Enjoy Panoramic Ocean Sunset Views From Your Private, Gated Residence

Luxury Vacation Rental Residence with High-End Furnishings.

In a tranquil residential pocket in the Hawaiian paradise of the Big Island, you’ll discover one of Kona’s premier luxury properties. E Komo Mai is a sophisticated, modern, 5-bedroom residence that contrasts sharp, modernist lines against spectacular ocean views.

From the moment you drive up to the gated residence, the modern architecture of the home grabs you. Beautiful custom Hawaiian lava rock floors greet you as soon as you enter the large open great room. Your worries will melt away as you gaze at the sweeping 180-degree sunset views of the blue Pacific Ocean.

Inside you will find a modern design featuring sophisticated, new Restoration Hardware furnishings intermixed with eclectic pieces thanks to a tasteful interior designer.

You will enjoy indoor/outdoor living with Fleetwood pocket doors that disappear into the walls of the great room and dining room, creating an entertainer's outdoor dream space. E Komo Mai’s expansive rear terrace overlooks sunset views of the Pacific. Spend days floating in the large infinity pool and evenings soaking under the stars.

The Euro-style kitchen is fully stocked featuring stainless steel counters, red lacquer kitchen cabinets, and high-end appliances while the dining room seats 10 with 5 additional stools at the kitchen bar. It includes a Wolf countertop oven and an air fryer.

Downstairs you will find a large master suite with a Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, a large walk-in closet, and a King bed. There is also a guest bedroom downstairs with two twin beds.

As you climb the floating staircase of this spacious residence, you will find warm hardwood floors and breathtaking panoramic views from every room.

Upstairs you will find a second master suite with a walk-in shower, dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and a King bed. This suite features a private lanai with a bar, a sink, and a refrigerator. We love to stay here and take in the sunset. You will also find two additional bedrooms upstairs, one with a King bed and another with two Queen beds and a walk-in closet.

You can live the dream as you watch the sunset over the ocean in this spacious 3,900 sq ft luxury custom home. Want some quiet time? There is plenty of room to find your own private space. Enjoy a movie, curl up with a good book, or gather around the great room for some conversation. You can connect with family and friends while practicing your putting, having a ping-pong tournament, or swimming in the infinity pool.

Once you arrive, you will never want to leave. E Komo Mai! (Welcome in Hawaiian)

Perfection in Paradise
The property itself is stunning. It was a perfect mix of both luxury and comfort. We had a large group of 11 people aged 8 to 80, and all loved the home. The property managers were responsive and helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful house for extended family holiday
We were a family group of 10 people, and we enjoyed this house immensely. Beautiful bedrooms, amazing pool, kitchen is well-equipped. Lots of pool toys and beach gear provided, which was a very nice touch. Pool gets lots of sunshine. Location is good -just a short drive from anything within the Kona area. Neighbourhood is quiet. Families with toddlers, note that the staircase is a bit perilous. Our kids are older so it was fine, but I would have been nervous about it with little ones.

Fantastic home base!
Our stay at this property was 5 star the whole way. House was clean and inviting upon arrival. Slight issue with one of the beds, but Jesse the property manager came over and fixed it right away. Plenty of room for our group of 10 plus our grandbaby to spread out and get some quiet time if needed. The infinity pool was cool and refreshing. There are a ton of beach toys, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. There was even a beach umbrella! You won't be disappointed with your stay!

Comfy and spacious with a view!
We enjoyed our stay at the property. There was plenty of room for our group of 9 (6 adults + 3 kids) to spread out and sleep comfortably. Comfortable furniture overall and we appreciated that the house was stocked with lots of beach gear (umbrella, towels, chairs, snorkel masks and fins, etc.). The pool was just the right size for the kids in our group, and man what a view! Location was also ideal for us - nice and chill neighborhood that felt far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but also just a few minute drive to center of town and multiple shopping complexes. We would definitely consider staying here again during a future visit.

Oasis of calm
The house is so comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and easy. The indoor/outdoor living on the first floor was great. And the views are epic. It was the best way to wake up with coffee and wind down with a drink every morning and night. The house is roomy and great.

Great location
We enjoyed our trip and stay at this location! It was great being closer to town, easy shopping downtown or along the Highway! Can’t wait to come back, hopefully sooner rather than later, it is a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors! Be ready to see pigs, turkeys, peacocks, and a slew of other birds! This location would not be good for those looking to stay up late and make noise, we enjoyed the peace and quiet in the night and bird watching throughout the day

Beautiful house, great for a big family.
Had a lovely week-long stay at this house recently with family, including kids aged 1-7. The house is clean, spacious, well-appointed and well set up for large groups. Everyone enjoyed their stay. Kitchen is well supplied - we had no issues cooking + preparing the bulk of our meals at the house. The extra pool toys, snorkels, goggles, boogie boards, and beach chairs were a really nice surprise, and made use of the pool and visits to the beaches much more pleasant. Would happily return!

