About this house rental

NOTE: NO BACK-TO-BACK BOOKING! There needs to be 24 hours between bookings to ensure proper cleaning. Please make sure your check-in or check-out date does not coincide with an existing check-out or check-in date from another booking.

When you walk through the front door, the Ocean view is breathtaking! Unobstructed ocean views from every room in the house! Our expansive resort style home is only 500 feet from the ocean, on a gentle slope, with 180 degree ocean views, and sunset views every day of the year! Five specious bedrooms all have balconies with an ocean view, and each room can be entered privately. The large, covered lanai provides a stunning open view from the house facing the ocean, with mahogany floors flowing from inside to outside seamlessly through 38 ft pocket sliders.

The house is a gem with its huge size, great location and top amenities. It is superbly spacious, with 4331 sq.ft plus 2000 sq. ft. of covered lanais. It is equipped with everything you can think of for a luxury vacation home, including a gourmet kitchen with professional Viking appliances and kitchen supplies, huge family room and recreation room equipped with ping-pong, pool table, foosball…, and wi-fi everywhere in the house!

Another not-to-miss feature: we have a most beautiful Koa king bed in the master suite, handcrafted by Hawaii local craftsmen. It is a work of art, and so solidly built to provide comfort and soulful companionship to our guests.

The main floor has three bedrooms, along with the great room and kitchen. The ground floor has two more bedrooms, along with the recreation room. There are two full baths and a half bath on the main, and two full baths and a half bath on the ground level. The main floor goes out to the covered lanai with outdoor grill and dining, sitting area, which further goes out to the infinity pool and spa area. The ground floor opens to a lower lanai and a large lawn, also facing the ocean, with another outdoor sitting area. The large lawn is great for light sports, and playtime with the kids.

The house is located in a private gated development. It is so serene that all you hear are the ocean waves and birds singing. It is only 4 miles from Spencer Beach, and just 10 minutes drive to Hapuna Beach State Park, one of the top white sand beaches in the world! Three minutes south of the house is the quaint, historic town of Kawaihae. There you will find restaurants, a fresh fish market, fruit, vegetable and flower market, a dive shop and catamaran cruises. It's a 20 minute drive up to the beautiful ranch town of Waimea, and 40 minutes to the airport and Kona. With only 10 minutes to Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince Resorts, you can easily access the many resort shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis facilities.

With its deep ocean pockets, right in front of out house is about the best place on the island for whale watching. Dive boats anchor in front of the house, which is one of the favorite dive spots on the Kohala Coast. Many of our guests say it is the best snorkeling they have ever had. On the 4th of July and New Years Eve you can watch the fireworks on our lanai. And with the special location of the house, we have gorgeous and unique sunsets each night, 365 days a year.

There are many activities nearby including golf, tennis, diving, sailing, fishing, zip-lining, hiking, surfing and more. But, you may want to relax at the house and sip mai tais by the pool, play bocce ball on the lawn, have a sunset drink on the large lanai overlooking the ocean and have a BBQ on the biggest built-in viking grill you have ever seen.

The house is perfect for special celebrations, family reunions, and a couple’s retreat. It is also a great training spot for the Ironman triathalon in October. There are two beautiful outdoor showers which are convenient for rinsing off sand and dirt after a day's beach outing or biking/boating. The whole house is decorated in a Hawaiian/Indonesian resort style. Many rich hardwoods and natural materials have been used. The infinity edge pool looks like it flows into the ocean, there are lounge chairs on quartzite stone pool deck and on the lower lanai beside the lawn. The whole feel of the house is serene, open and expansive.

So if you are looking for a dream vacation home for a special celebration, vacation or reunion, this one is a gem that is hard to come by. Superb location at the gated Kohala Waterfront, on one acre of private, landscaped gardens 500 feet from the Ocean. Spectacular ocean views, beautiful house, top amenities, privacy and serenity, easy access to tourist activities without the hassle and bustle of the tourist crowds at a resort. What’s more, the whales come in so close they sound like they're playing in the swimming pool during whale season, and you see sunsets all year round. Minutes drive to the best beaches (Mauna Kea and Hapuna) on the whole island. Resort amenities, restaurants, diving, snorkeling, tennis, golf and much more.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. The home and property are perfect. We couldn’t have picked a better property. Owners (Julie and Tim) were great to work with and so was the property manager, Dani. If you are looking for paradise, look no further!

I am alway a bit nervous when I rent a property sight unseen. Rarely do pictures portray accurately. My entire family was pleasantly surprised, from the initial peek from the road, to the stunning environment inside this home. Decor was very classic with appreciation of art displayed all around. This home was perfect for our very special celebration. We hired a recommended personal chef to shop before we arrived. Not having to stress over the time it takes to get here or there finding groceries was a vacation life saver!! The food she cooked for our big dinner was beautifully prepared and presented with delicious Hawaiin overtones. I highly recommend this splurge for something as epic as a 50th! The kids especially loved the infinity pool and most house -provided snorkels worked great for our needs. Lots of private spaces available to chill plus an amazing game room for kids and adults. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for sharing this gem with us. Truly exceptional!

The property was beautiful. There was enough room for all 10 of us to have our own space. The view from the deck was beautiful. We could see dolphins jumping in the ocean. None of us wanted to leave at the end of our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

A beautiful, comfortable and spacious home with a fabulous ocean view. This home was furnished nicely and the kitchen has everything you will ever need. Plenty of room for the eight of us. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the game room was a hit with the younger adults. While the home is about 45 minutes from the Kona airport, it was a perfect central location for all our activities. Will come again.

The house and its interior are very accurately pictured on the VRBO site. The decor and accommodations were exceptional. Each room's appointments were reflective of the island and Hawaiian culture. We spent each morning and evening on the veranda enjoying the view out over the water. The house created a very positive memory for each of us.

Beautiful home with sweeping views of the ocean. Grateful we stayed there during peak whale watching season. The rooms are spread out, giving privacy to all the guests. The host was very friendly and responsive. I definitely recommend staying there if you have the opportunity!
