About this property

Large Private Home with Heated Pool and Panoramic Views.

Enjoy a perfect vacation in this private Hawaiian home.

Imagine arriving in Hawaii and pulling up to your own private home with ocean views from every bedroom! This spacious home is located in a beautiful upscale neighborhood and has a private, heated pool, and a huge lanai with one of the best sunset views in Kona.

This home easily accommodates 3-4 couples or 1-2 families and much more affordable and convenient than a nice hotel. It is also baby-friendly, with 2 play-pens, sliding door locks and staircase gate.

Because of its location and elevation (615 ft), you not only get the amazing panoramic ocean views, but also island breezes flowing through the home ensuring fresh air and comfortable temperatures. Conveniently located, you are a short drive (5-10 minutes) from all of the action in downtown Kona, Alii drive and beaches, whale watching adventures and golf resorts, and only 15-20 minutes from the airport.

The main floor of the home offers a large kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room and 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom with a California King size bed, large bathroom, walk-in closet, and opens onto the outdoor lanai. A second bedroom upstairs has a Queen bed and large bathroom across the hall, and also opens up to the lanai.

The lower level includes two bedrooms that access the pool deck. One has 2 Queen beds and the other has a California King and family room with couch and recliner and TV. There's also an additional full bathroom downstairs, conveniently located between the bedrooms.

Elegant furnishings and decorated Hawaiian style (upgraded since our last photos), this spacious home has an open floor plan with high ceilings, large rooms, and two living/family room areas. The kitchen has a counter height table set for 4, center island, stainless steel appliances and is large enough for sharing quality time while the group chef whips up a meal! Extra details are included, such as Reverse Osmosis filtered drinking water, Air Fryer.

Outside, enjoy the incredible manicured landscaping with beautiful tropical plants and flowers (several Plumerias for Hawaiian leis).

The heated pool is an amazing mild saline pool (read more about it on our website, linked below). The large pool deck offers both seating and table arrangements for sunbathing or sitting in the shade under covered areas and lounging, watching the kids swim, or reading a book. It is the perfect place to have fun with your friends and family and also relax, or fire up the BBQ.

According to guests, the lanai is definitely one of the best features of the house. It has 4 different seating arrangements, is covered, and has comfortable temperatures 24 hours a day ~ never too hot or cold. Wake up with your morning coffee while reclining in the lounger and bird watching. We even have a bird book so you can identify the countless varieties. Enjoy your lunch at the bistro table, or create a cozy, romantic dinner at the table for two while watching the sunset.

Sunsets are absolutely amazing with the 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean! We include binoculars for whale watching from the lanai. You can also see surfers at the Big Island's most popular surfing spot!

We need to mention that the house is in a residential neighborhood and our neighbors are very concerned about noise levels at the house. They also have the ability to get our permit to rent revoked. The two main issues we have had were noisy kids in the pool and outdoor conversations after dark. It may be unnatural for children to play in a pool at moderate volumes, but we have to require it. There are other neighborhoods designated resort neighborhoods which would be a better choice for noisier groups. Thanks for your consideration!

We have two security cameras on premises. The doorbell, and one looking at the driveway.


We have a STVR (short term vacation rental) permit issued by the County of Hawaii.

Great House
Our host thought of everything. The house was very well organized, from the snorkel equipment and boogie boards to the fully equipped kitchen with everything one could need. It is genuinely a home organized with the traveler in mind. The lanai encompassed the width of the house and was the perfect place to be for coffee and sunsets.

Best vacay home we have stayed in!
Not only was this house beautiful, it was very clean, homey and had all the amenities we needed. The owners, Jon and Jackie, are simply amazing. They were receptive and did an outstanding job making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. The peaceful setting of their house and backyard made our “downtime” even that much more amazing. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Jon and Jackie for opening up your beautiful oasis! 🌺

Awesome Hawaii Experience
Loved everything about the rental. Manager communication, location, view, amenities, pool, house format. As the manager states, the driveway is a bit steep but that was not an issue for us. Our kids loved the lizards in the volcanic walls. Everything we came up with a need for was already there. It was a very relaxing week, as Hawaii should be.

