About this property

Don`t miss out on this amazing home for your Kona vacation!

This 3 Bedroom, 2 bath, one level (upstairs) home is about 3 miles south of downtown Kona and just up the hill from some of Kona’s most famous beaches and surf spots. The home is located in a safe neighborhood, perched upon the hill where you can see the ocean and hear the roar of the waves, during high surf! The large, open kitchen has a breakfast bar with granite countertops, a 6 gas burner stove and double ovens. The beach-entry, saltwater pool is perfect for children of all ages and surrounded by lush mature trees and flowers. You can spend your days in the backyard oasis, grilling, swimming and lounging. Or if you need recommendations for beaches or restaurants I'm always happy to share tips to make your Kona holiday wonderful! Our onsite manager, Pauly, lives in the apartment downstairs, so if there is something you need, feel free to knock on his door and he is happy to help! Please reach out through VRBO message, first, if outside of normal business hours.

This rental spot was exactly what my family needed. This home was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the Aloha of Hawaii. I would gladly return and stay again. Thank you to the owners from the gift of their home. We are very grateful. I would strongly recommend this rental to others. Comfy beds, good kitchen and a gorgeous pool are my three favorites of this property.

Our Hostess & on-site host were very kind & friendly. Nice people always make the experience great. The house was very comfortable with all you need to relax, cook, just live. The location was perfect: central location for Kailua-Kona coastline, as well as for going North & South for site seeing. Love love loved this place. If we’d never left the house, we were in paradise. Beds were comfortable & pool and deck were fabulous.

We had a wonderful stay at Annie's place! It was well equipped with everything we needed, including all cooking utensils needed for meal and a beautiful pool/outdoor area to hang out in! There were six of us in our group and there was plenty of space! Being Canadians it was quite hot with no AC, but there were plenty of fans to help keep the place cool! The location was great, close to the beach and must see sights. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Kona! Thank you Annie!

Beautiful home with refreshing pool

The house looks just like the pictures! This place is in a good, quiet location very close to the main highway and practically within walking distance to magic sands beach (great boogie boarding spot). The property has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and a cart available for beach excursions. There was an adaptation phase for us with the home not having Air conditioning, but cooling off in the pool and using fans to channel air through the house worked well. We had a wonderful time and spent several days in the house recuperating from big adventure days.

Great resort style pool and backyard!!

I was remiss in not checking if AC was available in this house. Due to the humidity in Kona, it took us a couple of days to get used to it. The many fans in the house helped, but it was the pool area that became our haven every day, after visiting many sites in Kona!!

Holidays at the Hale

My wife and I lived at Annie’s Hale for a month over the Christmas-New Year holidays and had a wonderful time. The Hale was very clean, smelled good and was well equipped. Lots of fans around the house and they were well used and kept us comfortable. Three nice sized bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us lots of room to spread out. Annie’s family business used to be hardscaping so there are lots of reminders throughout the house, from the extensive slate floors in the main rooms to the massaging pebble floor of the bedroom opening to the back yard. It was an adventure to explore. The real star of the property is the huge deck and swimming pool out back. It is an oasis of imaginative hardscaping and tropical plants. The pool is very clean, smell-free, and was ideal for wading with its gently sloped entry – perfect for small children. The water temperature in the deep end could be bracing, but we soon got used to that. We laughed as the local mynas, java sparrows, spotted and zebra doves, and saffron finches jostled for room to bathe and drink in the warm shallows. I also had a welcome visitor, a small 5” lizard, who would often perch on my toes to catch any flies foolish enough to harass me. He must have caught 8 or 10 while we were there. The geckos were also around and so fun to watch. Would we stay at Annie’s Hale again. Definitely, yes.

Charming ocean view home

We extended our stay in Kona last minute and had to find a place to stay for 3 nights. We were fortunate to find Annie's place and enjoyed staying there. The pool area is really lovely and the grandkids loved diving for coconuts in the pool! There is a pretty ocean view from the front porch. Annie is really accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to stay in a family neighborhood our last few days in Kona and feel more of a part of the community. Convenient location just a few minutes to Kona, shopping, beaches and Da Poke Shack!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Reece

Host profile image
Our parents, Mick and Annie, bought this house in 1991. My sister and I grew up in this home and we are incredibly grateful to be able to maintain it as a place that our family can always return to and a place that visitors can enjoy as well. Our mom, Annie, always said that if we weren’t able to be there enjoying the house, she liked to know that other families could be. She loved to hear the sound of people laughing, BBQing in the backyard and splashing in the pool. It has always been more than a house. We’ve called it home for 35 years.

Mom (Annie) kept the home as a primary residence for many years after my sister and I moved away and our dad passed. Years ago, she converted the garage into a downstairs apartment where she lived happily with her dog, Georgie, and her cat, Blanche. She rented the upstairs as a VRBO for many years, until her recent passing.

Our mom took great joy in being a part of the Kona experience for her guests. She enjoyed sharing her love for Kona and her aloha spirit, whether you were first time guests or lifelong friends, she treated you the same. Me and my sister, Aimee, hope to fill her shoes the best we can. We hope to make everyone feel like a welcomed guest in our beloved home and cultivate the love of Kona that our mom did for all those years. That is our mom’s legacy. We hope you love Annie’s Hale as much as we do ❤️

With aloha,

Sarah Reece

What makes this property unique

In the front yard you have beautiful, mature palm trees and lush landscaping. In the backyard, a saltwater pool with beach access entry, dining tables, lounge chairs, a BBQ and an outdoor shower.

The living, dining room and kitchen are open and airy, with slate floors, so don't worry about coming in wet from the pool!

Watch the waves from kitchen/breakfast bar and listen to the waves crash (on a high surf day) while you are sipping your coffee.
Whether it’s fun or relaxation that you’re looking for, Annie’s Hale has got you covered 🤙
