About this property

Hale Pua: Private Oceanfront Luxury Home w/Pool, Spa, AC & Lanai - Relax & Enjoy

Hale Pua by Gather is a spectacular oceanfront home that is ready to welcome your entire extended family through its gated entry for the vacation of a lifetime. Located on Ali’i Drive along the rugged Kona coastline of the Big Island, this home boasts five air-conditioned bedrooms, six spacious bathrooms, and plenty of space to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Walls of ocean-facing glass open to maximize your enjoyment, from the sound of the waves crashing upon the rocks to the cool breezes blowing off the water. Watch the surfers catch the perfect wave and witness the wonders of mother nature from your backyard as you watch a pod of dolphins or turtles swim by, or marvel at the Humpback whales in the distance as they spout water high into the air, breach, or slap their fin against the surface of the water. This private oceanfront retreat has the perfect backdrop for eating al fresco, swimming, sunbathing, and marveling at amazing sunsets.

The kitchen and dining area are drenched in natural light and feature views of both the pool and the crystalline ocean. Cooking mouthwatering meals is effortless in Hale Pua’s kitchen, with state-of-the-art appliances, all the cookware you need, and two separate islands providing ample counter space and bar seating. Massive sliding glass doors open up to a large outdoor dining table, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with the gentle island breeze. Ready to feel refreshed and rejuvenated? Take a dip in the private saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub for a while. Enjoy yoga or watch the kids play on the lawn as the adults watch over them from lounge chairs positioned just outside the glass sliders that lead back into the comfortable living room, with its oversized sectional and flatscreen TV.

There’s no need to argue about who gets which room since every bedroom has a king-size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and its own full-size ensuite. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves in your sizable primary suite, with stunning ocean views both from the king-size bed and your private lanai that runs the length of the room. The primary bathroom treats you to double sinks, a walk-in closet, and a large tiled shower. The Ohana room can be enjoyed as a second primary suite with its king bed in the upstairs loft, downstairs bathroom, and sitting area with a queen sleeper sofa. For days when you need to check your work email, the office includes a workspace, as well as two twin beds where additional guests can lay their heads. The home includes a media room with an 80-inch TV, nine reclining seats, and hundreds of Blu-Rays for an epic movie night. There is also a game room where the family can hang out and play board games and charades or lounge on the comfortable sleeper sofa. In addition, you can keep packing to a minimum with the use of two full-size washers and dryers in the dedicated laundry room.

Whether you’re looking for relaxation or excitement, a fun-filled vacation is guaranteed as you spend your days enjoying the peace, tranquility, and beauty of Hale Pua, partake in adrenaline-producing activities, or explore the restaurants, shops, beaches, and cultural landmarks in the area. From Hale Pua, it’s a five-minute walk to Turtle Cove, where you can search for marine life in the tide pools, snorkel, surf, or go kayaking. Nearby, downtown Kailua-Kona provides numerous ocean activities, including scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Take a tour of Hulihe’e Palace, once home to native Hawaiian royalty, it’s now a museum featuring artifacts from the time of King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi’olani. Just across the street, you can visit Mokuaikaua Church, Hawai’i’s first Christian Church established in 1820. Out of town, you may also want to consider visiting the Observatory on Mauna Kea to do some stargazing and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park for the opportunity to see the lava flow, a potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Fantastic property

It was wayyyy more than we needed for just two of us, but we had an amazing time. The views are fabulous at any time of day or night, but my favorites were the evening sunset ones. The property was immaculate and extremely well equipped with everything you would need to host a large group of friends or family. And the lanai,with outdoor dining and deck chairs, m pool and hot tub were the cherry on top. This property’s it all in a great location, was easily accessed with plenty of parking and, a huge kitchen, 2 sets of washer/dryers, loads of bedrooms and space for everyone to spread out and relax. Not to mention the full wall sliding glass doors and direct ocean frontage. I highly recommend it.

The Best!

Oh my gosh this was the Best vacation ever! We bought food to cook and never had to leave the property our entire stay there. We had a semi beach for the kids and adults to play in. And every thing else and then some was right there. The View and home were absolutely stunning. Thank you, our stay was worth every single penny.

Family Christmas Reunion

This is a large beautiful home with plenty of room for people to spread out and yet be close. We all enjoyed watching the surf and the relaxing sound of waves throughout our stay.Communicating with three different management groups including VRBO became confusing and tedious.

Ocean Front Stay

The property was beautiful and had more than enough space for our crew of 15. Three family’s all had sufficient space to have proper numbers of beds. The pictures online are very accurate. The double fridge, washer, dryer and dishwasher’s was a very nice touch. You are right in the edge of the ocean which offered the must beautiful views and spectacular sunsets, however if you have little ones be careful they are climbing on the ocean wall can be very dangerous. Everything in the house worked well. Overall amazing experience.

