Welcome to your dream Hawaiian getaway—where world-class surf, vibrant marine life, and breathtaking views converge right outside your door. Located on world famous Alii Drive just south of Kona Town, our amazing home sits directly oceanfront on beautiful Holualoa Bay. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, an expansive Lanai, 2 kitchens and 2 living areas, there is room for your next family vacation or group retreat. Set just feet from the water, you'll enjoy amazing views, a spacious yard, refreshing pool and a relaxing hot tub. Perched directly above the legendary Lymans surf break and just across the bay from iconic Banyans, this oceanfront retreat is a haven for wave riders and ocean lovers alike. When the waves settle, the waters out front become a snorkeler’s paradise, revealing colorful tropical fish, graceful sea turtles, and even seasonal whale sightings—all visible from the comfort of your lanai and backyard.
The heart of the home is an open-concept, traditional Hawaiian-style great room with soaring vaulted ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors that open wide to a spacious waterfront lanai—blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The recently remodeled kitchen is fully equipped for preparing fresh island meals, while the ocean breeze and dual ceiling fans keep the upstairs living area well ventilated and comfortable. The huge upper Lanai has a double dining table with seating for 12, an outdoor day bed, and a padded loveseat and chairs for al fresco dining and lounging.
Each of the five bedrooms offers comfort and privacy, all with their own AC units. The primary upstairs suite features a king bed, lanai access, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a spa-like soaking tub and huge open shower. A second upstairs suite also has a king bed, panoramic ocean views, and a newly updated private bathroom. The third upstairs bedroom includes another king bed and stunning views of the coastline.
Downstairs, a separate living and dining area with a full kitchen opens directly to the oceanfront yard—perfect for large families or groups. The downstairs lounge includes a twin daybed with a trundle, and two additional bedrooms provide flexible sleeping options: a bunk room with a twin-over-full bed and daybed with trundle, and a fifth bedroom with two twin beds and sliding glass doors to the lanai.
Your private oceanfront oasis spans an impressive 160 feet of shoreline. Lounge in the sun by the pool or retreat to the shaded lower lanai surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Relax in a hammock, test your skills on the putting green, enjoy a BBQ at the outdoor dining area, or soak in the 5-person hot tub perched right at the ocean’s edge. Whether you're sipping morning coffee and watching the waves or gathering for a sunset toast, every moment here is picture-perfect.
This extraordinary home offers an unmatched Hawaiian experience—blending adventure, relaxation, and the soothing rhythms of the Pacific in one unforgettable setting.
Other things to note:
Swimming Pool:
Some guests have commented that the pool is smaller than it appears in the pictures. It is 30’ long and 15’ across at the wide end and tapers to about 4’ wide at the waterfall. It is about 32-42 inches deep. It is not heated so can be a bit cool on the coldest days of the year. The hot tub is steps away if you need a warmer option. The majority of the time the water temperature is perfectly comfortable and a great way to cool off. The pool is professionally serviced between each reservation. During and after rare excessively rainy periods, organic material from the surrounding landscaping can wash into the pool causing it to get cloudy. It may take some time for the water to filter and become clear again. We unfortunately cannot guarantee the pool clarity during these events.
Parking:
The home sits between the beautiful Lyman’s Bay and Alii drive which is the main ocean front street in Kona. The garage 17-18’ deep and about 20 feet wide. It has 2 stalls large enough to accommodate most standard size vehicles (4 door jeeps, mid to full size cars, mini vans etc.) The driveway is about 16’ deep and 24’ wide and will accommodate a larger vehicle parked parallel to the. Alii is a busier road so traffic mirrors have been installed adjacent to and across from the driveway to aid in pulling out from the house. We recommend backing vehicles in to the garage and driveway for the easiest parking and departing experience.
Location & Nature:
Our property is immediately adjacent to Holualoa Bay, the famous Lymans surf break and Kamoa Point/ Kaluaokalani state park. Due to the tropical nature of Hawaii as well as the large areas of adjacent land preserves you may encounter occasional insects, geckos, various bird species, or maybe even a mongoose at the property during your stay. A professional pest service treats the exterior of the property every 2 weeks but on unusual occasions centipedes or native cockroaches may get by. Mosquitos are rare but in certain seasons flying insects may be attracted to the house lights at night. The adjacent ocean access is popular with both locals and tourist a like. When the waves are breaking surfers often traverse in front of the North corner of the property to access the waves out front.
Ocean Front Living & Maintenance:
This property is about as close the water as you can get without being on a boat. The spectacular setting does come with some maintenance challenges. In the warm salt air environment, outdoor furniture, grills, and AC units start to corrode within months of being replaced. Items are regularly refurbished and replaced, but as with other ocean front properties you may see some signs of accelerated wear around the property.
Exceptional Value:
We are excited to host you in this world class oceanfront location. We hope you have an amazing stay and appreciate just how special it is to stay in one of the only homes on the famous Holoualoa Bay. We believe we provide an incredible value, especially for larger groups to gather with our 5 bedrooms, multiple living areas, 2 kitchens, private pool and hot tub, 2 covered lanais, and a large private yard. And did we mention the views? While high-end resorts like the Four Seasons, Mauna Lana or Mauna Kea will likely offer you a more polished experience, a single room at one of those properties often costs as much as your stay in this entire home—perfect for larger groups looking for a stunning yet affordable getaway. Please keep this value in mind when booking and staying at our amazing home.
Air conditioning:
Each bedroom and the downstairs living room has a separate wall or window mounted AC unit. The main upstairs living area and adjacent Lanai are open air spaces with ceiling fans, but no AC. The sea breeze and vented ceiling keep the living area and lanai comfortable but if you are sensitive to heat and humidity you may find the space a bit warm at times.
Appliances:
The majority of the appliances have been upgraded with new units in the past few years. The two kitchens provide a back-up fridge, dishwasher, range and microwave. There is also a compact washer dryer upstairs and full-size units downstair. Given this redundancy, in the unlikely event a single appliance needs repair and can’t be immediately fixed during your stay we are unable to provide refunds.
History:
Holualoa Bay is one of Hawaii’s legendary royal centers. Local history and lore tells us that prior to Western contact, only the highest-ranking Hawaiian royalty gathered here for religious, educational, and residential purposes.
• Kamehameha the Great—Hawaii’s most revered king—learned to surf in Holualoa Bay in the 1770s.
• After rising to power, he stored his war god, Kūkaʻilimoku, at Kamoa Point, part of the Government-preserved lands adjacent to the property.
• The area’s ancient Hawaiian village was called Kaluaokalani, meaning “Heaven on Earth.”
Today, this spectacular oceanfront home sits in a historic and highly desirable location, offering unparalleled views of the turquoise bay, swaying coconut groves, world-class surf, and breathtaking Kona sunsets.
We can’t wait to host you— and have you experience the magic of Kona from your own private oceanfront paradise!
