Originally designed as children's rooms and Nanny quarters; the home offers 3 additional bedrooms off of the main living room and off of Her walk-in closet and bathroom. First room, Guest Bedroom 1, accessed from the living room offers a full size bed. This room has a door into Her Master walk-in closet and bathroom. A second middle bedroom, Guest Bedroom 2 is accessed from the 1st guest bedroom or through a private outside door off of the main garden entrance and front Grand Balinese entrance. This bedroom offers a Balinese queen size pier bed and a small window-mounted air conditioner.

Guest Suite 1 and Guest Suite 2 offer king size beds with private en suite bathrooms for each. These Guest Suites are designed like the Grand Master Suite in that they completely open up to the outside boasting wonderful views of the gardens, and up to the mountains from Guest Suite 2; and the gardens, the pool and out through the amazing array of palm trees to view the ocean from Guest Suite 1. This wing of the house offers a laundry/housekeeping room as well as an office/massage room. Situated on a large 39,000 square foot lot; the 70ft long outdoor pool, hot tub and zero entry kid pool is designed as a tropical paradise. The home is equipped with an array of water sports toys including kayaks, stand up paddle boards, long boards, body boards, and life jackets. The shoreline in front of the Bay house allows for ocean access in the unique local Big Island way. . . descending and traversing lava rocks(no stairs to ocean just rocks). A few areas offer smooth pahoehoe lava rocks that formed natural steps to assist in climbing in and out of Keauhou Bay. A natural lava rock island sits just a few steps out from the property and is the perfect place to enjoy your moment of choice. From the island, stepping back on the lava rocks towards the house, feet now in the sand, looking back up at the Hokukano Bay house; you feel as if you are on stage as the custom stamped concrete stairs invite stadium seating view of where you stand. A great location for your special ritual or celebration; and a great home for your family vacation or intimate retreat getaway.

Keep in mind this home is cooled by natural breezes and only one of the kids rooms in the back has air conditioning.

Great property but needed some love
First the good news: A beautiful home in a great location. We had a memory-making family trip at this property. The property managers Anne and Ty were wonderful to deal with. I gave it less than 5 stars because a number of items were broken and some of the furniture shown in the pictures had been removed. Prior reviews called out the challenges with rodents and ants in the kitchen. Ty coached us to put away all dry goods each night and that handled the issue. I understand there was a recent change of ownership and looks like the property may have gone without adequate maintenance for a period of time. Loose bathroom faucets, shower handle that came off in your hand, hot tub didn’t work. Ty explained all this in the arrival walkthrough and I believe he did his best to fix what he could. The piano shown in the pictures had been removed which was particularly painful since my grandkids had practiced some songs to play for us. I understand the new owners are doing a significant amount of repairs after we left. If so this outstanding property will be everything we had hoped for and we would consider returning again.

Spectacular property
The grounds and house are amazing, and Sean the property manager is very responsive and accommodating. The house is really well-stocked with everything you might need. It's an older house with some wear and tear, but that really does not detract from the overall experience. Make sure to wear the provided water shoes if you go in the ocean though - the sea urchins are very stabby.

Beautiful!
Perfect location for a family vacation! The house was big enough for everyone to have their own personal space and several areas inside and outside to gather for meals and get togethers! The pool provided hours of fun for all ages and the shoreline allowed for snorkeling, fishing and beautiful sunsets and sun rises!

Absolutely Gorgeous Property
Bali is my favorite place in the world and this home brought me right back! It’s so beautiful. The views of the sunsets are so special, we would watch them every night and paddle board during the day. There is a farmers market right across the street that was great for coffee and fresh fruit. The location is 10/10. The bay has manta rays that you can book a tour to see. Truly, the photos don’t do it justice. There are lots of little sandy hang outs and lookouts by the bay. As soon as you arrive, the plants and trees make it look and smell like its own tropical oasis. I spent lots of time walking around and looking at and enjoying them. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need and more. Two of the master suites and the 3rd upstairs room have AC, the rest have more of an open air feel with fans, which we didn’t mind, the weather in Kona made it perfect and you need to be okay with that when booking a Balinese style house, it’s special in that way. The main master suite is huge, with two massive walk in bathrooms for his and hers, and it is adjacent to the kitchen, so we woke up early and went about our day and napped in the AC when we needed a break (which was our daily routine in on the beach in the Big Island anyway). We got married here and It’s was the most beautiful, special moment here. It was dreamy and surreal. I wouldn’t want to celebrate anywhere else. Our group cannot wait to come back. What a lovely retreat.

Paradise
Our family of 14 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home in Paradise. We were able to snorkel. It is a rocky entrance to the water which we knew in advance. There are many places in the home to gather as a group or retreat as a couple or individual. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub and all the water equipment that was very convenient. We did have to adjust to the tiny ants that are just part of Hawaii and learned to Ziploc bag all of our food, whether it be in the pantry or fridge. The property manager was very attentive when the coffee maker and hot tub weren’t working and promptly took care of the situation.

Grand Intimacy
Property beautifully located, lush, great views, breezes and sunsets. Grounds could use a little sprucing up. Wonderful open and spacious home, well appointed. Perfect for a large gathering of people each needing luxury, space and privacy. Public spaces are grand. Handsome architecture with wood details. Great playground for young ones and old. Your own private resort. Shortfalls: could use another dishwasher to match double large refrigerators. Lighting needs labels. Pool cleaning while in residence. Biggest issue and a serious one, presence of vermin raiding kitchen and pantry at night. Ate through packaged goods, potatoes whether in high shelves, in cabinets , drawers and shelves. Needs more rodent mitigation. Management responsive to requests and needs in general. With a little more attention to some upgrades in bathrooms and landscape trimming one would hardly find fault. There's a wonderful Hawaiian vintage feel modernized with indoor-outdoor living in most all rooms. Breezes and ocean sounds create tranquility day and night. Our special gathering was made evermore so by the grand "intimacy" the home provides.

