4 BDRs with their own baths! Modern decor! Privacy! Best Ocean View in the Hood!
Imagine relaxing in your very own pool, listening to the quiet hum of the distant surf, watching the perfect sunset. All that and more can be enjoyed in HALE KEANI ('House of Gentle Breezes')--a gorgeous modern home in a private, gated community.
Welcome to Keahou Estates, a private and gated subdivision at an elevation of 518 feet above the beautiful south Kona coastline, where the surf’s whisper greets you upon wakening and lullabies you to sleep at night. We are just around the corner from several restaurants, a grocery and a drug store, plus a movie theater; the snorkel beach is only 2 miles down the road; and downtown Kona is a short and scenic ten-minute drive. Our home is nestled in the preferred south end of the neighborhood--well away from the sounds of traffic on the main roads--and near the end of a cul-de-sac. You'll find lush landscaping on either side for maximum privacy—you won’t even know you have neighbors! We sit well above the houses below, so much so that we can easily boast the best (and dare we say the most romantic) sunset view in the entire neighborhood.
Our home is in like-new condition and professionally decorated. You are going to love the modern furnishings, the travertine flooring throughout, as well as our new 77” LG OLED TV and state of the art surround sound system in the Great Room! Each of the four bedrooms has its own marble-tiled, full bathroom, as well as its own flat screen television, and private lanai. The master bedroom has even more: it’s own 77” LG OLED TV, a whirlpool tub, and an outdoor shower garden. We guarantee that after enjoying a shower in our new outdoor tropical shower garden, you will find it hard to ever shower indoors again! Granite countertops and custom cabinets line the open kitchen, which would make any chef happy with its Jenn-Air gas range and Dacor double oven and microwave. For casual dining, four wicker bar stools pull up to the over-sized kitchen island. The distressed teakwood dining table (one of a kind from Indonesia) seats eight. As for the living room, relax in comfort as you enjoy the entertainment of the High Definition TV with DVD and surround-sound speakers. Finally, don’t miss the vaulted ceilings that span the entire living space! Open the sliding screen doors and let the outside in: ours is truly a floor plan that takes advantage of the island breezes.
Because let’s not forget that you’re in Hawaii; you’re going to want to spend most of your time outdoors. Feel free to laze away your days in the infinity pool with its waterfall feature. We’ve got lounge chairs for tanning, cushioned chairs for reading and/or conversation, and Adirondacks for whale-watching--or just daydreaming (coffee, anyone?)! Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying all your meals in our Bali-inspired, covered outdoor dining area--fully equipped with a gas grill for outdoor cooking, stainless steel sink, Frigidaire refrigerator, flat screen TV, and cocktail bar. Gather ‘round the antique wagon-wheel table from Bali for pupus every night at 6pm sharp: once you’ve experienced our gorgeous sunset, you’ll never want to leave this private island getaway.

Katie's home was the perfect Kona stay for us. Incredibly spacious, well appointed, comfortable and wonderful location. The kitchen is especially well appointed. We had an amazing time
Amazing property! The most incredible view. This home has everything and the communication is exceptional. Our family had a wonderful vacation and we will be back!!
This house was a dream vacation home. It has all of the amenities for a relaxing family vacation and you cannot get enough of the view and sunsets. If you go out for a day of exploring, you cannot wait to get back to the house to enjoy the pool and a family meal. The kitchen is fully stocked and is nice and spacious. The host, Katie, is always available and shares all of the information you might need during your stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay here and make some wonderful family memories!
Best location in Kona. Right where you want to be. Amazing view. Nice breeze up on the hill. 10 min out of town so you avoid the traffic. Wouldn’t change a thing. Loved every minute of our trip.
Gorgeous home with gorgeous views! Perfect for our family vacation, and we could not have been happier. Our hosts were so kind, and we are grateful for all of their beach/restaurant/activity suggestions. Thank you so much!
We had such a good time. We came from 4 states to spend family time together. Katie is the best of hosts. The home was just right for us. The best part-each family had their own bed/bathroom.
The place was terrific with an amazing view and a relaxing pool. I would recommend this place for any large group. There is room for everyone. I would rent this house again.
The house and property are gorgeous and we would love to be able to stay here again! The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were perfect for our group. The pool was amazing and the sunsets from the pool deck were mesmerizing! Location was perfect for our group as we love the quietness of the neighborhood and house and the proximity to the beaches and downtown Kona were exactly how we like to vacation!!
This property is exactly as shown in the photos. Beautifully decorated, thoughtfully designed and well supplied with everything you'd need to feel at home. Views are breathtaking. A wonderful place to stay on the Big Island.
Great property! We paid for air condition, which we needed, however, it had a timer, so we had some times
of being hot, but it was always comfortable at night,

