vrKCV - Hale Pohaku 1, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations
Welcome to Hale Pohaku 1 – Your Oceanfront Paradise!
Step into your perfect island retreat at Hale Pohaku, a luxurious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront condo on the beautiful Kona Coast. With 1,161 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and an expansive 25-foot lanai just steps from the Pacific Ocean, this property invites you to relax, unwind, and soak in stunning sunsets, playful dolphins, and the gentle rhythm of the waves. Located just 1.5 miles from town, Hale Pohaku 1 combines privacy, elegance, and authentic Hawaiian charm in a small, exclusive complex.
Key Features:
Oceanfront Living: 25-foot fully covered lanai with uninterrupted ocean views; Hunter ceiling fan for added comfort; seamless indoor-outdoor living with fully pocketing sliding glass doors; perfect for dolphin watching, seasonal whale sightings, and picturesque Kona sunsets.
Architectural Excellence: Designed by award-winning Hawaiian architect Vladimir Ossipoff; Kamaaina-style with no shared walls for enhanced privacy; floor-to-ceiling louvers in every room provide excellent cross-ventilation and a cooling island breeze.
Exclusive Complex Amenities: Only six units share the light saltwater oceanfront pool and covered parking; saltwater pool is gentler on the skin than traditional chlorine pools; oceanfront patio and grassy sunbathing area for peaceful lounging.
Interior Highlights:
Elegant Island Design: Granite countertops, custom-crafted Koa wood cabinetry, and contemporary bathrooms that blend modern comfort with Hawaiian charm. Seven ceiling fans enhance the ocean and mountain breezes.
Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements: Both the primary and guest bedrooms feature custom-crafted California king beds designed by a local artist with beautiful Honu (turtle) carvings.
Fully Equipped Kitchen: Outfitted with high-end appliances and essentials to prepare meals with local ingredients from nearby farmers markets.
Entertainment & Connectivity: Living area includes a 65" full HD TV, high-speed Wi-Fi provided.
Community & Nearby Attractions:
Private Beach Access: Gated seawall entry to a small white sand beach steps from the condo; protected wading area surrounded by lava rock and coral reef; a favorite spot for curious sea turtles.
Prime Location: Approximately 1.5 miles from downtown Kailua-Kona; walking distance to restaurants, shops, and one block from the Alii Gardens Marketplace; Kona-Keauhou trolley stop just one block away for convenient transportation.
Ideal for Ironman Fans: Located directly along the Ironman race route, offering a front-row seat to the final leg of the world-famous triathlon.
Additional Information:
Please note: This unit has seven ceiling fans to enhance the natural ocean and mountain breezes. It is not equipped with Air-Conditioning.
Concierge Services: Complimentary concierge available to assist with planning activities, excursions, and memorable island experiences.
Accessibility & Location Note: Situated along a main road for easy access to area attractions; nearby secluded beach; tide pools are ideal for exploring during low tide (note: terrain may be uneven and not suitable for guests with mobility challenges).
Rental Policies: Minimum night stay varies seasonally from 4 to 10 nights; no pets and no smoking allowed.
Tax & Permit Information: TA: 129-406-5664-01 | STVR: 19-354043
We look forward to welcoming you to Hale Pohaku—your oceanfront paradise on the Kona Coast!
