Our stunning Hawaiian Paradise home is located just a few blocks from the waterfront village of Kona, Hawaii in a private gated community of luxury homes. With a nearly constant year around temperature in the 80s, and a cool ocean breeze, this custom Hawaiian home is as tropical as you can get. Overlooking the crashing waves on the lava and sandy beach coast, the home features a designer infinity pool with two waterfalls, a sandy bottom wading pool, huge lanais, and two courtyard ponds with their own waterfalls in a 'Jurassic' garden setting. There is even a private 'island' dining patio next to the waterfall overlooking the dramatic Kona surf. The house comes fully furnished with a designer dream kitchen, open air oceanfront dining room, kitchen bar, living room, entertainment room, an unbelievable Master Suite with panoramic ocean views, a pampered oceanview study, two Tropical Guest Suites, each with their own separate entrance and opening onto the lush courtyard and waterfalls, and a separate Family Cottage Suite with its own bar sink, microwave, coffee maker, sitting area and lanai. The master suite comes with its own private whale watching tower! The house sleeps eight, two in each suite plus futons for young children up to 10 years old.
'HALE KONA A'EKAI' is a unique oceanfront private custom home meaning 'the home by the wash of the sea'. It was intricately designed to capture the essence of waterfront Hawaiian living. Thatched ceilings, open walls, louvered teak windows, ten foot teak doors, endless lanais, and tropical landscaping, all help to capture the spirit of the islands. The house is exquisitely detailed with imported teak, bamboo, marble, granite, and quartzite throughout. The home has been featured in several magazines. The grounds are equally impressive with rare tropical flowers and palms, four waterfalls and a stunningly impressive bathing pool with an infinity edge. A stairway bridge takes you across to the island pedestal where you can lavish in a dinner surrounded by water with simultaneous views of the sunset, waterfalls and the crash of the waves! Enchanting, magical and romantic--there is so much more to describe---but you must see it for yourself! Unsurpassed luxury. Come stay with us and experience the mystique and beauty of the Big Island!
MAIN HOUSE LIVING AREA: Large open oceanfront living area includes:
KITCHEN: Teakwood and solid granite dream kitchen with all the appliances including separate beverage cooler, warming drawer (JennAire 2016)vegetable sink, double ovens, 4 burner stove with grill/griddle (JennAire 2016).
LIVING ROOM: Bamboo furniture adds to the tropical feel of the high ceiling open living area which extends out onto the Lanai. There is an area to sit and enjoy the ocean views and the infinity pool, a more private area to engage in conversation, and an entertainment area to enjoy the surround sounds of TV, stream a movie, enjoy the player, or relaxing music on our Bluetooth sound bar.
DINING: Enjoy the sunset while sipping Mai Tais on the whale watch tower. Don't forget to look for the 'green flash!' Dine at the six seat bamboo dining table that borders the lanai with open air ocean views, sit for pupus (appetizers) at the granite bar, or take dinner out to one of the ocean side teak tables to enjoy the sound of the dramatic nearby surf while dining under the bright Kona stars. The experience is mystical!

This home is dreamy. It is open-air so you always have the feeling of being in synch with the Hawaiian air. It is uniquely divided into rooms that provide privacy. The Master suite is amazing. There is no air conditioning, so if you are coming in the middle of summer, be prepared to use fans in the evening as it can be warm and stuffy.
The infinity pool was as advertised, and the views of the ocean were surreal. A short 5-minute walk gets you down the beach to a swimmable cove that was never too crowded.
The kitchen was great for cooking large family meals. This home felt so private but you are only 5-10 minutes from restaurants, grocery stores, and shops.
Our party of 6 had an amazing time. The local property contact, Mei, was a delight and welcomed us when we arrived. She was always responsive by text or phone.
Overall, we were more than satisfied with our stay. Mahalo.

There was absolutely nothing more we could have wanted in this beautiful home and setting! From the very beginning, any inquiry about the property was addressed with sincere interest in making our stay all that we had hoped for. The home owner identified with how important this holiday was for us,-~ celebrating our 50th Anniversary with the family. The sheer delight and awe that came over ALL OF US will be remembered. The comments and smiles were worth every dollar. We will remember this with love and delight.
As the on-site hostess welcomed us and gave us a tour and orientation to the home, we now all share special memories that we will recall for years to come. Thank You Sheree, Bruce and Mei for all you did to make this time WONDERFUL. We didn't want to leave.

This was the nicest VRBO location I’ve ever stayed in. The unique layout combined with the spectacular view gave my entire extended family the vacation of a lifetime. There were six adults and five kids and everyone had something to do. The pool was a hit, the outdoor space was perfect for everyone and the accommodations were great for each family. The wow factor of this property is like no other, but once you settle in, the amenities make it feel like home. Everything was well organized, fully stocked and Sheree was extremely communicative. If we can, we will be back someday!

We had an amazing stay at this property. Exceeded our expectations from the pictures online. We loved being able to hang out in the several lounging spots at the house, being able to walk the beach and tidepools directly in front of the home and easily walk to town. We didn't feel like we needed to leave the property it was so great. Mei, the property manager helped us immediately and gave recommendations. We would absolutely book again.

It was everything we hoped for and more! It's a house on the ocean so there isn't much more to say..I read some of the other reviews and let me say that we experienced the same feel of home away from home as others! We were meet on arrival and given a quick tour, which was great! Then we just unpacked and relaxed after that! Worth every cent!

This is the most amazing property we have ever stayed at on our 16+ trips to Hawai'i. We have stayed at many nice places, several "owner suites" at various high end hotels such as the Kahala and Marriott Montage. This property is in person as it is described in the listing. This was the first time we have stayed at a place with no A.C. and the listing is right, you don't need it! The fact that the house is open all the time and you get the constant crashing of waves is just so relaxing. The master with its open plan and outdoor shower makes you feel like you are sleeping on the beach.
You'll also have the opportunity to shoot some amazing sunsets pictures. The only draw back is that you cannot go into the ocean in front of the home due to the terrain. You can walk around the lava rocks, look in the tide pools but one slip and you'll be looking for the first aid kit (which is provided). Good news is a 5 minute walk and you'll be at great spot to play in the ocean, not much fish to look at but safe great spot for kids and "non ocean" folks.
The house had amazing amenities, including spices and every cooking tool you'll need for inside cooking or on the grill by the pool.
Grocery, shopping and restaurants are literally 10 minutes away.
You really feel like your in Hawai'i at the home and as we all left I asked "how did everyone like the house?" and the answer was...Wow....just wow!

This was our fourth stay at this beautiful home. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it is. When you walk in and see the ocean, just beyond the infinity pool, there’s nothing like it. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Two of our family members had to work a bit, and got to make use of the lovely office in the master suite.
The location is amazing, so close to downtown Kailua-Kona (1mile) and some great walks along the beach or over to the botanical garden at the old airport. It’s a perfect morning jaunt.
There is nothing not to like about this house. We will be back!
