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 Ohana Cottage Suite with its own kitchen, kitchen bar, 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 children.
'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 ice maker, warming drawer, vegetable sink, double ovens, triple stove. 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, a movie, or relaxing music. 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!

Another amazing vacation! This was our third time at this wonderful home in Kona. Each year we come we bring a list of activities to participate in and day trips to take. And each year at the end of the vacation we look at the list and there's precious little crossed off. We walk out to the pool area and look around and think there is nothing that beats this setting right here. No need to leave. We're from Washington State, we've seen a volcano. No need to go there. It rains in Hilo. We get enough rain in Washington, thank you very much. No, staying put in this wonderful open air Hawaiian paradise is just fine by us. Maybe someday we'll actually get to that list but not just yet....Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed at this amazing property celebrating my husband's birthday. Our family came (including our 3 year old grandson) and it was a perfect week. The house has every detail taken care of. The kitchen has tons of space with beautiful appliances and an outdoor BBQ. The huge glass doors open to the beach. The master suite has a shower that is open the the ocean and big glass doors that we never closed at night. The whole feel is spacious and luxurious. We loved our stay there!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

All-day breezes, ocean waves, sun (and shade when you want it!) and sea life surround you. Plenty of privacy in the house and specacular view and places to relax all over the property. The most-discriminating traveler will be thoroughly impressed and thankful they booked this property. The house could be the most-exciting of all the places you see on the Big Island! Very clean and well-maintained. Large kitchen and eating areas for meals.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

All 7 of us ladies enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. We all felt like home. The house is beautiful, comfortable and was even lovelier than the advertisment claimed. We toured the island and stayed overnight at the volcano. Swam with dolphins and enjoyed the beautiful beaches all around the island. The owner left gave us the name of a chef for the evening as well as a lady that gave all of us massages for the day. I painted 4 small paintings while I was there overlooking the ocean and gardens and sold all of them when I returned to Canada. All the ladies have recommended this site to their friends as we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. WOW covers how we all felt and we hated to leave.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This house is without a doubt, amazing. From the emasculate detail put into every room, to the breathtaking view, you're in for a treat! I recommend that whatever activities are planned to always make it back in time for sunset! Whether you want an adventure of a lifetime, a romantic getaway, or to relax in the sun during your stay at the big island, this is the place for you. The people that own this property are truly wonderful. Many mahalos for letting us have the experience of a lifetime!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

For the first time in 20 yrs, I think I actually slowed down mentally and physically two days in to our stay here....a well needed rest from my hectic city life and job. The property was exactly as described/pictured, if not better. Well looked after, clean and well stocked with essentials. Nice attention to details. The house itself is cleverly designed with open planning and large teak/glass sliding doors making you feel like you're outside in a paradise while you're in the home relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious....and of course has a spectacular ocean view, as does the 2nd floor master suite and 3rd floor look out. Only the infinity pool separates you from the beach. An incredible view. With out traveling any further, we snorkeled right outside the house. The property is located in a very private, secluded section of the Kona shoreline, with private security keeping the ambiance in check at all times. With just a short 10 minute walk we were at a variety of restaurants, hotels, art galleries, boutique stores and even a spectacular La'au. This was definitely a perfect get away break with breathe-taking views, modern conveniences and luxury features designed to create the most serene and restful vacation I've ever had.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This place is simply lovely! What do you say to such beauty? The house opens to the ocean by simply opening a couple doors and the breeze fills the entire space. The intimacy of the sea is at your door step along with a refreshing infinity pool to cool down in. The house’s décor is done in teak wood which gives a warm Hawaiian feel. This place hands down is sooo wonderful and you will enjoy your decision to the fullest. There is access to the wall which is good for a run, evening stroll and there is a sweet sandy beach just a couple blocks away (following the wall). Great for families or couples laying low. You’ll need to make an excuse to leave this gorgeous home as I couldn't come up with many:) Enjoy!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Absolutely fantastic trip!! Photos do not do this property justice, it's a must see to believe!! It is truly an oasis. The accommodations are impeccably clean and in perfect order, extremly comfortable! Once we had our groceries, we never wanted to leave! The town of Kona was an easy walk if need be. I would love to rent this home for a wedding someday (hmmm, four daughters????). We have traveled often and this by far is our favorite place to stay when in Hawaii.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We just returned from our trip to paradise. The pictures do not do this home proper justice. From the moment we walked through the front entrance, we knew that we had picked the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. All of our children joined us (from Alaska, Missouri and Virginia) to spend 10 days of bliss. Our youngest son even proposed during our stay - she said "yes". What wonderful memories! Every sunset was breath taking. It was hard to leave the house to enjoy the Island, but it is only a short walk into the Village of Kilua and to the old airstrip. We were able to enjoy the canoe races and take a couple of day trips (to the Volcano and to the Hilo side). Other than that, we just enjoyed "being there". Thanks to Bruce and Sheree for opening their home and allowing us the opportunity to experience their piece of paradise. We are looking forward to the next visit!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

I spent a great deal of time researching, reviewing and finally selecting a home in Kona for our family get-together. I wanted it to be perfect. My diligence paid off as this property is truly wonderful! Everyone loved the open-air tropical feel and the incredible views of the ocean and wave-action. The kitchen is a dream and the entire house is truly amazing. The furnishings and decor are in keeping with first-class island ambiance. Sheree handled all of the details and arrangements flawlessly and we were warmly greeted by Melissa. You will be delighted if you choose this property! It's a winner!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
