Perfectly located getaway just above historical Kealakekua Bay, ranked as #11 by CNN as the world's best-snorkeling destinations and #1 among the Hawaii islands. Yet close to Kona in a beautiful and quiet area with the old Hawaiian feeling. Just minutes away from beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, supermarket, cafes, banks, hospital and more. It is situated in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.

The airport is 6 miles north of Kailua-Kona. Our house is perfectly located 14 miles south of Kailua-Kona. As a reference, Kona Paradise which may save you a few dollars is another 12 miles or a 25-minute drive south of our house further away from Kailua-Kona.

Our newly built LUXURY house has 2300 sq. ft. (215 sq. m.) living area including a covered lanai and is super comfortable with everything you can possibly need including a hot tub on the lanai and breathtaking 180-degree view of the ocean and the mountain.
Half of the 2300 sq. ft. living space consists of a covered lanai, great for enjoying your morning espresso while watching the sun climbing over the mountain top, or watch the sunset over the ocean. At night you will be amazed by our spacious 6-person hot tub on the lanai while gazing the stars. With a fantastic 180-degree view of the mountain and the ocean, from Kealakekua Bay to Honaunau Bay, you can sit for hours just relaxing in our luxury patio chaise loungers.

The beautiful fully equipped kitchen and living room are all in one and have a great espresso machine, microwave oven, regular oven, dishwasher, large Weber outdoor grill on the lanai and beautiful quartz-stone countertops.
You can cook in the kitchen and watch the 65-inch 4K TV in the living room at the same time or have a drink and a snack at the kitchen island that seats 4, while you are watching the chef preparing your food. Enjoy your dinner on the lanai at our big dinner table which seats up to eight.

The top floor has 2 bedrooms with attached bathrooms and walk-in closets. The unit sleeps 4 people (1 King and 2 Twin beds which can be put together), and there is a possibility to put in one extra folding bed with memory foam mattress (perfect for children or a small adult). The living room has a 65 inch TV and a luxury sofa. Cable TV with many channels and Netflix are included.

When you wake up in your bed in the morning, open your eyes, look out through the big sliders and be swept away by the amazing ocean view. At 1100 ft. the temperature is just perfect, 80 degrees during the day and 70 degrees at night. You sleep great at this elevation without air conditioning.

Our house is perfectly located in a beautiful neighborhood with an easy driveway and plenty of parking. Just minutes away from shopping and the best breakfast place on the island, The Coffee Shack.

Your first day, you are most likely heading down to Kealakekua Bay, to snorkel, watch wild spinner dolphins in the morning or kayaking. Either way, it’s a convenient 12-minute drive. Your second day, you may want to go south for 20 minutes and visit the sandy and most private beach of Hookena, one of the gems when it comes to beaches in the area, with great swimming and sometimes plenty of wild dolphins. The third day another gem is Honaunau National Historical Park (10 minutes drive). One of the evenings, you can drive 10 minutes north for fine dining at Keei Café, or just have great food at Annie's Burger, or continue another 10 minutes north for all the choices Kailua-Kona has to offer.

Our house is a great base for exploring the Island. We love to go around the Island for a long day, or if you haven’t done it before, stay a night in Hilo to have some more time exploring the area. Driving around the Island in one day, starting at 6 AM, will allow time for a visit to the Volcano, lunch in Hilo, driving the amazing 4-Mile Scenic Drive through the rain forest, experiencing Akaka Falls just before sunset and then coming back through Waimea and Kona around 8 PM. Adding another day will make time for a visit to Hilo Zoo, it’s a blast for the children, and watch the lava flow at night.
We always love to come back to the peace and calmness of our neighborhood and the house after a long day on the road. Going north of Kona to the resorts is an easy 45-minute drive and will be fun for a day. Hilton Waikoloa is well worth a visit just to get the feeling of how nice it is to be back at the house! There are several great beaches up north as well. The largest sandy beach on the island is Hapuna Beach Park (50-minute drive up north).

Absolutely beautiful home with amazing view of ocean. Excellent communication from hosts, quick response with any questions we had. Jacuzzi was the cherry on top after a long day of exploring the island. The only suggestion I have is to invest in AC in home as it was extremely hot and humid inside home when we arrived, which was pretty unpleasant. Otherwise, exceptional stay! Would definitely stay again!

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for our 38th anniversary. The home was peaceful and away from the tourists. We especially enjoyed the lanai with the hot tub, views, grill and dining table. Other amenities that made our stay better were the washer/dryer, beach gear, and the espresso machine (beans from Kona Joes). We would recommend this lovely home to anyone wanting a peaceful experience with top notch amenities.

We had an amazing time staying in this beautiful home. The Lanai had the most stunning view and waking up every morning was just incredible. The house was comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We were in a good location to many beaches, local restaurants and cafes. It is about an hours drive to big, long white sandy beaches but definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this lovely home! (Make sure you read all the house rules as no noise allowed after 8pm on the Lanai)

Beautiful home overlooking the ocean in a quiet neighborhood. Good communication with the owners. The kitchen was well- equipped for home cooked meals during our trip. There were neighbors downstairs; but you hardly knew they were there. Check in/ out was a breeze. Thank you for having us!

We loved our stay at the Whale House. The lanai space was spectacular. While we we didn't spend much time inside other than for sleeping, the rental had everything we needed for a lovely vacation.

Amazing outdoor living space with spacious open lanai, very comfortable furniture, kitchen was well stocked with quality supplies. The house was extremely well appointed. The notes around the house were very helpful. The young lady living below was very helpful (especially during the brief power outage). We hardly knew that anyone was living in the lower level.

I don’t think we could have found a better location. Magnificent unobstructed view from the huge lanai all the way down to the ocean. Makes you want to stay year round. Owners give a thoroughly detailed set of instructions on how to use the spa/hot tub, espresso maker and other amenities. My wife and kids celebrated our 35th anniversary in a perfect location. We will remember this trip always. See you next year!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house, especially the peaceful view across the Kona coffee fields down to the ocean. The photos and descriptions in the listing are exactly on-point for this gorgeous place. Communication with the hosts was especially quick and easy. The thing I enjoyed most was that this house has personality -- it's not a generic rental, but a place created by the owners and filled with things they love. 10/10, I wouldn't change a thing.
