Kona Bay Estates Hale Kai Olu

Kona Bay Estates Hale Kai Olu Description

Welcome to Hale Kai Olu – A Classic Oceanfront Retreat

Peaceful, private, and truly special, Hale Kai Olu is a custom-built oceanfront home in Kailua-Kona that feels like a real home—not a resort. Set within a gated oceanfront community with 24-hour security, this well-loved property offers generous space, direct shoreline access, and sweeping ocean views toward Kona Village.

While the community itself is gated, beaches in Hawaiʻi are public by law. Guests enjoy easy access to the shoreline and can walk along the coast while still benefiting from the privacy, security, and quiet atmosphere of this unique neighborhood.

The true value of Hale Kai Olu lies in its unbeatable oceanfront location, spacious layout, and serene surroundings. It’s an ideal choice for guests looking for an authentic Hawaiʻi experience—one rooted in comfort, character, and a deep connection to the ocean rather than a modern resort-style stay.

This home has been cherished by the same family for many years and was where the owners raised their children. Designed by an architect known for capturing the island’s natural trade winds, the home stays comfortable most of the year with only rare need for air conditioning. These walls have seen laughter, celebrations, and countless sunsets, and now the home is ready to welcome guests to create their own memories. Experience the charm of early 2000s Hawaiian architecture in this meticulously maintained custom-built family home. Hale Kai Olu offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, spacious functional design, and timeless charm, featuring a bright open-concept floor plan, generous room sizes, and original one-of-a-kind artisanal koa wood details throughout.

Great Views

4/5

The house was great . Great views . Nice and clean. Spacious .

The Perfect House

by Janice 2025-04-24

5/5

We stayed at Hale Kai Olu in Kona Bay Estates and we loved the house, the location (close to stores and the highway), the pool and hot tub, and the nearby beach. We had to have our passes to get into the neighborhood redone because the first set didn't work. We had fast, efficient customer service to remedy this. We used all the bedrooms and the bed next to the living room without complaint. The kitchen is well-supplied and the gift basket was appreciated. The hot tub was heated twice a day and flowed into the pool, heating it, which suited us well. The pool is deep. If you have littles, or if you want to hang out in the pool all day, you will need some water wings for the littles and floaties for the adults. After walking along the pathway along the beach, we believe that this house had the best pool set-up for families. Be aware of the spaces between the driveway flat lava pavers! The grass between the pavers is growing from the level of the bottom of the stones, and the space is deep. Although beautiful, the whole driveway is a tripping hazard for the unaware. We all had such a great time in this house that the 2 four-year olds just wanted to stay and live here forever, and were disappointed returning home to the snow. This was the perfect house for the 9 of us.

We had such a great time !

by Janice 2025-04-29

Beautiful and relaxing Home!

by Michelle 2024-12-18

Our family absolutely loved this home!! A beautiful relaxing “home” that you will not want to leave. Only disappointment was a broken hammock and the photos showed 2 as well (only 1 & broken). The home has an amazing layout and accommodates a large family/group very well.

Aloha,
Thank you for reporting this issue. We have already begun to take steps in replacing the broken hammock and making sure there are two present. We wish you the safest travels back home !

Asked dillon to take a look at the hammocks so that we can contact the owners to replace them

Perfect Location!

by Steve 2024-10-04

The house was beautiful, the location was perfect and the service was great. We highly recommend using Kona Coast Vacations for your trip to Hawaii.

Best vacation

by Jamil 2024-08-28

I stayed at, Kona Bay Estates: Hale Kai Olu, for two weeks. Best vacation I ever had as an adult so far. Mahalo.

Enjoyed Our Time

by Scott 2024-09-04

First of all, my family and I really enjoyed our time at the property. We were there for a variety of occasions including anniversaries, birthdays, and my recent retirement. We had nine people ranging from us, the grandparents, to children aged eight to 18 months. The home and it's ohana (guesthouse), easily accommodated the group. The home itself was functional, but the the staged photos on the website are much nicer than we experienced. In addition, the ohana needed to be cleaned when we arrived. They supplied plenty of towels, the kitchen well stocked, but very dated. The location was incredible, and made it easy to overlook some of the challenges and the management company was very attentive to all of our needs.

