Description of the Kailua Kona vacation home rental
Experience Big Island living and dining directly on the water along Alii Drive. Our property has direct access into the ocean; a large private garden with palms, lawns, flowers, surround the property and a lava rock pathway leads out to tidepools. This Hawaiian style beach home, decorated with Pacific and Asian accents, has been in our family since 1962 and was totally up-graded in 2007. There are many homes built directly on the water but few impart the same feeling as does this home with its openness and its easy access into the water for swimming, fishing and snorkeling.
The main living space is upstairs with an open kitchen, dining area, sitting area and outside porch all blended together. From every room are views of the ocean, the mountains and a large, private garden. One can see the ocean while sitting in bed.
The master bathroom with queen bed is upstairs.
Downstairs features two large bedrooms with ocean views, one with two double beds and a second with king bed. Adjoining is a floor-to-ceiling-tiled bathroom with a huge shower, large enough for partying!
Downstairs laundry room features washer, dryer, beach chairs, beach towels, dive masks, fins, hammocks, snorkels, golfclubs and fishing gear.
Experience island luxury with two new bathrooms, wall-to-wall carpeting and bamboo flooring throughout the living areas and granite-topped built-in kitchen.
The home and property include tidepools and old lava flows extending out into the water. From the porch are views 5 miles north to the cruise ships moored in Kailua Bay and 1/2 mile south to Kahalu'u Bay and the Keauhou-Sheraton Beach Hotel. Looking out the kitchen window is a clear mountain view of the extinct volcano Hualalai. Runners pass by our house during the Ironman held each October.
This family-owned home lies 4 1/2 miles south of the town of Kailua-Kona directly on the water. It is 12 miles south of the airport. Lawns, native trees, palms, an old Hawaiian well and old Hawaiian walls surround the property. One can walk down the steps from our porch across coral and lava to tidepools and a shelf which drops down into the water. One can pluck off the rocks fresh limpets and sea urchin for their roe from the tidepools. Snorkling above the coral reef off our point is outstanding; the swim down to Kahalu'u Bay along the shoreline is 1/2 mile. Kahalu'u Bay is noted for its colorful variety of fish and sea turtles which forage off the coral and lava. The bay is a snorkeler's dream. Nearby is the tiny blue and white St Peter's Church. Off St. Peter's is excellent board surfing.
The house is a 1/2 mile walk north to White Sands Beach and a 1/2 mile walk south to Kahalu'u Bay.
During the winter months, humpback whales are sighted off our porch. Throughout the entire year, one can watch spinner dolphin, out-rigger canoe paddlers, distance swimmers and local dive boats which head head south to Captain Cook's Monument. In the evening, live Hawaiian music filters through the glows of sunset, as it comes across the waves from the dinner cruise boats which hover off-shore... "South Pacific" has come to our home.
Keauhou Shopping Area, complete with supermarket, theatre, restaurants and gift shops is 1 mile south. Nearby is the Kona Tennis and Racket Club. The 36 hole Kona Golf Club is two miles south of the house.
