This house is not for sale, as many are. Their are 6 oceanfront homes are 4-sale. Also this house is one of the few that is zoned hotel and resort even tho its not in town. This is a Must or your taking a big chance with booking a illegal property. Do your homework. ONLY OCEANFRONT Homes have Minimal Bugs in the Tropics, because of the cool ocean breezes.

Perfect for our three generations
This was such a wonderful place to spend two weeks with family. We all enjoyed the pool a lot. The house has spaces to enjoy solitude if you need to and spaces to be all together without feeling squished. The number of spices, condiments, etc. in the kitchen was nice. Going down Alii drive easily takes you to shopping and eating close by. Mark and Shellese were on top of everything-the communication was great.

Best Ever Ocean Front House
Best location in Kailua-Kona. The surf can reach the pool. The salt water pool was the most soothing experience. Perfect sunsets sitting at the outside dining table. The house is older but has that oceanside feel of perfection. My family all agreed this was their best vacation experience ever. A special thanks to Mark.

Best Ocean Front Home
Mark was absolutely fantastic to deal with and as well the check in process with his on-site manager was easy after our long flight. The home is just as advertised!! Hearing the ocean waves crash into the pool and the views at night of the sunset were out of this world. Close to downtown and everything we could possibly need was at the house including ice chests, beach chairs, BBQ, body boards....the list is endless. Trust me, you will not be disappointed in your stay at this wonderful home. We will be back!! Dennis J. Luca

This property was absolutely perfect for our family’s Hawaiian Christmas. The location is phenomenal. All of us loved sleeping to the sound of crashing waves, the beautiful sunsets and spotting all of the sea life through out the day! There was plenty of space for all 10 of us. The house had everything we needed and more. Mark and his team think of everything! The consistent communication ahead of our trip made us even more excited.

This house was perfect for the needs of our group— location, size, accessibility, proximity, ease. Although some things show signs of use, age, and salt exposure, everything is in working order. Several in my party said this was some of the best sleeping conditions ever! Love the waves and sea air!! The owner and/or caretaker were in frequent communication leading up to or during our stay, making sure we had everything we need. I’d gladly stay there again if I come back to Kona!

Kona Dream
This house was an amazing place to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. We loved the location, pool and easy walk to town. Check in was a breeze and listing is accurate. There is plenty of room so that you are not on top of each other and can get quiet time on one of the many lanai’s. Cooking is easy in the equipped kitchen with plenty of spices and pantry staples. Mark was responsive and gave us excellent advice for a fishing charter. Loved our recent trip and can’t wait to get back to the big island!

Excellent View
Exactly what we expected for a beach house on the shores of Kona. Pool and spa were excellent for the days we didn’t travel to a beach and for afternoon Happy Hour. The house had everything we needed from beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas for shade. The kitchen was well supplied, the beds were comfortable and listening to the waves at night put us right to sleep. Mark and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. Excellent hosts and will definitely come back again.

I've stayed at many vacation rentals all across the world, including one in Kona Bay Estates. This is the only house I want to rent again and again. I am so glad I came across this listing and it happened to be available. Mark is an amazing host with a lot of useful travel tips and was extremely accommodating by allowing us to stay way past checkout time with our red eye flight back to Los Angeles. This house was perfect for my crew of 3 boys. The tide pools surrounding the house are worth the stay alone. We cannot wait to come back!

A perfect vacation for us!
Amazing!! Trip of a lifetime. The house was perfectly suited for us. Amenities were plentiful. Fished off the pool deck and caught on the first cast. The eels were a nightly event to feed and watch them come out of the cave. We ate in almost every night of the ten nights we were there because there simply is no better view than from the deck!!! Mark was a delight from start to finish. Can’t wait to go back.

Family vacation
We had an amazing 9 night stay in this beach house in Kona. This home had everything we could have asked for and more. Our grandkids had an amazing time playing in the pool while the waves came crashing in. They loved watching and feeding the eels, saving the snails and counting the crabs. Very convenient location. My daughter and son-in-law said it was the best sleep they had in a long time. Leaving the doors open and hearing the waves crashing was an amazing sound to hear nightly. We will be back!

The Hale Kai House - Prime Kona Location
Cannot say enough how great our stay was at the Hale Kai House. Views from the backyard to the Pacific Ocean are stunning and we pretty much everyday stayed in backyard to enjoy the pool and views. The house itself was great for fitting our party of 8 with a nice large kitchen which we cooked our own meals most days (and if we wanted to eat out, downtown Kona was only a 1 mile walk). The owner (Mark T) made himself available for any questions and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities in the Kona area (Mark even found someone locally to come out and climb up the palm tree to retrieve a drone that got stuck in the palms). Looking forward to coming back to the Hale Kai House the next time we are on the Big Island.

