Exotic Kona Bay Hawaii Beachfront Tropical Paradise Stunning Home.
STVR-19-352032 NUC-19-651 Our stunning Hawaiian Paradise home is located just a few blocks from the waterfront village of Kona, Hawaii in a private gated community of luxury homes. With a nearly constant year around temperature in the 80s, and a cool ocean breeze, this custom Hawaiian home is as tropical as you can get. Overlooking the crashing waves on the lava and sandy beach coast, the home features a designer infinity pool with two waterfalls, a sandy bottom wading pool, huge lanais, and two courtyard ponds with their own waterfalls in a 'Jurassic' garden setting. There is even a private 'island' dining patio next to the waterfall overlooking the dramatic Kona surf. The house comes fully furnished with a designer dream kitchen, open air oceanfront dining room, kitchen bar, living room, entertainment room, an unbelievable Master Suite with panoramic ocean views, a pampered oceanview study, two Tropical Guest Suites, each with their own separate entrance and opening onto the lush courtyard and waterfalls, and a separate Family Cottage Suite with its own bar sink, microwave, coffee maker, sitting area and lanai. The master suite comes with its own private whale watching tower! The house sleeps eight, two in each suite plus futons for young children up to 10 years old.
'HALE KONA A'EKAI' is a unique oceanfront private custom home meaning 'the home by the wash of the sea'. It was intricately designed to capture the essence of waterfront Hawaiian living. Thatched ceilings, open walls, louvered teak windows, ten foot teak doors, endless lanais, and tropical landscaping, all help to capture the spirit of the islands. The house is exquisitely detailed with imported teak, bamboo, marble, granite, and quartzite throughout. The home has been featured in several magazines. The grounds are equally impressive with rare tropical flowers and palms, four waterfalls and a stunningly impressive bathing pool with an infinity edge. A stairway bridge takes you across to the island pedestal where you can lavish in a dinner surrounded by water with simultaneous views of the sunset, waterfalls and the crash of the waves! Enchanting, magical and romantic--there is so much more to describe---but you must see it for yourself! Unsurpassed luxury. Come stay with us and experience the mystique and beauty of the Big Island!
MAIN HOUSE LIVING AREA: Large open oceanfront living area includes:
KITCHEN: Teakwood and solid granite dream kitchen with all the appliances including separate beverage cooler, warming drawer (JennAire 2016)vegetable sink, double ovens, 4 burner stove with grill/griddle (JennAire 2016).
LIVING ROOM: Bamboo furniture adds to the tropical feel of the high ceiling open living area which extends out onto the Lanai. There is an area to sit and enjoy the ocean views and the infinity pool, a more private area to engage in conversation, and an entertainment area to enjoy the surround sounds of TV, stream a movie, enjoy the player, or relaxing music on our Bluetooth sound bar. DINING: Enjoy the sunset while sipping Mai Tais on the whale watch tower. Don't forget to look for the 'green flash!' Dine at the six seat bamboo dining table that borders the lanai with open air ocean views, sit for pupus (appetizers) at the granite bar, or take dinner out to one of the ocean side teak tables to enjoy the sound of the dramatic nearby surf while dining under the bright Kona stars. The experience is mystical!

A safe is located in the closet. Bath: Full tile and teak bath with vanity, tub, and shower.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a tropical home with open-air louvered windows. There is no need for air conditioning, as the nearly constant ocean trade winds fan a delightful gentle breeze from over the water during the day and from the mountains at night. You'll enjoy the natural tropical feeling!!!
SECURITY CAMERAS: The security camera is installed at the entrance gate and overlooks the front entrance and driveway. There are exterior perimeter cameras on both adjacent neighboring homes that may have a partial view of the outside property that is also clearly visible to the general public and where no reasonable expectation of privacy should be expected.
NOISE MONITORING: Noise-aware devices are located under the two tiki huts, with the repeater in the entry. This device only monitors the level of DB and does not record any sound.

Aloha,
Thank you for staying with us! We very much enjoyed meeting you and your guests and look forward to having you again in the future!
Warmly,
Sheree
This home is absolutely fantastic!! We had a ton of space for 8 adults and everyone had a great time. The pool and ocean views are incredible. Great communication with our host! I would highly recommend this property to everyone!! Thanks Sheree.
Overall a great house and wonderful experience. Especially like the pool. Appliances are a little dated and the grill was sketchy. Highly recommend .

Aloha Deanna,
Thank you for staying with us again. We are happy that you had a “wonderful experience.” We hope to have you return for a third visit, and thank you for highly recommending our home to others!
While it is magical to have the home directly on the ocean, there is a small tradeoff. The appliances bear the brunt of the corrosive salt air. As a result, we have the appliances professionally checked bi-monthly and replace them on a rotating basis to keep them fully operational and attractive. Occasionally, there may be a corrosive blemish, but we can assure you that they are all current, updated models. All of them are switched out with new ones every 3-5 years to keep them attractive. We will double-check to see if any are approaching that time. We were delighted you noticed the kitchen upgrades upon your arrival!
We strive to provide our guests with a pristine luxury experience with every detail addressed. Thank you for your review! We look forward to your next visit!
Beautiful, stunning home. We were a group of 8 and everybody had more than enough space. It is completely open, which took a little bit of getting used to the first couple of nights, but the neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. We also had to adjust to sharing the home with a few bugs, lizards, and sleeping with fans. But being right on the ocean was more than worth it. The ocean breeze and the rain made our stay very comfortable. Definitely an amazing Hawaiian experience.
During an exceptionally cold winter, it was heaven to spend a wonderful week basking poolside in the warm breezes watching the whales and boats go by. The house is beautiful and nicely outfitted, very open with the feel of Hawaii throughout. But for me it was all about the view!
Beautiful, wonderful, clean, spacious, all that we hoped for. Bath tub in accommodations above garage needs a mat - very slippery, slipped instantly and hit ribs on side of tub. Hurt for whole trip but still enjoyed stay very much. Would come back anytime. Get a mat please!! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