Great location.
The highlight of this property is the location and views. The sunsets were stunning. The house itself is also incredible, and very modern. The open concept was great. There were a few issues, noted below: 1. I was not aware the house was not air conditioned. The rooms had split units, but the main family room, dining area and kitchen were not. As a result, it was 80+ degrees in those areas, making it a bit uncomfortable. 2. We encountered plumbing issues in two bathrooms downstairs. One sink was completely clogged and the barhrub had some brown water that came up. 3. Some of the pans were not thoroughly cleaned. We had to scrub them as it looked some like oil was burnt on still. 4. We ran out of paper towels mid stay, and couldn’t access more as they were locked up. Outside these issues, which the property manager Jesse did he best to remedy, the stay was fantastic.

Best family vacation!
We rented this home for us and our kids and grandkids. We had to adjust our dates and the owner made it easy to do. Everyone loved the house. The kitchen had everything you needed. There were beach towels and toys for the kids for the pool. There were awesome beach chairs to bring to the beach along with an umbrella. The master suites were amazing. There was an extra fridge in the garage along with a ping pong table. The location was so close to everything without being in the bustle. We would definitely rent again! The property manager was responsive and was great too!

Amazing View!
Amazing View, Large House, Overall Ok. Here's some issues that would want to bring to owners attention especially this house being a vacation rental... 1st There is a cat population that we counted at least 11+ that is living on property & sleeping on outside furniture leaving cat hair all over & drinking out of the pool, 2nd there is no conventional oven especially for the peoples that likes to cook which is us, 3rd no A/C in main living area, dinning, kitchen & laundry room but when you opened the large glass doors in living & dinning area a cool breeze flowed through with alot of fans on & weather wasn't blazing so it worked out but at least all the bedrooms had A/C so sleeping was comfortable, 4th the pool needs to be re plastered, 5th needs some updating washer/dryer machines were rusted & found alot of termite droppings & it is expected living in hawaii but it can be treated. Overall our stay with a few issues was well rested & we enjoyed ourselves Thank You! Salley Family

Girl Trip
This house was perfect for the trip. I especially loved the discovery of the windows sliding into the walls to completely open the living and dining area to the patio and outside. I do wish a 4.5 Star rating was available. This was better than 4 stars but many small items needed attention. No light over house number made it a challenge to find the first night, pool lights never worked, faucet leaked in main bathroom, side sink was disconnected and not labeled, suspected termites under the coffee table. However, the positives were amazing! Beach towels, chairs and cooler are so handy and appreciated. Excellent kitchen as we cooked and grilled almost every night. And loved the neighborhood. First time we went to the shops and beach area in Kona we were all instantly happy to have our house away from tourists. Incredible sunset views to include both ocean and mountain.

No Oven
While the photos show what appeared to be a kitchen, it’s fake. There is no oven. An ancient Oster toaster oven is on the counter top. There is no exhaust fan over the cooktop. And the microwave is rusted and melted. I expect an oven when I’m paying the kind of fee required to rent such a property.

Disappointed and Photos of inside were deceiving
This was supposed to be a special trip for our family spreading the ashes of my parents. That went well, but the stay at the house was very disappointing. First night we went to climb in bed and in the sheets were crusted bodily fluids along with black pubic hairs. When we called management in the morning, we were made to feel like we lied and that they didn't believe us, that the cleaning staff said they had changed all the sheets. Manager said "let me figure out how I can make it up to you", well a week has passed and no making up to us was done. The word of the cleaners was taken over the guests. The Livingroom furniture is disgusting!!! It was extremely dirty, stained, and worn out. One of the dryers did not work. The pool broke and was dirty, mirky and when I called the manager he did not respond, I texted him a second time later that day finally he responded with leave it alone someone will come tomorrow. Two days of dirty pool. The manager was responsive our first contact but the next couple was when I had to say "hello, did you receive my text", finally would hear from him. The best part of the place were the views, couldn't beat it but after talking with the neighbors, they too said getting ahold of management is next to none and they continue to hear from other customers staying at this house, lots of dirty, lack of manager contact, and a broken pool, seems to be the same with all customers. Very disappointed to say the least. Cinda Ritson & Family

Family time
This was a great property for a family or friends stay. My husband and I had our 3 daughters and their partners and our 10 month old granddaughter with us. Each couple had their own bedroom and full bathroom! Spacious kitchen and living areas and wonderful pool and deck area. Beautiful sunsets were enjoyed every night. A quiet neighborhood made it a relaxing vacation. Close to town and restaurants and the Kona area. Our only downside was the Iron Man world competition was going on and that made for a lot of people in the area.

Perfect for our large group
E Komo Mai was the perfect retreat for our group of family and friends. The tranquil infinity pool is a highlight, offering refreshment after a day of exploring and reinvigorating us before dining out in the evenings. The modern layout, with an open kitchen, dining, and great room is ideal and allowed all 12 of us to enjoy the space at the same time. The Fleetwood pocket doors seamlessly open the house to the pool and patio area, offering sweeping views of the valley and ocean below. Sunsets here are spectacular! The 5 bedrooms are well-spaced and air-conditioned, allowing for privacy as needed during our stay. With 12 adults, we appreciated having 2 master bedrooms, and the bonus private lanai. The beds, pillows, and bedding are luxuriant and reminiscent of a high-end resort. Lastly, the house was spotless and is located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, which is close to everything. The reservation and check-in process was easy and the homeowner and property manager were available if we had needed them. We happily recommend the house and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