Wonderful House with a Serious Need for an Exterminator
The house was beautiful and the location was ideal for us. The kitchen was large and very functional. Unfortunately there was a serious rodent and insect problem. There were rat droppings in the pantry and we had to dispose of food stored in the kitchen that was eaten by rats. Eventually we stored the food in the oven and dishwasher. In addition, we killed more than a dozen cockroaches (big ones). Last of all, there were very small ants all over the kitchen, dining and great rooms. Unfortunately over Christmas all the hotels were fully occupied so we had to suck it up, stay at the place and fight the little critters. Last of all, on the last day we had to chase a mongoose out of the kitchen. Other than that the place was a dream.

Private Resort in Paradise
We feel fortunate to have enjoyed this beautiful Hawaiian home for a family gathering during Thanksgiving. Sean was a welcoming and mellow host who was prompt in answering questions. This gorgeous property allowed us to be all together in one space or find a secluded spot for quieter moments. The ability to access the ocean directly and the availability of paddle boards and kayaks was a great bonus.

Potential 5 Star Property
Communication ahead of the trip was very good-Sydette answered all my questions and was helpful. Check in was smooth; met by manager, given a tour, assured a recent broken screen would be repaired ASAP (it was fixed early the next day) Overall aspects of this house are A+ Potential of this property is amazing! We loved this property and wanted to give a 5 star review, but had frustration with many small (and a couple larger) issues resulting in our 4 Star review. Attention to detail is lacking-some examples: -extremely dirty BBQ grills -pool needed maintenance: lighting, skimmer, jets, etc -lighting throughout property missing or broken, inside and out - 2 food processors: neither with working parts - toilet in "her" master wouldn't flush upon arrival Layout of the home is spacious and large group friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and bedding was excellent. Kitchen was well stocked, clean with lots of extras in the pantry, i.e., plastic wrap, serving pieces, misc "party supplies," spices and food basics. Walk in fridge was superb, especially for our group needs. Above issues aside, this property was fantastic, accommodated our family and met the needs of our group and I would stay again provided necessary maintenance issues are addressed.

Epitome of a Hawaiian Retreat
We are a global company and I am continually looking for VRBO homes to rent that will accommodate our needs for long hour meetings while offering a comfortable relaxing environment. This house not only met all of our needs but exceeded them. The home not only offered many outdoor activities but was also located close to the Golf Club, water tours and restaurant within waling distance at the neighboring resort. The hardest part for us was packing up and saying goodbye to the home and view. Excellent communication with the property manager. Highly recommend this home!

The Best of the Best
This house photographs well; the photos do not do it justice, it is much larger, more well appointed and beautiful than the photos can show. The pool area and all of the ocean side landscaping is stunning. The owner provides padel boards, kayaks, snorkels, floats, etc., etc. This is a family run operation, John the owner, his partner, and his son Sean are 100% responsive and charming. I cannot this house more highly.

Amazing oceanfront property!
A wonderful home for a family vacation. The property is stunning, serene, and truly a little slice of paradise. There is an attention to detail with the craftsmanship of the home and various activities offered for guests. In addition to seeing sights on the island, we found ourselves spending a lot of time enjoying the house. Older guests might find it a bit tricky to get into the ocean at this spot (there is a ladder that’s very helpful), but if you’re able it is well worth it – the snorkeling was fantastic! The home easily accommodated our group of 13 with ample space to stretch out. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Dream Home Stay on the Bay
Spectacular home and the views from this home are unprecedented! Our family was celebrating the 90th Birthday of our Father (Grandpa & Great-Grandpa) and it is the perfect place for a family of ages 3-90 to stay for a wonderful week of celebration! We had absolutely everything we needed and then some! The oasis pool, waterfall and spa were enjoyed by all of us! The paddle boards available we used almost daily! This estate is also close to the Night Snorkel w/Mantas and several of us went and were just awestruck by the Mantas (really, a once-in-a-lifetime event). Any time we had a question, we were promptly attended to by the awesome Host(s)! All of us hope we can return to the area again soon and this would be the only place we would want to stay! Thanks SO much Thomas, Sean & Sydette💗

Magical escape experience
This was one of the most wonderful beautiful vacation experiences I've had. The property is absolutely amazing. The house itself is beautiful and spacious and the beds incredibly comfortable (sleeping with the walls open but screens down meant a symphony of soothing nature sounds and soft breeze all night and morning but no bugs), the kitchen had everything we could want (and grocery store 5 minute drive away), the yard was gorgeous with hammocks and 2 cardinals were nesting in one of the trees with 3 eggs getting ready to hatch! Adorable little geckos everywhere and the biggest most ornate snails I've ever seen in person. The yard also had good spots to sit by the water for the sunset, and spots to step in for snorkeling and kayaking. Even more amazing snorkeling just up the coast about 10 minutes at the public beach as well! I cannot express emphatically enough how incredible the pool and hot tub were on the property. Stepping into this tropical paradise with a waterfall morning, afternoon, and night was a dream come true. And the cherry on top was the most AMAZING smelling fragrant tree growing in the entryway courtyard. I'm trying to figure out how to grow one of my own at home now. And last but not least, if you are there on a Saturday, walk across the street to the farmer's market/craft fair! Long story short, the cost is high but if you want to treat yourself and have a magical experience, this is it.
