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 accommodate your needs.

Check in was easy, the place was ready and had everything we needed. The location was excellent for volcano national park, green sand beach and black sand beach was super close! We had a fabulous stay!

This condo is amazing. It has everything you need and more. Communication with the owner was excellent. We will definitely stay here again, if it’s available when we are on the island. Jutta

This is a nice quiet place on the south end if the island close to the black sand and green sand beaches. It is a great place to relax and a good place to serve as home base when exploring the island. This unit has great view from the back patio.

Beautiful place, perfect lay out of rooms with south-facing patio. Neighbors next door, but patio was very private. Pool was great for the kids. Black sand beach is wonderful, saw lots of green turtles. Best bakery ever in the nearest village.

Let's start with the owner Jeff - prior to our visit Jeff reached out and provided info regarding the unit, provided his contact info and welcomed any concerns or questions. When we arrived we were thrilled with the accommodations, location and amenities. This unit is an excellent place to stay and we would definitely be returning. Thank you!

Return visits say it all. We love this unit. Stayed here previously in 2015 and 2018. Glad to see it was available for our week in the Big Island this time. Well appointed and equipped. Everything clean and in working order. Great location nearer Volcanoes National Park than Hilo or Kona. Scrumptious bakery just up the road. Great black sand beach. Miss the golf course but the condo complex is well maintained and quiet. Hope to return again.

The absolute best VRBO property we've ever stayed in. The condo is beautiful and well-stocked. The host responds to questions or issues immediately. The location within a 10-minute walk from Punalu'u black sand beach is outstanding. This is our second time renting here. We love it.

Mahalo Jeff, We completely enjoyed our stay at Hale Ke Kai. It's a fabulous location both island wise and within the complex. Unobstructed views of the ocean and the old golf course. The unit is very well stocked, spices in the kitchen, linens, paper products and Aloha. We spent a week here and felt revitalized when we left. It's one hour to Hilo, 40 mins to Volcanos Natl. Park and a hour and a half to Kailua-Kona. It's a bit remote and that's what we wanted. We will stay here again in the future if available. Jeff is a great host with excellent communications. Mahalo again, Brent Clancy, MT

I knew we'd be out there... but this spot is absolutely perfect for enjoying nature without having to give up too many amenities (with a child, kind of a must...for now). Do your grocery shopping prior, and enjoy the heck out of this property. Pull out bed is actually extremely comfortable, and we let my daughter sleep in the main room so we could hear the ocean at night.

The home was exactly as advertised. It is in a quite rural area, so car is definitely recommended for getting around town, to go eat out or go grocery shopping. A black sand beach is five minutes walking distance away and it’s beautiful, and there are green turtles sunning themselves there too.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 40th anniversary trip to the Big Island. The condo was perfect for an adult couple with lots to see and do within driving distance, or just stay home and lounge on the patio or at the pool. The turtles at the Black Sands Beach were only a few minutes away. All around great time.

My husband and I just returned from our trip and We loved this perfect little cottage! I found this place using accessibility filters on vrbo as my husband is a wheelchair user. Just a quick heads up to other wheelchair users- this space is a little tight to navigate (especially if you use a power chair). The door is also really really heavy (husband couldn’t open it on his own) and the hill leading to the house is very steep. This is not AT ALL Meant to come across as a negative review- we had a lovely time and loved being at the house. Just wanted to give a heads up to any other wheelchair users looking for an accessible space. It is technically accessible” but by the end of the week my husband was a little frustrated.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Kekai. We had a tv problem and Jeff was quickly responsive in solving the issue. While it turned out to be unsolvable, it didn't impact our stay at all but he made it up to us regardless. The pool area is was never busy and had a beautiful view. We walked to the black sand beach and had a great time seeing the turtles. We would surely stay again!

This is an absolutely lovely property and location. I loved sitting on the patio and listening to the ocean and the birds in the morning and evenings. It’s close to Volcanoes National Park - it’s absolutely perfect if you plan to spend a lot of time in the park. We got up early each day and made it to the park by 7AM and had all the trails to ourselves. That alone is worth the stay. The black sand beach is within walking distance and you’ll see green sea turtles and nēnē wandering around. It feels a world away from any other part of the island. The condo was older but clean and well taken care of. Really, it’s perfect. We loved it so much and I hope we’ll come back again. Jeff was also wonderful. He stayed in touch and was always friendly. I really can’t recommend it enough! I wish we had stayed longer!

