About this property

Stunning oceanfront cottage

  • This beautifully restored one-of-a-kind oceanfront home has all the charm of yesteryear with the added conveniences and sustainability of today. Meticulously appointed and private, the views and location are spectacular. The Guardian newspaper has listed Kona Moana Hale as one of the Top Beach Houses in the World.

    Completely renovated, this updated home has hardwood floors, granite countertops, koa cabinets, stainless steel appliances, air conditioning, iHome docking stations, Bose outdoor speakers with Bluetooth receiver (to pair your own devices and play music), iTouch pre-loaded with various Hawaiian music, wireless internet, full size washer/dryer, brand new California king bedroom set, luxurious bedding, hdtv plasma in great room and bedroom, gas bbq, teak lounges, etc etc. All lights are on dimmers so you can create your own environment and mood. There's even an indoor switch to light up the water at night to create a spectacular view!

    Ideally located overlooking Kahaluu Beach, you are within feet of the best snorkeling and surfing on the island. (If you do surf or stand up paddleboard, you can paddle straight out and be in the break in less than 5 minutes.) Dolphin sightings are quite common. During winter months, whales can be seen daily as they swim by.

    Uniquely situated on a 9000 sq ft oceanfront lot, this home is a one-of-a-kind. You will experience complete privacy with expansive views up and down the coast. (We also own the property next door where you are free to pick papayas, bananas, etc. or just sit and watch the sunset.) While there is so much to do on the Big Island, you will have a difficult time pulling yourself away from your home and the incredible views and sounds of the ocean. You will find this special place to be relaxing, rejuvenating and inspiring.

    Upon arrival you will be provided with tropical flower arrangements, kona coffee and an assortment of fresh fruit. Playing softly in the background is Hawaiian music accompanied by the gentle sound of the ocean. The setting is nothing short of amazing.

The house is lovely, well maintained. It is equipped with everything you may want in the kitchen, storage baskets in the bathroom, jackets for the trip up to the volcano, thoughtful touches throughout. The location is nothing short of amazing, perched right above the crashing wavesand the endless mesmerizing sea. A wonderful getaway!

This property lived up to its exceptional reviews! We explored the entire island, and this location was perfect for our numerous day trips. The home was beautiful... clean, well maintained, and fully stocked with everything needed for at home and day trip activities! We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the ocean view in the oversized swing. Our host was excellent in every way when we reached out to her. We will definitely be back!

Dream Location

We have rented more than 20 VRBO units in and around Kona, over nearly 30 trips, and this was an absolute dream! We used all of the space, and basically lived on the lanai. Quiet, private, and had everything we could have needed!

It's An Incredible Property!

Oh how we love to return to Kona Moana Hale! This property has been a favorite of our for years. The cottage is spotless and the location is wonderful - close to what we feel is the perfect beach for snorkeling. Combine that with an owner who clearly cares about visitors, a lanai with fabulous views and a Hawaii area that restores souls...it results in wonderful memories.

What a gem!

This was a wonderful place to decompress before Christmas! I could spend hours looking at the ocean, taking a break only to walk over to Kahalu’u beach to snorkel. This was a great location, and I’d love to come back.

A slice of heaven

You can't get much more oceanfront than this house. Only downside is that once you're settled into the swing on the covered lanai with a book and glass of wine you may never leave to explore the island! Owner was immediately available and accommodating. Excellent property.

An amazing oceanfront cottage experience with great hosts

As described, this cottage is truly stunning. You can't get much closer to the waves and beauty of the Pacific Ocean than this and the beautiful sunsets are beyond description. This is an ideal location for singles or couples and the cottage is beautifully decorated with some very nice and thoughtful welcoming touches (floral displays, fresh fruit). Our host Yvonne was extremely attentive to any needs or questions we had. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a special and memorable stay on Hawaii's Big Island and we hope to return there again.

Magical

Everything about our stay was perfect! The location was great, close to restaurants or other activities, but we found ourselves not wanting to leave the property. It was so relaxing to sit on the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean and read. We loved the swing couch! The owner has thought of every detail/need - even yoga mats! We loved having dinner at sunset on the deck while watching the surfers. We even saw a whale on our first and last evenings!
