About this property

Ocean Front Property adjacent to thousands of acres of undeveloped state land.

Kailea means "sea of dreams". It is a brand newly constructed property located in sunny Kaloli Point. It is a spacious ocean front lot with added sense of considerable privacy as it is adjacent to thousands of acres of undeveloped coastal state land, which you can access for walks, fishing, etc. If you feel energetic, you can even hike along the scenic coast, or the tropical rain forest to the gorgeous Ha'ena Beach. Feel the spray of the ocean and if you are lucky, witness the humpback whales breaching or singing close by during season. Here, you will find an unobstructed view of both open ocean as well as distant shoreline. Treat yourself to a beautiful sunrise and quite often, a romantic moon rise on the horizon. For you bird watchers, you may see a variety of rare specimens such as the io (hawk) or the pueo (owl) along with the more common frigates and nene (Hawaiian geese) flying overhead. There is much to do here and we will provide the use of water sport gear, beach chairs and towels, bicycles, caving gear, and many more. Kailea is close to many attractions on the east side of the island. We currently reside close by but are in the process of finishing the construction of the main residential dwelling on the property. In short, we will be in short proximity to serve your needs and answer your questions promptly. E komo mai!

What a beautiful, peaceful location!

This property in Hawaiian Paradise Park was off the beaten path and a beautiful, secluded spot on the black lava cliffs overlooking the ocean. Every morning we watch the sunrise and whales swim by everything was available in the house and our hosts are extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your peace of paradise with us, we really enjoyed our visit.

Cute and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was very, very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The bedroom also had an AC which worked great. In fact, after the first night, we felt it got cold and we ended up just opening the windows and turning the fans on. There were two bicycles with helmets for the guests to use which we happily did. And it was wonderful having a washer and dryer in the house itself. There was also a barbecue in the backyard, which was very clean and it was nice to be able to sit outdoors and enjoy the ocean view.You can hear the ocean waves from the bedroom and the coqui frogs were kept at a nice comfortable distance that they never were bothersome.We would stay with John and Maria again.

Amazing!

The combination of the sunrise views and the waves crashing ashore made this a wonderful stay. The house was clean and very well appointed. There is all kinds of beach gear as well as two bikes for guest use.There are local frogs that are quite noisy at night.while.it is a bit of a drive to get anywhere but it is a beautiful drive. Would definitely stay again.
