šļøMagnificent Estate | Extraordinary Views | Lanai + Pool & Hot Tub
vrKCV - GMH at Keauhou Estates 9, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations
Imagine a warm, welcoming place where families and friends can feel a sense of peace, and share in the wonderment of seeing the blue Pacific Ocean stretch out, uninterrupted, from south to west to north. The pictures don't lie: you have probably never been in a private home with views like these, and they are yours to enjoy from the pool, the spa, the den, both dining areas, the bedrooms, the lanais⦠you get the idea. Lots of glass here: it's floor to ceiling in most of the house. Connoisseurs of eye candy, fanatics for light and space, welcome! You're home. The property is surrounded by gorgeous tropical vegetation (see photos), lovingly tended since 1992 by one of the Big Island's most renowned landscapers, Dwayne Richmond. There aren't many better ways to start a day than having your coffee on one of the garden benches, surrounded by Dwayne's handiwork. (The vegetation isn't just pleasing to the eye; it also provides privacy, and a lot of it.) If it's raining, or if you just want a different perspective, sip your java while taking in the amazing treehouse view from the upstairs lanais- it's awesome. To minimize GMH's carbon footprint, most of our electricity comes from the PV panels on the roof. Power is stored in an Enphase battery array- the first in the state of Hawaii. There's never an extra fee for using the air conditioning at GMH. Each of the four bedrooms has its own private bathroom, independent air conditioning, ceiling fan, king size bed, and high def t.v. There is a Jacuzzi in the north upstairs bathroom. Returning (and hopefully future) guests might notice the new quartzite pool deck and new tiling on the upstairs lanais. These recent (2026) major renovations, along with a general sprucing-up of the property (both interior and exterior) were important steps to allow us to maintain the beauty and functionality which are GMH's trademarks. Go ahead and revel in the privacy that is one of GMH's trademarks, but don't worry about feeling too isolated. The common area of the house is basically one big, open room, cooled by breeze or AC, which looks out on the Pacific. Here, you and your family and friends feel connected to the ocean and the sky, and to each other. The pool (70 feet long) and spa both face the ocean: same incredible view you have from the inside, only now there's sky over your head. Sitting in the spa with loved ones, beverage in hand, watching the sun drop into the Pacific⦠don't be surprised if you get a little teary. I know I do. Convenience comes with the territory at GMH. Keauhou Shopping Center, with its supermarket, drug store, good restaurants, shops, and urgent care clinic is four minutes away. It's 15 minutes to the town of Kailua-Kona, with its many attractions. Great snorkeling and surfing lessons are six minutes away at Kahalu'u Beach Park. It's nine minutes to beautiful La'aloa (White Sands) Beach. Various famous coffee plantations are 20 minutes away. Excellent walking (with spectacular views, of course) is right outside the front door on the immaculate sidewalks and streets of gorgeous Keauhou Estates. Finally, for those of you who plan to use GMH as a home base for longer excursions, your host would like to provide you with some templates for full-day and half-day trips from the house. These are only suggestions, made available just in case you suffer from the āso many destinations, so little time ā syndrome, and are feeling a bit overwhelmed. If you have an interest, please remember to ask for the booklet called āRob's Road Trips, Restaurants, and Snorkel Spotsā when you reserve the property. This is a home worthy of its magnificent surroundings, where memories to last a lifetime are created. It would be an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to this place, which means so much to me.
Your host, Rob

Aloha Brent, Thank you for choosing Kona Coast Vacations for your stay. We are glad everything met your expectations and you enjoyed your time here. We enjoyed hosting you! Mahalo, Kona Coast Vacations
We rented this property for a reunion of 4 siblings and spouses.The place was great and a perfect fit for us.Beautiful views,beautiful and quiet neighbourhood.Large and well equipped kitchen with large dining room made for perfect family dinnersWe would definitely return for another visitKona Coast staff were very helpful and responded to any need and question very quickly
What a terrific experience from start to end. The home was gorgeous, well appointed, and the views are to die for. The neighborhood is exquisite, and the customer service was wonderful. Thanks for a great stay!
What a beautiful location!!! The Sunsets were Amazing!!! The beds were very comfortable and the home had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable!
Mahalo for a beautiful trip!!!
Comfortable house and private retreat. The view is incredible and wonderful place to watch sunsets. Lots of privacy inside and out! The furniture and beds were super comfortable. So nice to have a private pool to lounge by as you stared at the ocean!!
Our family of 8, ages 8-75 yo, had an incredible stay at this home. Very well stocked and comfortable with a view that cannot be beat. The bedrooms are all en suite and it was truly the perfect house for us. Waking up to that view and going to bed every night after watching the sunset is something that we will all always remember!
The property itself is amazing but the views are unbelievable. Amazing sunsets and wonderful views of the ocean. There were 4 couples in our group so the house worked perfectly for everyone to have their own room and bathroom. Hoping for an opportunity to stay again.
The photos donāt do it justice. The home is very large and rooms are perfect. We will go again. Thank you.

