About this property

Kona Oasis: Private Backyard & Beach-Entry Pool

  • Your Private Kona Oasis

    Perched on the hills just 3 miles south of downtown Kailua-Kona, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers elevated ocean views and the soothing sound of surf in the distance. Located on the top floor (accessed via a flight of exterior stairs), this home features seamless single-level living once inside—perfectly positioned just minutes above Kona’s most famous beaches and surf spots in a peaceful, safe neighborhood.

    Resort-Style Outdoor Living

    Step into your fully private backyard sanctuary framed by lush, mature tropical flora. The centerpiece is a custom resort-style, saltwater beach-entry pool—ideal for easy wading with kids or lounging under the sun. Spend your days swimming, firing up the grill for an evening BBQ, and soaking in the Hawaiian ocean breeze.

    Gourmet Kitchen & Modern Comforts

    Food lovers will thrive in the expansive chef's kitchen, featuring sleek granite countertops, a 6-burner gas range, double ovens, and a welcoming breakfast bar where family and friends can gather.

    Cool Island Comforts

    Positioned on the elevated Kona hillside, the home is designed to capture refreshing Hawaiian trade winds. Please note that the home does not have air conditioning. Instead, there are ceiling fans and rotating fans in every room, open-air sliding doors, and cool tropical breezes that keep the space comfortable day and night.

    Peaceful Neighborhood & House Rules

    Our home is nestled in a quiet residential community where local neighbors take pride in the peaceful environment. To keep the neighborhood serene for everyone, no parties or large gatherings are permitted, and quiet hours are strictly observed in the evenings. We welcome respectful guests who want to unwind and enjoy a true island getaway.

    Local Hospitality & Privacy

    We want your Big Island stay to be seamless. Our friendly on-site property manager, Pauly, resides in a completely separate downstairs apartment. He is available to assist with immediate needs or local recommendations while giving you total privacy to enjoy the home and backyard pool. As your host, I am always a quick message away with insider tips to help you experience the best beaches, dining, and hidden gems Kona has to offer!

Our Hostess & on-site host were very kind & friendly. Nice people always make the experience great. The house was very comfortable with all you need to relax, cook, just live. The location was perfect: central location for Kailua-Kona coastline, as well as for going North & South for site seeing. Love love loved this place. If we’d never left the house, we were in paradise. Beds were comfortable & pool and deck were fabulous.

I was remiss in not checking if AC was available in this house. Due to the humidity in Kona, it took us a couple of days to get used to it. The many fans in the house helped, but it was the pool area that became our haven every day, after visiting many sites in Kona!!

Charming ocean view home

We extended our stay in Kona last minute and had to find a place to stay for 3 nights. We were fortunate to find Annie's place and enjoyed staying there. The pool area is really lovely and the grandkids loved diving for coconuts in the pool! There is a pretty ocean view from the front porch. Annie is really accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to stay in a family neighborhood our last few days in Kona and feel more of a part of the community. Convenient location just a few minutes to Kona, shopping, beaches and Da Poke Shack!

Beautiful home with refreshing pool

The house looks just like the pictures! This place is in a good, quiet location very close to the main highway and practically within walking distance to magic sands beach (great boogie boarding spot). The property has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and a cart available for beach excursions. There was an adaptation phase for us with the home not having Air conditioning, but cooling off in the pool and using fans to channel air through the house worked well. We had a wonderful time and spent several days in the house recuperating from big adventure days.

The most like-home VRBO of all time

First off, the photos don’t do this property justice (Annie, for real, have new photos taken!) And I can honestly say we’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that felt more like home. Everything about our stay at Annie’s house was absolutely perfect- including Annie! She is the warmest, most lovely host & we instantly felt like she was family. We arrived after dark so it wasn’t until morning’s daylight that we were able to take in the magic of this property. Its beauty literally brought me to tears. Every detail of the home is well thought out- from the fully stocked kitchen to the closet full of hangers- and the location couldn’t be better. The neighborhood is gorgeous & has sidewalks- so many unique homes. We enjoyed a walk through the neighborhood and down to Ali’i Drive along the ocean every morning. And it’s the perfect jumping spot to anywhere in the island. Annie, thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with others.

Relaxing Big Island Retreat

This house was the perfect home base for our family of six to explore the beautiful beaches of Kona and the Kohala Coast. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with a view of the pacific from the lanai, it’s just a short drive from restaurants, grocery stores and shops. The house was filled with amenities like a well stocked kitchen, toiletries in the two walk-in shower bathrooms, and beach items for us to use like beach chairs, coolers & boogie boards. As much as we loved the inside of this accommodation, the outside was the real treat and our favorite place to relax, unwind and eat meals. The back patio is large, filled with beautiful tropical plants, tables, lounge chairs, a nice gas grill and a fabulous walk-in salt water lighted pool surrounded by lava rock. The host, Annie, was amazing. She was so friendly and helpful from the time we booked and throughout our stay. Annie was a delight and answered all our questions with top notch recommendations for restaurants and beaches. This was especially helpful since a member of our party was traveling with a wheelchair and crutches and we needed help locating the most accessible beaches for her. We were so happy with every minute we spent here at Annie’s Hale.

Holidays at the Hale

My wife and I lived at Annie’s Hale for a month over the Christmas-New Year holidays and had a wonderful time. The Hale was very clean, smelled good and was well equipped. Lots of fans around the house and they were well used and kept us comfortable. Three nice sized bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us lots of room to spread out. Annie’s family business used to be hardscaping so there are lots of reminders throughout the house, from the extensive slate floors in the main rooms to the massaging pebble floor of the bedroom opening to the back yard. It was an adventure to explore. The real star of the property is the huge deck and swimming pool out back. It is an oasis of imaginative hardscaping and tropical plants. The pool is very clean, smell-free, and was ideal for wading with its gently sloped entry – perfect for small children. The water temperature in the deep end could be bracing, but we soon got used to that. We laughed as the local mynas, java sparrows, spotted and zebra doves, and saffron finches jostled for room to bathe and drink in the warm shallows. I also had a welcome visitor, a small 5” lizard, who would often perch on my toes to catch any flies foolish enough to harass me. He must have caught 8 or 10 while we were there. The geckos were also around and so fun to watch. Would we stay at Annie’s Hale again. Definitely, yes.