Perfect Hawaii Vacation Stay
Our family of 6 had the most amazing vacation in Kona and staying in this home was a big part of that! Location was fantastic - close to everything and we also enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the mornings. The house itself is the best VRBO we've ever stayed at. So many extras that made us feel at home. Having the beach umbrellas, chairs and cooler was a huge plus for our afternoons at the beach! The home was very clean, and we appreciated the owners checking in to ensure we didn't need anything. Highly recommend this home and we hope to return!

Amazing stay!
The property was everything we wanted and more! The kitchen had everything we could ever need for our large group and it was beautiful and clean. The house was very large and fit everyone comfortably. The boogie boards were so fun for all of us and the beach equipment was in great shape! The pool was nice and warm and the views and sunsets from the lanai were amazing!! We loved watching for whales and for surfers catching a wave with the binoculars! So many wonderful memories were made in our 2 week stay, I cannot wait to be back again.

First time on the Big Island
We have traveled numerous times to Maui and Kauai, however this was our first stay on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our choice of stay could not have been any better. We were a family of 8 with 3 young children and the home was more than spacious enough to accommodate our needs. The location was ideal and the view from the lanai and pool deck was spectacular. The kitchen is very well equipped and since we ate in most nights suited our needs. We have stayed in many VRBO's and this by far was the cleanest and most equipped. We would like to thank Jon and Jackie for being great hosts and being so responsive. We would definitely stay at this property again. Mahalo from the Rivais family

Perfect Vacation Home for the Extended Family
We've visited the Big Island many times over the years and this has to be one of our favorite vacation rentals we've enjoyed. The house was a perfect layout for our family of four + grandparents and brother-in-law. We all had our separate spaces, but could easily gather in the main living/dining area and spend time on the amazing deck with the stunning views of Kona and the ocean. My kids loved the heated pool - and the owners supplied so many great pool toys and floats for them to enjoy. The kitchen is one of the most fully stocked rental kitchens I've ever used - so many dishes and options for cooking. We made many of our meals and felt at home here. The location is ideal - quiet and private, but very close to town. We were within easy reach of our favorite beaches and snorkel locations. Our hosts were communicative and helpful and we absolutely plan to come back someday!

Everything you need and more!
The house was incredible! Our group of 5 of us spent 5 nights here as we were playing in a golf tournament in Kona. The house was exactly as described in the description and there is nothing at all that wasn't perfect. The kitchen was incredibly stocked with all of the supplies you could need to cook. Tons of spices and dressings left in the fridge. The ice make was full and we had everything we needed. The hosts had all kinds of beach toys, towels, and a book by the front door with instructions for everything. Can not recommend this house highly enough!

Lovely Home In A Quiet Neighborhood
We were very comfortable in this large home that had a gorgeous view. You can tell the owners use it regularly because it is well stocked with all the things you may need. We had some complications with our travel and timeline and they were very kind and supportive. The view is really incredible, and my son loved being in the pool everyday. Two of the rooms have mini splits which made nights cooler, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The quantity of snorkeling and beach gear was impressive! You really don’t need to bring much of that. We enjoyed daily walks in the neighborhood including a local walking trail where we met a lot of the neighbors. Our age ranges were 6-74 and everyone enjoyed it. We did pay a nominal fee to heat the pool even warmer than it already was because we’re wimps. Well worth it! Basically it’s a great house and you’ll be happy here!

Wonderful Property!
Beautiful, comfortable home with everything you need. We had mixed ages and the size and condition of property is excellent. Comfy beds and amazing lanai with breathtaking views! Took a sunset photo each evening and each one was different and amazing! Decor is "tropical" and attractive. We grilled in 2 nights, ate out a few nights and ordered Door dash too. Pool is awesome and plenty of towels/toys as well as a selection of beach supplies too. We found the 2 porta cribs useful though no high chair (as was in the amenities listed) but we brought a camp chair for the 8 mo old which worked great. The breeze and ceiling fans helped keep everyone cooled. Lots of bananagrams at the large dining table. :) Would definitely stay here again (convenient location too) if we are blessed enough to be able to! Mahalo !

