Our stunning Hawaiian Paradise home, nestled just a few blocks from the waterfront village of Kona, Hawaii, within a private gated community of luxury homes, is a masterpiece of unique architectural features. This custom Hawaiian home, designed to be as tropical as possible, boasts a nearly constant year-round temperature in the 80s and a refreshing ocean breeze. Overlooking the crashing waves on the lava-and-sand beach, the home features a designer infinity pool with two waterfalls, a sand- and rock-bottom wading pool, huge lanais, and two courtyard ponds, each with its own waterfall, all set in a 'Jurassic' garden. A private 'island' dining patio is next to the pool waterfall, offering a breathtaking view of the dramatic Kona surf. The house comes fully furnished with a designer dream kitchen, open-air oceanfront dining room, kitchen bar, living room, entertainment room, an unbelievable Master Suite with panoramic ocean views, a pampered oceanview study, two Tropical Guest Suites, each with its own separate entrance and opening onto the lush courtyard and waterfalls, and a separate Family Cottage Suite with its own bar sink, microwave, coffee maker, sitting area, and Lanai. The master suite comes with its private whale-watching tower! The house sleeps eight, two in each Suite, plus futons for young children up to 10 years old.

'HALE KONA A'EKAI' is a unique oceanfront private custom home, meaning 'the home by the wash of the sea.' It was intricately designed to capture the essence of waterfront Hawaiian living. Thatched ceilings, open walls, louvered teak windows, ten-foot teak doors, endless lanais, and tropical landscaping all help to capture the spirit of the islands. The house is exquisitely detailed, with imported teak, bamboo, marble, granite, and quartzite. The home has been featured in several magazines. The grounds are equally impressive, with rare tropical flowers and palms, four waterfalls, and a stunningly remarkable bathing pool with an infinity edge. A stairway bridge takes you across to the island pedestal, where you can lavish in a dinner surrounded by water with simultaneous views of the sunset, waterfalls, and the crash of the waves! Enchanting, magical, and romantic—there is so much more to describe—but you must see it for yourself! Unsurpassed luxury. Stay with us and experience the mystique and beauty of the Big Island, with its stunning, panoramic views that will captivate and inspire you!

MAIN HOUSE LIVING AREA: Large open oceanfront living area includes:

KITCHEN: This teakwood and solid granite dream kitchen includes all the appliances, including a separate beverage cooler, warming drawer, vegetable sink, double ovens, and a 6-burner stove.

LIVING ROOM: Bamboo furniture enhances the tropical feel of this high-ceilinged, open living area, which extends onto the Lanai. There is an area to sit and enjoy the ocean views and the infinity pool, a more private area for conversation, and an entertainment area to enjoy the TV streaming a movie or listen to relaxing music on our Bluetooth sound bar.

DINING: Enjoy the sunset while sipping Mai Tais on the whale watch tower. Don't forget to look for the 'green flash!' Dine at the six-seat bamboo dining table that borders the Lanai with open-air ocean views, sit for pupus (appetizers) at the granite bar, or take dinner out to one of the ocean-side teak tables to enjoy the sound of the dramatic nearby surf while dining under the bright Kona stars. The experience is mystical!

Please Note: This is a tropical home with open-air louvered windows. There is no need for air conditioning, as the nearly constant ocean trade winds fan a delightful gentle breeze from over the water during the day and from the mountains at night. You'll enjoy the natural tropical feeling.

The property is equipped with external security cameras for your peace of mind. The community is patrolled 24/7 by security guards. The security camera is installed at the entrance gate, overlooking the front entrance and driveway. There are exterior perimeter cameras on both adjacent neighboring homes that may have a partial view of the outside property that is also clearly visible to the general public and where no reasonable expectation of privacy should be expected. This ensures that you can enjoy your stay in this tropical paradise with complete privacy and peace of mind.

    The home was so much better than the pictures even. We did some excursions, but I would have been just as happy staying at the home. Perfect location! Paradise! My grown son and his girlfriend, as well as my teenage daughter traveled with my husband and I. The layout of the home was more than ideal for everyone to be separate with privacy, but together in the amazing kitchen when we wanted to be together! I couldn’t believe how well stocked the home was. Will definitely be back! Didn’t want to leave in the first place!

