Oceanfront Promontory w/ Stunning Views & Luxury Accommodations. Walk to Beach!

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable Hawaiian getaway at Kahoa House, where a plethora of spectacular views await you. Whether you are an early riser or a traveler adjusting to the time zone, savor a cup of Ka’u coffee in the inviting living room and enjoy the breathtaking sunrise over the Pacific from the expansive east-facing window. This remarkable promontory extends into the ocean and offers unique vantage points—glance left to witness surfers and paddle boarders at Honoli'i Cove, while on the right, you'll be greeted by stunning vistas of Hilo Harbor where cruise ships dock, along with the majestic Leleiwi Point to the east. During winter months, keep your eyes peeled for whale sightings in Hilo Bay.

Your stay at Kahoa House is designed for comfort and efficiency, featuring a well-thought-out 3BR/3BA layout that accommodates families perfectly. Two master suites boast king-size beds, ocean views, double vanities, and walk-in showers (one equipped with steam!). The third bedroom also has a king bed (which can be separated into two twin beds upon request), complete with a built-in granite desk and an en suite bathroom featuring a tub/shower combination. The bathrooms and kitchen showcase luxurious stone and granite finishes, while elegant wood floors flow throughout the property. Enjoy panoramic ocean views from the main living area, where the nautical-inspired design combined with Southeast Asian decor creates an inviting atmosphere.

The kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures with high-quality All Clad stainless steel pots, sharp Henckel knives, and a variety of kitchen gadgets. A spacious deep sink with dual faucets and a dishwasher facilitates hassle-free cleanup. Although the interior is cozy and offers delightful ocean views from most areas, you may find yourself spending more time outdoors. Stroll barefoot on the lush green grass beneath towering coconut palms. Dine al fresco on the expansive main lanai, taking in the vibrant colors of the sunset as it sinks behind the landscape. Unwind on comfortable cushioned rattan furniture, perfect for leisurely conversations with friends or enjoying another glass of wine under the stars. With two decks available, the pleasant Trade Winds ensure that outdoor enjoyment continues well into the evening. As night falls, adjust the indoor lighting to create the perfect ambiance before settling into a comfortable bed, lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the waves.

This well-appointed rental home is tailored to meet all your needs. With a global traveler's perspective, we understand what makes a vacation home truly exceptional. You'll find the kitchen stocked with quality cookware, including non-stick pans and ample prep tools. For fitness enthusiasts, practice yoga on the lanai while keeping an eye out for whales with our three yoga mats, sit-up pad, and resistance bands. Beach gear includes six chairs, coolers in various sizes, and three bodyboards. Two pairs of binoculars allow you to observe the marine life up close. On rainy days, enjoy classic board games, playing cards, and children's storybooks, along with large golf umbrellas to keep you dry. Stay connected with high-speed cable internet and enjoy basic cable television, along with streaming options through a BDVD/CD player connected to Netflix and Amazon Prime. Your music experience is enriched by a Dolby 7.2 home theater setup with Bluetooth capability, all while lounging on a new microfiber sofa and loveseat arranged for optimal views of Honolii Cove and Hilo Bay.
