About this property

Ali'i Point #12: Oceanfront Getaway w/ Hot Tub, AC, Lanai & Shared Pool

Set along the lava rock shoreline of Kailua-Kona’s Aliʻi Drive, Aliʻi Point #12 is a private oceanfront sanctuary within an exclusive gated enclave of just 16 homes. With 3,199 square feet of interior space and a sprawling 1,500-square-foot lanai overlooking tide pools and crashing waves, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath retreat—with an additional loft—welcomes up to nine guests to experience Big Island living at its finest.

Living & Dining
The great room is framed by vaulted ceilings and walls of glass, bringing the Pacific right into your living space.

The dining area seats eight comfortably and flows effortlessly onto the lanai for alfresco meals at sunset.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters, and generous prep space for multiple cooks. Casual breakfasts can be enjoyed at the ocean-view bar seating, while dinner parties unfold around the custom dining table or out on the lanai with the waves as your soundtrack.

The wraparound lanai is your private front-row seat to Kona’s coastline. Lounge in daybeds, dine under the stars, or soak in the bubbling hot tub as the surf rolls in. Families will love the walkable tide pools just beyond the property—nature’s own aquarium at your doorstep.

This house was incredible. We used it as homebase for our immediate family and to host some extended family who were staying in nearby accommodations for almost every meal. The wraparound views from the master and oceanfront sounds were just what was needed.

Ali'i #12 is a beautiful property - the pictures in the listing are a perfect representation but can't capture the emotions felt when entering the home. The views of the Kona coast are amazing while the sound of the surf and tropical breeze confirmed we had made the right choice when booking this home.The house is large and comfortable and had everything needed for a family of five adults during our one-week stay. Ample room for socializing, but large enough to find solitude after a long day. The location is far enough from town to escape the touristy feel, but 5 minutes away to enjoy a day in Kona if desired. That said, almost everything you'll want to experience on the west side is within 30-60 minutes by car. For an added treat, right across the street is the Ali'i Marketplace, where you can get anything from Kona coffee and fish tacos to t-shirts, fresh flowers and locally grown produce. Overall, a great property and we hope it's available for our next visit!Rick Hansen

Magical and Memorable

This home provided a perfect place to spend our family vacation! Close enough to downtown and an centralized location to enjoy the entire island. We have visited the island previously but consider this home to our best-loved rental to date. The home was one of our favorite things from the trip because it gave us such a peaceful and beautiful retreat when we were not out on an adventure.

Beautiful location, well positioned for Kona activities nice to have access to plenty of linens and towels. The AC only in the bedrooms was as advertised, it did make the common rooms quite humid. The loft area was a warm spot too.Many of the outlets weren’t functioning, there are lots of outlets but a little hard to charge phones by the bed.

Oceanfront at its best

Looks exactly as pictured - oceanfront means an unobstructed view of the ocean from every bedroom, the main room, and all parts of the extensive lanai. We stayed here in late January and it was a great spot to viewing a large number of whales every day! It was a wonderful place for our family to gather together for a long awaited group vacation. Definitely one of the nicer places we have stayed on the Big Island. Thank you!

Beautiful property with a great location and views.

This was a beautiful and well-maintained property with a lanai that cannot be beat! The ocean view was gorgeous with plenty of windows to take it in from multiple areas of the house. Loved the large open doors, which did a great job with ventilation. The AC was only in the main 3 bedrooms, which made the "kids" room somewhat stuffy. Additionally, there was an issue with the initial entry code provided, but this was rapidly addressed by the person on call for the property. It is a little far from Volcanos National Park, but close to many gorgeous beaches. This was a great place to stay - just wish we could have stayed longer.

Kona Ocean Dream

Fabulous location . Spectacular vista. Ocean lover's dream. Very clean. Septic system was clogged and needed repair but was done promptly. Cold water faucet in master bath frozen shut. Repair never completed. Great snorkel and beach gear. Modern SUV's too big to fit into garage. Some electrical outlets downstairs bedroom not powered and reading lamp not usable. House needs instructions how to use air conditioner units. Support team very responsive and polite. Despite minor criticisms best vacation home we've ever stayed in.