What can I say…..
That hasn’t already been said:) Ideal property to hang out in or stage from with outings and day trips. The pool was a great source of fun and relaxation. The views, outstanding. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials to cook for our group of 10. The space was expansive with great tv and internet. Our grandkids had a ball. Temps were moderate with easy winds and evening showers. COVID kept the dining outings limited, but Costco and the new Safeway filled all food/pupu requirements. Mark’s place was the perfect remedy for the last year. He was a great and accommodating host.

Best vacation ever!!!
We had the best time. The house was a dream and the pool was amazing. Even though there wasn’t air conditioning we were fine. Leaving the upstairs doors open at night and listening to the ocean helped you fall a sleep. There was such a nice breeze every night. We saw dolphins , a sting ray and one morning a very large seal sun bathing on the rocks. The house had everything we needed and Marc always answered my calls anytime. Sherry does a great job making you feel welcome. We would definitely come back and stay here.. There were 9 of us with kids and we had so much room . Such a beautiful house and very spacious . We explored the island and loved coming back and jumping in the pool. We absolutely loved it there. Best time ever. Barb Rusinovich

Paradise for our family
This house was perfect for our family of 7 for a number of reasons. First, the location was perfect. It is right in Kona and only a 20 minute ride from the airport. We booked a lot of activities and were super close to the hotels for pick up. The house is within walking distance to town but if you don't want to walk, the free trolley stops across the street and comes by hourly. Second, the ocean is literally right behind the house and the views were unbelievable. The pictures are accurate, but do not do it justice! We saw the most beautiful sunsets each night and were lulled to sleep by the crashing waves. Third, our family is made up of 3 generations and we all live in different states. We had so much fun hanging out and catching up and there was plenty to entertain to everyone. We napped in the sun, played in the pool, fed the eels, fished off the lava rock, had a family movie night, cooked family meals and practiced putting on greens that surround the house. Lastly, the owner was very helpful prior to our stay with offering to assist with arrangements as well as during our stay. This was our first trip to the Big Island and we had an amazing time...it definitely will not be the last. We are already talking about our next visit!

AMAZING!
My family loved our week here from the moment we walked in the front door. this place is what you need if you live a hectic life. The waves are loud and crashing , you sleep like a baby. The view is worth the stay. We cooked and had a staycation. Played cards outside at night and sat in the hot tub. Our highlight was feeding the eels. The kitchen is well stocked and I appreciated that things were there in the fridge and cupboards. We left things for the next guess to use. The house has beach chairs and umbrellas and ice chests so that was a treat. Mark is only a text away and he is very helpful and knowledgeable as well. We cant wait to go back and spend another great vacation there! I loved the location and the minor street noise is worth being so close to town. Sure a/c would be nice but you only have a few hours a day it’s kinda muggy then hello trade winds here they come and your cool again. Mahalo to Mark beach homes take a salt beating and the keep up is so hard. This is a wonderful home to share great times with friends and family a d you get an amazing host as well😎

LOVE the Location, Amenities, Pool, and Owner! 1500 characters is not enough to describe!
Firstly, we want to stress how frequent the communication process was. Mark provides constant communication, knowledge, pics/videos of the property, & the events of the area. Property manager, Shellese, is the best ever! She met us for check-in, went over all the home's features, and gave many recommendations of places to see, activities, & restaurants. Both she and Mark checked in regularly and sent other places of interest by text or call. The pool is amazing in size for a large group, and we spent a lot of our trip there. It is a great way to cool off in the Hawaii summer. The house does not have air conditioning, which I missed on the listing. However, there are many, many doors and windows to open to get airflow. Shellese stopped by with an extra fan when she found out some were not working. The kitchen is large and appliances in great working order. They have it stocked with all the plates, cups, silverware, food prep material that a large group would need. There were plenty of towels, paper products, everything a home would have and a traveler would not want to pack or buy. There is also a putting range around the property that we had fun with and a whole other lawn area with fresh produce, more putting, and another entrance into the ocean. We had a blast walking on the volcanic rock beach at different times of the day to see all of the ocean life ~ even a turtle! Mark was extremely flexible when we needed a late afternoon checkout due to airline delays. No regrets!
