Oceanfront Home | Gated Kona Bay Estates | AC in Bedrooms. Blue Water

This luxury, 2-story oceanfront estate on Big Island boasts one of the best locations on the entire Kona coast. With 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, expansive living areas, and unique amenities for up to 10 guests, you’ll truly be able to claim the island adventure of a lifetime here at Blue Water by Gather. This Big Island vacation rental resides in the exclusive Kona Bay Estates with proximity to Kona village, where you’ll find extensive fine dining, shopping, and Hawaiian activities to fill your vacation days with cherished memories. In addition to your private pool, there’s a swimming lagoon and beautiful white sand beach within the Kona Bay Estates gated community. This lagoon is one of the few places on the Kona Coast which is usable all year round, due to its shallow warm water.

When you first enter the property, you’ll be greeted by the large, wrap-around driveway and Hawaiian Poi Pounder fountain. Blue Water has numerous decorative touches and features inspired by the unique history of the island, which offers its guests a glimpse into its special past. The main living area has numerous doors that welcome the outdoor sounds and scents of the tropical flora, along with all the cooling tradewinds. The living room and kitchen area are spacious and ideal for entertaining guests, with a large curved granite bar, Koa media center, and dining area for all your guests. With the doors wide open throughout the day, your living area seems to expand right to the dazzling Pacific.

From your outdoor lanai, you can take in breathtaking sunsets each night from your lounge chairs or beautiful pool and spa area. Blue Water sits on over half an acre of tropical landscaping, with recent upgrades made to the property to ensure the most unique vacation home experience. The owner also recently added AC in all the bedrooms, updated many of the furnishings, and invested in new sliding doors to ensure the open-air feeling of the main floor living area is easy to access. Most guests have the doors open to take advantage of the ocean breezes, therefore the AC thermostat is preset to shut off at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm during the day. It operates continuously at night, with a minimum temperature of 74 degrees to ensure maximum comfort for you and your guests.

The primary bedroom suite is privately situated on the second level with incredible ocean views. It features a King-size canopy bed, private lanai, etched glass walk-in shower, jetted tub, and large walk-in closet. There’s a separate media lounge area within the primary suite, which provides additional sleeping accommodations.

Leading from the media room, there’s a set of spiral stairs that leads to an observation room with Twin-size beds. The observation room has 360-degree windows for mesmerizing views of the ocean and mountains. If you have older children, this would be the perfect space for them to hang out. The other 2 suites reside on the first and second levels, with a King-size bed and a Queen-size canopy bed and private bath within the rooms respectively.

As part of your reservation, you’ll have exclusive access to concierge services. Some of the service options include daily maid service, airport pick-up, lei greeting, private whale watching and snorkeling tours, and private chefs.
You will be so delighted with this home that you'll want to come back year after year!

Wonderful Location
We have stayed in many Kona Bay properties and this house has one of the best locations. Wonderful to be able to open the house up for the ocean breeze and sound of the waves. Large house with plenty of open space. Pool was nice. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Great location, nice home
RE Company did a great job, and house was clean and well stocked. Only negative was the house has a walkway in front with about 5 groups per hour that walk by (mostly neighbors or other renters), but it takes away from the oceanfront privacy. In spite of that, I'd stay here again :-)

Perfect location
House was in a beautiful oceanfront location with beautiful lava rock shoreline and a small beach area nearby. Near downtown Kailua Kona and plenty of restaurants, etc. Rules about AC/wearing shoes may seem unreasonable but weren't difficult, left sandals at door. Living area was best left open. Management was very responsive when WiFi not functional, etc. Would definitely recommend.

I stayed at Blue Water House in March. It was the best time ever. The house is a tropical dream. With Tradewinds blowing throughout, you can hang out in the jacuzzi watching the sunset while someone else..is hopefully making the margaritas. The house managers couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The location is perfection, the overall set up makes for the most relaxing get away EVER.
