About this property

Best of Kona: pool, hot tub, walk to ocean, free wifi, newly remodeled

This lovely home sits on over half acre lot surrounded by palm trees, lush green lawns and tropical flowers with gorgeous views of the ocean. Resort style backyard with private pool with waterfall and a hot tub creates a relaxing oasis to enjoy at any time of the day or the evening and will make you want to stay forever.

Fall asleep to the sound of palm trees rustling and wake up to the birds chirping right outside your window. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances, gadgets, cookware and much more, whether you choose to simply enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Kona coffee before starting your adventures or prepare a full meal. There is also a grill and lots of outdoor furniture if you choose to cook and eat while enjoying the beautiful backyard.

Many windows in the house bring in cool Hawaiian breeze, and there is air-conditioning for warmer days or humid nights.

Three bedrooms: king in the primary room, queens in the two guest rooms and a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room. Bring the youngest ones with you. We have two Pack 'n Plays and a stroller. Well stocked with luxury linens and ample towels along with fun stuff like beach chairs, pool toys, ice-chests and coolers. The park across the street is great if you choose to play ball or Frisbee.

Free WIFI with high speed internet along with a 65 inch TV in the living room is perfect for watching a movie or your favorite series at the end of the day, streamed over high-speed Internet from Amazon, Hulu and/or Netflix. A good selection fo board games and books are also available for some quality down time. Telephone service provides free calls throughout the US and Canada.

About the host

Hosted by Sean and Anjali Ellis

Host profile image
Sean and Anjali call Half Moon Bay, a coastal town just south of San Francisco, home. Sean is a typical Silicon Valley computer geek, and Anjali enjoys helping families buy and sell homes. They lead busy lives, but find time to travel, experiencing different cultures and places around the world.

Why they chose this property

A few years ago, Anjali and Sean took a trip to Hawaii, and fell in love with the Big Island. Trips thereafter led to discussions Kona as a retirement destination, which offers a perfect blend of culture, leisure activities, beautiful drives and diverse landscapes. In early 2018, they purchased this house to rent out for vacationing guests.

What makes this property unique

The house is close to town, in a gated community surrounded by lovely homes and friendly neighbors. Don't forget to wave back. This house has a beautiful pool, enjoyable with plenty of privacy. A path leads to the beach and to town, both easily walkable. Kona satisfies every want: restaurants, shopping and activities.
