Tropical oasis in Kona: Resort style heated pool, Hot tub & Ocean views


This lovely home sits on over half acre lot surrounded by palm trees, lush green lawns and tropical flowers with gorgeous views of the ocean. Resort style backyard with private pool with waterfall and a hot tub creates a relaxing oasis to enjoy at any time of the day or the evening and will make you want to stay forever. The pool temperature is maintained at a comfortable 80 degrees for year around enjoyment.

Fall asleep to the sound of palm trees rustling and wake up to the birds chirping right outside your window. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances, gadgets, cookware and much more, whether you choose to simply enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Kona coffee before starting your adventures or prepare a full meal. There is also a grill and lots of outdoor furniture if you choose to cook and eat while enjoying the beautiful backyard.

Many windows in the house bring in cool Hawaiian breeze, and there is air-conditioning for warmer days or humid nights.

My family and I stayed at this wonderful home for a few days at the start of our trip. It was in the perfect location, spacious, and the pool was perfect for an evening swim after adventuring around the island. They have everything—extra pool towels, beach supplies, and pool toys! The hosts were also super responsive to any questions I had and was so kind to let us have an early check-in AND late check-out, given their calendar. I would absolutely stay here again!

Sitting at home writing this review wishing I could be back at Sean and Anjali house on Kona. Our stay was perfect, the house was perfect! Best rental we’ve ever had on the Big Island! Every amenity you could think of was provided in the house. The house and grounds were gorgeous - well stocked with indoor and outdoor kitchenware, bath & pool towels galore, pool & beach supplies, bug spray lol you name it, they have it! The pool was our favorite place to be. Our two kids (3 and 5) spent endless hours swimming so much so that we will forever have the memory of our 5 year old learning how to swim from the deep end to shallow end all by himself :-) & the sunsets oh how I will miss. There is a beautiful spot on the side of the house to watch it set. Thank you Sean and Anjali for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Hope to be back sooner than later!

Tropical relaxation

The property has everything that a large family needs to enjoy a Kona vacation. Well equipped kitchen, lots of beach supplies, and a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy and relax. The only item that would make the stay even better would be more stable beds in the smaller bedrooms. Two adults sleeping on those beds is a bit wobbly.

About the host

Hosted by Sean and Anjali Ellis

Host profile image
Sean and Anjali call Half Moon Bay, a coastal town just south of San Francisco, home. Sean is a typical Silicon Valley computer geek, and Anjali enjoys helping families buy and sell homes. They lead busy lives, but find time to travel, experiencing different cultures and places around the world.

Why they chose this property

A few years ago, Anjali and Sean took a trip to Hawaii, and fell in love with the Big Island. Trips thereafter led to discussions Kona as a retirement destination, which offers a perfect blend of culture, leisure activities, beautiful drives and diverse landscapes. In early 2018, they purchased this house to rent out for vacationing guests.

What makes this property unique

The house is close to town, in a gated community surrounded by lovely homes and friendly neighbors. Don't forget to wave back. This house has a beautiful pool, enjoyable with plenty of privacy. A path leads to the beach and to town, both easily walkable. Kona satisfies every want: restaurants, shopping and activities.
