About this property

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. Travelers departing on evening flights who require a guaranteed late checkout should consider adding an additional night to their reservation upon booking.

A piece of paradise for sure!!! View was absolutely amazing, neighborhood was beautiful and quiet, location was central to a lot of beaches, shopping and restaurants. We had a fantastic stay celebrating my daughter’s 30th birthday. The host (Katie) couldn’t have been better at communicating with us! The place was immaculate and very comfy, cozy! We would love to come back some time! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! Mahalo!

This place was beautiful. All bedrooms having their own bathrooms was a huge plus too. The manager was always super responsive with any questions we might have. I think I could have never left the property and enjoyed my vacation thoroughly. Already miss waking up to that view!

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.

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!!

Beautiful home Very central to a lot of things around The Kona area. The house is also in a gaurded gated community, which gives you a good feeling of safety I would recommend to anybody looking for a beautiful home to stay at. This is the one. The only thing you need to bring is yourself and your clothes. The house is very well stocked with everything else you need. I would highly recommend renting this house

Saying that we had a great time would be one the biggest understatements possible. We had 4 cousins between 7 and 10 and their number 1 memory was the pool. Rooms were superb. Kitchen and appointments were everything you could need We were 3 families of 10 people and we never felt cramped. Communication was awesome.

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.
