About this house rental
Welcome to Hoku'Ea Hale, a very private oceanfront residence featuring spectacular ocean views, ocean entry and abundance of covered outdoor living space. Every room opens to the outdoor ocean, where you'll experience tropical paradise and unparalleled views of the Pacific. Named for the property's exquisite sea life Turtle art entry gate; Hoku'Ea features beachfront Jacuzzi spa, wading pools, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, outdoor seaview hot/cold shower, 1 a/c unit and accommodates up to 9 guests
All rooms open up to unobstructed ocean views with the house on a jutting point allowing you to experience to the fullest the natural beauty of Hawai'i and watching spectacular sunsets each evening over the Pacific from the comfort of your own lanai. From the moment you enter, you'll notice the expansive 750 ft2 covered oceanfront lanai, an ideal location to enjoy a delicious cup of Kona coffee while watching Whales and Spinner Dolphins. Hoku'Ea Hale is known as one of the best locations in Kona because of its backyard ocean entry access to snorkeling, surfing, paddle-boarding, and swimming. Surf lessons by professionals are offered right by the house at the best learning surfing spot on the island. It's also an ideal location to experience sea life in your backyard of whales, sea turtles, fish and dolphins in abundance. A resident turtle lives in one of the many wading pools on the beach in front of the house.
We additionally supply one air conditioner 6000 BTU fixed non-stationary unit in the (living/kitchen/TV) room. This a/c unit is in addition to the fixed ceiling fans in every room in the house including one on the lanai, and the many mobile fans. The prevailing trade winds from the west over the ocean and the cool night mountain breezes from the east blow through the house for natural cooling as well. The jacuzzi we have at 102+ degrees. Our pool service guy comes and services the hot tub unswervingly on a regular basis every Friday and can accommodate any guests desires.

Great views, nice kitchen, living space and rooms.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
This is a wonderful waterfront property with a spectacular view! Overall, it was very accommodating for our group of 9 adults and one toddler. Most of our dining was on the spacious lanai that ran the length of the entire house, just a stone's throw from the Pacific! The lava rock entry behind the property can be a bit challenging (best not attempted unless you are a strong swimmer), depending on the swell and tide, but the snorkeling is impressive, and a 10-minute paddle will get you to a small surf break. There is a nice, reef-protected snorkel area (Kahalu’u Park) about a 10-minute walk. The kitchen was well-stocked, but could use more personal sized bowls. The property mgmt co. was responsive to our requests. The coffee grinder was not working, so a new one was delivered forthwith. Now, for some needed improvements. The beach chairs were actually cheap, uncomfortable, rusted steel "camp" chairs; heavy and difficult to carry. Many of them were unusable. Two out of the 4 umbrellas were unusable. We have stayed in several short-term rentals all over the Hawaiian Islands, some much less luxurious and with a lower price per person; nearly all had the nice Tommy Bahama (or similar) beach chairs. These are readily available at the local Costco (approximately 50). The property mgmt even requested that the unusable chairs and umbrellas be replaced with Tommy Bahama, the property owner denied it! Very miserly and short-sighted considering the rental cost of this property!
