4 BDRs with their own baths! Modern decor! Privacy! Best Ocean View in the Hood!

Imagine relaxing in your very own pool, listening to the quiet hum of the distant surf, watching the perfect sunset. All that and more can be enjoyed in HALE KEANI ('House of Gentle Breezes')--a gorgeous modern home in a private, gated community.

Welcome to Keahou Estates, a private and gated subdivision at an elevation of 518 feet above the beautiful south Kona coastline, where the surf’s whisper greets you upon wakening and lullabies you to sleep at night. We are just around the corner from several restaurants, a grocery and a drug store, plus a movie theater; the snorkel beach is only 2 miles down the road; and downtown Kona is a short and scenic ten-minute drive. Our home is nestled in the preferred south end of the neighborhood--well away from the sounds of traffic on the main roads--and near the end of a cul-de-sac. You'll find lush landscaping on either side for maximum privacy—you won’t even know you have neighbors! We sit well above the houses below, so much so that we can easily boast the best (and dare we say the most romantic) sunset view in the entire neighborhood.

Our home is in like-new condition and professionally decorated. You are going to love the modern furnishings, the travertine flooring throughout, as well as our new 77” LG OLED TV and state of the art surround sound system in the Great Room! Each of the four bedrooms has its own marble-tiled, full bathroom, as well as its own flat screen television, and private lanai. The master bedroom has even more: it’s own 77” LG OLED TV, a whirlpool tub, and an outdoor shower garden. We guarantee that after enjoying a shower in our new outdoor tropical shower garden, you will find it hard to ever shower indoors again! Granite countertops and custom cabinets line the open kitchen, which would make any chef happy with its Jenn-Air gas range and Dacor double oven and microwave. For casual dining, four wicker bar stools pull up to the over-sized kitchen island. The distressed teakwood dining table (one of a kind from Indonesia) seats eight. As for the living room, relax in comfort as you enjoy the entertainment of the High Definition TV with DVD and surround-sound speakers. Finally, don’t miss the vaulted ceilings that span the entire living space! Open the sliding screen doors and let the outside in: ours is truly a floor plan that takes advantage of the island breezes.

Because let’s not forget that you’re in Hawaii; you’re going to want to spend most of your time outdoors. Feel free to laze away your days in the infinity pool with its waterfall feature. We’ve got lounge chairs for tanning, cushioned chairs for reading and/or conversation, and Adirondacks for whale-watching--or just daydreaming (coffee, anyone?)! Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying all your meals in our Bali-inspired, covered outdoor dining area--fully equipped with a gas grill for outdoor cooking, stainless steel sink, Frigidaire refrigerator, flat screen TV, and cocktail bar. Gather ‘round the antique wagon-wheel table from Bali for pupus every night at 6pm sharp: once you’ve experienced our gorgeous sunset, you’ll never want to leave this private island getaway.

****NOTE: A/C is available at an additional $75/day plus tax--that's $619.30 per 7-night stay.

****IMPORTANT: Late checkouts are subject to availability and will incur a fee of $500 (paid directly to host). Late checkouts will not be confirmed more than two weeks before check-in.

This house was wonderful for our group of seven. Plenty of privacy too with each bedroom having an attached bathroom. The real showstopper is the pool area with the most amazing views of the ocean. Everything went smoothly from communication with the owner to getting checked in at the guard house.One thing future renters may want to know is there is an outdoor cat that the owners are feeding. It wasn't really an issue except one night when we tried eating outside and the cat wouldn't leave us alone. It made a few people uncomfortable. Other than that, the house was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for having us!

Perfect Hawaiian Vacation!

The house and property are gorgeous and we would love to be able to stay here again! The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were perfect for our group. The pool was amazing and the sunsets from the pool deck were mesmerizing! Location was perfect for our group as we love the quietness of the neighborhood and house and the proximity to the beaches and downtown Kona were exactly how we like to vacation!!

Wow! That’s all we can say - Katie’s home is one of the best vacation homes we’ve ever stayed at. The pool, the view, and the outdoor living spaces were our favorite. She thought of everything inside as well. The amenities are top notch, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of beach towels and chairs for fun at the beaches. Comfortable beds, plush linens, extras of everything - we cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back!

Great location and comfortable house

This house has it all! Infinity pool with ocean views for days (unheated but the sun warms it up); 4 bedrooms with 5 beds available; ample storage (closets with hangers); toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, qtips, basic sunscreen/aloe/bug spray left over from other guests in the half bathroom); plenty of kitchen accessories (air fryer, blender, kuerig and drip coffee); snorkeling gear/beach chairs/beach towels/sun shade. Katie was communicative, quick for outreach/follow up before and during our stay!

