Area
Kona/Keauhou
The sunny Kona Coast is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and rich Hawaiian history. Visit cherished landmarks like Hulihe'e Palace, Moku'aikaua Church, and Ahu'ena Heiau—just 8 miles south of the Kona International Airport. Kona is a world-class destination for deep-sea fishing, home to the annual International Billfish Tournament in August and the legendary IRONMAN World Championship in October. The cooler upland slopes are famous for producing the region's celebrated Kona coffee. From snorkeling, scuba diving, and paddling to spotting spinner dolphins and sea turtles along the shore, daily adventures abound. Or simply relax with a cocktail or meal along Ali'i Drive as boats glide by. At the southern end of Kailua-Kona, Keauhou Bay—birthplace of King Kamehameha III—is known for its calm waters, ideal for swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling. It's also a prime spot for manta ray encounters and ocean excursions.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach house. We spent a lot of time on the back covered porch enjoying the ocean and watching all the surfers, swimmers and boats. The house was conveniently located to lots of activities but far enough away that it was very peaceful.

Spent 10 days at this house, it was exactly as described. Clear communication before I arrived, easy to check-in, and clean well-maintained property. The back deck is absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed the sunsets each evening. Definitely would stay here again, very much worth it!

Sunrise to sunset this home is spectacular! Going to bed and waking up that close to the ocean was a dream. It's close to the road, but the ocean is louder than any passing cars. The walk to the nearby beach park couldn't have been easier. And the KITCHEN, wow, the best stocked kitchen we've ever had. A truly special place.

Perfect for solo travelers that don't want to deal with a whole mess of people in a hotel. Loved waking up to the sound of crashing waves and planning my day on the lanai with a cup of coffee. Snorkel and surf is just a few steps away at Kahului Bay. I was greeted by the property manager Adriana who made sure I found my around the house. Looking forward to coming back!!

Great view with crashing surf. We saw whales jumping most afternoons
Well laid out house with great amenities. The view is beautiful and the kitchen well stocked. It’s important to note that each bedroom has a private ac but no ac in the common areas. There are lots of breezes and we were not hot but it can get a bit humid .

We absolutely loved this home. Unreal location - feels like the ocean is all yours. Super convenient to stores, restaurants, etc., but also a great launching spot for off-grid adventures. It is right on Ali'i Drive, as others have noted, and at times you will hear traffic; but the wall provides decent privacy and most of the time any road noise is canceled out by the sounds of the surf. Management was awesome to deal with. Really a great spot and we will happily return.

This house was everything I wanted. To see, smell and hear the ocean at all times. To sit on the lanai and have a glass of wine and watch the surfers was the best!
We could not have asked for a better property to visit during our stay on the Big Island. The deck is even better than the photos! Amazing sunsets, calming sound of the ocean, and a warm breeze all the time. The kitchen was well stocked, shower had amazing water pressure, and the bed is comfortable. The location is great to visit the entire island, close to restaurants and the airport while feeling like you are on a private island once in the house. They even had beach chairs and towels to use, which was so convenient. I’d return to the Big Island again for the sole reason to stay at this home again!

We really enjoyed our stay with million dollar view. The house was nice and cozy, it will not disappoint. Our only gripe will be that we had ants in the kitchen and grub like worm in the foyer and living room area daily. Other than that, we will definitely stay here again and again. The sound of crushing waves and beautiful sunset, who cares about bugs!! It is a beautiful home with lots of character. I highly recommend this beautiful home for your next vacation!! Enjoy!!

Hi, overall we liked our stay. We’d rate a 6 out of 10. We liked being further out. Would really suggest a new bed and pillows also AC unit in the living room. It did get a little uncomfortable we spent most of the time out in the porch.
