About this property

Awesome View, Best Snorkel Beach, Big Lanais, Private Home

Kahaluu Beach Holmes is a great vacation rental property with a spectacular view! We are located a short 300 feet from Kahaluu Beach, one of the Island’s premier snorkeling beaches. Our home offers unrivaled views of the beach and a panoramic view of the pacific ocean from our large lanais. We offer 4400 sq ft of living space on two levels and can sleep 10 comfortably. Larger groups contact us prior to booking.

The top two floors of the 3 story home, that are approximately 2200 sq ft each. Both floors have two king bedrooms / two bathrooms, a full size furnished kitchen, large living room, and private lanai with beautiful ocean views. For larger groups each level has a comfortable queen size futon with a 'real' mattress, the 2nd floor has an additional queen size Murphy bed in the living room. This allows beds for 10 plus the futons.

Each floor has a private entrance as well as a comfortable indoor split level stairway that joins them.

The house is fully furnished, there is great off street parking, laundry, WIFI, cable, and the view from the top floor is unmatched. Unquestionably one of the best vacation rentals in the area.

We are located 300 feet (an easy walk down the driveway) from Kahaluu Beach! Undoubtedly one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Fed by a fresh water spring, up to 10 million gallons per day. These waters are almost always calm, with colorful corals, rock formations, and 100+ species of fish. Swim with huge schools of colorful fish and green sea turtles in these protected waters; don't forget your underwater camera!

The north end of the beach is where the waves break and is best for body boarding and surfing. The local surf instructors give lessons there on a regular basis. Kahaluu is well loved because of the calm, protected waters - perfect for families and kids as well as the adventurous wave seeker. Shady trees surround this beautiful sandy beach. Facilities include a pavilion, rest rooms, showers, a lifeguard tower. Concession stands, surf school and beach gear rental.
