About this property

Oceanfront Private Home on Kahalu'u Bay with Pool


Private comfortable rustic bungalow home where your backyard is the ocean. Beautiful oceanfront setting where the waves splash against your lanai. The master bedroom located about 35 feet from the ocean. Relax in your own pool touched by ocean spray. Yellow tangs (Lau'ipala) abound just on the other side of the seawall. Dophins (Nai’a) play beyond the reef and seasonal whales (koholā) cruise by.

We have one of the most amazing locations on the entire stretch of Alii Drive! We're the first residence overlooking Kahalu'u Bay. The south side of our property is bordered by Ku'emanu Heiau an ancient Hawaiian temple that is dedicated to the sport of surfing. Adjacent to the temple is the historical St. Peter's Little Blue Church & Kahalu'u Beach Park, one of the best snorkeling spots on the entire island and only a two minute walk.

We welcome all visitors to enjoy our 1960's retro Hawaiian style home. Although not fancy, our amazing comfortable family home comes with ocean-front living conditions in the tropics. Sunshine, tropical breezes, ocean spray and gorgeous sunsets! There are usually a few weeks in the summer/early fall of warm and humid temperatures, but overall Hawaii has pleasant weather throughout the year! We don't have air conditioning, but ceiling and portable fans and ocean breezes when needed. Experience aloha!

The house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, overhead ceiling fans (no AC), large private covered lanai, sun area, outdoor hot/cold shower, BBQ with outdoor dining area and swimming pool (solar heated) next to the ocean. Laundry room and off-street parking (carport).

Our home has spectacular ocean views for sunsets and whale, dolphin, and surfer watching. Although close to shops, restaurants, and downtown Kailua-Kona, privacy is assured. Moku o Keawe (Big Island) is a wonderful place to swim, snorkel, dive, boat, fish, surf, sail, kayak, golf, hike, horseback ride, shop, volcano watch and star gaze. Come and enjoy the Big Island of Hawaii . . . LIVE ALOHA!

Property was the perfect location as a “home base” as we attempted to squeeze in as much of the island as we could, in a short amount of time. Great to return back to the home located directly on the water. Sunset were amazing and the surf was wonderful to listen to late into the evening.

This home is amazing! You can sit on the back patio with morning coffee and watch the waves crash. Such a beautiful setting! It is the most relaxing time here! The home is private and comfortable. The owner is very responsive if you have questions and makes you feel very welcome. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Views

We absolutely loved the location of Julie’s house. We spent every waking moment at the house on the back patio and pool enjoying sunset views and watching the surfers. Surfing and snorkeling are next door and it’s hard to imagine a better location. The house has great tiki bar vibe and was equipped with everything we needed. The house needs a little deep cleaning and love but you quickly forget about it when you step out on the back porch. I hope to stay there again.

Oceanside Respite

It’s difficult to exaggerate the restful and understatedly classic ambiance of this oceanfront home. Highlighted by the tranquil rhythms of the waves lapping at the sea wall and the relaxing solar heated pool, the cottage’s traditional Hawaiian design and furnishings further accentuates a sense of timelessness that is both comfortably welcoming and unpretentious. In addition, the sense of privacy is truly engaging and it’s proximity to a wonderful beach for snorkeling as well as downtown Kona for restaurants and entertainment made this a singularly enjoyable vacation for me and my family.

Peaceful and secluded but near all needed amenities

Thank you, Julie, for sharing your place in paradise! The location and set up of the house allowed us to completely unplug from everything and relax while still having access to everything we wanted for the vacation. I got to sit on the lanai by the pool and watch family surfing in the bay. Walking to amazing snorkeling was a highlight. One rainy night we drove the quick 5 mins to the movie theater and watched a new release we’d been eyeing. Such a perfect location — hope to be back next year!

Amazing oceanfront home

This home has been decorated to give the feeling of a traditional Hawaiian home, with woven wall coverings and bamboo accents, and lots of carved wooden masks, vintage prints, and other fun decor. But the real star is the ocean, which is literally in the backyard! During our stay there was a storm and large swells so we had waves crashing against the sea wall and even over the wall on occasion! We also had calmer days when we walked a few hundred yards down the road to snorkel with colorful fish and sea turtles, and sat out on the lanai and watched people taking surfing lessons while we kept an eye out for the blows of humpback whales. The owner, Julie, was very responsive to any questions we had and gave us some great tips (ask her about feeding the eels). We plan to go back!

The Deck and the View

Really enjoyed our stay here in Kona. Almost took up surfing... felt left out watching the Surfers having our morning coffee, and then finishing the day up watching them and the sunset with a glass of wine. The description for this property is accurate but the view and deck are underrated. I am usually skeptical of claims of ocean views when listed, but this house delivered. There is a lot of charm in this traditional Hawaiian styled bungalow, Julie was amazing and a couple or small family will really enjoy their stay here. Would book again next time we are in Kona.

We absolutely loved our time on the Big Island and this house's location is incredible. Right next to snorkeling and a mellow surf break, and close to downtown. Julie was an excellent host and very responsive to questions. Super easy check in process and lots of great information provided beforehand. Will definitely rent this house again next time we are in Hawai'i!

Perfect spot on the Big Island

Great property right on the ocean. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It is close to the shops and town. The little bay next door is perfect for snorkeling, swimming and surfing. Lots of pots and pans and utensils for eating at home. Close to shopping center for pizza, sushi, Thai food etc. for take out or dining in. Wonderful lanai for eating and watching the sunset. Comfortable beds and lots of towels. Good showers and wifi.

Our first trip to Hawaii!

We absolutely loved the property! The location was the best in the area. We lounged by the pool everyday and watched the surfers and snorkelers. We saw sea turtles and so many yellow tangs right from the pool area. We loved to listen to the waves crashing on the rocks at night. The house was clean and decorated like an island tiki hut. Even though we chose not to cook, everything you would need to is there. It was great to have a washer and dryer on site too. Julie and David were great hosts. They had a small outside plumbing issue, that didn't effect us, and they attended to it right away. Very short drive to the main strip of shopping and restaurants. The sunsets were breathtaking! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back to the big island! We would rent this house again!

Great stay in paradise...

My wife and I had a great week at this rental. It backs right up to the ocean and has incredible sunsets every night. We would definitely rent this home again. Julie is very helpful through the whole rental process and was great to deal with. The only reason this is not 5 stars is that the pool needs a thorough cleaning. We still used the pool every day but it is fairly green at this point and needs to be scrubbed down. All in all you cannot go wrong with this rental. Mike - Omaha

This place had everything!

The house was very well equipped from cooking utensils, to beach toys, to bathroom necessities. Julie was VERY accommodating and was readily available to answer our questions. It was nice having a washer and dryer available. It would have been nice to have central air but I understand most homes don't have it. There were ceiling fans, floor fans and a nice breeze but coming from Michigan and 20 degree weather to 70 and 80 degree weather, it was warm by our standards.

Fantastic location in lovely Kona

This was our second stay here, so I guess that says it all. Julie's cozy Hawaiian house has all we need for our family of four. If you add the studio there's room for two more. The interior is very nicely done and clearly more personal with a distinct Hawaiian theme that you do not find in most other condos or houses that are up for rent in Kona. But most of all, the locaction is fantastic. While in Kona, you should make sure to travel around a bit a see all the musts on the Big Island, such as Mauna Kea, the volcano park etc. But if you feel like just relaxing and taking it easy, staying here will allow you to do just that. The only reason to leave the property will be do buy supplies at the nearby KTA. For the rest, you can enjoy Hawaii sunsets, turtles, palm trees, surf and corals right here. Simply perfect.
