Oceanfront Private Home with pool on Kahalu'u Bay & the ocean is your backyard!

This house is a gem. Location location location! It is literally on the ocean. You hear ocean waves always, and can sit under the covered lanai and watch surfers. The home is well stocked with everything we needed and Julie was very communicative. Would 100% recommend this home.

Everything about this place was exceptional. The kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, pool, and best of all the location. We were able to sip our coffee or gulp our wine while watching surfers all day. Fantastic place

Julie's house was the perfect place for us to stay,

Wonderful location. Short walk to beautiful snorkeling, short drive to restaurants, and short drive to grocery store. Kitchen was well stocked.

Julie is an awesome host!! Property info: No A/C if not sure. Have awareness that the road noise is noticeableat at night. Great location!

It’s difficult to exaggerate the restful and understatedly classic ambiance of this oceanfront home. Highlighted by the tranquil rhythms of the waves lapping at the sea wall and the relaxing solar heated pool, the cottage’s traditional Hawaiian design and furnishings further accentuates a sense of timelessness that is both comfortably welcoming and unpretentious. In addition, the sense of privacy is truly engaging and it’s proximity to a wonderful beach for snorkeling as well as downtown Kona for restaurants and entertainment made this a singularly enjoyable vacation for me and my family.

This home has been decorated to give the feeling of a traditional Hawaiian home, with woven wall coverings and bamboo accents, and lots of carved wooden masks, vintage prints, and other fun decor. But the real star is the ocean, which is literally in the backyard! During our stay there was a storm and large swells so we had waves crashing against the sea wall and even over the wall on occasion! We also had calmer days when we walked a few hundred yards down the road to snorkel with colorful fish and sea turtles, and sat out on the lanai and watched people taking surfing lessons while we kept an eye out for the blows of humpback whales. The owner, Julie, was very responsive to any questions we had and gave us some great tips (ask her about feeding the eels). We plan to go back!

We absolutely loved the location of Julie’s house. We spent every waking moment at the house on the back patio and pool enjoying sunset views and watching the surfers. Surfing and snorkeling are next door and it’s hard to imagine a better location. The house has great tiki bar vibe and was equipped with everything we needed. The house needs a little deep cleaning and love but you quickly forget about it when you step out on the back porch. I hope to stay there again.

This home is amazing! You can sit on the back patio with morning coffee and watch the waves crash. Such a beautiful setting! It is the most relaxing time here! The home is private and comfortable. The owner is very responsive if you have questions and makes you feel very welcome. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location! Our host Julie is a rock star ! She was always available for anything we needed. Our place was perfect and exactly like listing . Fully stocked kitchen. The most amazing part of our stay was the nightly sunsets! Best on the island

Property was the perfect location as a “home base” as we attempted to squeeze in as much of the island as we could, in a short amount of time. Great to return back to the home located directly on the water. Sunset were amazing and the surf was wonderful to listen to late into the evening.

Thank you, Julie, for sharing your place in paradise! The location and set up of the house allowed us to completely unplug from everything and relax while still having access to everything we wanted for the vacation. I got to sit on the lanai by the pool and watch family surfing in the bay. Walking to amazing snorkeling was a highlight. One rainy night we drove the quick 5 mins to the movie theater and watched a new release we’d been eyeing. Such a perfect location — hope to be back next year!
