A beauiful home right on the waterfront in Kailua-Kona - Home Rental Listing Details

Hale Honu means "House of the Sea Turtle," aptly named for the "family" of turtles frequently seen frolicking in the surf in front of the house (known locally as "turtle cove"). This very special gated oceanfront home is perfectly situated to offer privacy and unobstructed views of the Kona coastline.

Hale Honu is a two-story, three bedroom, three bath, truly OCEANFRONT home with extraordinary views of the ocean from all rooms of the home. The home is designed with an upstairs 2 bedroom/2 bath main house, and a large 1 bedroom/1 bath studio/suite with a separate entrance. In July of 2007 we completed a major remodel upstairs, including all the windows, both bedrooms and baths, and the kitchen, and exterior. The bedrooms each boast a 4 X 10 foot retractable window...it's like sleeping on the bow of an ocean liner! The master bath has a new jetted bathtub and a custom Mango wood vanity and vessel sink!

This gated property is surrounded by a beautiful lava rock wall and borders Pahoehoe Beach Park (an oceanfront beach park with shaded sitting areas, grass and a small keiki (child) friendly beach). A two minute walk takes you to MAGIC SANDS BEACH, the best white sand beach in Kailua-Kona, and famous for body surfing & boogie boarding.
Our home is located just four miles south of the heart of Kailua-Kona village, and two miles north of the Keauhou shopping and cinema complex. Hale Honu is close to everything but is in a world of it's own!

The main living area of Hale Honu ("the house") is upstairs, where there are two nicely appointed large bedrooms, two full baths, and a sunny, open kitchen and living area, leading to the covered tiled lanai. The kitchen is a gourmet's delight with a 5-Star range, french-door refrigerator, and lots of workspace. The 180 degree views of the Kona coastline are breathtaking from the living area. You may never want to leave this spot!

Throughout the home there are open beam cathedral ceilings and nearly floor to ceiling windows making the home light and airy, with full ocean views everywhere. The sound and energy of the ocean are present in every room. Decorated with Balinese antiques, fine art work and elegant tropical furnishings, you will feel like ali'i (royalty) in this home.

Our favorite lounging spot is the queen sized futon on the upstairs lanai-perfect for a shaded nap or sleeping over the ocean!

On the garden/ground level is the third "bedroom", the "honeymoon suite". It has been designed as a complete PRIVATE STUDIO/SUITE with a separate, secured entrance, outdoor garden, dining and relaxing areas. This large (650+ square feet) space includes a king-size bed romatically draped in privacy sheers, and a comfortable sitting area with tropical decor, perfect for entertaining or snuggling (!).

The suite has a complete kitchen with cook-top and refrigerator. The bathroom was luxuriously designed with marble tile and glass block, and a large shower containing dual shower heads, (for sharing of course!). Windows and sliders encompass all of the makai (ocean side) walls, so you can simply let the ocean air in, or step out and be right at the ocean’s edge.
