🏖️Sophisticated Oceanfront Retreat | Air-Conditioned | Walk to Beach | vrKCV🏖️

Welcome to the luxurious Kona Hideaway, an exquisite oceanfront villa situated within the prestigious gated community of Kona Onenalo, a stunning 2+ acre property featuring only 12 stand-alone villas adjacent to the beautiful La'aloa (Very Sacred) Bay. This tranquil retreat was acquired in 2021 by California couple attorney Robert Millar and Italian actor-designer Mario Guariso, who completed extensive renovations and interior design enhancements in January 2022, creating a sophisticated escape from their busy lives on the mainland.

As you enter through the gates, you will be greeted by immaculate tropical landscaping surrounding this stylish 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom midcentury-modern home inspired by Polynesian architecture. Expansive lanai doors on both levels seamlessly connect the living spaces to the lush garden and ocean beyond, where the soothing sounds of rolling waves and tropical birds will provide a serene backdrop for your stay.

The open floor plan boasts soaring two-story ceilings, allowing natural light to flood the space through floor-to-ceiling sliders and windows, perfect for year-round indoor/outdoor living. With approximately 2000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this villa includes two spacious lanais, a gourmet kitchen equipped with high-quality appliances, reserved parking for two vehicles, an outdoor shower, and a full-size laundry area. The villa’s prime location just inside the gates of Kona Onenalo makes it easy to transport luggage and groceries, adding convenience to your Hawaiian getaway.

For culinary enthusiasts, the kitchen comes fully equipped with top-tier appliances, fixtures, and a water filtration system—ideal for preparing meals and entertaining guests. Enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, telephone service, cable, and smart TVs for added comfort. The Kona Hideaway is designed to benefit from the refreshing ocean breeze for natural cross-ventilation, while ceiling fans and whisper-quiet air conditioning throughout ensure maximum comfort in all rooms.

The primary suite offers breathtaking views of the ocean, lawn, and garden, complete with a private lanai, a luxurious Cal-king bed, flat-screen TV, ample closet space, dual vanities, and two showers. The guest suite features a king bed that can be converted into twins, along with a desk and en-suite bathroom. The third guest bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor near the main living area and includes a queen bed, reading chair, desk, and limited ocean views.

A standout feature of the Kona Hideaway is its two lanais that overlook White Sands Beach (also known as Magic Sands Beach), a beloved local spot for swimming, body surfing, and beach volleyball. You can indulge in breakfast, coffee, lunch, and snacks at the nearby Beach Shack, or savor seasonal brunch and dinner menus made with local ingredients at the Magic Beach Grill, just a quick 5-minute stroll away.

This villa is perfectly positioned above a popular snorkeling and shore diving destination, known as “Mile Marker 4” at La'aloa Bay. Simply step through the gate at the end of the lawn into the lava-rock shoreline to discover vibrant marine life, including schools of yellow tang, puffer fish, sea turtles, and fascinating lava tunnels waiting to be explored. Additionally, you’ll find Kahalu'u Beach Park less than a mile away, famous for its tide pools and surf lessons offered by local instructors.

The charming village of Kailua-Kona is just 3 miles north of the Kona Hideaway, while the Keauhou Shopping Center and Kona Country Club are located under 2 miles to the south. Convenient transportation options include the Kona Trolley picking up just across the street, as well as bicycle rentals available at the nearby White Sands Beach Bike Share Station.

After a day of beach fun, refresh yourself with a hot outdoor shower by the lanai, or take a leisurely stroll to the large pool and hot tub to watch for whales during the season. Experience the spectacular Kona sunsets as you unwind and embrace the true Aloha Spirit, where the harmonious blend of sea and sky creates an enchanting atmosphere.

Note: Minimum stay policies vary by season. Please be aware that this is a non-smoking property and pets are not permitted.

Summary: The house is very comfortable with a great view of the ocean from the back deck and much of the house. Plus, just on the other side of the fence is an amazing cove to snorkel in. A few minutes walk away is a sandy beach. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