First Annual Sisters Trip

We chose this magnificent home for our first sisters getaway to the Big Island. It exceeded ALL expectations and could not have made a better choice! The home is beautifully decorated, warm, comfortable and fully stocked from kitchen to beach accessories. We each had our own beautiful bedroom and bath. We gathered on the comfortable outdoor patio for morning coffee and every night for a beautiful sunset (a must!) as the view of of the ocean is perfect. The outdoor kitchen /grill and table was awesome. After our morning walks, we’d jump into the warm saline pool. Can’t say enough about this house. Perfect vacation, perfect house, perfect location and the owners were wonderful to communicate with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

PERFECT property!

I wish I could give this house 10 stars! It was immaculately clean when we checked in and ready for our family. The owner has thought of EVERYTHING that you would need to make your stay perfect. The house is in a gated community and the neighborhood is beautiful. This house has the perfect view from the back patio to relax and watch the ocean. But the sunsets! This house has the best views for those Hawaiian sunsets. It is close to town so commuting each day was never a problem. I would 10 times out of 10 stay here again and highly reccomend! The owner Kathleen was also very prompt with her responses and communications and is a top host! We hated to leave, but will be back to stay in this wonderful home!

Stunning home!

When we saw the photos online of this house we knew it was going to be pretty but it’s nothing like seeing it in person…it’s just absolutely gorgeous! We spent every morning drinking coffee on the back porch looking out at the ocean and enjoying all the various birds that visited. Everyone loved swimming in the pool and eating our meals on the covered eating area outside. It was a great experience for all of my family! (One tip - if you’re second guessing getting the AC like I did (in May) just go for it! We added it on after arriving and I’m so glad we had it because some days we really warm outside.)

Wonderful stay!! I booked the home for 8 people (4 couples) all adults. The house was exactly as described. We were in town for Ironman so I was excited to have a house where I could lay low and relax in the week leading up to it. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out, but also lots of great communal spaces to come together to spend time for meals, games etc. The views are INCREDIBLE. The kitchen had everything we needed for my mom to cook several meals for the group throughout the week. I didn’t even want to try local restaurants because nothing was as spectacular as the house and the views. Owners were super responsive in the weeks leading up to our stay and during the stay. Honestly my only criticism was how far it was from the downtown area of Kona where all the Ironman activities were held throughout the week, but I knew that when I booked the house and feel the trade off of being 5 miles away was well worth having such a cool house for the week to relax in. Also, the house next door is doing construction on their pool which got noisy in the afternoons but was quiet on the weekends. I got the master bathroom with the bath and outdoor shower and made use of both. How luxurious! Would not hesitate to book again. Thanks for an incredible stay.

LOVED the house/property…inside and outside!!! Everything you would want…lots of space and privacy with the four bedrooms and their own bathrooms! Living Room, Kitchen & Dining Room were all great and comfortable. The side yard patio was great with its BBQ, TV, big round top table and a high top/stools were all great to use! The pool was also great ( you would have thought all the grandkids had never even been in a pool they were so excited to be in it!!) and we always enjoyed our morning coffees and evening sunsets on the patio sofas! We did miss having a jacuzzi though! And the outdoor shower was a favorite!! Even though we chose to drive to distant beaches and locations, the house is very convenient to downtown Kona and lots of restaurants & shopping, etc. We had five adults and five grandkids (9-15) and everyone enjoyed it all!!! It made a very a fantastic trip and memory for all! Thank you!!!

Beautiful Home

The house, location and amenities were awesome. Katie was a great host and made sure that we had everything we needed. The grill had broken with the previous guests, and she made sure a brand new one was delivered before we arrived. The only criticism I have is I wish the pool had been heated, and that I noticed what I believed was the hot tub was no longer a hot tub. But that was my oversight. Overall,a wonderful, beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen

Host profile image
We met 40 years ago at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. Each of us grew up in suburban Chicago--we both come from families of seven kids! We have three children of our own whom we are very proud of. Together, we enjoy golfing, hiking, fishing, red wine, and watching the sunsets. We don't think we will ever get tired of spotting a whale breaching.

Why they chose this property

Our first visit to Hawaii was on our honeymoon in 1985. We returned for our 10th, and then again for our 15th anniversary, and we have been coming back to the Big Island to enjoy mini-honeymoons every year since. We've enjoyed Spring Break here with our children many times as well. We just love the Big Island for its beautiful weather and casual vibe.

What makes this property unique

Over the years, we have visited many homes on the Big Island. The first time we walked into this home, we knew it was the perfect one for us. Ocean views, and especially sunsets, are very important to us. Of all the houses we had seen, this was the only one that truly offered an unobstructed view of the ocean. Not a single rooftop blocks the view!

The house is the perfect size for our family: a master bedroom suite for us, and 3 other bedrooms, one for each of our grown children. And since each bedroom has its own beautiful bathroom, everybody gets their privacy! We know that as our family inevitably expands, there will be plenty of room for spouses and grandchildren.
