Overview
Large Beach House In Quiet Private Cul-De-Sac. Sleeps 12 Comfortably.
People call it the Blue Lagoon home. The official Hawaiian name for the home is "Hale 'Olu Olu", "The home of relax and comfort" which was recently given the name by Kahu Danny Akaka after a traditional Hawaiian house blessing was done for the home. The home is considered a great Hawaii beach house with nice Hawaiian decor. Park the car and walk to the beach. It’s a 5 minute walk to White Sands Beach (aka, Magic Sands Beach) and a 10 minute walk to Kahalu’u Beach Park, one of Kona’s premier snorkeling spots.
The Hale 'Olu Olu is a private home nestled in the quiet community of White Sands Estates. The home is built to feel as if you’re sleeping in the open tropical air and trees with detailed Hawaiian features throughout the home. The location is great for both the active person or just to sit and relax. After a day at the beach enjoy the sunset view from the Lanai and the living room or wash off the sand and jump in the private blue lagoon like salt water pool.
This family friendly Hawaiian beach house is a great hub for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, wedding get together and don't forget the annual Ironman world championship.
The property is dotted with palms, fruit and plumeria trees. The home sits in a friendly and normally quiet cul-de-sac in a friendly Kona neighborhood.
The Hale 'Olu Olu is a large two story home. All bedrooms have its own private bath and entryway along with a private lanai. All the downstairs rooms have an upgraded feature of a wet bar for added convenience. The home has a separate stand-alone unit for additional privacy. Hale 'Olu Olu is great for birthdays, anniversaries and wedding get together's.

About Mike & Laura (Owners)
Owners and operators Mike & Laura, married for 33 years and semi retired love to travel to the Big Island. Its our favorite island of all the islands because of its laid back feel and the friendliness of the local people. Mike grew up in New Mexico and Laura in Southern California. We currently live in Southern California and look to be living in Kona in the future.
Mike & Laura (Owners) purchased this house in 2014
Why Mike & Laura (Owners) chose Kona Coast
We love this property because of its location, close to the beach, close to snorkeling and surfing and it's quiet location. The home also fits our family well when we come out to stay. We especially love waking up in the mornings to the sounds of birds and the ocean. Our favorite thing to do is to walk down and watch the sunset every evening and come back and BBQ and sit around, eat and talk story on the upstairs lanai.
What makes this house unique
The feel of the home is Hawaiian in and out. Our daily routine is, early morning run or walk on Al'i Dr. Walk to either Magic Sands Beach Park or Kahalu'u Beach Park to snorkel. Come home wash of the sand at the outside shower and jump into the pool, then BBQ on the Lanai and watch sunset. Get an occasional golf game in or just simply just sit and relax.

Family Vacation
Absolutely wonderful. House was spotless so much room and each bedroom has its own bath!
Ohana was perfect for my daughters little family...the pool was perfect, and the lanai off the kitchen's view of sunset was gorgeous. Walked to magic sands to swim each day veey convenient for young and old alike. The house decor was extremely tasteful and the house held everything we needed.
Highly recommend for families with children of all ages...or for couples wanting to get away.
Very Comfortable
We rented this for a family reunion and it worked out perfectly! Having enough beds and baths for everyone was a big plus. Everything was very clean and tidy. Having a well stocked kitchen was also a big plus (since we all love to cook), so by and large we didn't have to buy basics (salt, etc), or even some extras (sriracha sauce, etc.).
A thoughtful gift of fruit was provided midway through our stay.
Children and adults alike enjoyed the pool. We did buy extra fans for the master room as it seemed warmer than the downstairs rooms, so those were left for future guests.
Beds were comfortable, ceiling fans an asset. The short walk (5-10 min.) to the beach was pleasant.
We did find the mop to clean up spills, but couldn't locate a bucket. The microwave appears to need some securing to the wall behind it. The kitchen knives were in very poor condition and I spent about an hour trying to sharpen them, but didn't make much headway.
All in all a wonderful holiday. We would definitely consider returning!
Beautiful house, terrific location, wonderful owners
We picked this house for our family reunion, and it was a great property and location for this purpose. This house was perfect for our family and was exactly as described. The rooms were spacious and well decorated, appliances were fully functional, and the house was well equipped with everything we needed for meals at home. My family loved the pool and appreciated all the extras provided by the owners such as beach towels, pool toys, and an outdoor shower to rinse. When we wanted a change, we just went down the street to an awesome white sand beach. The location was close to town as well as nearby sites to include the Captain Cook monument which has some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii.
The best part by far was how responsive and helpful the owners were to our multiple requests. They accommodated us on three different occasions without charging us extra or giving us a hard time. Indeed they went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. Mahalo to Mike, Laura, and their team!
Perfect for our family reunion!
The house is in an amazing location blocks from one of the best beaches and one of the best snorkeling spots on the island. It was the best stocked rental I have ever stayed in - from a well-stocked kitchen to pool and beach supplies. The pool was lovely, sunsets from the lanai were beautiful, and there was plenty of space in the common area for us to hang out between adventures in Kona. We plan to come back as soon as we can!
Blue Lagoon Stay
Our stay at Mike and Laura's Blue Lagoon Home was epic! The well designed home is wonderfully decorated with tasteful art and comfortable furniture. The individual coffee makers, refrigerators and microwaves in each room are such a nice touch! Our group utilized them extensively. The main kitchen is extremely well outfitted with cooking utensils which is extremely important to us. Mahalo for that!! The kitchen proximity to the upstairs lanai and BBQ is such a plus!! Excellent morning coffee area and evening sunset watching!!
The pool is wonderful.. so nice to relax by it in the morning or evening after a day of fun at the beach. The neighborhood setting is relaxing, even though it is only a block from the popular and outstanding White Sands Beach! The morning bike rides to snorkel at Kahalu'u Beach were fantastic! A great way to start the day!
Even though we did not have small children with us, I was impressed with the amenities that were provided for families with little ones! There are child gates to block the stairs, high chairs, etc readily available. Nice touch!
So much snorkel gear, boogie boards, bicycles and beach equipment available!! Nice!
The overall Aloha and charm that this home exudes is fantastic. Paradise! It is obvious with all of the amenities, cleanliness and charm that Mike and Laura take great pride of ownership in their vacation rental. Thanks for sharing your home and aloha with us!
Tony and Merci
Great house for a large crowd.
We had 11 people in our group and the house fit us nicely. The house is a nice distance from snorkeling and the town of Kona. We bought food at the markets and made most meals at the house together. There isn't a great place to sit the whole group, so we just pulled some chairs into the living room and all sat around and are together using the couches and chairs. Overall, we all had a great experience and would come back again in a heartbeat.
Map
Shielded from winds by Maunaloa, south Kona’s calm and clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, diving and spotting dolphins and honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles). One of Kona’s most memorable experiences is going on a manta ray boat tour to scuba or snorkel with these gentle, graceful sea creatures. Kona is also famous for its deep-sea fishing, hosting the International Billfish Tournament (August) every year. And on land, don’t forget to travel to the cooler upland slopes of towns like Holualoa, where you can sample the distinctive flavors of 100% Kona coffee. On the versatile Kona coast, you’ll find the adventures are as big as the island itself.
