About this property
Kohala Kai Gardens with Panoramic Ocean Views
Kohala Kai Gardens is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath private residence which has been divided into 2 separate units. Only one apartment is offered as a vacation rental while the main owners travel.
It is located on a beautifully landscaped 1.4 acres on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kohala Kai Gardens comes with a full kitchen, open floor plan, dining room, living room and expansive ocean view lanais.
The floor plan allows for a private entrance and ocean view lanais providing comfort and privacy. The green, grassy backyard surrounded by tropical plants is an unexpected oasis.
The other apartment is separate and private from the rental. The property is designed to have only the driveway and the laundry shared.
You will relax and enjoy never-ending ocean views, dazzling sunsets, and tropical breezes. Only a few minutes away is the Kohala 'Gold Coast'. Located at 500 feet above sea level Kohala Kai Gardens provides panaromic views of over 60 miles of the Kohala coast.
Kohala Kai Gardens is located just north of Kawaihae Harbor and a short 10 minute drive to 3 of the islands best beaches, Hapuna, Waialea and Mauna Kea. You can enjoy world famous golf courses, tennis, and oceanfront fine dining at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Hapuna at Mauna Kea Hotel. An additional 5 minute drive south will bring you to Mauna Lani and Waikoloa Beach resorts offering more white sandy beaches, shopping, golf, and dining. The whale watching is incredible during whale season (November through April).
If your pleasure is just gazing at the ocean, this light and airy home with an expansive lanai is just the place for you. The lanai is equipped with lounge chairs and dining, a great place to daydream, read a book or enjoy a meal.
One of the highlights of the property is stepping into the spacious tropical outdoor shower complete with a sitting area and hammock nestled among the ti leaves.
The living room offers plenty of room to relax, prepare meals and dine. It is decorated island style with unique collections of sea shells and glass fishing balls with expansive ocean views.
The kitchen is fully furnished, has new granite countertops and quartz sinks. It is equipped with all new appliances and the basics of spices and oils.
The en-suite Master Bedroom with ocean views has a king size bed and walk-in closet. The bedroom is furnished island style with a very comfortable Tempurpedic bed and quality linens. The sliding doors lead onto the private ocean view front lanai. Should you need an extra breeze, each room has a ceiling fan.
The master bath has been completely remodeled with a tiled walk-in shower, granite countertops and updated fixtures. The towels are soft Turkish cotton.
Wifi is complimentary throughout the home. The living area has a 42" Smart TV for entertainment when you are not busy exploring the island. We also supply all necessary beach equipment, including chairs, umbrella, coolers and beach towels.
Kawaihae Harbor, 5 minutes away by car, offers multiple dining opportunities, including a local Tiki Bar perfect for Happy Hour. There are a number of choices including a fresh fish market, and several restaurants. You can depart on a dive, snorkel, sport fishing or whale watch adventure with our fantastic local operators in the harbor.
After a full day of activity you will enjoy returning to Kohala Kai Gardens to relax in comfort and enjoy the beauty of the ocean and mountains.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Marti & Ed Henrickson
We are recently retired and travel extensively. Having lived in our home since 2000 we know how special a place this is. We divided our home into 2 separate apartments. Each with private entrances and lanais.
Our son, Sean lives in the "other" unit. We are very fortunate to have him live so near to allow us the privilege of travel and have our home taken care of as we travel throughout the world. This year is Israel, Egypt and Jordan.
Our travels have truly proven the fact that this is one of the most beautiful spots on earth and are pleased to start sharing it with our guests.

Why they chose this property
Each and every day that we have lived here has been a blessing. We are so pleased to share it with others during our absence.
The birds wake us up in the mornings and we fall asleep with open windows and doors feeling the cool night breezes.
You will find the sheer joy of simplicity as you watch the waves or listen to the birds. It is not uncommon to get lost in the beauty around you.

What makes this property unique
The floor plan of this shared property allows for a private entrance and private ocean view lanais. You often feel like you are the only folks on the property on nearly 2 acres.
The outdoor shower is one of the best parts of the property. To shower surrounded by orchids, ti leaves and ferns is another blessing to living in Hawaii.
