This oceanfront Kona home is a rare gem—perfectly located, beautifully appointed, and ideal for families or seasoned travelers. As frequent visitors to Hawaii and former vacation rental owners, we were thoroughly impressed. Captain Mark is a superb host, with excellent communication and a warm, helpful local team. Check-in was flawless, and responses to questions came within moments.The setting is truly breathtaking: the pool sits on a peninsula with panoramic ocean views, overlooking a vibrant natural aquarium filled with sea turtles, colorful fish, and more. The home feels both spacious and private, with thoughtful features like a first-floor walk-in shower and ramp to the pool—perfect for our elderly parents.Despite mid-July heat, the home remained cool thanks to ocean breezes, large fans, and bi-fold doors—no air-conditioning needed. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we lacked nothing in two weeks. From beach chairs and snorkels to games like putt-putt and cornhole, every detail was covered.This stay was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return. Mahalo, Captain Mark!

Perfect place to experience Kona.

From booking, to check in, to checkout. Mark, Shellese, and this gorgeous home were amazing. The view as you enter the house and see the Pacific Ocean through the back of the house will take your breath away. The constant ocean breeze flowing through the house keeps the place perfectly comfortable both day and night. The master bedroom is practically heaven, with its private balcony and 2 sliding glass doors. We slept to the sounds if crashing waves every single night. The sunsets from the back deck are stunning and create a dream environment for unending after a fun day exploring all that the island has to offer. I have to add that as amazing as this property is, Mark and Shellese are equally as amazing. They truly welcomed us as ohana. They are two of the greatest people you will meet in Kona. From welcoming us with open arms, providing tips and suggestions for places to eat and things to see, to being graciously accomodating in any needs we might have with check in and check out. We honestly can't get our next trip planned quick enough. We will 100% be back to this property in the future.

Absolutely wonderful time!

The house was everything we needed..plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms..and with a drop dead view and breezes. Walkable to town with a shuttle stop just down the street. Everyone enjoyed the spa and feeding the eels (they finished off the lunch meat and bread on checkout). The owner was super helpful and very responsive.Hated to leave and would love to go back.

Unbeatable ocean front

If you want a convenient ocean front property this is it. This authentic, old Hawaiian beach house has a spectacular, convenient location, stunning ocean views and sunsets and the pool/jacuzzi make you never want to leave. Ocean breezes flow through the house so while there is no AC, it's not needed. It is an older home so don't expect perfection but the owner and team do everything possible to make your stay unforgettable. Home is stocked with everything you need from a fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and coolers. For location and price point it's an amazing property!

Can’t beat the view

As Captain Mark calls it, it is a beautiful old beach house. The doors opening to the pool and ocean beyond kept the place as cool as the out of doors and brought the ocean air throughout the house. Having a little one there made for a bit of a challenge in that she had to be watched continuously, but we knew that going in. The pool is a saltwater pool, but ocean saltwater, which was obviously necessary because the big waves splashed into it. The rooms without direct opening to the ocean could be a little warmer, but not unbearably so. The only issue we had was the frequency of visits by the owner or manager or gardener or pool guy. The communication was outstanding. It did make it feel a little less like “our” place during the stay. All of that said, it was a wonderful place for my family’s vacation.

The location of the property is amazing. The house has ample space. Plenty of beds are available. The kitchen is well equipped. Pool is nice. The pool deck however needs some attention. During our stay, the weather was extremely humid and our little baby felt very hot and uncomfortable. The only air conditioner in the master bedroom however was out of order. Otherwise our stay was very enjoyable. The host and the manager were very helpful and friendly.

Perfect for our three generations

This was such a wonderful place to spend two weeks with family. We all enjoyed the pool a lot. The house has spaces to enjoy solitude if you need to and spaces to be all together without feeling squished. The number of spices, condiments, etc. in the kitchen was nice. Going down Alii drive easily takes you to shopping and eating close by. Mark and Shellese were on top of everything-the communication was great.

Mark was absolutely fantastic to deal with and as well the check in process with his on-site manager was easy after our long flight. The home is just as advertised!! Hearing the ocean waves crash into the pool and the views at night of the sunset were out of this world. Close to downtown and everything we could possibly need was at the house including ice chests, beach chairs, BBQ, body boards....the list is endless.

Best location in Kailua-Kona. The surf can reach the pool. The salt water pool was the most soothing experience. Perfect sunsets sitting at the outside dining table.

LOVE the Location, Amenities, Pool, and Owner! 1500 characters is not enough to describe!