Our air-conditioning system is on a schedule, which is set to maximize comfort for our guests, but it CAN be manually adjusted at any time to adapt to individual comfort levels.
This place was beautiful. All bedrooms having their own bathrooms was a huge plus too. The manager was always super responsive with any questions we might have. I think I could have never left the property and enjoyed my vacation thoroughly. Already miss waking up to that view!
This is a beautiful property! The view is awesome!! Beds are comfortable, the air conditioning works great, and there’s plenty of relaxing or eating space for a group or family! The player piano was fun, too! The pool is lovely. We had a great vacation here and would be happy to stay here again!
This was an amazing property! Beautiful home, so comfortable, spectacular views! Centrally located to the north island and South Island. Just a perfect spot! You will love this property!
It was as advertised- beautiful ocean view, lovely landscaping that gave great privacy, high end finishes, decorated with island art and comfortable furnishings and beds. Well equipped kitchen made family breakfasts easy to make. Our family had a great time - especially enjoyed the pool! Thank you for enriching our stay.
Amazing place. Like others have said, photos don’t do it justice. Absolute paradise.
We had seven people and everyone was so happy and comfortable. It’s pretty central to everything and very close to everything you need. I can’t say enough about this beautiful homes. Made for the perfect vacation.
Outstanding home, as advertised in an upscale neighborhood. Everything was totally as you would expect. Owner and property manager were very reachable and helpful.
This house was wonderful for our group of seven. Plenty of privacy too with each bedroom having an attached bathroom. The real showstopper is the pool area with the most amazing views of the ocean. Everything went smoothly from communication with the owner to getting checked in at the guard house.One thing future renters may want to know is there is an outdoor cat that the owners are feeding. It wasn't really an issue except one night when we tried eating outside and the cat wouldn't leave us alone. It made a few people uncomfortable. Other than that, the house was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for having us!

We are very happy to hear that you had a 5 Star stay at Hale Keani. With regard to a cat, years ago we made a humane decision to feed an abandon kitten. She lives outside and is afraid of her own shadow. There are other feral cats that sometime roam at night and a simple “shoo” would have send any cat scrambling.
About the host
Hosted by Kathleen
We met 45 years ago at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. Each of us grew up in suburban Chicago--we both come from families of seven kids! We have three children of our own whom we are very proud of. Together, we enjoy golfing, hiking, fishing, red wine, and watching the sunsets. We don't think we will ever get tired of spotting a whale breaching.
Why they chose this property
Our first visit to Hawaii was on our honeymoon in 1985. We returned for our 10th, and then again for our 15th anniversary, and we have been coming back to the Big Island to enjoy mini-honeymoons every year since. We've enjoyed Spring Break here with our children many times as well. We just love the Big Island for its beautiful weather and casual vibe.
What makes this property unique
Over the years, we have visited many homes on the Big Island. The first time we walked into this home, we knew it was the perfect one for us. Ocean views, and especially sunsets, are very important to us. Of all the houses we had seen, this was the only one that truly offered an unobstructed view of the ocean. Not a single rooftop blocks the view!
The house is the perfect size for our family: a master bedroom suite for us, and 3 other bedrooms, one for each of our grown children. And since each bedroom has its own beautiful bathroom, everybody gets their privacy! We know that as our family inevitably expands, there will be plenty of room for spouses and grandchildren.
