Aloha! First, my welcome to you for you have found the best location -Keauhou -on the Big Island to stay, or maybe all of the Islands. The weather is superb, the waters are full of fish and, often, whales. The Aloha spirit lives on in Keauhou, site of King Kamehameha's royal grounds.
My Condo Home is in the Keauhou Resort area (near the Sheraton) and minutes from downtown Kona, nestled in the picturesque and archeologically prominent area of Ali’i Drive. You are within a short downhill walk to Keauhou Bay, its harbor and access to water activities including sailing, snorkeling, canoeing, swimming and dive cruises to Kealakekua Bay.
Kona means “leeward side” or West in Hawaiian and that means full-on sun every day of the year, however the very best micro climate is here in "Keauhou". I chose this Vacation Home because it's in a quiet park like location, out of the hustle and bustle, yet in an absolute paradise of weather, Hawaiian culture, sports activities and convenient to all the Big Island has to offer.
My home has 1232 sq ft on the first floor of a well maintained condominium resort. The home presents easy Island living with two bedrooms and plenty of open space. The Master Suite slider opens onto the 300 foot lanai and adjacent lawn area. It has a king size bed, walk in closet and its own bathroom with tub and shower. The separate dressing area makes the Suite private and personally comfortable. The second bedroom is a full queen. Wi fi is available on the complex grounds in the communal "Long House". The second bathroom with shower, separate dressing area and a full laundry is adjacent to this bedroom.
Should you choose to eat in, rather than sample the great fare at our local restaurants, the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, flatware, pots/pans and spices. There is a baking oven, microwave oven, dishwasher and huge refrigerator. Dining on the lanai with a Kona Sunset is a superb way to make a romance sparkle, end the day and live in joy.
Sliders from the large living room extends onto the marvelous landscape and view of the Pacific Ocean, Kona Country Club's Ocean Golf Course (the #8 green) and with an expansive lawn area leading to the swimming pool and the "Long House", a common social gathering place in the evening.
The well maintained and peaceful complex is situated within easy access (10 minute walk) to a complete shopping center with restaurants, grocery, Longs discount, cinema, and other amenities. In addition, there is the Keauhou and the HELO Expresses, free bus systems for Kona. Great and reasonable discount golf is available by merely walking the 9th hole to the Kona CC Pro Shop.
You are within walking distance of Kahaluu Beach Park, the best snorkeling beach in the Hawaiian Islands. Schools of brightly colored fish and sea turtles make for great and safe snorkeling. The night diving with the Manta Rays for experienced scuba divers is just a stones throw from the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and is rated one of the top 10 dives in the world.
Within a reasonable drive, you can find white sand or black sand or green sand beaches. A leisurely drive puts you onto one of the world’s most active volcano, Mauna Loa. Great hiking, sight seeing and you can always bring your snow skis to schuss down Mauna Kea. The Kona Iron Man Triathlon turn a round point is just a short walk down Ali’i Drive. All in all, this Condo Home makes for a superb, relaxed, low key Hawaiian vacation.
We are glad to answer any questions and do all we can to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Mahalo.

Why the Owner Chose Keauhou Punahele
The weather: Year round day temperatures of 82 and night time of 70 or so. Occasional rain in Keauhou but not enough to dampen your fun. Activities galore. Hawaii is the dream isle and you will enjoy discovering the hidden beaches as well as the touristy ones. Come and see for yourself!!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Easy access to the condo home and easy access to all of the fun locations on the Kona side. Yet the Kileauea volcano is an easy drive as are the waterfalls and beauty of Hilo. My home is fully equipped with washer, dryer, ovens, dishes, all of the kitchen amenities and the pool is a 3 minute walk down the manicured lawn walk. Oh did I mention the home is on the golf course?
A 4 minute walk down to all facilities: swimming, kayaking, dive companies, sailing cruises, manta ray night dives. Small beach with showers and picnic facilities
Two well designed and set out 18's - Ocean Course and the Mauka or Mountain Course-. Reasonably priced with beautiful ocean views.
Great for an evening cocktail, watching night time manta ray show, listening to Hawaiian music, massages, etc
These trails will lead you to the most beautiful of water, vegetation and rock to be found
The main ocean side parkway from Kona village to the South end of the Island and the Kilauea volcano caldera.

Owner's Map of Keauhou Punahele
Hi! I've lived in California all my life and have been active in health care, real estate, banking and as the general partner in several limited partnerships. Now I'm now retired and have homes in Kona, the Azores, Pebble Beach, the Sierra Mountains and the San Francisco Bay Area. Since I can't use them at the same time I enjoy sharing them with quality clients who appreciate a comfortable, convenient and well maintained home. My home in Kailua Kona near Keauhou Bay is my favorite to spend warm days in Hawaii enjoying the islands great offerings. I believe you would enjoy the golf, snorkeling, diving, hiking, fishing, studying the fabulous geology and the native culture. For additional shots of my home send me an e-mail.
