KEY Curation Notes

Oceanfront on Puako Bay with direct beach access, this four-bedroom estate sits on a 69,522-square-foot lot bordered by protected land, with Puako Beach a one-minute walk away and Puako Reef snorkeling just beyond. The infinity pool merges with the ocean horizon at eye level, and the entire home frames unobstructed Pacific views through floor-to-ceiling glass.
Modern architecture and curated art define the interior across 4,085 square feet of living space plus 3,415 square feet of lanai, with Italian Tivoli stone, travertine floors, and thoughtful design creating a gallery-like setting. Every bedroom has its own ensuite bath, and all rooms feature individual A/C controls and blackout blinds.
The kitchen and outdoor spaces are chef-caliber, with professional-grade appliances, dual refrigerators, and expansive quartz counters anchoring the main kitchen, while the lanai hosts a summer kitchen with grill, sink, refrigerator, and wood-fired pizza oven. Four single-person kayaks with life jackets are available upon request for a nominal setup fee.
Entertainment options span the full home with a ten-seat cinema with Apple TV, a ping-pong lounge, a great room that seats twelve for dining, and an elevator connecting all levels. Your stay includes yoga mats, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, and a cooler.
October brings the IRONMAN World Championship to the Kohala Coast, so if your dates include October 10 (race day), plan for significant road closures and traffic delays throughout Kona and Kohala areas.