Firstly, we want to stress how frequent the communication process was. Mark provides constant communication, knowledge, pics/videos of the property, & the events of the area. Property manager, Shellese, is the best ever! She met us for check-in, went over all the home's features, and gave many recommendations of places to see, activities, & restaurants. Both she and Mark checked in regularly and sent other places of interest by text or call. The pool is amazing in size for a large group, and we spent a lot of our trip there. It is a great way to cool off in the Hawaii summer. The house does not have air conditioning, which I missed on the listing. However, there are many, many doors and windows to open to get airflow. Shellese stopped by with an extra fan when she found out some were not working. The kitchen is large and appliances in great working order. They have it stocked with all the plates, cups, silverware, food prep material that a large group would need. There were plenty of towels, paper products, everything a home would have and a traveler would not want to pack or buy. There is also a putting range around the property that we had fun with and a whole other lawn area with fresh produce, more putting, and another entrance into the ocean. We had a blast walking on the volcanic rock beach at different times of the day to see all of the ocean life ~ even a turtle! Mark was extremely flexible when we needed a late afternoon checkout due to airline delays. No regrets!

Kona Dream

This house was an amazing place to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. We loved the location, pool and easy walk to town. Check in was a breeze and listing is accurate. There is plenty of room so that you are not on top of each other and can get quiet time on one of the many lanai’s. Cooking is easy in the equipped kitchen with plenty of spices and pantry staples. Mark was responsive and gave us excellent advice for a fishing charter. Loved our recent trip and can’t wait to get back to the big island!

Paradise for our family

This house was perfect for our family of 7 for a number of reasons. First, the location was perfect. It is right in Kona and only a 20 minute ride from the airport. We booked a lot of activities and were super close to the hotels for pick up. The house is within walking distance to town but if you don't want to walk, the free trolley stops across the street and comes by hourly. Second, the ocean is literally right behind the house and the views were unbelievable. The pictures are accurate, but do not do it justice! We saw the most beautiful sunsets each night and were lulled to sleep by the crashing waves. Third, our family is made up of 3 generations and we all live in different states. We had so much fun hanging out and catching up and there was plenty to entertain to everyone. We napped in the sun, played in the pool, fed the eels, fished off the lava rock, had a family movie night, cooked family meals and practiced putting on greens that surround the house. Lastly, the owner was very helpful prior to our stay with offering to assist with arrangements as well as during our stay. This was our first trip to the Big Island and we had an amazing time...it definitely will not be the last. We are already talking about our next visit!

Amazing pool with breathtaking sunsets.

Simply put amazing. Pool is magical and probably one of the best I've been in. Its a very large pool. Overlooks the ocean. If you want a private pool with an ocean at your fingertips this is your stay. This awesome place is a beach house. You get the beach vibe from the moment you drive up. There is a putting green and lots of pool floats. Location is right in the heart of where you want to be. If you want to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves rolling or crashing. Here it is. We had our lanai patio doors open all night and no bugs came in, and I'm a bug phobic person. Large bathrooms and we never ran our of hot water. I had worried about closet space but there was alot of space and tons of hangers. Fans, and almost anything you would need they had. Very very large TVs in living room and master bedroom. Lanais are to die for. I cannot say enough about Mark the host. He was in constant communication in making sure we had what we needed. There was continued pool and grounds cleaning & maintenance that was seamless and behind the scenes. Just the regular care like you need for a spectacular place to keep being spectacular. Washer and dryer was handy. Beach gear and coolers were eazy to find and use. Lots of sunshine, big patio doors and that wide open feeling. Lots of comfortable seating in the indoor living space. Lots of outdoor seating with lounge chairs etc.. you can spot lots of fish, moray eels,and spinner dolphins.

I found my happy place!

We had a family group of 9. The house was perfect for our needs- great kitchen with plenty of supplies, comfortable bedrooms, great living room that opens to the ocean. Loved sitting in the hot tub watching whales and dolphins. Kids spent hours in the pool. Easy walk into town for shops and restaurants. Great hopping off point for adventures. Hope to return again soon. Host is very responsive and helpful. Thank you, Mark.

Excellent View

Exactly what we expected for a beach house on the shores of Kona. Pool and spa were excellent for the days we didn’t travel to a beach and for afternoon Happy Hour. The house had everything we needed from beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas for shade. The kitchen was well supplied, the beds were comfortable and listening to the waves at night put us right to sleep. Mark and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. Excellent hosts and will definitely come back again.

First time on the Big Island

We were 3 adult couples visiting the Big Island for the first time. We wanted to find a reasonably priced house with views of the ocean that would accommodate the 6 of us. The house is in a great location and has beautiful sunsets. The house is worth it for the ocean view alone. It is an easy walk to downtown and to the Voyagers of the Pacific Luau. The house reminds me of your typical beach house with wide open views. We would open all of the doors and enjoy the ocean breezes every night and every morning we would spend time on the lanai drinking coffee and enjoying the ocean before a day of adventures on the island. The bedrooms have King beds with ceiling fans in each room. There is no air conditioning, so the ceiling fans helped to circulate the ocean air at night. The owner was replacing the TVs in the bedrooms during our visit but we never turned a TV on the whole time we were there. He has also purchased the lot next door and is expanding it into a new green area for the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking. We did spend some time enjoying the swimming pool, though I am sure it would have been used more if we had brought our children with us. I had regular communications with Mark, the owner, before and during our stay. He is very helpful and keeps you informed of everything happening at the house and the island. This was a great place to stay and I want to thank Mark for letting us stay in his house. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely be making this our place to stay again.
