About this property

Kailani Vista is a private, 3-story oceanfront haven perched directly on iconic Ali‘i Drive, a leisurely stroll from downtown Kailua Kona. Spend your days exploring lava-rock tide pools at your doorstep, perfecting your short game on the backyard putting green, or savoring fiery sunsets from twin lanais that seem to float over the Pacific. An elevator whisks you between all three levels, and a brand-new oceanfront hot tub turns every evening into a stargazing event.

What You’ll Love About Kailani Vista

  • Elevator access to all three floors
  • Oceanfront hot tub with unobstructed sunset views
  • Two expansive lanais perfect for al-fresco dining & whale watching
  • Tide pools and lava shoreline just steps from the gated yard
  • Backyard putting green, outdoor shower, and secure carport entry

Living and Dining

The top-floor great room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, local artwork, and pocket doors that disappear to merge the indoors with a panoramic lanai. Gather on plush sofas for movie night or share stories around the dining table framed by endless blue water.

Chef-Ready Kitchen

Granite countertops, a five-burner cooktop, dual ovens, wine fridge, and pass-through window to the lanai make cooking a pleasure—whether you’re preparing fresh-caught mahi or morning Kona coffee.

Outdoor Oasis

Both main lanais hover above the shoreline, second floor is equipped with lounge seating, the top floor is equipped with ceiling fans, a Weber gas grill, and comfortable seating options. Descend to the lava-rock terrace for tide-pool exploration, then soothe sore muscles in the bubbling spa as the sun melts into the horizon.

The place was beautiful! It's near everything and the view is beyond amazing. We spent most of our time on the balcony looking at the ocean and the sunsets/sunrises. The five minute drive to downtown gave us a ton of options for food and entertainment. Very close to airport, luaus, beaches, and tours. It is on the main road so car noise is often, make sure to bring some earplugs for a peaceful sleep. Highly recommend!

Very clean, well equipped property with beautiful views, comfortable beds and bedrooms, and plenty of amenities.The kitchen had everything you would need to prepare just about any meal. Right on the water with nice sunsets and tidal pools in the back yard. Only issues...the elevator was not working during our stay and the street noise can get loud at times and was a bit of an issue for my daughter who was sleeping in the bedroom facing the street.

This home is amazing. Set right on the ocean with waves crashing on the rocks, & beautiful sunsets. The kitchen on the third floor with amazing walk out deck is where we spent most of our time. Highly recommended!