Better Than Described

by Sarah 2024-07-30

We spent a long time dreaming of our family's week in this home, based on the description there was a lot to be excited about! It was better than described. The house was beautiful and clean and somehow bigger than described. There was plenty of space for our multigenerational family of 8. There is a gorgeous beach that you can walk to, but honestly I'd have been happy to never leave the property, some in our party hardly did. Sitting outside looking at the water, the air smells of flowers. Its heavenly. Highly recommend.

a gorgeous ocean view

by Lori 2024-06-20

Our extended family of eight enjoyed this property immensely! It is situated on the oceanfront with a gorgeous ocean view and has a Sandy little beach with a hammock which the kids loved playing in with their sand toys. There is a short walking wall before you get to the oceanfront. The wall is a one and a half mile walk which we enjoyed doing every day. The kids enjoyed the pool, and the adults enjoyed the spa in the evenings between six and eight when it was heated. There is a beautiful covered lanai which we enjoyed throughout the day. There is a closet right there on the patio that has beach and pool toys, and chairs for your use. This house has a very well stocked kitchen. There are pots and pans,utensils, glasses and dishes galore. The living room is very large with enough Seating for all of us. With the way the bedrooms are situated and the guest house as an additional sleeping area, we were all able to spread out and not get in each other’s way. There are six possible sleeping rooms on this property. Five of them are absolutely perfect. One of them on the main level has a double bed but is a very warm room. We utilized the attached bathroom but not the bed. All other bedrooms are great! We love that this property is within walking distance to historic Kailua-Kona district (if you have no mobility issues.). We loved Kai’s Eats and Huggo’s, both oceanfront. We enjoyed lunch at Kona brewing which has a tropical garden outdoor eating area. 5 star property in all!

The decor was amazing!

by Jeseika 2024-04-14

The decor was amazing! The pool is smaller than it appears in the photos but we really enjoyed this home.

Best You Can Find

by Jenn 2023-10-18

The location of this house is perhaps the best you can find. Within the gated community, on the ocean and walking distance from town... just not sure you can find this combo anywhere else. We were a group of colleagues who enjoyed our stay here. The sunsets on the back porch or from the pool were epic. Note to future guests, what appears to be a hot tub in the photos is actually only heated for two hours (6-8pm) a day. We'd definitely come back!

Dream Come True!

by Lori 2023-09-29

Our stay at this beautiful property was a dream come true! There were nine adults and one toddler and not once were we lacking for space. We took full advantage of the outdoor pool area, the bbq and the nearby Keiki beach. Each morning we were in the pool around 7 am , we went sightseeing after breakfast and returned in the afternoon to go back in the pool or to the beach and cooked dinner for everyone in the well stocked kitchen. We got the chance to get to know our new Australian ohana and celebrate all of us being together. What a memorable vacation! Thank you for the chance to let us come together under your roof and to enjoy the island of Hawaii!

Hidden Gem with a Great Vibe!

by Cristy 2023-08-16

We stayed with another family whilst fishing a tournament that left everyday from the local pier. We happily and easily walked it which made life so much easier! You can walk easily to the main street of restaurants but UBERS were also very easy to get. The house was spoilt for choice with rooms. We did find the downstairs bedroom although large in itself the bed size was more like a double. Not a queen. The pool and proximity to the beach is definitely the highlight! Kitchen is well equipped just needs some sharp knives or steak knives! We also only found a few pool towels which they requested you use over the bathroom towels (there were plenty of those!) Lastly it has a "hot tub" but it doesn't get hot! The property is in a gated community and makes you feel so safe. We really did have such a good time and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Amazing Location!

by Teresa 2023-08-07

As a family of eight, ranging in age from age 2 to 63, we all enjoyed the house, its pool, hot tub, reefs and location to the tide pools. The house is also conveniently located to nearby stores and restaurants. This large house had enough comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, including a detached Ohana. The great room was a wonderful gathering place, and right off the dining room and kitchen so we could all be together when we wanted, but rooms to retreat to for quiet time. The house is lovely and well appointed for every visitors' needs. The A/C worked well, and ceiling fans made our nights very comfortable. The best part of the house is its location. The sunsets were amazing and we will cherish the memories we made, especially since we all live in different parts of the world today and our time together is precious. We would recommend this house for any large family or group. We also appreciated the help from the house's management company's concierge, David, who helped us arrange special family events, such as family pictures, a private chef and excursions. We hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did. Mahalo and Aloha!

