Hot tub/Jacuzzi

Just moments from the heart of Kailua-Kona, this private three-story oceanfront retreat captures the beauty of Hawaiʻi's coastline with uninterrupted Pacific views and thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxation and connection. An elevator provides effortless access to every level, while soaring ceilings, expansive lanais, and disappearing pocket doors create a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Spend leisurely afternoons exploring the lava-rock shoreline and tide pools just beyond the gated yard, perfecting a putt on the private putting green, or unwinding in the oceanfront hot tub as vibrant sunsets give way to star-filled skies. A well-appointed kitchen, inviting gathering spaces, and beautifully designed private bedrooms complete this comfortable coastal escape. The home's prime location along iconic Aliʻi Drive places the best of Kona within easy reach, from waterfront cafés, local markets, and historic landmarks to world-famous snorkeling, coffee farms, and unforgettable ocean adventures. Whether enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, grilling dinner on the lanai, or setting out to discover the island's natural beauty, this oceanfront haven offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and authentic Big Island living.

KEY Curation Notes

This is a true oceanfront position on Ali'i Drive, with lava-rock tide pools and shoreline steps from the gated yard. Two lanais hang directly above the water, and a hot tub built for sunset-watching turns evenings into an event. Downtown Kailua-Kona is an easy stroll away, so you get both the waterfront setting and walkable access to town.
An elevator runs between all three floors, which matters here since the primary living space, kitchen, and dining sit on the top level. It also makes hauling luggage or groceries in from the carport painless.
Living, dining, and kitchen spaces are cooled by ocean breeze and ceiling fans rather than air conditioning. All three bedrooms have their own split A/C units, so sleeping stays comfortable, but plan for open-air warmth in the main gathering spaces during the day.
The home sits directly on Ali'i Drive, a well-traveled road, so some road noise carries into the property, particularly in rooms facing the street. Worth knowing if quiet is a priority for light sleepers.
A backyard putting green and private outdoor shower round out the outdoor space, and beach chairs, towels, and basic snorkel gear are provided for easy trips to nearby Kahalu'u and Magic Sands. Electric vehicle charging isn't available on-site, so EV drivers should plan charging elsewhere during the stay.
