vrKCV - Kona Bay Estates Hale Kai Olu, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations
Home away from home. Peace. Tranquility. Beauty. Photos won't do this home justice.
This home is everything you look for during your Hawaii vacation. Four bedrooms in the main house, one down and three on the second floor. The master bedroom has a California king bed, two bedrooms have queen beds and the downstairs bedroom is a double bed. A built-in daybed in the family room can sleep someone as well. A separate ohana unit over the garage with a California king bed, including all the amenities, completes a home that will embrace you, your family and friends with the peace and tranquility that comes from living on the ocean. Sleep at night with the harmony of the waves caressing the shore and wake in the morning to the cheerful sounds of myna birds and the cooing of doves. Enjoy breakfast on the gazebo lanai and watch for dolphins while you sip your morning Kona coffee.
This is a beloved custom-built family home where I raised my children. Our architect and designer is a master at creating living spaces which capture the local trade winds, keeping our home cool most of the year with a rare need for air conditioning. These walls have been blessed with laughter, love and celebrations for many years, and now, this home is available for you to create your own memories. I apologize in advance but "Mika" the neighborhood kitty of 16 yrs may be seen milling around with a friendly hello.
Hale Kai Olu is located in a private community with a 24-hour guarded gate. Situated right on the shoreline with gorgeous views of Kona Village, you will enjoy your own private beach with inviting hammocks, salt water pool. Walk a few steps to our local swimming lagoon that is connected to the open sea. A complete kitchen with everything you need is here for you if you choose to cook—but if you want to eat out, there are many local restaurants with a varied choice of menu items; such as fresh salads, craft beer and pizza at the Kona Brewing Company, interesting local poke and juicy burgers at Umeke's, and great Thai food at Thai Orchid, all within a five minute walk from your front door. Or take a leisurely 10-minute stroll to Kona Village right around the corner for many more wonderful restaurant choices, as well as interesting and diverse shops.
With only a 10-15-minute drive from the airport, we are close to everything that you would possibly need. Five-minute drive to Target and Macy's, ten minutes to Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart. Safeway is 10 minutes and our local grocery store, KTA is five minutes from the house. If you like farmer's markets, you can visit one each Wednesday close to home, venture a little further on Saturday to the Keauhou Shopping Center, or for the best on the Island take an early morning drive up to cool breezes in Waimea and visit the three Saturday farmer's markets. There are Big Island offerings for adventure and excitement to everyone's taste that are too numerous to list, with multiple terrains and scenic options to choose from—beaches, snorkeling, hiking, waterfalls, horseback riding, restaurants and experiences galore. When you have finished your day of adventure, return home to your personal paradise to relax, rest and refresh.
Hale Kai Olu means, “Home by the calm and pleasing sea.” When you stay at Hale Kai Olu you will see and feel for yourself the true meaning of our ...

The decor was amazing! The pool is smaller than it appears in the photos but we really enjoyed this home.

The location of this house is perhaps the best you can find. Within the gated community, on the ocean and walking distance from town... just not sure you can find this combo anywhere else. We were a group of colleagues who enjoyed our stay here. The sunsets on the back porch or from the pool were epic. Note to future guests, what appears to be a hot tub in the photos is actually only heated for two hours (6-8pm) a day. We'd definitely come back!

Our stay at this beautiful property was a dream come true! There were nine adults and one toddler and not once were we lacking for space. We took full advantage of the outdoor pool area, the bbq and the nearby Keiki beach. Each morning we were in the pool around 7 am , we went sightseeing after breakfast and returned in the afternoon to go back in the pool or to the beach and cooked dinner for everyone in the well stocked kitchen. We got the chance to get to know our new Australian ohana and celebrate all of us being together. What a memorable vacation! Thank you for the chance to let us come together under your roof and to enjoy the island of Hawaii!

We stayed with another family whilst fishing a tournament that left everyday from the local pier. We happily and easily walked it which made life so much easier! You can walk easily to the main street of restaurants but UBERS were also very easy to get. The house was spoilt for choice with rooms. We did find the downstairs bedroom allthough large in itself the bed size was more like a double. Not a queen. The pool and proximity to the beach is definitely the highlight! Kitchen is well equipped just needs some sharp knives or steak knives! We also only found a few pool towels which they requested you use over the bathroom towels (there were plenty of those!) Lastly it has a "hot tub" but it doesnt get hot! The property is in a gated community and makes you feel so safe. We really did have such a good time and we would go back in a heartbeat.

As a family of eight, ranging in age from age 2 to 63, we all enjoyed the house, its pool, hot tub, reefs and location to the tide pools. The house is also conveniently located to nearby stores and restaurants. This large house had enough comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, including a detached Ohana. The great room was a wonderful gathering place, and right off the dining room and kitchen so we could all be together when we wanted, but rooms to retreat to for quiet time. The house is lovely and well appointed for every visitors' needs. The A/C worked well, and ceiling fans made our nights very comfortable.
The best part of the house is its location. The sunsets were amazing and we will cherish the memories we made, especially since we all live in different parts of the world today and our time together is precious.
We would recommend this house for any large family or group. We also appreciated the help from the house's management company's concierge, David, who helped us arrange special family events, such as family pictures, a private chef and excursions.
We hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did. Mahalo and Aloha!

This home was even more welcoming and spacious than the listing conveys. Comfortable, spacious and well apportioned, and it’s beach side location is perfect - a feeling of your own “private beach” within a gated community, and the convenience of nearby shops and restaurants.

Our 9 member 3 generation family was celebrating 3 graduations. Great amenities and location. We especially enjoyed to pool right at ocean front, the fireworks viewing from the deck and the beautiful sunsets from the front wall. KVC responded promptly to any concerns we had, which were minor.

This was our dream to bring our family to Hawaii.
We chose this home because we were sure we could walk to town, being on the beach, having a pool, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for the 10 of us. Would love to do it again!
