GMH at Keauhou Estates 9 Description
Imagine a warm, welcoming place where families and friends can feel a sense of peace, and share in the wonderment of seeing the blue Pacific Ocean stretch out, uninterrupted, from south to west to north. The pictures don’t lie: you have probably never been in a private home with views like these, and they are yours to enjoy from the pool, the spa, the den, both dining areas, the bedrooms, the lanais… you get the idea. Lots of glass here: it’s floor to ceiling in most of the house. Connoisseurs of eye candy, fanatics for light and space, welcome! You’re home.
The property is surrounded by gorgeous tropical vegetation (see photos), lovingly tended since 1992 by one of the Big Island’s most renowned landscapers, Dwayne Richmond. There aren’t many better ways to start a day than having your coffee on one of the garden benches, surrounded by Dwayne’s handiwork. (The vegetation isn’t just pleasing to the eye; it also provides privacy, and a lot of it.) If it’s raining, or if you just want a different perspective, sip your java while taking in the amazing treehouse view from the upstairs lanais- it’s awesome.
To minimize GMH’s carbon footprint, most of our electricity comes from the PV panels on the roof. Power is stored in an Enphase battery array- the first in the state of Hawaii. There's never an extra fee for using the air conditioning at GMH.
Each of the four bedrooms has its own private bathroom, independent air conditioning, ceiling fan, king size bed, and high def t.v. There is a Jacuzzi in the north upstairs bathroom. Returning (and hopefully future) guests might notice the new quartzite pool deck and new tiling on the upstairs lanais. These recent (2025) major renovations, along with a general sprucing-up of the property (both interior and exterior) were important steps to allow us to maintain the beauty and functionality which are GMH's trademarks.
Go ahead and revel in the privacy that is another one of GMH’s trademarks, but don’t worry about feeling too isolated. The common area of the house is basically one big, open room, cooled by breeze or AC, which looks out on the Pacific. Here, you and your family and friends feel connected to the ocean and the sky, and to each other.
The pool (70 feet long) and spa both face the ocean: same incredible view you have from the inside, only now there’s sky over your head. Sitting in the spa with loved ones, beverage in hand, watching the sun drop into the Pacific… don’t be surprised if you get a little teary. I know I do.
Convenience comes with the territory at GMH. Keauhou Shopping Center, with its supermarket, drug store, good restaurants, shops, and urgent care clinic is four minutes away. It’s 15 minutes to the town of Kailua-Kona, with its many attractions. Great snorkeling and surfing lessons are six minutes away at Kahalu’u Beach Park. It’s nine minutes to beautiful La’aloa (White Sands) Beach. Various famous coffee plantations are 20 minutes away. Excellent walking (with spectacular views, of course) is right outside the front door on the immaculate sidewalks and streets of gorgeous Keauhou Estates.
Finally, for those of you who plan to use GMH as a home base for longer excursions, your host would like to provide you with some templates for full-day and half-day trips from the house. These are only suggestions, made available just in case you suffer from the “so many destinations, so little time” syndrome, and are feeling a bit overwhelmed. If you have an interest, please remember to ask for the booklet called “Rob’s Road Trips, Restaurants, and Snorkel Spots” when you reserve the property.
This is a home worthy of its magnificent surroundings, where memories to last a lifetime are created. It would be an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to this place, which means so much to me.
Your host,
Rob
