Experience Paradise at Kepharts' Ocean-view Hale: A Home Away from Home

Welcome to Kepharts' Ocean-view Hale: A Home Away from Home, an exquisite five-bedroom, three-bath retreat located on a sprawling five acres in the heart of Kamuela. Designed as the ultimate family vacation haven, this remarkable house offers an expansive 2400 square feet of living space adorned with high ceilings and 760 square feet of windows that fill the interior with natural light and fresh breezes.

The airy atmosphere is enhanced by the gentle tradewinds and numerous ceiling fans, ensuring your comfort throughout your stay. Both the kitchen and master bedroom boast striking 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, complemented by breathtaking vistas of the Kohala Mountains, Maunakea, Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and the stunning Kona-Kohala Coast.

From the spacious lanai, you can observe a delightful array of vessels passing by, including fishing boats, tour boats, and the occasional tugboat navigating nearby Kawaihae Harbor. With a bit of luck, you might even catch glimpses of playful Hawaiian spinner dolphins or majestic humpback whales. While we cannot guarantee perfect weather, our location benefits from being in the rain shadow of the Kohala Mountains, resulting in typically low annual rainfall.

At Kepharts' Ocean-view Hale, guests will find a thoughtfully curated 'home away from home' experience. The ambiance is inviting and cozy, striking a balance between elegance and relaxation. Enjoy our well-stocked library filled with books and movies for all ages, along with an impressive collection of kitchenware, linens, and all the essentials needed for a delightful stay.

Our prime location not only provides stunning ocean and mountain views but also situates you within a serene semi-rural neighborhood devoid of streetlights, allowing for mesmerizing starry nights.

You’ll appreciate the proximity to the Big Island's premier beaches and golf courses while having easy access to both Kailua-Kona and Hilo. Nearby dining and shopping options are just a short drive away, ensuring a convenient yet tranquil retreat.

With its comfortable, clean, and well-maintained environment, guests often express feeling at home upon entering. The layout features a large central great room, with bedrooms and bathrooms providing ample privacy when needed. The wrap-around lanai, extending over 840 square feet towards the ocean, is ideal for enjoying communal meals or quiet reading time in one of the five table-and-chair sets or lounge chairs.
