South Kona Ocean View Luxury 4+ Br Pool, Sleeps 10

Welcome to Puhala Hale, a stunning coastal hillside retreat that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the South Kona Coast. This luxurious vacation home features a private pool, a recreation room complete with a billiard table and tiki bar, making it an ideal getaway for you and your family or friends. Adorned throughout with exquisite Hawaiian artwork, the open-concept design and expansive covered lanais create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation, celebrations, and rejuvenation.

Puhala Hale is a unique residence with 4+ bedrooms and 2.5 baths, capable of accommodating up to 10 guests comfortably. Nestled on a spacious one-acre lot, this sanctuary ensures privacy while providing various relaxing spaces where you can enjoy the tranquility of the "Old Hawaiian" lifestyle, far removed from the busy tourist areas. While conveniently situated near popular Big Island attractions and pristine beaches, you’ll find that your visits to nearby natural wonders will have you returning time and again.

The layout of the home encompasses over 2,800 square feet, offering ample room for everyone. You can choose to spread out or gather in the great room, which boasts glass doors leading to the generous covered lanai that overlooks the ocean. The main living area features an inviting open floorplan ideal for entertaining, with seating options that include a sectional couch, love seat, and a Satellite TV/DVD player.

Your culinary adventures await in the gourmet kitchen, which is seamlessly connected to the living areas. Enjoy ocean views as you prepare meals on Italian granite countertops using high-end appliances, including a gas range and wine refrigerator. The dining area accommodates six, while the breakfast bar seats three more. Outdoor dining becomes an experience of its own with two additional lanai tables, each seating four to six guests.

The spacious master suite is designed for comfort, featuring a king bed, ocean views, a private bath with double sinks, and a walk-in closet. Sliding glass doors grant direct access to the lanai, where you can enjoy serene moments. The second bedroom includes a queen bed and opens onto a private lanai with ocean views, including a table for four and a hammock for ultimate relaxation. Additionally, the third bedroom also features sliding glass doors and a large closet space suitable for a crib setup. The fourth bedroom is positioned close to the master, making it perfect for young ones needing proximity to their parents. For families traveling with infants or toddlers, we provide two Pack 'n Play cribs and a highchair.

Away from the main sleeping and living areas, the recreation room presents endless fun with a billiard table, tiki bar, and comfortable seating with a Satellite TV/DVD player, along with a queen bed that’s ideal for kids or teens. Board games are also provided for your entertainment.

The plunge pool, surrounded by palm trees, offers fantastic ocean views and creates an inviting oasis where you can bask in the sun or unwind under the stars in the evenings. The main tiled lanai overlooking the pool features ample seating for relaxation and a dining table perfect for enjoyable games while keeping an eye on those splashing around in the pool. Beach towels and floaties are readily available for your convenience.

The climate at Puhala Hale is consistently pleasant year-round, sitting at an elevation of 600 feet above sea level. With average temperatures in the mid-80s during the day and cooling down to the mid-60s in the evenings, you can relax in comfort. A whole house fan provides extra cooling for added ease during warm nights, while ceiling fans in each bedroom ensure refreshing airflow.

This remarkable home is located approximately 33 miles south of Kailua-Kona and just 63 miles from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The scenic drive through coffee country is incredibly rewarding, leading you to this peaceful hideaway while remaining within a quick ten-minute jaunt to grocery stores and other amenities. Situated in the charming Milolii coastal area, you can fully embrace the laid-back Hawaiian lifestyle while still being close enough to explore golf courses, shopping, and fine dining.

The Milolii region is famous for its pristine waters and outstanding deep-sea fishing opportunities. If you're an avid diver, feel free to bring your scuba gear along. Experience the beauty of the local cliffs, blow holes, tide pools, caves, and lava tubes as you hike through historical sites and ancient structures that tell the story of Hawaii's rich heritage.

Only a short distance from the shore lies a treasure trove of water activities, including world-class snorkeling and scuba diving spots. From December to March, keep an eye out for majestic humpback whales— their songs may delight you even at night. Just minutes away, Milolii Beach Park is an excellent choice for families with young children. The nearby trailhead leads you to the picturesque Honomalino black sand beach, where swimming among sea turtles and spinner dolphins is a delightful possibility.

Puhala Hale typically has 2-3 snorkel sets, boogie boards, and pool floaties available; however, for any additional supplies, Walmart or Costco are just a short drive away.

Please note: Unlike many areas around Kona, you won't have to deal with the noisy coqui frogs in this beautiful home! Feel free to inquire about this when considering other accommodations.

Upon booking, you'll receive a welcome email packed with house information and exciting recommendations for restaurants, farmers markets, and activities to explore during your stay. Additionally, a welcome binder inside the home holds valuable details about sightseeing, activities, and house policies.

Summary: I've stayed in several VRBOs but this one by far has been the best. The house came fully stocked with essentials needed to make our stay wonderful. Super clean!Our host Nancy was awesome! She responded very quickly to all requests I sent to her. She allowed us a little extra time for arrival and departure requests. Wonderful hostess!Our views were phenomenal! We were lucky enough to have a full moon and able to capture it. Just awesome! The house was well furnished and the deck was great! We had no problem of being too hot with the exception of day 1. But we just opened the windows and turned on the many fans available. Nancy's binder contained everything needed to know about the home, the island, and restaurants. Very thorough. The black sand beach close by was awesome. It did take a bit of a hike but it was well worth it. Remote but beautiful to say the least. Snorkeling equipment was available as well coolers.The most used place in the home was the game room. Our grandson was shooting pool most of the time we were in the home. It was a amenity that was enjoyed by all.There was plenty of space for us to relax and wind down (couches inside and out), have enough seating for the nine of us to eat comfortably at tables, and enough beds for all of us. Two of the grandkids did have to double up but that wasn't a problem. The road there was very winding but after a few days we acclimated to them. After that - no problem.Overall, I highly recommend!
