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 bocce ball on the lawn, have a sunset drink on the large lanai overlooking the ocean and have a BBQ on the biggest built-in viking grill you have ever seen.
The house is perfect for special celebrations, family reunions, and a couple’s retreat. It is also a great training spot for the Ironman triathalon in October. There are two beautiful outdoor showers which are convenient for rinsing off sand and dirt after a day's beach outing or biking/boating. The whole house is decorated in a Hawaiian/Indonesian resort style. Many rich hardwoods and natural materials have been used. The infinity edge pool looks like it flows into the ocean, there are lounge chairs on quartzite stone pool deck and on the lower lanai beside the lawn. The whole feel of the house is serene, open and expansive.
So if you are looking for a dream vacation home for a special celebration, vacation or reunion, this one is a gem that is hard to come by. Superb location at the gated Kohala Waterfront, on one acre of private, landscaped gardens 500 feet from the Ocean. Spectacular ocean views, beautiful house, top amenities, privacy and serenity, easy access to tourist activities without the hassle and bustle of the tourist crowds at a resort. What’s more, the whales come in so close they sound like they're playing in the swimming pool during whale season, and you see sunsets all year round. Minutes drive to the best beaches (Mauna Kea and Hapuna) on the whole island. Resort amenities, restaurants, diving, snorkeling, tennis, golf and much more.

Just returned from a week at this amazing rental property and I have nothing but positive words to share! Julie (owner) and Dani (property manager) were so incredibly thorough and helpful and the house was exactly as advertised and then some! We had a little bit of confusion around who was going to meet us at the house, but it was so easy to reach folks via phone and text, and we got everything sorted out really quickly and were still able to enter at the designated check-in time. The house is B E A U T I F U L and very spacious, and every single room has a view of the ocean. I slept in the most modest bedroom in the house and was still completely comfortable and enjoyed a gorgeous view. The pool and spa are delightful, the kitchen is appointed with absolutely everything you could possibly need, and there are leftovers in the pantry and liquor cabinet from previous guests, so definitely check to see what's there before you do your grocery shopping! The location is a little bit remote in terms of activity, so be prepared with a rental car and to drive to do things in Kona or Hilo. But there are absolutely gorgeous beaches within just a few minutes of the house. We loved Hapuna State Park beach, Spencer Beach, and Beach 69, all within just 10 minutes of the house. There IS leftover snorkel gear at the house, as well as plenty of beach and pool equipment, so we never wanted for anything. You'll enjoy huge panoramic views of the ocean. We saw big pods of dolphins go by almost every day. You'll also be visited by many, many geckos on the lanais. :) 10/10 vacation rental, would absolutely stay again.
The property was beautiful and the views were amazing! No air conditioning in the main part of the home made it changeling when trying to cook family meals for 7 people. Some movable stand fans would be nice, but overall the place was pure heaven and we hope to return!
Perfect house for 5 couples. Location stupendous. Less crowded area of island.House had great amenities. Well stocked. Would highly recommend
The house has an amazing layout for family or small groups of adults. The open living room and kitchen has panoramic views of the ocean. The split floor plan allows for ultimate privacy. The Master has and outdoor entrance from the living room and all 4 other bedrooms are on the opposite side. Every room has a private outdoor entrance! There is AC in each bedroom which make the rooms a perfect sleeping temperature. The pool is obviously the best part of the whole house! The views are amazing. The hot tub gets pretty warm in 5-10 min. There is adequate lounge chairs for all guests. There is a huge basket with SO many beach towels available. There are several pool toys. The back porch is where we spent most of our time. There is a large table with perfect views of the ocean and a nice outdoor couch. The master has a beautiful hand carved Koa wood bed that is super sturdy ;) The master shower is huge with multiple shower heads and a beautiful ocean view. The master closet is large and I appreciated the hamper for a long stay. The beds an pillows are comfortable. There is a USB charging station with several ports at every bedside. Everything in the whole house is labeled so you never have to go searching for what you need. Even the light switches so you know which does what! The high chair and pack n play was perfect for not needing to trek along extra stuff for our baby. We found the liquor cabinet the last night so we were able to donate a few bottles to the community collection! There was also a super sweet bouquet of fruit and a nice card on the counter when we arrived. The coffee maker broke a few days into our stay and I let Dani know and she had us a new on the very next day! The house is in a small gated community that feels super safe. Quiet and a little remote but still close enough to enjoy some of the nearby amenities. The beach is only 8 min away by car and was a beautiful beach! Perfect sand and without significant rocks or algae. There are also chairs, umbrellas, and a bucket of beach toys available to use. There are several places to eat at nearby resorts. There WAS construction going on while we were there but if I hadn’t read the reviews prior and wasnt listening for it I don’t think it would have even stood out. It didn’t bother me at all and we spent almost everyday of our 11 day stay in the pool. Based on the entire rest of the experience I would say there is no way this would prevent me from staying here hands down! 100% YES
We had a wonderful vacation. This house is absolutely gorgeous. Everything about it was perfect. It was very well stocked with everything you could want. It even had a collection of liquor that we added to as well. The view of the ocean is amazing.. and when we didn't want to leave the house we didn't need to. There was something for everyone to do. This vacation made my year.. I can't wait to return next year.
From the beginning of the booking process everything was organized, smooth and clear. The property was absolutely gorgeous, well stocked with everything we would need for a week away from home. Our girls loved seeing rainbows and dolphins from the pool, and watching sunsets over the ocean at dinner. Any questions or concerns were promptly answered by the property manager. We would recommend Kohala Dream to anyone visiting Hawaii, and plan to return sooner than later.
This is a truly remarkable property with a fantastic ocean view and infinity pool. Very comfortable for a large group. The outdoor space is great for lounging, sunning, and taking a dip in the pool. The heated spa was great for sore muscles. As we always do at the Big Island, we snorkeled like crazy at nearby spots. The house was clean and everything was in good working order. Communications with the property manager went very smoothly. We hope to return some day!!
Our stay was wonderful. Very well outfitted home. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. You’ll never beat the views either. We felt blessed to stay in this lovely Hawaiian paradise!
Everything about this home was beautiful & we had the best time! The property manager & the owners were very responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!!
The view, the pool, the location and the master bath make this a no brainer. Book it. Our family had a beautiful time. Also, we booked Chef Kathy for a few meals (most importantly our arrival day) and it was wonderful. Well appointed kitchen and comfy spaces.
