About this property

Exotic Kona Bay Hawaii Beachfront Tropical Paradise Stunning Home.

STVR-19-352032
Our stunning Hawaiian Paradise home is located just a few blocks from the waterfront village of Kona, Hawaii in a private gated community of luxury homes. With a nearly constant year around temperature in the 80s, and a cool ocean breeze, this custom Hawaiian home is as tropical as you can get. Overlooking the crashing waves on the lava and sandy beach coast, the home features a designer infinity pool with two waterfalls, a wading pool, huge lanais, and two courtyard ponds with their own waterfalls in a 'Jurassic' garden setting. There is even a private 'island' dining patio next to the waterfall overlooking the dramatic Kona surf. The house comes fully furnished with a designer dream kitchen, open-air oceanfront dining room, kitchen bar, living room, entertainment room, an unbelievable Master Suite with panoramic ocean views, a pampered oceanview study, two Tropical Guest Suites, each with their own separate entrance and opening onto the lush courtyard and waterfalls, and a separate Family Cottage Suite with its own bar sink, microwave, coffee maker, sitting area, and lanai. The master suite comes with its own private whale-watching tower! The house sleeps eight, two in each suite plus futons for young children up to 10 years old.

'HALE KONA A'EKAI' is a unique oceanfront private custom home meaning 'the home by the wash of the sea'. It was intricately designed to capture the essence of waterfront Hawaiian living. Thatched ceilings, open walls, louvered teak windows, ten-foot teak doors, endless lanais, and tropical landscaping all help to capture the spirit of the islands. The house features exquisite detailing with imported teak, bamboo, marble, granite, and quartzite throughout. The home has been featured in several magazines. The grounds are equally impressive with rare tropical flowers and palms, four waterfalls, and a stunningly impressive bathing pool with an infinity edge. A stairway bridge takes you across to the island pedestal where you can lavish in a dinner surrounded by water with simultaneous views of the sunset, waterfalls, and the crash of the waves! Enchanting, magical, and romantic--there is so much more to describe---but you must see it for yourself! Unsurpassed luxury. Come stay with us and experience the mystique and beauty of the Big Island!

MAIN HOUSE LIVING AREA: Large open oceanfront living area includes:

KITCHEN: Teakwood and solid granite dream kitchen with all the appliances, including a separate beverage cooler, warming drawer (JennAire 2016), vegetable sink, double ovens, and a 6-burner stove (JennAire 2016).

LIVING ROOM: Bamboo furniture adds to the tropical feel of the high-ceilinged open living area, which extends out onto the Lanai. There is an area to sit and enjoy the ocean views and the infinity pool, a more private area for conversation, and an entertainment area to enjoy the TV, stream a movie, use the player, or listen to relaxing music on our Bluetooth sound bar.
DINING: Enjoy the sunset while sipping Mai Tais on the whale watch tower. Don't forget to look for the 'green flash!' Dine at the six-seat bamboo dining table that borders the lanai with open-air ocean views, sit for pupus (appetizers) at the granite bar, or take dinner out to one of the ocean-side teak tables to enjoy the sound of the dramatic nearby surf while dining under the bright Kona stars. The experience is mystical!

SUITES OF THE HOUSE:

OCEANFRONT MASTER SUITE:(sleeps 2+ in sheer luxury!)
Stunning oceanfront views from all rooms include: Master Suite: Entire spacious second floor with private outside entry, wraparound lanais, private sitting area overlooking pool and surf, private sitting area overlooking lush gardens, private whale watch tower. The Master Suite is truly spectacular!
Master Bedroom: King-size handmade Bali-style coconut bed with tropical netting and grass roof overlooking the ocean. Sleep to the gentle sound of the Kona surf! Master Study: Teak desk, printer, teak and leather lounge chairs w/TV, wet bar & mini refrigerator. Scenic ocean views! Master Bath: Exquisite marble throughout w/tropical private outdoor shower, double vanities, teak makeup vanity, separate water closet, and Jacuzzi spa overlooking the crashing surf. Whale Watch Tower: Private nautical spiral stairs take you to a spectacular panoramic lookout of the picturesque Kona Coastline, the waterfront village, and the inland volcanoes.