Welcoming and Spacious

by Martin 2023-08-02

This home was even more welcoming and spacious than the listing conveys. Comfortable, spacious and well apportioned, and it's beach side location is perfect - a feeling of your own “private beach” within a gated community, and the convenience of nearby shops and restaurants.

Great Amenities and Location

by Marilyn 2023-07-17

Our 9 member 3 generation family was celebrating 3 graduations. Great amenities and location. We especially enjoyed to pool right at ocean front, the fireworks viewing from the deck and the beautiful sunsets from the front wall. KVC responded promptly to any concerns we had, which were minor.

Would love to do it again!

by Penne 2023-06-20

This was our dream to bring our family to Hawaii. We chose this home because we were sure we could walk to town, being on the beach, having a pool, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for the 10 of us. Would love to do it again!

Right on the ocean

by Richard 2023-04-29

Tremendous time at this property. Very clean, management company responsive, very close to all excursions, great neighborhood, amenities functioned as advertised and right on the ocean. Would come back for sure!

Beautiful View

by Lawrence 2023-04-04

Beautiful view, saw whales from yard, centrally located

Everything We Expected

by Larry 2023-02-22

The home was everything we expected based upon the information and pictures. There were 8 of us and we were all comfortable in the home. Well stocked kitchen for meals and new Weber Grill for BBQ. Pool was great and the spa was heated from 5 to 8 each evening which was perfect for our group. High chair was a bonus and saved renting one. We did rent a playpen but there is one at the house which we did not know. Lots of pool stuff, and beach items though all of these things were not promised. Ideal location and home for family or say 3 couples to stay at and great location in Kona itself.

Hard to Leave

by Kristine 2023-02-14

It was hard to leave the property because the view, sandy beach and patio were so perfect! The house is warm, somewhat eclectic and great for 5 couples. Everyone had space to roam or be together. My only complaint is the beds were a little small in some of the bedrooms for two adults.

Outstanding Location

by James 2023-01-23

Outstanding location on the point that allows fantastic morning sunrises over the mountain, afternoon whale spotting and amazing sunsets! Walk to town or to the old airport beach Only disappointed with the outdoor furniture which needs to be updated to really match the rest of the house and views. The first day we went to Cotsco and bought some beach chairs to use. The main upstairs bedroom has fabulous deck but poor furniture again so can’t really use it to take advantage of the beautiful views .

_____________________________________

Response from KCV:

Mahalo for taking the time to leave a review on your time in Hale Kai Olu. Based on your feedback, the property owner has replaced the outdoor furniture and refinished the lanai table.

Fine

by Janet 2023-01-02

Really fine. Biggest problem: entrance through the gate and very unhelpful guards. This detracted from the overall stay.

Beautiful Sunsets

by Kim 2022-12-26

The gate staff is great, beautiful sunsets. We could see the glow from the Volcano at night. House was very equipped. Check the door by the pool for lots of beach stuff. I would totally stay here again. Love it

Loved the House!

by Heidi 2022-11-27

Our family of ten loved the house and the location very much! When we had questions, the management team responded very quickly. The walk to town is not obvious and unfortunately did not discover you can walk along the beach until the last day… Otherwise the street path is overgrown and fenced. Just fyi! Thanks for sharing your wonderful property!

Magnificent House

by David 2022-11-02

We all enjoyed our stay at your property. The house is magnificent with ample room for all 9 of us. We loved the location and enjoyed the pool and spa. We would definitely stay there again.We absolutely loved this property. The house is huge and wonderfully decorated. It’s very comfortable and was stocked very well. The location can’t be beat and having the ocean, a pool, and spa was awesome. Sunsets from the lanai’s we’re amazing. The house is so close to Ali’i Drive and to everything Kailua-Kona has to offer.