Great house for large group

Our group of three families had a great time at Hale Pua. Large, comfortable, well-stocked. The house is on a busy street but road noise was never a problem. The location is great for exploring the island. Would definitely recommend and return if we get the chance.

Picture perfect!

For a family of sixteen with eight adults and 8 kids this home was perfect for our vacation. The pictures on the listing can’t possibly depict how beautiful this home actually is and how breathtaking the views are from the backyard. The home was very clean and well maintained. There is more than adequate space inside and out for a large family. The property management team is top notch and quickly addressed any issues. They checked in on us several times and were very responsive and professional. We do a family vacation every other year with our kids and grandkids and this location/home is tops on our list.

Stunning post card worthy views, great location, close to town, and wonderful, communicative hosts. Would be lucky to stay here again in the future. There are a few things to borrow for the beach but it would be nice if an umbrella, cooler and beach chairs were available to use as you'll have to source those for yourself.

Very nice setting, good parking, plenty of space for everyone. For a large group it worked out well. 4 families 12 people and did not feel crowded . Kitchen well appointed however rice cooker did not work. House right on ocean so beautiful views, sounds of waves crashing. Minor issue with hot tub, managers quickly resolved. Good location

Great house!

We rented this house with a days notice. Our flight was canceled and our family of 12 suddenly was without accomodations. Not only was the house everything that we needed as a large family, but the management company was outstanding and made the rental process fast and easy. When half of our family had a new fllight cancelation once again, we needed to extend our visit by a day and even that process was made easy. They went over and above to accomodate us at time when we were all feeling in a panic. You won't go wrong renting this house!

Friends enjoyed Hale Pua

The home was as advertised. We had plenty of room and beds for 5 couples. We spent many evenings eating outside and enjoying the beautiful sunset and view. The theater room was a bonus and a great place for our group to take in a movie. We had a fabulous time and Hale Put met or exceeded our expectations.

Two Families Getaway Trip

Beautiful to be on the Ocean with a pool as well! The house was well-equipped and spacious we had two families with grown children and two babies, a total of 14 adults. The property managers were very responsive to any of our needs. It would have been nice to have some beach chairs which we had to rent. Also lacked any sort of cleaning supplies, besides dish soap. But overall, we had a wonderful and memorable experience on our trip to the Big Island!

50th Anniversary Trip

We loved our stay at Hale Pua! Beautiful, spacious and comfortable accommodations and absolutely breathtaking views! Waves crashing over the seawall, sunrises and sunsets and so much more. Close to downtown Kona, yet completely private. Our young grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the media room of course! The adults were thrilled with the setting. We had a wonderful time!

Great views and location

The location and the house were great. Worth every penny. There were a few things that did come up during our stay: 1. The water heater shuts off at night. If you have a large family staying that showers at night, you will run out of hot water 2. There were roaches in some of the rooms 3. On the bottom floor office bathroom, every morning, you have to run the water for a few minutes as brown water would some out. 4. The water fall at the pool was not functioning 5. Wi-Fi was not working the first few days but they were able to come by and replace the Wi-Fi routers 6. They had gardeners come during the day and we were not able to use the pool or hang out. Overall, it was a good property with beautiful views. The family enjoyed it and would come again, hopefully with the issues above resolved.

Beautiful property in a great location! Loved the pool and hot tub and the backyard had enough grass for the kids to play soccer and football.

Being in Hawaii alone is breathtaking, but to have this house and this view just made our trip that much better. This house is even more beautiful in person!! It’s an actual dream home, I can’t recommend it enough. Or family of 16 fit perfectly and everyone was so impressed by how gorgeous it was.

This spacious home is located right on the edge of the water providing glorious views and the sound of the sea throughout the day. The home is beautifully equipped with top of the line kitchenware, table top, bedding and furniture. The "theater" room was a bonus. Though we worried about noise from the busy road adjacent to the property, the home was very quiet and peaceful. Terrific location convenient to activities and shopping.

50th Anniversary Family Reunion

Hale Pua is an extraordinary resort home that hosted four families and a total of 13 people very well. We love big kitchens for our family reunions and this one was perfect. The pool was a real plus for our young children for there are no children friendly beaches nearby. Great WIFI! Home needs some TLC for its equipment... main refrigerator not working properly... temperature reading wrong, not maintaining temp for standard groceries, ice maker not working. AC in Master Bedroom did not work. Back patio sprinklers come on in the middle of the day. Hot tub is very slow to heat. Master Bedroom Shower Heads were broken. Good location as a KONA "basecamp"...easy to get into town, head to nearby attractions, and right on the ocean. We arrived a couple of days early to get to know the area. The hotel we were staying at had a 11 am departure rule and we were unable to get into the home before 4pm. Same with our COSCO grocery concierge which created frustration for us and the concierge.
