Private tropical villa in Kona: Resort style heated pool, Hot tub & Ocean views


This lovely home sits on over half acre lot surrounded by palm trees, lush green lawns and tropical flowers with gorgeous views of the ocean. Resort style backyard with private pool with waterfall and a hot tub creates a relaxing oasis to enjoy at any time of the day or the evening and will make you want to stay forever. The pool temperature is maintained at a comfortable 80 degrees for year around enjoyment.

Fall asleep to the sound of palm trees rustling and wake up to the birds chirping right outside your window. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances, gadgets, cookware and much more, whether you choose to simply enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Kona coffee before starting your adventures or prepare a full meal. There is also a grill and lots of outdoor furniture if you choose to cook and eat while enjoying the beautiful backyard.

Many windows in the house bring in cool Hawaiian breeze, and there is air-conditioning for warmer days or humid nights.

Three bedrooms: king in the primary room, queens in the two guest rooms and a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room. Bring the youngest ones with you. We have two Pack 'n Plays and a stroller. Well stocked with luxury linens and ample towels along with fun stuff like beach chairs, pool toys, ice-chests and coolers. The park across the street is great if you choose to play ball or Frisbee.

Free WIFI with high speed internet along with a 65 inch TV in the living room is perfect for watching a movie or your favorite series at the end of the day, streamed over high-speed Internet from Amazon, Hulu and/or Netflix. A good selection fo board games and books are also available for some quality down time. Telephone service provides free calls throughout the US and Canada.

Couldn’t have found better accommodation
Sean and Anjali’s home is the most ideal property for a visit to Kona if you’re looking for a fully equipped kitchen to cook your own meals, the privacy of having your own pool and hot tub, and proximity to all itineraries on the western part of Big Island. We traveled as a multigenerational family of grandparents, parents, and young kids and every one of us enjoyed our stay. We brought a lot of our own pre-cooked frozen meals so we could focus more on daily outings and adventures. We greatly appreciated that the house was well stocked with everything we needed for beach days and had plenty of towels and accessories/games for a stay with kids. Thank you for hosting us and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Tropical relaxation
The property has everything that a large family needs to enjoy a Kona vacation. Well equipped kitchen, lots of beach supplies, and a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy and relax. The only item that would make the stay even better would be more stable beds in the smaller bedrooms. Two adults sleeping on those beds is a bit wobbly.

Fun property with good view
The property has everything you need for a fun filled vacation. Kitchen fully stocked and the house has everything you need. Pool was great. Hot tub relaxing. Decent ocean view considering the location in the neighborhood. The flowers on the property made for a nice photo backdrop and they smelled good too.

Wonderful house and neighborhood
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. House inside and outside was delightful. Pool and hot tub were appreciated. Morning walks in the neighborhood and down to the main road below the neighborhood were great. Tips on what to do and where to go from Sean and Anjali were excellent! Looking forward to coming back.

Everything about this house was fabulous. The home was spotlessly clean, the furnishings are new, the beds were comfortable (my in-laws even took note of the brand), and the kitchen was well stocked (including a basket of snacks on arrival). We had plenty of space for five adults. The outdoor space is gorgeous and was a family favorite. The pool was warm, clean, and even has a waterfall. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic 100/100!! Look no further. Stay at this property.
This property was just as advertised. It was really great. Super super clean!!!!! The patio/pool/hot tub were amazing. Really beautiful and super useful backyard. The lighting setup and fountain were very cool and fun! Fantastic location. Gated community added to feeling of friendliness/exclusivity. Lots of people out walking in neighborhood — everyone waved hello as we drove by. Communication with Sean was exceptional. I would rate this property /experience 100/100.

Best Kona vacation ever
We could not ask for anything more with our accommodations at the Kona House of Palms. The experience from booking to check out was smooth. All possible needs of a vacationing family, the owners have thought about and made available in the home. The house has plenty of useful stuff from board games, pool toys, rice cooker, and hair straightener… the house has it all. Our hosts have been very prompt and responsive which is a true testament to amazing service. The stove broke on our first night but the hosts made sure this was replaced the next day! The home is a great setting to relax and sit back to enjoy the pool and home cooked meals with family. We will always treasure the happy memories we made at this amazing place.

Great Stay
House was super stocked with chairs, beach mats, boogie board and towels. The pool was fun and we swam in it everyday. There was even a basket on the counter for us filled with snacks! The only negative is before we got in the front door, my wife and children were bit multiple times by mosquitos. Luckily, the property had big spray and candles and the bugs were only bad in the morning and sunset. Otherwise, the bugs were tolerable.
