When you walk through the front door, the Ocean view is breathtaking! Unobstructed ocean views from every room in the house! Our expansive resort style home is only 500 feet from the ocean, on a gentle slope, with 180 degree ocean views, and sunset views every day of the year! Five specious bedrooms all have balconies with an ocean view, and each room can be entered privately. The large, covered lanai provides a stunning open view from the house facing the ocean, with mahogany floors flowing from inside to outside seamlessly through 38 ft pocket sliders.
The house is a gem with its huge size, great location and top amenities. It is superbly spacious, with 4331 sq.ft plus 2000 sq. ft. of covered lanais. It is equipped with everything you can think of for a luxury vacation home, including a gourmet kitchen with professional Viking appliances and kitchen supplies, huge family room and recreation room equipped with ping-pong, pool table, foosball…, and wi-fi everywhere in the house!
Another not-to-miss feature: we have a most beautiful Koa king bed in the master suite, handcrafted by Hawaii local craftsmen. It is a work of art, and so solidly built to provide comfort and soulful companionship to our guests.
The main floor has three bedrooms, along with the great room and kitchen. The ground floor has two more bedrooms, along with the recreation room. There are two full baths and a half bath on the main, and two full baths and a half bath on the ground level. The main floor goes out to the covered lanai with outdoor grill and dining, sitting area, which further goes out to the infinity pool and spa area. The ground floor opens to a lower lanai and a large lawn, also facing the ocean, with another outdoor sitting area. The large lawn is great for light sports, and playtime with the kids.
The house is located in a private gated development. It is so serene that all you hear are the ocean waves and birds singing. It is only 4 miles from Spencer Beach, and just 10 minutes drive to Hapuna Beach State Park, one of the top white sand beaches in the world! Three minutes south of the house is the quaint, historic town of Kawaihae. There you will find restaurants, a fresh fish market, fruit, vegetable and flower market, a dive shop and catamaran cruises. It's a 20 minute drive up to the beautiful ranch town of Waimea, and 40 minutes to the airport and Kona. With only 10 minutes to Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince Resorts, you can easily access the many resort shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis facilities.
With its deep ocean pockets, right in front of out house is about the best place on the island for whale watching. Dive boats anchor in front of the house, which is one of the favorite dive spots on the Kohala Coast. Many of our guests say it is the best snorkeling they have ever had. On the 4th of July and New Years Eve you can watch the fireworks on our lanai. And with the special location of the house, we have gorgeous and unique sunsets each night, 365 days a year.
There are many activities nearby including golf, tennis, diving, sailing, fishing, zip-lining, hiking, surfing and more. But, you may want to relax at the house and sip mai tais by the pool, play...

This property was truly an amazing place to stay to celebrate my late father with a family reunion. The house is beautiful and the views of the ocean are stunning. We saw whales and dolphins swimming just offshore. The property manager was very great to work with and very responsive when we had two minor issues, including one on Thanksgiving Day. I would highly recommend this property. It is truly like staying at your own private resort. We had nine people and there was space for everyone. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, the kitchen was expansive and awesome, the game room was a lot of fun, and the pool and spa were the best! Would love to stay here again!

The house is perfect for a family. Each person had their own room with a lanai and most had their own bathroom. The infinity pool is awesome with an incredible view. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking on the Viking stove or the Viking barbecue. A lot of details are well thought out so it is comfortable and has everything you could want for a memorable vacation. The gated neighborhood is top drawer and private. It's close to the best fish market on the whole island, many nice beaches and a couple super fun restaurants that mostly locals go to. Loved it!!

The view is the best part about this home - everywhere you look from the back patio is beautiful. We even saw some dolphins one morning!
However, the lack of air conditioning in the main areas would prevent us from booking this home again. While this was mentioned in the property details, we wrongly assumed the ocean breeze would cool these spaces. Even with all available fans on high, it felt unbearably hot, especially in the afternoons and while cooking. For reference, we stayed in Sept/Oct, with high temps between 70-75 F and 75-100% humidity. Unfortunately, the heat was often so stifling, the group would retreat to their individual bedrooms with AC instead of spending time together in the common areas.
One other item to note: there is no bathtub in the entire home. I believe it has six bathrooms but not one has a tub. This was challenging with two babies.
With all that said, again, the views are incredible. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. We very much appreciated the bowl of tropical fruits upon arrival. We had a couple small issues with the refrigerator and a bedroom's AC and the owners/property manager were kind and responded promptly. The pool was large, clean and refreshing. If you don’t mind the lack of air conditioning, or if you visit during a cooler part of the year, I’m sure this property would be perfect for you!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. The home and property are perfect. We couldn’t have picked a better property. Owners (Julie and Tim) were great to work with and so was the property manager, Dani. If you are looking for paradise, look no further!

I am alway a bit nervous when I rent a property sight unseen. Rarely do pictures portray accurately. My entire family was pleasantly surprised, from the initial peek from the road, to the stunning environment inside this home. Decor was very classic with appreciation of art displayed all around. This home was perfect for our very special celebration. We hired a recommended personal chef to shop before we arrived. Not having to stress over the time it takes to get here or there finding groceries was a vacation life saver!! The food she cooked for our big dinner was beautifully prepared and presented with delicious Hawaiin overtones. I highly recommend this splurge for something as epic as a 50th!
The kids especially loved the infinity pool and most house -provided snorkels worked great for our needs. Lots of private spaces available to chill plus an amazing game room for kids and adults. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for sharing this gem with us. Truly exceptional!

The property was beautiful. There was enough room for all 10 of us to have our own space. The view from the deck was beautiful. We could see dolphins jumping in the ocean. None of us wanted to leave at the end of our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

A beautiful, comfortable and spacious home with a fabulous ocean view. This home was furnished nicely and the kitchen has everything you will ever need. Plenty of room for the eight of us. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the game room was a hit with the younger adults. While the home is about 45 minutes from the Kona airport, it was a perfect central location for all our activities. Will come again.

The house and its interior are very accurately pictured on the VRBO site. The decor and accommodations were exceptional. Each room's appointments were reflective of the island and Hawaiian culture. We spent each morning and evening on the veranda enjoying the view out over the water. The house created a very positive memory for each of us.

Beautiful home with sweeping views of the ocean. Grateful we stayed there during peak whale watching season. The rooms are spread out, giving privacy to all the guests. The host was very friendly and responsive. I definitely recommend staying there if you have the opportunity!

My group had the best visit to this amazing home on the Big Island. The property was everything we expected and more. The views from this house are absolutely breathtaking and the neighborhood it's in is very quiet -- barely any cars were seen driving the entire time we were there. The rooms are great and allowed privacy for each guest. The house was very clean and had everything you would need. We had a direct line to a local contact should anything arise, which nothing did. It was one of the best vacations our group has ever taken together. We would love to stay again!
