Location: Captain Cook, Kona Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA (14 miles south of Kailua-Kona) View Map
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Library, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
An oasis of peace and tranquility overlooking spectacular Kealakekua Bay ("Pathway of the Gods"), Hale Ke'ei Lani ("Heavenly Abode") is a luxurious custom built home sitting on a beautifully landscaped one and two-tenths acres.
A custom built redwood and cedar pole house, this tastefully furnished, smoke-free home features an Asian style floor plan, open beamed ceilings, wrap around decks and magnificent views of Kona's famous sunsets.
Only a short drive away, Kealakekua Bay as well as the Place of Refuge National Park offer some of Hawaii's best snorkeling, kayaking and whale watching, plus the opportunity to swim and interact with the resident pod of spinner dolphins.
Hale Ke'ei Lani is located in the district of South Kona revered by the ancient Hawaiians as the source of their spiritual and physical sustenance. It was here that they enjoyed the best fishing, farming and hunting, and perhaps the best climate in all of Hawaii.
Sitting at the ideal elevation of 900 feet, it's all perfectly laid out for you: Mt. Mauna Loa behind, the ocean and the daily magnificent sunsets in front and cooling breezes all around.

Map & Owner's Profile
An Oasis of Peace and Tranquility in Beautiful S.Kona
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Captain Cook
I've lived on Maui and Kauai and the Big Island feels the least touristy and has more of a feeling of community than the other islands. And this is the most beautiful part of the Big Island. I did not buy the house as a "vacation rental". I intend to live there full-time someday. Until then I want to make it available for others to enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Perfect climate. Safe neighborhood. Quiet. Private. And it's flat out beautiful, the house as well as the property.
A nine acre healing sanctuary and community resource center with daily yoga classes and other events. http://www.paleaku.com/
Owner's Map of Captain Cook
Divide my time mostly between Northern California, Hawaii and Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent and Bali.