We enjoy this little cottage- it was quiet and peaceful and had a wonderful view of the sunrise in the mornings and the ocean. The quick walk down to Punalu’u Beach was nice and we saw turtles almost every day. Even though there wasn’t AC (which we knew) it cooled off at night and we slept fine. You’re close to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park; however, not much else. I’d highly recommend the Tuk Tuk Thai Food Truck in Volcano and the Punalu’u Bake Shop in Naalehu- both were excellent. There were a few insects at the condo- the deck must have an ant colony somewhere under the cement that should be addressed. Despite that, we would definitely stay again. 😊

We loved the location, and being able to get away from it all. We stopped by the grocery story when we landed, and loaded up on basics. From there we headed to the condo and were pleasantly surprised with all of the amenities and easy access. Amazing views, location and all the guests we encountered were very friendly. It was quiet and perfect for relaxing. A+

We enjoyed our stay in this condo, it was the perfect break from the busyness of Kona. Nice layout/furnishings and the patio is such a great private location in a peaceful complex, with a neat view of the old golf course and ocean. Great hot tub just down the sidewalk. Close to Punalu’u black sand beach and we also liked Whittington Beach park, which was not far down the road, and of course the easy access to the S/SE corners of the island - we were glad we stayed on the south end for part of our trip to cut down on days spent driving. Abnormally wet weather impacted the entire island during our stay but we still enjoyed sitting under the patio awning, and the slopes to the north blocked the wind so it was much more pleasant here than some areas. The road to the west was flooded on our way back to the Kona airport, but it was probably easier to drive around through Hilo in the rain anyway, so no big deal. Host was super responsive and easy to work with.

This unit had the best view of the whole complex. We sat for hours listening to and watching the ocean. It was a short walk to Punalu’u Black Sand Beach and a 10 minute drive to Na’ahilu where you can find a couple of cafes and the famous Punalu’u Bake shop. South Point was also close by and the National Park is only 35 minutes away. It does get warm in the unit in the daytime but there are plenty of fans to keep it cool at night. A perfect quiet getaway in the southern part of the Big Island.

We loved our stay here -- a great place to stay to be closer to things on the southern and eastern part of the island. Easy day trips to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, green sand beach - and the black sand beach is right there. The view from the place cannot be beat. Pool and hot tub were great too! One thing we didn't pay close attention to - this spot is really on its own - bring food with you or just know there are limited options (and the ones that exist close early) for restaurants or grocery stores. Not a minus - just important to know! Hosts were responsive and helpful. We loved this spot!!

The condo was perfect for two. All the neighbors were friendly and we did visit the black beach once. We were out adventuring every day as the condo is about 30 minutes from Volcanoes NP and 1.5 hours from adventures in Kona.. Naalehu had a good farmers market and we stocked up on fish, fresh bread and fruit. Naalehu is about 15 minutes. The nearest larger grocery store is in Ocean view, 20 minutes from the condo. The condo had all cooking needs covered, beach towels, fins and a boogie board. We had coffee on the patio with a view of the ocean every morning. Also, the ceiling fans moved air nicely and kept the condo comfortable.

Naalehu had a good farmers market and we stocked up on fish, fresh bread and fruit. Naalehu is about 15 minutes. The nearest larger grocery store is in Ocean view, 20 minutes from the condo. The condo had all cooking needs covered, beach towels, fins and a boogie board. We had coffee on the patio with a view of the ocean every morning. Also, the ceiling fans moved air nicely and kept the condo comfortable.

The proximity (short walk) to Punalu’u Beach where you can enjoy the black sands, snorkeling with tropical fish, and observing sea turtles underwater contently going about their days was simply awesome! Volcano Nation Park was only about a 30-minute drive away as well. The shared pool and hot tub on-site were very nice with beautiful landscaping, nighttime stars, sunrise and sunset views! The space had everything we needed including linens and beach towels. Check-out was very hands-off and easy.

Nice private unit at the end of the Colony One project. It's a very pleasant, relaxing place to stay for a few days. Only complaints is the unit wasn't as clean as we hoped (fair amount of dirt and even animal droppings littered around property) and needs updating (e.g., outside table is uncomfortable and could use an umbrella to block the glaring sun). Fairly well stocked (...though there was no soap in bathroom.; had to use hand sanitizer instead). Notwithstanding such hiccups, would recommend the place as a nice relaxing get-away.

Loved this unit. It was in a nice quiet area. Very clean, loved the open space of the yard. Will definitely be back!

The condo is as advertised. It feels like you have your own back yard. The nice breeze and sunrises cannot be beat. The bed was very comfortable. The condo was well stocked with towels, kitchen items, and beach items. Communication with the owner was top notch. There is a nice view of the ocean and mountains. We loved the location for exploring the east side of the island. Having Punalu’u Black Sand beach so close by was incredible and easily walked to. There is no air conditioning, but that is stated in the description. They do have ceiling fans and 3 extra fans to keep you cooler. I highly recommend this condo. It is off the beaten path, which we love, serene, peaceful, and as private as you can get being in a condo.