Top Notch Property Management

by Nicole 2022-08-17

We're from AK and has family from TX & CO meet us. House is older but still amazing and perfect for our family! Location is fantastic & property management is top notch!

Wonderful House!

by Rebecca 2022-07-24

Wonderful house! David set up amazing excisions especially the island tour & guide Bryce. Would recommend dealing with your company over Vrbo anytime.

Very Clean

by Michele 2022-07-05

Very clean and had everything we needed. Only issue I had was getting a working QR code for the front gate but otherwise all was good

Wonderful property!

by Laura 2022-06-04

Wonderful property! Plenty of room for our party of 7 to have their own rooms and space. View is spectacular and beach is just steps away. Pool and hot tub were well maintained and functional. Amazing vacation!

Beautiful and the Location was Perfect

by Barbara 2022-04-19

My family had not been all together for 5 years, we had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the pool, the beach, especially the sea turtle that was in the pool on the beach and just hanging out on the property!

House is in a Perfect Spot

by Roselyn 2022-02-09

This house is in a perfect spot to get to things: to shop, to drive to visit sights, and to enjoy the amazing ocean vista. It also is a popular location for cruise ships, so you will be treated to comings and goings of various ginormous boats parked in the ocean in front of the house. There is also a snorkeling lagoon steps from the house, which was wonderful for the beginner snorkelers in our group. The house is very spacious and generous in space, 8 adults had plenty of room. Wonderful kitchen and seating areas with a huge tv. We ate all of our meals on the lanai with the fabulous ocean view. Some problems: the room over the garage is not up to par, both the sink and bathtub did not drain and the mattress should be replaced. The kitchenette was not outfitted as stated, so we had to bring things over from the main kitchen. Also the hot tub does not work. I called the office and they said it was NOT a hot tub, but a spa. (The listing had an icon indicating there was a hot tub.) She said a timer makes it warm 4 hours a day, but that was not true. One day the pool guy came and turned it on for us, so we did have one day with a 104 degree hot tub, but it never worked again after that. We were very disappointed in this because one of the reasons we chose this listing was for the hot tub. Since we payed a lot for 11 nights, we expected everything to work. All in all, it is a beautiful house in a great location, but we would probably not rent there again.

Everything was Perfect!

by Justine 2022-01-04

Everything about our rental and experience at this house was perfect. The house had an ideal amount of space for 7 of us (aged 18-87) to both interact and relax alone. The location is close to shopping and dining, and Keiki Beach is just steps away. We saw whales and dolphins from the lanais and plenty of tropical fish in the ponds. Sunset from this location is amazing too. The house was well outfitted for cooking in, and there are myriad towels for sunbathing and beach time. Would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!

Exceptionally Well Placed!

by Amy 2021-12-28

This property is exceptionally well placed. The keiki pond and nearness to the coastline is parallel to none and everything thing is close by. The house is comfortable. Beds are comfortable and there was plenty of space for our extended family of 9. We are going through withdrawal!!!

So worth it!

by Martha 2021-09-17

This house is beautiful. The views and location are so worth it. The layout worked great, there were 8 of us and we had plenty of room and privacy.

Absoloutley Stunning Views

by Mark 2021-09-01

The place was just right for our family of 6 people. Nicely decorated, every bedroom with its own bath, absolutely stunning views

Definitely recommend!

by Kristi 2021-04-17

Very happy with the house and location. Traveling with 5 adult couples. We all had our own bed/bath. The outdoor dining was perfect. Loved the backyard beach, hammocks and lounge chairs. Would definitely recommend, stay again.

Beautiful Home

by Patricia 2021-02-17

Our family of 10 fit perfectly in this beautiful home on KEIKI POND in Kailua Kona! Though some of the furnishings were on the worn side, the property more than made up for it! We have LONG wanted to stay near this beach and took full advantage of of being so close to the warm waters of KEIKI POND!

