. Stayed late July and it was a bit warmer than anticipated and ended up using all fans available. One or two more fans would be perfect. Pool was warm and bigger than expected. Lots of stock items in kitchen for guest use. Only issue we really had was related to door locks getting a bit stuck likely due to salty air/humidity causing door swelling or sticky locks. We had a fire alarm battery dying and property manager showed up extremely fast to help get it replaced. Just an FYI, there are no windows (louvers), so noise really does travel including other guests slamming doors (easy to do with winds), crying kids, and birds chirping. If you are a light sleeper, recommend ear plugs. Nice residential quiet area, recommend a car if staying here.

This is my favorite property to rent. So thankful to have found it, you’re so comfortable and listening to the waves crash when you go to sleep is a luxury. Thank you

A little piece of paradise
What an excellent unit and great host! Cecile is communicative and very welcoming.
We spent 9 nights here. Check in was easy following the directions provided. Unit has a dedicated covered parking spot and is up a small set of steps. Easy to find our way around the area.
The unit was clean and while a bit warm on arrival, opening the louvers and lanai screens cooled it in no time. Didn't miss a/c at all and the breeze and sound of the waves carried all throughout the unit day and night. Some noise from the cars/road but infrequent and typically muffled by the breeze and waves so not obtrusive.
Bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of extra pillows and lots of room for clothes. Laundry worked great and was very nice to have to clean up from hiking and other activities. Plenty of extra beach and bath towels, and lots of beach gear to use as well.
Kitchen may be the most well stocked of any condo we've stayed in. Love that they leave in-date condiments and other non perishable pantry items to reduce waste or overbuying. All appliances worked perfectly and there is plenty of cookware and dishes, good knives and other supplies for those who like to cook. We love not having to dress and go out every night and just prepare a nice meal in with a great view.
We had busy busy mornings and usually came back to spend the afternoon enjoying the waves from the lanai or pool. There is a small beach that can be accessed from the pool gate. Never more than a handful of folks there so qute private and fun to explore the tidepools. Pool was very clean, a comfortable temperature and often we had it all to ourselves.
I'll remember this trip forever, thanks for sharing this beautiful home!

We are repeat travelers to Cecille’s rental. We love sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves crash onto the lava.

Ideal location
We absolutely loved the location of this property primarily because it was right on the shore and we spent endless hours on the balcony watching & listening to the ocean.
We liked the close proximity to Kona and the restaurants & various boat excursions.
We enjoyed the convenience of two bathrooms, a full kitchen and a secure parking spot.
We would not hesitate to recommend this location.
We were able to stay for 16 days. So we feel we were certainly able to "cover" the island of Hawaii. However, if we decided to return, we would want to come here again.

We loved watching the ocean sunsets, the playing young whales and listening to the pounding surf! Large lanai with wonderful kitchen, living area! Very well equipped kitchen and wish we had started cooking earlier… busy enjoying all the delicious restaurants in Kona area👍 Bedrooms and baths were comfortable/worked well! Fans were great though trade winds were the best! We would stay here again and hope to do so!! Thank you!!

Wonderful stay!
We loved our time in Kailua-Kona! The condo was outstanding for location and amenities! The condo was clean, the view was beautiful, and we were close to everything. At first we thought that no air conditioning was going to be an issue, but it was gorgeous! There was a constant breeze and simply beautiful!

The condo is everything you could ask for to have a great vacation. The lanai has ocean views you can not get enough of. The location is just 2 or 3 miles from shopping and endless restraunts.
