Kona Blue: Secluded Beachfront Home w/ Private Pool, AC & Ocean Views

Ocean views and posh yet comfy furnishings will whisk you away to vacation paradise the moment you enter Kona Blue by Gather. The first level features a spacious entryway and foyer that leads to the dining room. With seating for eight, it's the perfect space for a festive dinner party. Relax in style in the open-concept living room where you'll find soothing neutral decor and spectacular views of the pool and the sparkling blue ocean just beyond.

To the right of the living room, you'll find the spacious newly renovated kitchen, which is furnished with an eat-in area and all of the cooking essentials you could imagine. With ocean views, tons of space, and lots of seating, you'll be inspired to whip up a great breakfast, blend a tropical smoothie or savor a cup of Kona coffee for you and your guests.

A large laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer is near the kitchen, as well as the cozy fifth bedroom, where you'll find a plush queen bed, air conditioning, lanai access, and ocean views.

Upstairs at Kona Blue, you'll find all the comforts of home—and then some. Choose from four well-appointed bedrooms, including the "red room" which has a king-size bed, air conditioning, a quaint loveseat, and a private balcony, a room with two twin beds, air conditioning, and serene mountain views, and a beautifully decorated room with air conditioning and a kitchenette. A spacious dual-entry bathroom connects the two guest rooms while providing plenty of privacy.

The deluxe primary suite features air conditioning, a king-size bed, a queen sleeper sofa, a twin daybed, a walk-in closet stocked with lots of baby gear, and an en suite bathroom. The private lanai is a wonderful place to sip your morning coffee while taking in gorgeous views of the Pacific.

Gather your guests and watch a movie in the media room, which is also equipped with extra sleeping space for little ones in need of a nap.

Outdoors at Kona Blue, beauty and relaxation await you. Take a refreshing swim in the oceanfront pool, sip Mai Tais while relaxing on a chaise lounge, or lie down on the soft green grass and soak up the sun. Kona Blue has a plethora of furnished lanai spaces. With balmy tropical breezes and ocean views, it's perfect for hosting a large dinner party, or a romantic al fresco evening for two.

A short five-minute walk and you're at Keiki Ponds Beach, where adults and kids will love exploring the warm tide pools while catching glimpses of minnows, shrimp, and sea shells.

Kona Blue is only a mile from the Kailua-Kona Pier and downtown, which is known for being a shopper's paradise. You'll also love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha, I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is an iconic landmark and reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.

Watch the cruise ships from the Kailua-Kona Pier, where you'll have access to Hawaii's best scuba diving, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Buy fresh tropical fruit at the farmers market, and enjoy shaved ice or a cup of Kona coffee. Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, or hang out at the beach. There's plenty to do in and around Kailua-Kona. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October) and a great place to watch the sunset.

Kona Blue is a beautiful vacation home located on Hawaii's majestic Kona Coast. Here you will find the perfect mix of beauty, tranquility outdoor adventure. We hope that you will make it your choice for your next Hawaiian vacation!

Stunning views of ocean and pool, sunsets and volcanic rock. Large house that worked well for our 10 person family for a reunion. Some maintenance issues with screen doors that don’t work well and property is showing some wear and tear; overall fine. You are paying for an amazing view with tide pools and a small beach for snorkeling nearby.

Location, location, location!
Kona Blue was the perfect location for our party of 8, gathering from across the country to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. We had specific needs for a home given the size of our group & Mom’s mobility needs & Kona Blue fit the bill. There were plenty of spaces for us to spread out & not be on top of each other & the downstairs suite was perfect for Mom. When she became ill, she was able to isolate but still enjoy the ocean view as well as easy access to the lanai & talk with us through the screens. Communication with the rental company was wonderful & they were very responsive to my questions & requests before & during our stay. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars for the listing is because I felt the description was a little confusing in terms of how many rooms & the layout - there are 3 rooms over the garage with a bathroom & living room, the downstairs suite, a half bath downstairs & an amazingly large master suite upstairs. Definitely recommend Kona Blue, especially if you have a large group.

Great house and secure location
We had a group of 11 (6 adults, 5 children) at Kona Blue for 6 days/nights. It was a summer family vacation for 3 generations. Bedrooms were very adequate, glad they had AC. The pool was a big hit with the kids and the size of the very well equipped kitchen was a hit with the adults. We really appreciated the labels in locating kitchen items, the surplus of beach towels, the ceiling fans, the size of the dining tables, and all the supplies that lasted us all 6 days (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, shampoo, bar soap, hand soap, towels, spices, plastic wrap left behind, etc.) Lack of AC in the public areas was evident in the summer temps. and high humidity. We recommend some drying racks for wet suits and towels and more towel bars/rings in the bathrooms. Also, maintenance should come through more often to check for minor repairs...sticky door/screens, toilets running longer than they should, etc. We had a wonderful time at Kona Blue!