    Amazing, unique property. Very much an outdoor experience as the house is extremely open to the outdoors having zero glass in the windows - just wooden slats. As such, no a/c - hot. And huge amounts of bug bites...all beds had mosquito netting, but it didn't work. Each of us had at least 50 bug bites by the end of the trip and were having to apply calamine lotion, etc. So, if you want an outdoor experience and don't mind not having temperature control and don't mind being eaten by bugs and chasing birds out of the house....amazing.

    Great location and lovely house! We felt like we were walking into paradise and we had a great week. The pool and view were perfect for our family. Being able to walk a short way to a perfect beach as well as the short drive into town really made things stress free. The bedroom areas are roomy and private. The kitchen is very well stocked. The stove/oven and microwave definetly could use an update as well as having to light the BBQ with a lighter but we were able to have great family meals. Any questions or concerns we had were handled quickly and so pleasantly. We appreciated the many quality pool towels as well as chairs and 'toys' we could use in the pool and take to the beach. This was a splurge vacation for our family and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the sunsets daily.

    Beautiful, stunning home. We were a group of 8 and everybody had more than enough space. It is completely open, which took a little bit of getting used to the first couple of nights, but the neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. We also had to adjust to sharing the home with a few bugs, lizards, and sleeping with fans. But being right on the ocean was more than worth it. The ocean breeze and the rain made our stay very comfortable. Definitely an amazing Hawaiian experience.

    Great location, beautiful home. Ample room for our 3 families. Mae our hostess was outstanding. Description of property was accurate but room for improvements. House needs AC, fans and ocean breeze is not nearly enough. The waterfalls are all on timers that are controlled by the owner which is fine but they don’t run long enough, especially the ones in the courtyard…those should run throughout the night so that the back rooms can enjoy them while they’re sleeping. Kitchen oven and stove need to be replaced. We couldn’t get the bottom oven to work and not all burners work on the stove. Kitchen pantry needs to be cleaned out, there are items in there that have been expired for years. Overall we had a great time, but how could we not. We were in Hawaii after all!

    Beautiful, wonderful, clean, spacious, all that we hoped for. Bath tub in accommodations above garage needs a mat - very slippery, slipped instantly and hit ribs on side of tub. Hurt for whole trip but still enjoyed stay very much. Would come back anytime. Get a mat please!! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

    We booked a stay at this special listing for our family vacation with our adult children and their spouses. Each felt the property was a highlight of our trip. Coffee in the morning by the pool overlooking the oceanfront was a favorite of everyone. The pool and lounging was wonderful. The open air environment was great. Be sure to use the fans at night for extra airflow. Kitchen was well stocked. And the tour of the property at Check-in was very helpful. Also the property is located in a gated housing division with 24-hour surveillance for extra security. It is a very special place and we would stay again. It really was so much better than the photos.

    During an exceptionally cold winter, it was heaven to spend a wonderful week basking poolside in the warm breezes watching the whales and boats go by. The house is beautiful and nicely outfitted, very open with the feel of Hawaii throughout. But for me it was all about the view!

    Stayed with two families, with 5 children under 10. House entrance is gorgeous with all kinds of interesting plants and water features to explore with littles. The main area is breathtaking and while it took some time to acclimate to no AC it was worth it. The layout of the property was a little unclear (main house has master bedroom upstairs , then a separate whole unit above garage, and another unit with 2 bedrooms on ground level and even with large fans it stayed pretty hot all night. Probably biggest and only real “complaint”. The noise rules were mostly reasonable to follow, although more challenging in the mornings to keep kids quiet than evening! But again, not a huge issue. House manager was very nice and responsive although we didn’t need anything after check in. A few helpful thoughts for future families: 1) there was not much in way of beach toys. Most houses this size have an array of beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. there was an old umbrella and a few pairs of fins but not much else. 2) the Keiki beach just down the way is nice for little (under 6 or so) ones but pretty boring for older kids. Don’t expect to spend much time there. 3) the open air concept took some acclimating to but then it was wonderful! 4) there’s mosquitos! Use the bed netting and bug spray.
