Fantastic property and location to explore the big island.

It’s a wonderful home on the shore just north of downtown Kona. The location is ideal to go explore the big island. I highly recommend the home and the hosts were awesome.

Great property and responsive owners!

We had such a wonderful time on the Big Island and this house was perfect for our family. We had a couple routine maintenance issues while we were there and they were so responsive; it was fixed within a couple hours. I highly recommend this property. We’d love to come back!

Family Getaway

Great location. Beautiful home. Wonderful private setting right on the ocean yet easy access to town. Quiet and clean neighborhood. The owners were quick to respond to inquiries and were very accommodating in working around our arrival and departure schedules. Perfect house for large families or to share with two small groups. Would stay here again.

Trip of a lifetime!

We were fortunate to stay here again for the second time and I have to say we were still in awe as this home is so beautiful! The sunsets in the Crows Nest are postcard perfect! The home has so much space yet keeps everyone connected in the large living room and kitchen. We enjoyed the pool everyday and eating outside with the family! The pictures just don’t do this home justice!! So beautiful! Thank you again to the Moore’s for sharing your home with us! Mahalo!!!

Girls Trip

Girls trip with my sister and two nieces (celebrating my niece being in remission from AML Leukemia). The view is amazing as soon as you open the door. We enjoyed the walking path right behind the house that leads to the beach and the swimming pool every day. It was great that every bedroom had an air conditioning unit to use at night if we needed it. The house was a short drive to the shops in Kona and the grocery store. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. It was a vacation full of amazing memories.

Beautiful Kona Oceanfront Dream Home

I can’t tell you how impressed and breathtaking this Kona home was for my boyfriend and I when we arrived for my mom’s Celebration of Life service. The home was actually so much better than the pictures and was well stocked with excellent instructions in the Kona Sunset binder. Thanks to Jennifer and Makayla for providing clear notes and available if needed. We still feel the trade winds and visions of beautiful ocean with waves crashing on the lava rocks. Mahalo nui loa!

Panoramic views

Our family of four adults had a wonderful stay in this lovely, well stocked, well equipped oceanfront home. Outstanding panoramic views from crows nest, our favorite hangout spot, and the master! There’s a seaside trail connecting this home the Old Airport Beach (sunset views, rocky coast, public facilities) with Big Island Yoga classes and garden fitness trail. The other direction leads to a small protected beach to take a dip or view small tropical fish (no mask needed). Although not busy, be aware people walk on the rock wall a foot from the pool fence and that puts you at eye level with passers by on the first floor living room. We didn’t mind and felt very safe as the area has security cameras and is patrolled. We did have some little maintenance issues (the clothing line fell and a towel holder came apart during our stay), but they were fixed the next day. We’d definitely consider returning to this home for our next Big Island visit.

Pictures cannot describe how beautiful this place is! You never want to leave. There are at least 5 spots that compete for becoming your favorite one: overlooking the whole area in the crow's nest, sitting on chairs in the ankle deep section of the pool, sitting at the bar outside overlooking the pool area and ocean, reading on the cushioned lawn chairs on the patio in the shade, sitting on the sofas with the pocket doors wide open, etc. In short: the perfect vacation home. Very nicely decorated with art. You feel at home immediately.The three bedrooms each have their own, very quiet, split air conditioning. Each bedroom has its own, spacious bathroom.It's located in a very safe area. All attractions of the island can be reached conveniently and it's only a short run to Target, Costco, restaurants, and the town.The beautiful, sandy beach, Hapuna Beach, is less than half hour away. There is also a little beach in walking distance where you can get into the ocean.It's about a 2 hour drive to the volcano.Swimming with manta rays is close by.

Wonderful Spot

We've stayed in many vacation rentals, but this one stands out. The open-air living room is amazing, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the stunning natural surroundings. It allows the breeze to pass though and is a perfect view for sunset.The view from the crows nest is second to none. Arguably the best sunset viewing of the entire neighborhood.The location is another huge plus. Being near the end of a gated community means peace and quiet with very few passing cars. It also puts you in the perfect spot to explore. We loved that we were just a 5 to 10 minute walk to the kid-friendly Queen's Bath beach or to Old Airport Beach (Kailua). This is a truly special place, and we can't wait to come back!

Fantastic Kona Home

We had a great stay at this home. Perfect location that's right on the water, but also within walking distance of several restaurants and stores. Our 4yo daughter loved the keiki beach that's just a short walk south along the community rock wall. House was clean and exceptionally well-stocked. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

A stay to remember!

We were thoroughly impressed with the home, the property, the views, the cleanliness, decor details, etc. The home is beautiful and you can tell a lot of care went into making it this way! The beach on the property was heavenly for the kids and gorgeous to enjoy for adults too. Pool was a nice treat. Crows nest and sunsets... oh goodness, incredible! The coast views and the sound of the waves was amazing. The owner was very responsive and helpful! We appreciated the beach equipment in the garage. The kitchen had everything you could ask for plus some! Beds are very comfy and AC in the rooms is really nice. Our group was 5 adults and 3 kids (11, 7). Everyone had plenty of room and entertainment. This stay will be a lifetime memory for sure! Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Moore

Host profile image
Ken and Jennifer Moore, Canadians with two children and married 30 years, bought the Kona Sunset Beach House in 2010. After extensive renovations to make it their dream home, they are excited to share it with others.



Ken has a medical engineering company and Jennifer is a Dentist. They love the big island and all that it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Kona Bay Estates is a very special area. Exclusive, with security, there is no better location on the big island. You are within walking distance to Kona's main tourist strip, yet on the edge of town for easy access to the freeway and beaches to the north. If you don't want to go anywhere there are plenty of activities, from tennis to beach, right in the community.
