About this house rental

NOTE: NO BACK-TO-BACK BOOKING! There needs to be 24 hours between bookings to ensure proper cleaning. Please make sure your check-in or check-out date does not coincide with an existing check-out or check-in date from another booking.

When you walk through the front door, the Ocean view is breathtaking! Unobstructed ocean views from every room in the house! Our expansive resort style home is only 500 feet from the ocean, on a gentle slope, with 180 degree ocean views, and sunset views every day of the year! Five specious bedrooms all have balconies with an ocean view, and each room can be entered privately. The large, covered lanai provides a stunning open view from the house facing the ocean, with mahogany floors flowing from inside to outside seamlessly through 38 ft pocket sliders.

The house is a gem with its huge size, great location and top amenities. It is superbly spacious, with 4331 sq.ft plus 2000 sq. ft. of covered lanais. It is equipped with everything you can think of for a luxury vacation home, including a gourmet kitchen with professional Viking appliances and kitchen supplies, huge family room and recreation room equipped with ping-pong, pool table, foosball…, and wi-fi everywhere in the house!

Another not-to-miss feature: we have a most beautiful Koa king bed in the master suite, handcrafted by Hawaii local craftsmen. It is a work of art, and so solidly built to provide comfort and soulful companionship to our guests.

The main floor has three bedrooms, along with the great room and kitchen. The ground floor has two more bedrooms, along with the recreation room. There are two full baths and a half bath on the main, and two full baths and a half bath on the ground level. The main floor goes out to the covered lanai with outdoor grill and dining, sitting area, which further goes out to the infinity pool and spa area. The ground floor opens to a lower lanai and a large lawn, also facing the ocean, with another outdoor sitting area. The large lawn is great for light sports, and playtime with the kids.

The house is located in a private gated development. It is so serene that all you hear are the ocean waves and birds singing. It is only 4 miles from Spencer Beach, and just 10 minutes drive to Hapuna Beach State Park, one of the top white sand beaches in the world! Three minutes south of the house is the quaint, historic town of Kawaihae. There you will find restaurants, a fresh fish market, fruit, vegetable and flower market, a dive shop and catamaran cruises. It's a 20 minute drive up to the beautiful ranch town of Waimea, and 40 minutes to the airport and Kona. With only 10 minutes to Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince Resorts, you can easily access the many resort shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis facilities.

With its deep ocean pockets, right in front of out house is about the best place on the island for whale watching. Dive boats anchor in front of the house, which is one of the favorite dive spots on the Kohala Coast. Many of our guests say it is the best snorkeling they have ever had. On the 4th of July and New Years Eve you can watch the fireworks on our lanai. And with the special location of the house, we have gorgeous and unique sunsets each night, 365 days a year.

There are many activities nearby including golf, tennis, diving, sailing, fishing, zip-lining, hiking, surfing and more. But, you may want to relax at the house and sip mai tais by the pool, play bocce ball on the lawn, have a sunset drink on the large lanai overlooking the ocean and have a BBQ on the biggest built-in viking grill you have ever seen.

The house is perfect for special celebrations, family reunions, and a couple’s retreat. It is also a great training spot for the Ironman triathalon in October. There are two beautiful outdoor showers which are convenient for rinsing off sand and dirt after a day's beach outing or biking/boating. The whole house is decorated in a Hawaiian/Indonesian resort style. Many rich hardwoods and natural materials have been used. The infinity edge pool looks like it flows into the ocean, there are lounge chairs on quartzite stone pool deck and on the lower lanai beside the lawn. The whole feel of the house is serene, open and expansive.

So if you are looking for a dream vacation home for a special celebration, vacation or reunion, this one is a gem that is hard to come by. Superb location at the gated Kohala Waterfront, on one acre of private, landscaped gardens 500 feet from the Ocean. Spectacular ocean views, beautiful house, top amenities, privacy and serenity, easy access to tourist activities without the hassle and bustle of the tourist crowds at a resort. What’s more, the whales come in so close they sound like they're playing in the swimming pool during whale season, and you see sunsets all year round. Minutes drive to the best beaches (Mauna Kea and Hapuna) on the whole island. Resort amenities, restaurants, diving, snorkeling, tennis, golf and much more.

Beautiful home in Kohala. Had a wonderful week with family. Thank you!

This was a dream vacation for our group and the house did not dissapoint! Wow! A view to die for, plenty of room for our party of 8, a great kitchen, and a great pool and playroom for the kids. The neighborhood is gated and peaceful. We spent many an hour on the lanai and in the beautiful pool. There are 5 bedrooms. Two upstairs are connected by a bathroom suite-style, one with en suite off of the playroom, one downstairs with en suite that is accessed from the patio (no interior door), and the beautiful master with the most amazing shower you have ever seen! The master is also "detached" and has access from the lanai or from it's own exterior door. All of the bedrooms have air conditioning but the main part of house does not. It does have a wall of screened pocket doors out to the lanai and plenty of windows. The house was comfortable all day in 88 degree weather if we were careful to put the shades down in late afternoon when the sun comes right in the front (gorgeous sunsets!). There are many ceiling fans to keep the breeze flowing too. Granted, we are fom the South but it never got too warm unless we forgot the shades. Honestly we spent most of our time outside anyway!The house is within striking distance of both Waimea and Waikoloa for shopping and supplies and not too far from Kona proper, 45 mins or so.The owner is great. Very responsive and helpful.We all felt so rejuvenated after our stay here. Thank you Julie for letting us share your little slice of paradise!

Our family had an amazing time! The house is fantastic with everything that you would want! The view is spectacular! It was the first trip to Hawaii for our family and the memories will last a lifetime! We would definitely stay there again! We took family pictures in the yard!

What an amazing and beautiful home! We stayed for 10 nights and did not want to leave. Each family had their own private area to stay in. The kitchen was fabulous, and the downstairs rec room was great for all the grandchildren. We enjoyed the pool every day. The gated community is so quiet, and we only heard other people towards the end of our trip. A guy came to trim the coconut trees one day and it was fascinating to watch him climb up and down the trees. The wind did blow hard several days, and the electricity was shut off one day due to wildfire concerns, but we stayed cool by playing in the pool. We saw sea turtles at the beaches we visited; went to Hawi a couple of times; and even drove to Hilo one day. It was a perfect vacation!
