About this property
Waialea Bay Beachfront Home with AC
Nestled along the shoreline of Waialea Bay, Hawai‘i, Kolea is a beautifully renovated two-story beach house offering a tranquil, private escape with beach access at your fingertips. Built with clear‑fir walls, oak flooring, and custom koa cabinetry, the home’s design evokes warmth and elegance, while mature landscaping ensures both serenity and seclusion—yet it's merely steps from the ocean. Upstairs, the light-filled living area and kitchen under a high-beamed ceiling open onto a spacious covered lanai ideal for dining or unwinding with ocean views. Downstairs, the lush grassy yard invites barefoot play, with an outdoor hot-and-cold water shower providing a refreshing rinse after sandy beach adventures. Air conditioning is available in all bedrooms for added comfort, but many guests prefer the open breeze and ceiling fans for that genuine tropical experience.
Inside, the home sleeps seven across three King beds and one Twin, with two full bathrooms offering convenience and space. The layout strikes a balanced blend of style and casual comfort through thoughtful amenities—including a TV in the downstairs bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, a grill, beach chairs, towels, and a lawn perfect for kids to play.
Guest reviews highlight Kolea’s rare combination of peaceful privacy and beachfront access. One raving guest described walking “out the front gate and directly onto the beach” as “an amazing feeling,” while noting that “the upstairs lanai overlooks the ocean but still feels private from the beach because of the vegetation surrounding the property”. The house is complete with AC for those warm summer months.

About the neighborhood
Puako
Located in Kamuela, this vacation home is on the beach. While the natural beauty of Mauna Kea Beach and Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Mauna Lani Resort Golf Course.
Manta Ray Point and Great 4-D Movie Ride are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and mountain biking nearby.
