Honu Hale: Exquisite Oceanview Estate w/ Pool, Hot Tub, AC & Oversized Chess Set
Set above the Kona coastline with sweeping views of Lyman’s Bay and Holualoa Bay, Honu Hale is a spacious, view-drenched retreat designed for families and groups seeking comfort, privacy, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. With five bedrooms, multiple lanais, a private saltwater pool, and sleeping for up to sixteen, this hillside estate blends generous gathering spaces with peaceful corners to unwind and reconnect.
What You’ll Love About Honu Hale
• Nearly 180-degree ocean and coastline views from multiple rooms
• Large private saltwater pool, hot tub, and oversized outdoor chess set
• Spacious great room with vaulted ceilings and ocean-facing bay windows
• Private office with half bath, AC, and lanai access
• Upgraded kitchen with ocean-view windows, double ovens, and breakfast seating
• Multiple lanais connecting the home to warm breezes and vibrant sunsets
Living & Dining
High vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and wide ocean-view windows set the tone for relaxed coastal living. Sink into the plush sofas for movie nights, gather for game time, or enjoy long, slow mornings watching the light change over the water. A formal indoor dining space seats six comfortably and opens directly to the pool terrace. Downstairs, an additional media room with a queen sleeper sofa and Smart TV provides extra flexibility for larger groups.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
The upgraded kitchen is bright, organized, and designed for easy meal preparation. Stainless steel appliances, double ovens, ample counter space, and an ocean-facing window make cooking a joy. A breakfast bar for three and an attached kitchen nook offer casual dining spots. Steps away, a poolside BBQ invites outdoor meals framed by swaying palms and wide-open coastal views.
Outdoor Oasis
A private saltwater pool anchors the outdoor living space, surrounded by loungers, lush landscaping, and space to watch little ones play. A bubbling hot tub sits at the edge of the terrace with panoramic ocean views. Enjoy oversized outdoor chess, multiple shaded seating areas, and dining options perfect for sunset meals. From morning coffee to the last glow of the day, the outdoor spaces at Honu Hale embrace the warmth and beauty of the Kona Coast.
