Welcome to Koni Kai, Hawaiian translation: Passionate Sea. Koni Kai is a beautifully designed, very comfortable oceanfront home. Considerable time and effort has been spent to ensure Koni Kai is equipped with everything one might want/need while on vacation.
Koni Kai is perched on an ancient lava flow on the South Kona coast in Milolii, the oldest fishing village in Hawaii. If you are looking for nightlife (other than some of the best constellation viewing on the planet), then this is probably not the place for you. If, however, you are seeking a luxurious personal refuge that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation, then you have found your perfect vacation destination at Koni Kai. Located 30 miles south of Kailua-Kona and just an hour’s drive from Volcano National Park, Koni Kai provides the perfect home base to lounge all day on the 1000 square foot sundeck, explore nearby black and green sand beaches, experience the dramatically different eco-systems in the rainforests near Hilo, or hike the volcano to search for petroglyphs and watch active red lava flow into the ocean. Regardless of how you choose to spend your days, you will be welcomed back to Koni Kai with some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, the perfect backdrop for the dramatically rugged landscape.
In the winter months (approximately November thru March), you will be able to sit on the sundeck and watch Humpback whales migrate, spinner dolphins perform and the occasional green sea turtle swim up to say hello. Some of the best snorkeling, diving and fishing can be found directly in front of the house due to a coral reef that spans the north side of the bay.
While we would hope the majority of your vacation is spent “un-plugged” from the chaos of the rest of the world, we understand there will be occasions when you need to check-in, so complimentary Wi-Fi internet and high-definition satellite television are provided. A brand-new, state of the art water filtration system, to include UV light, has been installed. The kitchen includes a Wolf gas range, Kenmore oven and microwave, Bosch dishwasher and every small appliance we could think of. There is also a laundry area with a brand new Whirlpool Duet hi-efficiency washer and dryer.
Koni Kai welcomes you with much Aloha, now and for all your future Hawaii visits. Please contact us with any questions you may have – we look forward to making your stay as pleasant and memorable as possible.

This is exactly what we were looking for in our first trip to the Big Island. On the ocean and experience the lava flow from the Volcano National Park. Sarah was fantastic and super responsive. The house was amazing. We were able to fall asleep easily to the crashing waves against the rocks.
Full disclosure, if you aren't used to Hawaii roads and switch backs, please note the drive to the property may be a challenge for you but no different than the Appalachian area on the mainland.
The lanai was amazing to play cards, watch the sunset, and then the amazing night sky with so little light pollution you can take in all the constellations.
We were very pleased with our visit to the Big Island and staying at this property.

Our stay was so incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The neighborhood is very quiet and perfect for walking any time of day taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean. No whale sightings but the dolphins sure did put on a show as we watched from the expansive deck. The bed was SO comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed.

Perfect location on the ocean. Private and quiet. Great Deck and access to water. Master bedroom and shower overlooking ocean is fantastic. Very clean and layout is a 10. Geikos add to the ambience. Do all your own cooking and grilling so bring food !

The house has a beautiful view, and the deck is amazing. The house was very clean. When we were there, there were lots of mosquitoes and we had to use mosquito repellent frequently. There were times that we had to go inside as we kept getting bitten even with repellent. The sunsets were amazing and despite the mosquitoes, we enjoyed staying in the house. It is far from everywhere. Shop on your way there as it is a long way to a store to get more provisions.
The primary bedroom is right off the living room and has sliding doors to the living room. It has a great view and the shower looks out over the deck to the ocean. The room itself is not very private as it has no ceiling and is open to the rest of house.
The other bedroom is on the small side and has a very comfortable bed.
The kitchen is great, easy to use and has just about everything you might want to cook. We enjoyed making dinner there.
It was a great place to spend a week and it’s a great house. Just know before you go that it’s far from everything and that there are mosquitoes!

Loved this property. The amazing views from every room of the home were amazing. Nice and secluded - just like I wanted. Had a rental car so we were still able to tour so many beautiful sights on the island.

You cannot get better views than you can with this house. As mentioned in the description, yes, it’s out of town and the drive off the main road might be awkward the first time you go down it. But once down at the house, you’ll forget all about that. If you want to just unwind, disconnect and enjoy the gorgeous blue ocean, book now.
Sarah and her team are amazing and respond in a very timely manner, if needed. They all take great pride in the property

This beach house is in a great location. The house is clean, great kitchen, 2 bathrooms with amenities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable.
AMAZING VIEWS. Our last 2 days we watched whales.
The night sky offered plenty of stars. Beach front property. We cannot wait to return.

We especially enjoyed the spectacular surf, whale sightings, and big deck overlooking the lava rocks. The rooms are large and inviting. There were a lot of little touches we appreciated—snorkel gear, coolers, beach towels, sharp kitchen knives, a good supply of basic condiments. The surf was particularly high during our stay so we couldn’t swim near the house, but we appreciated the tips about other recommended spots.

We had a lovely time, unbelievable view and location! Spotted whales and dolphins our last day from the deck! Thank you!

Drive to house from Rte. 11 is an adventure, should be explained. Sliding doors to Master Bedroom screech loudly, need silicone, dining room chair (moved to corner) has a wobbly seat, needs tightening.
Overall, extremely enjoyable stay.

This is the second time my sister and I stayed at this property. It is very peaceful at this location and if we were any closer to the ocean we would be in it. The home is clean with excellent kitchen and bathroom amenities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I highly recommend the property and will always stay here when visiting the big island!
