Set along the iconic Ali‘i Drive coastline in Kailua-Kona, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home brings everyone together with expansive glass walls, multiple indoor living areas, and inviting outdoor spaces anchored by a solar-heated pool, ocean-view hot tub, and dining at the water’s edge.

Large glass panels open toward the coastline, creating uninterrupted sightlines to the water.

The 2 full size kitchens made cooking so easy. It also allowed adequate refrigeration for all the groceries necessary to feed a family of 12\. The rooms were so comfortable and the 5 bathrooms meant no one had to wait very long. This house had it all! Plenty of towels, beach gear, etc. The outdoor area had incredible views and the pool/jacuzzi were such an added bonus! Everything was flawless!

While each floor was self contained, we always gathered together either outside or on the second or third floor every morning and evening. Although the property was right on Ali’i Drive the night time road noises were practically nonexistent. In fact if you are a fan of falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the surf, this property is for you. The small market across the street was a huge bonus. ##### Leonard F.

May 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house Super fun house for my friends and I. The top two floors were more like separate apartments. They both had their own kitchen which was great. It would be perfect for someone’s family reunion but it worked great for my friends staying together before our wedding. We didn’t use the elevator much but the big windows were very nice. The only downside is on the third floor you can only access it through the master bedroom if you don’t use the elevator. Not a big deal but something to be aware of. Otherwise I recommend it. ##### Cathy C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Khoi L. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Island Dreams My wife’s dream was to treat her parents to a Hawaii vacation. We decided to make it happen and invited my parents and my brother’s family too. The location is unbeatable being 1.5 hours from Hilo, 2 hours from Volcano National Park and mins from the Kona waterfront. The house is a bit dated but has everything you really need including an elevator! Kitchen saw very little use but came fully stocked with cups, mugs, dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. There were two washers and dryers on the property. The pool and hot tub were nice though went mostly untouched. We didn’t spend much time at home because of all the amazing outdoor activities of the Big Island. There were even beach and ocean equipment available to use onsite. The staff/management team were tremendous and very responsive. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Codes and instructions were all emailed and texted clearly. There were periodic spot checks by the team throughout the week that were not intrusive. The owner was great answering all my questions prior via the messaging app on VRBO very promptly. My father-in-law must have cried at least 4 times from happiness! Both sets of parents got to spend a lot of quality time with the grandkids. Finally, my FIL summed it up best. “Of all the great memories created in this beautiful place, my favorite was drinking a cup of coffee on the pool deck overlooking the magnificent view of the ocean every morning!” Thank you Hawaii and Shangri La for the wonderful memories! ##### Khoi L. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany T. Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kona location is amazing. Waking up to the ocean waves and beautiful views was the highlight of this property! We have nine people, family and friends sharing this house. The layout is a bit odd with a noisy elevator reaching all 3 floors, and external staircase to 2nd floor kitchen and 3rd floor bedroom. We cooked out of 2nd floor kitchen which had lots of dishes but not enough cookware and storage containers. And while I’m familiar with the islands’ local creatures, this is the first time we’ve had actual roaches in the unit we stayed. Seems like an easy thing to fix. The AC worked great, plenty of bathrooms, internet was broken (repaired at end of our stay), TV remotes didn’t work, lots of dining seating, plenty of beach gear, and pool and jacuzzi were nice. It was a “nice” stay; however, for the price tag it should have been “really nice”. Seems like a few minor tweaks and it will be legit (coffee bar in hallway, more kitchen containers/cookware, update artwork, add lounging/seating options in living spaces, pest control, TV remotes and/or Roku, keyless entry for upstairs doors, few updated furniture pieces in bedrooms). Following our large group stay, we switch to a house 5 minutes away for 1/4 of the nightly rate that had those missing pieces. It was a contrast to this unit in seating options, decor, coziness, solid furniture, and cleanliness. Having an amazing location and view shouldn’t lower the standard for the quality of amenities and offerings. Wouldn’t choose again :( ##### Tiffany T. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alex M., Eagle Mountain Feb 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house for large group Overall we were very pleased with this house. We had a group of 11 with mostly kids (4 adults, 7 kids). The space allowed us all to spread out and have our own quarters. The house itself is definitely dated but in great shape for its age. Its placement on/near the beach was phenomenal and having the crashing of waves as your background is awesome. The downside is that the house is a bit awkward. No inside stairwells to connect the levels. Instead there is a very small (and old) elevator that you can take up and down. It is big enough for 2.5 adults and is pretty slow. That being said it gets the job done especially for luggage. If you don't want to ride the elevator, there are only stairs on the OUTSIDE which got pretty tedious after a while there. The bottom level is a studio and only accessible from the outside as the elevator on that level is outside the door to this studio. And on the 3rd floor the stairs take you to master bedroom on that level. So if you want to visit the 3rd floor you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the kitchen. Again, a bit awkward. The pool was not large but in my opinion the perfect size for taking a quick swim or lounging around. All the kids loved it and it was plenty big for them. They also enjoyed the hot tub quite a bit. The outdoor area has a nice Weber grill, ample seating area and lounge chairs. We spent many a night eating dinner and watching the sunset. My only complaint was about the tiki torches. They are prominent in the photos and video of this house. However, we could only get 3 to light on the first night and 2 the next night. The fuel was out. I contacted the property manager to see about getting more fuel and was told that was not something they provided. We were put off by this and really disappointed. I have to go buy fuel?? A bit puzzled by this especially for the nightly rate we paid. The parking seems like it would fit 4 cars but that would be a squeeze. There are 2 carport spots and 2 spots in gravel to the sides. The driveway itself is tricky because it has no visibility to the road and you have to inch out slowly to even see traffic coming. We found the best way is to back into the spots. Backing up into traffic is just too dangerous. Overall the house was great but for the price we paid I was expecting a lot more. I understand that Kona is expensive but this was above and beyond other accommodations in price. ##### Alex M.
