Located on Ali’i Drive along the rugged Kona coastline of the Big Island, this home boasts five air-conditioned bedrooms, six spacious bathrooms, and plenty of space to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Walls of ocean-facing glass open to maximize your enjoyment, from the sound of the waves crashing upon the rocks to the cool breezes blowing off the water. Watch the surfers catch the perfect wave and witness the wonders of mother nature from your backyard as you watch a pod of dolphins or turtles swim by, or marvel at the Humpback whales in the distance as they spout water high into the air, breach, or slap their fin against the surface of the water. This private oceanfront retreat has the perfect backdrop for eating al fresco, swimming, sunbathing, and marveling at amazing sunsets. The kitchen and dining area are drenched in natural light and feature views of both the pool and the crystalline ocean. Cooking mouthwatering meals is effortless in Hale Pua’s kitchen, with state-of-the-art appliances, all the cookware you need, and two separate islands providing ample counter space and bar seating. Massive sliding glass doors open up to a large outdoor dining table, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with the gentle island breeze. Ready to feel refreshed and rejuvenated? Take a dip in the private saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub for a while. Enjoy yoga or watch the kids play on the lawn as the adults watch over them from lounge chairs positioned just outside the glass sliders that lead back into the comfortable living room, with its oversized sectional and flatscreen TV. There’s no need to argue about who gets which room since every bedroom has a king-size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and its own full-size ensuite. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves in your sizable primary suite, with stunning ocean views both from the king-size bed and your private lanai that runs the length of the room. The primary bathroom treats you to double sinks, a walk-in closet, and a large tiled shower. The Ohana room can be enjoyed as a second primary suite with its king bed in the upstairs loft, downstairs bathroom, and sitting area with a queen sleeper sofa. For days when you need to check your work email, the office includes a workspace, as well as two twin beds where additional guests can lay their heads. The home includes a media room with an 80-inch TV, nine reclining seats, and hundreds of Blu-Rays for an epic movie night. There is also a game room where the family can hang out and play board games and charades or lounge on the comfortable sleeper sofa. In addition, you can keep packing to a minimum with the use of two full-size washers and dryers in the dedicated laundry room. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or excitement, a fun-filled vacation is guaranteed as you spend your days enjoying the peace, tranquility, and beauty of Hale Pua, partake in adrenaline-producing activities, or explore the restaurants, shops, beaches, and cultural landmarks in the area. From Hale Pua, it’s a five-minute walk to Turtle Cove, where you can search for marine life in the tide pools, snorkel, surf, or go kayaking. Nearby, downtown Kailua-Kona provides numerous ocean activities, including scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Take a tour of Hulihe’e Palace, once home to native Hawaiian royalty, it’s now a museum featuring artifacts from the time of King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi’olani. Just across the street, you can visit Mokuaikaua Church, Hawai’i’s first Christian Church established in 1820. Out of town, you may also want to consider visiting the Observatory on Mauna Kea to do some stargazing and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park for the opportunity to see the lava flow, a potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience! \*\*\*Please note this property is only equipped with A/C in the sleeping areas.\*\*\* HAWAII TAX ID: TA-078-702-0288-01 This property is a licensed short-term vacation rental: STVR-19-346902 / NUC-19-0315, PL-NUCR-2025-003102 TMK: 760170430000 ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 6 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Golf - Heated pool - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Scuba diving nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 5,140 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72280000/72278300/72278256/39dbe193.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dolphin Manor: Stunning Oceanfront Home w/Pool, Spa, A/C, Private Lanai Holualoa Village - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.4 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=72278256&PinnedHotelID=72278256&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68020000/68015800/68015726/1b4e48ff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kona's Shangri La: Private Oceanfront Home w/ Pool, Spa & Elevator Holualoa Village - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.8 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=68015726&PinnedHotelID=68015726&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45550000/45540600/45540576/d97cef19.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kona Blue: Secluded Beachfront Home w/ Private Pool, AC & Ocean Views Historic Kailua Village - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=45540576&PinnedHotelID=45540576&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59970000/59961900/59961857/272080f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Honu Hale: Exquisite Oceanview Estate w/ Pool, Hot Tub, AC & Oversized Chess Set Holualoa Village - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.4 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=59961857&PinnedHotelID=59961857&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112770000/112764800/112764770/b70b92d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort-Style Home on Keauhou Bay: Great for Groups Keauhou - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=112764770&PinnedHotelID=112764770&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/108000000/107991300/107991293/1b2ad35d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Experience luxury at Hale Ola Historic Kailua Village - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=107991293&PinnedHotelID=107991293&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58940000/58939200/58939195/68c887d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ultra private oceanfront gated compound with pool & spa just minutes from town.