The location was perfect! To be on the lanai and see the ocean every day was a dream! The pool was loved by the grand children! Proximity to everything a family of 12 wanted to do was great. The house was well equipped with all we needed and more. The only disappointment was the sliding screen doors were so stiff they were hard to manage, and with 12 we used them all day. We thought the lower bedroom air conditioner smelled musty.

Kona Blue Family Vacation
The house is situated in a beautiful, quiet, gated community within the busy town of Kona. The house over looks the ocean where you can view whales and dolphins during the day and see beautiful sunsets in the evening. The property was clean and overall, well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. For families traveling with children, the house was equipped with bedding, toys, beach equipment. Some minor repairs are needed due to normal wear and tear. The bedroom situation could be enhanced if there was a pull out couch in the upstairs family room. The additional day bed and pull out couch in master bedroom did provide additional sleeping areas but also took away from privacy if desired. The shared bathroom upstairs was somewhat small for the 3 bedrooms which it supported so the master bathroom in the upstairs master bedroom (which was absolutely beautiful and very large) was often used for overflow . I would definitely recommend this house for those wishing to stay within the Kona area.

We just returned and everyone had a great time. We were three families and everyone had their own space. The kids enjoyed exploring in the backyard on the lava rocks. There was also a small sandy beach close by that the 7 and 10 year old enjoyed. The sunsets were fantastic. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio with our coffee in the mornings and soaking in the view. It was a great place for the whole family to reconnect.

Gorgeous yet comfortable
Three families joined together in the beautiful and spacious house. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the house is perfectly located for quick runs into Kailu-Kona, as well as longer drives across the island to sites near Hilo. The children and adults in the group loved the pool and the easy proximity to the tidepools that are formed in the lava rock behind the poperty as well as the larger Keiki Ponds that are walking distance to the house. There is also a small sand beach walking distance to the property. The property management team was communicative and friendly as well. We would all rent this house again.

Beautiful property, amazing views but the online pictures were a little deceiving regarding the "age" of the property. Some of the beds were uncomfortable, paint was peeling off throughout out the home. Ants were everywhere, evident by the amount of ant traps located in the house, including on the couch. We knew we would encounter ants but did not realize to what extent.

Great multi-generational spot, amazing views!
This was a fantastic place for three generations to gather, enjoy the pool, watch the sunsets, cook meals in the HUGE kitchen, spend time reading, and as a launching point for the island. Home is STOCKED with everything a family could want - tons of beach towels, a full cabinet of beach toys and umbrellas and chairs, and kitchen is well stocked. Home is tidy but not too modern (tiled countertops vs granite, for example) which was perfect for us. And the VIEWS!! It was amazing to cook dinner most nights with the extended family and watch the sunset and hear the crashing waves. A short walk away is a really nice extra-large tidepool (we saw fish and a turtle) for swimming with sand "the keiki pools". No walking to boogie boarding or surfing. Property management - Elite Pacific - was EXCELLENT and I would definitely book with them again. Example - garbage bins were full and they addressed it right away, inc other small maintenance items. Room configuration - one extra large master suite complete with living room and huge bath, another en suite master with ocean views on first floor, and three bedrooms at the back. This worked well for the 3 generations but may not be as great for three-four couples traveling together who all want the views. We loved the Kona Blue - great house in great locations with views to die for, a nice pool, well stocked with everything needed for an island vacation, and excellent property management.

What an experience
Having been to the big island multiple times we were excited to stay in a home like this. It easily accommodated 10 people. The kids could walk each day to keiki ponds and swim with ease if the gorgeous pool wasn’t enough. The home was stocked with games and all the necessary items needed for a trip like this. Boogie boards and goggles and snorkels and beach chairs galore. Would love to come back to this place. Quick 3 min drive right into town for great dinners and hangs. We even found a beautiful Little Cliff jump into the ocean right in front. We are all ocean friendly and swimmers so if you aren’t this way maybe don’t do it! Especially if the tide is working. Sunsets out front were as good as any I have seen…still waiting for that perfect green flash though. 10/10 experience and easily defeats staying at a big resort! Thanks for everything. Shoots.

Average overall and secure
Overall an okay experience with the house. Nagging items related to such things as running out of gas for the grill despite our not using much; property management could certainly use improvement in speed of communication; lots of foot traffic across the back yard…it’s a public beach and cannot access ocean fr there so don’t assume from photos. Could use another full bath to support but we made it work. There definitely was no access to boards or sporting equipment so not sure why that is in the ad. Maid service was requested during the stay and was told to call when we arrived, then when we did it was days before we could get it arranged and again, property management issue they should resolve. If looking to accommodate a large group the house does that and pool and back are are very comfortable with a great view. Security was very good and great job providing all you will need in the kitchen with great care in labeling cabinets. Convenient to town.