25th Anniversary Trip
Jon & Jackie were absolutely amazing hosts! Communication was very timely, and Jackie went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was the best it could possibly be. The house couldn’t have been any more perfect to celebrate our 25th anniversary with our grown children and their spouses/so’s. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us to enjoy meals, games and pool time together, but we also had room to wind down privately when necessary. I could go on and on about how wonderful this home is, but you should check it out for yourself!

Highly recommend Sea Paradise company for a night time snorkel. It is 4.4 miles from the house and the crew was amazing. Jon and Jackie were so available before and during our stay, probably appreciate that the most. Highly recommend renting this beautiful location,

Best Family Vacation Ever!
The house was perfect! It had everything we needed. Very well-stocked and well maintained. View was spectacular. Location could not have been better - 10 min from most of our activities: snorkeling, surfing, ATV riding, beaches. Luau. Jon and Jackie were great hosts-very responsive every time we had a question and went out of their way with helpful suggestions about things to do. We stayed with our adult children and their SOs (all in their early 20s) and it was the perfect place to hang out together but also retreat to their own rooms when they wanted. Everyone had an excellent time. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Jon Berman

Host profile image
Aloha,
We are Jon and Jackie. When we are not in Kona we, live in Missoula, Montana and are lucky enough to travel back and forth enjoying both beautiful states. This house is our only rental, so we can give it and our guests the attention needed.

Each of us were also full-time Hawaii residents at one time. Jon was a local Kona pharmacist and Jackie spent some childhood years growing up on Oahu.

In Montana, we enjoy riding mountain bikes during the summer and playing hockey in the winter ( all 9 months). Although we love the idea of retiring in Kona, we can't give up hockey just yet; Canadians, you understand, right?

We know quite a bit about the Big Island, and we are there often, making improvements to the house.

We work hard to think of ways to make your trip more enjoyable and admit we are a little obsessed with getting 5 star Reviews! Therefore we are always a phone call away if you need anything, even if it's advice on the best beach for your family. We also have many reliable caretakers and contacts that keep everything working and running smoothly.

When there, we enjoy riding our bikes on the nearby Walua road and trail system (a couple of blocks below the house,) and snorkeling.

Jackie likes working in the yard and she landscaped and planted nearly everything.

Whatever we are doing during the day, we always make sure we are home by 6pm to see the most amazing sunsets. Each one is unique night after night and no picture seems to do them justice.

Mahalo for reading , and hopefully you will let us share our amazing home with you and make your next vacation epic :)

Why they chose this property

Like many people, we used to dream of owning a home in Hawaii. Northern winters can be long, dark, and cold. We came here for the weather, but stayed and bought a home because of the people.

Hawaii is, hands down, the friendliest place either one of us have ever experienced. The Aloha spirit is generous, friendly, warm and loving. The Big Island, especially has a casual atmosphere and easy going charm.

And not just locals. Hawaii seems to be a place with diverse populations of people moving in and eager to meet friends. We both agree that Hawaii is the easiest place we have ever made friends and continue to make them every time we come to the island.

What makes this property unique

We started out renting this home and fell in love with the open floor plan, high ceilings and large rooms. We especially like the majestic panoramic ocean views at this higher elevation, better than the close up views on the coast, which seem small in comparison.

Jalousie windows that open on the east and west sides of the house are so important in Hawaii. Why? Because you need the trade winds flowing through your house for airflow to keep it cool and open.

The alternative is closing all the doors and windows at night to run an air conditioner, which is an option in two of the bedrooms. We usually have cabin fever from being in Montana winters, so really enjoy having doors and windows open all day and night.

Another unique benefit of the house design is that it also offers outdoor areas (lanai and pool deck) in the SHADE, which we prefer. Don't get us wrong, there's plenty of sunny areas around the house, if you're a sun lover. But, for fair skinned people, or those who get overheated easily there's also plenty of covered areas to lounge around and enjoy the outdoor pool, garden, and views.

The neighborhood is upscale and friendly with many dog walkers who like chatting on their morning treks, but also quiet and uncongested with traffic and people. There's also flocks of turkeys who strut down the streets, plenty of colorful birds, and even a neighborhood owl that flies around, who once even bathed on the top step of our pool.