Itās always an honor when a guest provides us with a 5-star review. Thank you for taking the time to recap your stay! Weāre so happy to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy your time.
Most impressive thing..panoramic, unobstructed sunset views. Impeccably clean. Overall well stocked cooks kitchen. Pool most suitable for adults. Interior tastefully furnished. Management very responsive to issues.
Outstanding property with great views. Very nice pool and a functioning hot tub were used daily. In addition to being a beautiful place, it was clean, and had all the little things needed to make your stay easy and enjoyable.
Kona Coast Vacations provided excellent details about getting into the property and did regular follow-ups to ensure our trip was going as planned. Will definitely utilize them again on our next trip to Hawaii
The house may be a bit undersold in its description. It is amazing! It has everything you need and more. The view is the best I had on the island. I highly recommend this rental.
Aloha! We had an Amazing trip to the Big Island and this VRBO was Fabulous!! The view is breathtaking. The house is amazing! We were close to grocery stores, eateries, art galleries and more! The Island has so much to do! Rent a jeep and go see the green beach. The black beach was amazing too! The Host of this house was amazing from his recommendations to the art work on all of the walls, to the amenities. This is a must stay vacation spot. I ām home now and I miss this place already! Have a wonderful vacation!

Amazing location and views. Home is a bit outdated and needs to be updated. Cleaning is done poorly but itās Hawaii and their standard of clean is a bit different so we understand, sticky floors and counters and canāt walk barefoot because you will need pedicure the next day āŗļø.
Over all it was great!

We had the best stay at this property! The views throughout the home are second to none. It is the perfect place to lounge around the pool, with loungers, chairs and pool floaties available. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils/appliances. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed our daily morning walks. It is about 15 away from Kona, however, there is a supermarket and some shops & restaurants that are even closer and more convenient. Management was very responsive - we had trouble with the AC units and a technician was sent the next morning. We absolutely loved this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat! We are already jealous of its next tenants :)
Gorgeous home, just needs a bit electronic updates
We loved it here so much so that we booked the property again. That said a few updates would be helpful like outlets near the beds for modern devices, the dishwasher works but seems like its making its last stand; and the main tv dies not support modern streaming apps
Little things really the home is spacious and beautiful and the views- yes make your jaws drop:) Finally property mgmt was attentive and helpful throughout š

Hi Dan-
Thank you for the three extremely helpful recommendations. The dishwasher has been replaced, and the other two will be implemented in short order! We are always appreciative when guests let us know how we can improve the GMH experience.
And thank you for re-booking. We are excited and honored to host you a second time!
Aloha,
Owner and Kona Coast Vacations
We loved the separate areas for plenty of privacy along with the large kitchen, living room & dining room in the center for gathering all together. Even the outside area allows for space but togetherness. We all had a great time swimming & playing corn hole. There are views from almost every room in this home. I loved watching the sunset while making my evening cocktail at the wet bar in the upstairs bedroom. There is a coffee pot upstairs also which allows for a little wake up time out on your own balcony before joining the group downstairs. Kona Coast Vacations did a really good job of accommodating us & checking in to be sure that our stay was enjoyable. We all had a wonderful stay & will definitely be returning.

Amazing Property That Did Not Disappoint!
Thank you to the home owner who opened up this fantastic home for us to enjoy! This house is amazing. It's so spacious and gorgeous that we didn't want to leave. It's well appointed and very well taken care of. The artwork is interesting and tasteful, wood floors are beautiful and we were thankful for the air conditioners. The pool and the hot tub were so wonderful we never even bothered to head to the beach. Don't pack a lot because you won't want to leave the house and the washer and dryer are super handy!
The listing was accurate and the house was clean and well-maintained. Kona Coast Vacations was helpful the couple of times I called them to ask questions. We had no issues at all with this home and will definitely stay here again!
We usually stay at the Fairmont Orchid so we aren't very familiar with this part of the island, but try Lava Java in Kailua-Kona. We enjoyed dining there a couple of times!

Our recent stay in a remarkable Hawaiian property was an absolute dream. Tucked away in a secure neighborhood, this vacation home was a perfect sanctuary for our group of four couples. With breathtaking views and a stunning pool, it provided an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the mesmerizing vistas. Perched atop a hill, we were treated to panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and lush surroundings. Each sunset painted the sky with vibrant colors, reflecting beautifully in the azure waters. Waking up to such natural beauty was a true blessing.
The house itself exuded comfort and luxury. With its spacious layout, we had both privacy and ample space to spend quality time together. The bedrooms were elegant havens for relaxation.
The house is just south Kailua-Kona and convenient to Keahou shopping center.
The property management team was communicative and helped prepare us for a wonderful vacation but also very non-intrusive. They did a a great job of making our stay enjoyable.