TWO GUEST SUITES: (sleeps 2 in each suite, 4+ Total) Tropical gardens and waterfall views include: Guest Suites: One separate building with two separate outside private entrances. Makai Bedroom: Banana leaf thatched ceiling with lanai overlooking the tropical gardens and waterfalls. Queen-size hand-carved teak poster bed with tropical netting, separate sink in-room vanity, closet, TV, ceiling fan, and sitting area. Mauka Bedroom: Banana leaf thatched ceiling with separate entrance, lanai overlooking the tropical gardens and waterfalls. Queen-size hand-carved teak poster bed, separate in-room sink vanity, closet with safe, TV, ceiling fan, and sitting area. Bath: Large all-marble dual-vanity bath with shower, tub, and separate-room water closet. Shared by both guest rooms (separate entrances).

FAMILY STUDIO COTTAGE SUITE: (sleeps 2)
Private lanai overlooking courtyard gardens and waterfall includes a separate cottage with high ceilings, pass-through eating bar, sink, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator/ice maker, private lanai patio with dining table, full bath, desk, sitting area, closet, TV, ceiling fan, and a queen-size hand-carved teak four-poster bed with tropical netting. A safe is located in the closet.
Bath: Full tile and teak bath with vanity, tub, and shower.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a tropical home with open-air louvered windows. No air conditioning is needed, as the nearly constant ocean trade winds bring a delightful, gentle breeze from over the water during the day and from the mountains at night. You'll enjoy the natural tropical feeling!!!

SECURITY CAMERAS: The security camera is installed at the entrance gate and overlooks the front entrance and driveway. Exterior perimeter cameras on both adjacent neighboring homes may have a partial view of the outside property, which is also clearly visible to the general public and where no reasonable expectation of privacy should exist.

NOISE MONITORING: Noise-aware devices are located under the two tiki huts, with the repeater in the entry. This device only monitors the dB level and does not record any sound.

Amazing, unique property. Very much an "outdoor experience" as the house is extremely open to the outdoors having zero glass in the windows - just wooden slats. As such, no a/c - hot. And huge amounts of bug bites...all beds had mosquito netting, but it didn't work. Each of us had at least 50 bug bites by the end of the trip and were having to apply calamine lotion, etc. So, if you want an outdoor experience and don't mind not having temperature control and don't mind being eaten by bugs and chasing birds out of the house....amazing.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2025
Aloha Deanna, Thank you for staying with us again. We are happy that you had a “wonderful experience.” We hope to have you return for a third visit, and thank you for highly recommending our home to others! While it is magical to have the home directly on the ocean, there is a small tradeoff. The appliances bear the brunt of the corrosive salt air. As a result, we have the appliances professionally checked bi-monthly and replace them on a rotating basis to keep them fully operational and attractive. Occasionally, there may be a corrosive blemish, but we can assure you that they are all current, updated models. All of them are switched out with new ones every 3-5 years to keep them attractive. We will double-check to see if any are approaching that time. We were delighted you noticed the kitchen upgrades upon your arrival! We strive to provide our guests with a pristine luxury experience with every detail addressed. Thank you for your review! We look forward to your next visit!

Best view in Kona

During an exceptionally cold winter, it was heaven to spend a wonderful week basking poolside in the warm breezes watching the whales and boats go by. The house is beautiful and nicely outfitted, very open with the feel of Hawaii throughout. But for me it was all about the view!

We had an amazing stay at this property. Exceeded our expectations from the pictures online. We loved being able to hang out in the several lounging spots at the house, being able to walk the beach and tidepools directly in front of the home and easily walk to town. We didn't feel like we needed to leave the property it was so great. Mei, the property manager helped us immediately and gave recommendations. We would absolutely book again.