Beautiful

by Vince 2020-12-05

It was a beautiful and well located home, close to town but felt far away from everything. Fully stocked with everything so we never felt like we were lacking... and the view kept us from wanting to go anywhere but the backyard.

The House Was Amazing!

by David 2020-11-16

Covid what? We decided to take a break from the mainland Covid crisis in November, after the Islands opened things up in mid October. Great decision, as we selected a home on the beach in Kona Bay Estates managed by Kona Coast Vacations. I did WFH in the mornings and the kids did School from home in the mornings, then we played all afternoon. KCV was great with communication, set us up with grocery store stocking in the house, a private chef for a few nights and responded to a few of our requests during the stay in a fast manner. The house was amazing, great sunsets and sunrises. The house had not been occupied since March so there were a few issues to deal with and KCV was all over it. To me that's the measure of a management company…what they do when problems happen. It was a great experience and we wish we stayed a week longer, two weeks was not enough.

Perfect!

by David 2020-11-11

2 adults with 4 high school kids, doing WFH in the mornings and play in the afternoon. We needed a new reality after being stuck at home 7 months and boy did we select the right house to rent. Walk outside and on the beach or in the pool. Early morning exercise walks before school and work. We even had a private chef deliver us food so we did not go out to dinner but a few times. It was perfect!

Stunnig Home!

by Daniel M 2020-03-28

Stunning home near in Kailua. Very handy to activities and supplies.

Can not say enough about this home

by Joanne 2020-03-09

Perfect for a large family, or with us 5 adult couples... everyone had their own privacy, and still were able to enjoy everyone company. The pool is big enough and you also have a hot tub. The yard is beautiful with the large deck and white sand out front.I think this is one of the nices areas on the island. you can see whales with their new babies, and dolphins everyday out front, and just have to walk a few houses and be at a great beach. As always David is the best with helping you with anything you need, from booking the best snorkel trips, to advising you to the shops and entertainment in the area. He is always just a phone call away, and helps you with whatever you may need to make you trip better. I look forward to next year with Kona Coast rentals, they are always available for any problem, and the service is a 10!

perfect vacation

by Rhonda 2020-01-30

We stayed at Kona Bay Estates Hale Kai Olu. It was the perfect vacation. Great communication and wonderful vacation home! Best choice!!

Great house

by Arlene 2019-12-11

Great house. Great view. We will be back!

Guest Review

by Deborah 2019-08-23

The view is beyond amazing. The local swimming area is about 4 houses down. The house was very nice.There was plenty of things to do very close. We had 4 generations from ages 81 to 4 years old and there was something for everyone. There were lots of positives about this property l, the only complaints, which is very minor are...the trash was full when we got there on Tuesday and they did not come on Thursday to set the cans out. We got one out there in time to get it dumped but the other remained full so we were limited on a place to get ride of our trash. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and body soap because theirs was very generic with shampoo and a bar of soap only lol. The kitchen is set up in a very non flowing way. But has enough pots & pans etc to cook all your meals, if you so chose to. Like I said just minor things.

Family Vacation & Anniversary in Heaven

by Robert (Alex) 2019-07-18

Unbelievable property on the Big Island. Mornings drinking coffee on the patio watching the morning the sun and ocean hitting the lava rocks and listening to the beauty that was Hawaii. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our family of 10 vacationing and also our celebrating our 30th anniversary. Plenty of room for everyone in this island paradise. The Master BR was incredible with the views overlooking the beach and ocean which we woke up to everyday thinking we were in heaven. Large great room for everyone to gather after a day of exploring the island. The house is very private in a gated community yet a short walk in to town and to explore the area. Would definitely recommend walking over to Umeke's for fresh Poke but if you are a large party call ahead as we did have to wait one night longer than expect. Kona Brewery is just right next door for a nice pint. David at Kona Coast Vacations was a great source for local things to do and provided us with great advice and helped us book several trips while on the island. We were so sad to leave as we really became attached to the house and its beautiful location. Definitely would come back and stay on our next trip to the islands.

Absolutely amazing

Good location. Just south of Town of Kona. Lots of space in home. Comfy beds and bed towels. Fun pool floats and beach toys (we did buy more for the house).

Beautiful!!!
