About this property
Dolphin Manor: Stunning Oceanfront Home w/Pool, Spa, A/C, Private Lanai
Perched directly on the lava-rock shoreline of Kailua-Kona, Dolphin Manor offers a front-row seat to the Pacific’s ever-changing beauty. This two-story, 3,667-square-foot oceanfront estate combines refined comfort with a walkable location just steps from downtown Kona and Honl’s Beach. With panoramic views, a private pool and spa, and sleeping space for up to 18 guests, it’s ideal for multigenerational escapes, milestone celebrations, or gathering friends in one
unforgettable setting.
What You’ll Love About Dolphin Manor
* Oceanfront luxury estate with daily dolphin sightings
* Private pool, spa, BBQ area, and wrap-around lanai with endless views
* Five ensuite bedrooms, each with lanai access, A/C, and TV
* Multiple living spaces including media room and office
* Walkable to downtown Kona dining, shops, and Honl’s Beach
Living & Dining
A grand, gated entry leads into sun-filled interiors framed by vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors to the sea. Two oceanview living rooms offer plush seating and coastal breezes, while the media room provides a cozy, air-conditioned retreat for movie nights. The dining area, set beside large windows, seats eight comfortably, with additional spots at the breakfast bar.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
A fully renovated kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, wine fridge, and granite counters. Ocean views from the sink and prep spaces turn cooking into a pleasure, whether you’re brewing Kona coffee or preparing a fresh island feast.
Outdoor Oasis
Step onto the wrap-around lanai and breathe in the salt air. Lounge by the pool and spa, fire up the BBQ for an alfresco dinner, or watch spinner dolphins and wintertime whales from your private oceanfront perch. Lava outcroppings in front of the home add drama to the endless blue horizon.
