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!

John and Maria were excellent hosts. Location is very quiet and located right on the Kea'eau coast, in a neighborhood. The only "negative" we could say is that traffic around Hilo / Keà'eau can be brutal in the morning and evening rush hours - just plan your movements around that. Its about 40-45 minutes to Volcanos NP with good traffic. The rental was very nice with a small kitchen, very comfortable bed and lots of amenities ( washer dryer, snorkeling gear, bicycles, etc. Easy walk from the rental to the lava cliffs / coastline. No direct beach access but absolutely stunning views. If youre looking for quiet and peaceful, and dont mind a bit of a drive to get it, check this property out. We highly recommend it.

I've been a vacation rental property manager since 1996, and this is the best-equipped property I’ve ever seen. I always try to provide everything a guest might need at my own properties, but this one goes above and beyond! Peaceful and quiet.

A beautiful place

This place is beautiful and spacious. The greatest thing for us traveling for long period was having washer and dryer within the unit. The house provides a beautiful sea view but is located at the end of the road, so you will be driving a couple of minutes from the main road.

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.
