For the adventurous, free-spirited, nature lover, Hale Keawe offers the rarity of living in modern luxury while experiencing natural Hawaii at its finest. A uniquely open environment surrounded by lush tropical gardens and shaded by towering coconut palms, Hale Keawe is a private, gated property - located 22 miles south of Keahole-Kona Airport.
Sitting on majestic Kealakekua Bay, a national marine preserve and the site of the Captain Cook Monument, Hale Keawe offers two spacious bedrooms with lanais and private baths. It has a fully-equipped kitchen, an open-air living pavilion with dining area, a king-size bed and sitting room, a separate guest cabana with bedroom and open-air bathroom, and an additional outdoor shower. Hale Keawe is fully equipped with all the comforts of home in a five-star environment.
Meal preparation is a breeze in our open-air, fully-equipped kitchen - constructed of black lava and concrete. Enjoy your meals on beautiful, handmade furniture. The open design of the home allows you to savor the fragrant aromas of the plumeria, jasmine, gardenia, and many other indigenous flowers of the Big Island.
After a meal, retire to one of the many spacious lanais overlooking the bay, where you can be swept away by the calming sounds and smells of the ocean - or catch a glimpse of the spinner dolphins or breaching whales in season.
Nap in the family-size hammock or curl up with a book on the bamboo chaise. No matter where you choose to lounge, you will be treated to ocean views, exotic birds, fresh fragrant air, and comfortable furnishings.
Launch one of our top-of-the-line kayaks into the crystal-clear waters of historic Kealakekua Bay - the home of the ancient Hawaiian Alii (royalty). Snorkel or shore dive with schools of tropical fish, Manta Ray, sea turtles, and octopus. If you have never had the experience of swimming with a pod of dolphins, plan on it everyday. These mammals will entertain you with their acrobatics and friendly dispositions - and will guide you on an unforgettable tour of the bay.

Amazing house, unique location and wonderful ambiance. Whilst the house is in an isolated location the locals we meet during our morning walks were interesting and friendly. The house had an interesting mix of "creatures" - spiders that remained in the tree in their amazing web, birds that visited every morning, a mongroose that helped itself to the left over cat food, colourful geckos that provided entertainment everytime we dined in the open air. The best part was the "open air" shower with the lava wall. The fact that this house is in the cove where Captain Cook was killed, made this location even more interesting. The only down side for us was the distance to the nearest cafes and restaurants- certainly not within walking distance. A car is a must. The photos of the house were accurate of the amenities but the photos don't do it justice. The house was clean and well maintained and the garden is a delight to look out at while relaxing in the open air living space.

From the time we entered the gates of this private compound to driving down the grassy lane on our way back to the airport we have never felt so relaxed as we did at this house. Most of the rooms have no walls allowing the ocean breezes naturally cool the rooms. There are no air conditioners to drown out the sounds of the birds chirping. At night the "geckos" like the one in the insurance commercial, scurry up the walls in the living room as Hawaiian music fills the air. Our favorite part of this place was it was steps to the water where we went kayaking everyday with dolphins jumping and spinning for us. I can see why the Hawaiian Royalty chose this bay as their home. We look forward to returning next year and many more years. We highly recommend this house if you are looking for a relaxing getaway from it all.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