And the lanai,with outdoor dining and deck chairs, m pool and hot tub were the cherry on top. This property’s it all in a great location, was easily accessed with plenty of parking and, a huge kitchen, 2 sets of washer/dryers, loads of bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out and relax.

There is more than adequate space inside and out for a large family. The property management team is top notch and quickly addressed any issues.

We rented this house with a days notice. Our flight was canceled and our family of 12 suddenly was without accomodations. Not only was the house everything that we needed as a large family, but the management company was outstanding and made the rental process fast and easy. When half of our family had a new fllight cancelation once again, we needed to extend our visit by a day and even that process was made easy. They went over and above to accomodate us at time when we were all feeling in a panic. You won't go wrong renting this house! ##### Deborah H. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Landin G. Jul 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views and location The location and the house were great. Worth every penny. There were a few things that did come up during our stay: 1. The water heater shuts off at night. If you have a large family staying that showers at night, you will run out of hot water 2. There were roaches in some of the rooms 3. On the bottom floor office bathroom, every morning, you have to run the water for a few minutes as brown water would some out. 4. The water fall at the pool was not functioning 5. Wi-Fi was not working the first few days but they were able to come by and replace the Wi-Fi routers 6. They had gardeners come during the day and we were not able to use the pool or hang out. Overall, it was a good property with beautiful views. The family enjoyed it and would come again, hopefully with the issues above resolved. ##### Landin G.

Dec 17, 2017 #### Beautiful Setting Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is well positioned for sightseeing the island. It is also on a lovely section of the ocean. If you walk along the rocks to the left of the house, the scenery is beautiful and you come to a small sand beach. Also, there is great snorkeling slightly to the right of the house. We were there in mid November and the house does get warm with the evening sun. But if you open the doors, the ceiling fans and use the stand up a/c's provided you get past the few hot hours. The pool is perfect, especially for younger children (we had 5 between ages of 9 and 5);they especially enjoyed the hot tub. The BBQ pit worked beautifully, and we used it twice. There were a couple of things that could be improved. The remote for the fans were a little tricky to figure out how to use (there may have been directions but I did not see them) and the lighting in the kitchen area could be increased. There are a few other minor suggestions, but not worth mentioning. The kitchen has two coffee pots, 2 dish washers-which were really nice for a large group. There are also two washing machines and dryers. Over all, the house made for a truly memorable family vacation. I would stay there again! Mahalo!! ##### Jamie M.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's hard to put into words our experience at Hale Pua. I'll start with beautiful, memorable, and fantastic. We were met by Nick who walked the house with us and showed us around. The house is not 'modern' in style, but it is beautiful, clean, spacious, and has a great open floor plan ideal for large groups that like to be 'together'. We had 17 people. A mix of adults and kids. There are five bedrooms with master beds, one room with two singles, another room with a pull out couch. One of the master bedrooms has a pull out couch in it. For us and the mix of kids and adults... the sleeping worked out. A lot of our older kids liked to sleep on the couches. I have stayed in a lot of homes with large groups and this home by far was the most prepared for its visitors. There was plenty of bath towels, linens, toilet paper, dishes, pots, pans, trash bags...... there were even spices and some coffee there. We went grocery shopping for food items but a lot of the 'basic' things you need to cook were already there. So impressive. (We have stayed at a place with 18 people that had 2 trash bags for us when we arrived.) multiple fridges, two washers, two dryers, two dishwashers..... completely set up for large groups. The location is perfect in Kona. Can't say it much better. Airport - 25 minutes, downtown Kona - 5 minutes, volcano - 90 minutes, Hilo less than 2 hours. And the best part.... the view and backyard. The pictures you see online do not lie!!! It's just amazing. We were in awe everyday just hanging out back. We didn't even use the back of the house (game room and movie room). The pool and hot tub were great, plenty of lawn chairs and outside seating, huge glass doors to open the whole house up. AC in each bedroom was perfect. We had one AC that didn't work and the landlord responded promptly that same day to fix it. Lastly, the landlord did 'hover'. I could say more..... If we go to Hawaii again, I will be ##### Tony H.