Aloha Tina,
Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall. We're sorry to hear about the concern regarding the bath mat. We did have a bath mat in the bathroom, but we understand how this could have been unclear or overlooked. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll make sure to double-check all our amenities for future guests. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Amazing property. Tremendous view of the ocean just across the property fence. Spectacular sunset every night. Stocked better with amenities and accessories than any other Vrbo I have in which I have stayed. The pool was perfect, overlooking the ocean and an integral part of the house.
Great location and lovely house! We felt like we were walking into paradise and we had a great week. The pool and view were perfect for our family. Being able to walk a short way to a perfect beach as well as the short drive into town really made things stress free. The bedroom areas are roomy and private. The kitchen is very well stocked. The stove/oven and microwave definetly could use an update as well as having to light the BBQ with a lighter but we were able to have great family meals. Any questions or concerns we had were handled quickly and so pleasantly. We appreciated the many quality pool towels as well as chairs and 'toys' we could use in the pool and take to the beach. This was a splurge vacation for our family and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the sunsets daily.
We booked a stay at this special listing for our family vacation with our adult children and their spouses. Each felt the property was a highlight of our trip. Coffee in the morning by the pool overlooking the oceanfront was a favorite of everyone. The pool and lounging was wonderful. The open air environment was great. Be sure to use the fans at night for extra airflow. Kitchen was well stocked. And the tour of the property at Check-in was very helpful. Also the property is located in a gated housing division with 24-hour surveillance for extra security. It is a very special place and we would stay again. It really was so much better than the photos.
This felt like a mini compound for our family of 8. Amazing views and a super luxurious and comfortable place to live for a week. The master bedroom and shower were amazing. Close drive to organic grocery store and restaurants. Lava beach out front and short walk to sand beach.
We had an amazing stay at this property. Exceeded our expectations from the pictures online. We loved being able to hang out in the several lounging spots at the house, being able to walk the beach and tidepools directly in front of the home and easily walk to town. We didn't feel like we needed to leave the property it was so great. Mei, the property manager helped us immediately and gave recommendations. We would absolutely book again.
This property had it all. Amazing views, quiet, great neighborhood and right on the ocean. Customer service was top notch and the best nights sleep you’ll ever get. 10/10 highly recommend
It was everything we hoped for and more! It's a house on the ocean so there isn't much more to say..I read some of the other reviews and let me say that we experienced the same feel of home away from home as others! We were meet on arrival and given a quick tour, which was great! Then we just unpacked and relaxed after that! Worth every cent!
This was the nicest VRBO location I’ve ever stayed in. The unique layout combined with the spectacular view gave my entire extended family the vacation of a lifetime. There were six adults and five kids and everyone had something to do. The pool was a hit, the outdoor space was perfect for everyone and the accommodations were great for each family. The wow factor of this property is like no other, but once you settle in, the amenities make it feel like home. Everything was well organized, fully stocked and Sheree was extremely communicative. If we can, we will be back someday!
Great location, beautiful home. Ample room for our 3 families. Mae our hostess was outstanding. Description of property was accurate but room for improvements. House needs AC, fans and ocean breeze is not nearly enough. The waterfalls are all on timers that are controlled by the owner which is fine but they don’t run long enough, especially the ones in the courtyard…those should run throughout the night so that the back rooms can enjoy them while they’re sleeping. Kitchen oven and stove need to be replaced. We couldn’t get the bottom oven to work and not all burners work on the stove. Kitchen pantry needs to be cleaned out, there are items in there that have been expired for years. Overall we had a great time, but how could we not. We were in Hawaii after all!

Aloha Mark,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled that you had a "great time" and that Mae, our property manager, provided "outstanding" care during your stay. Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously strive to enhance our guest experience.
Our tropical beachfront home is designed for the essence of elegant Hawaiian living, blending indoor/outdoor spaces. The soothing sounds of the ocean, our four waterfalls, and the calls of birds create an open-air ambiance that many of our guests adore. This experience sets our property apart from typical enclosed homes found elsewhere, where artificial noise and temperature fluctuations can detract from the natural beauty. The scent of salt air and tropical flora fills our home, creating a truly relaxing paradise, reminiscent of Jack London's description of Kona as "every day is a paradise of days... It's always just right."
While we appreciated your communication during your stay, your review was the first indication of any issues. Mei quickly checked and confirmed that all appliances were functioning properly, as two other families enjoyed the home without complaints. However, we did find broken furniture and glass shards upon your departure, which concerned us. Please know that we take all feedback seriously, and we are committed to providing the finest Hawaiian experience for our guests, helping them create lasting memories in this special place.
Mahalo!
