This distinctive property features optional A/C in all sleeping quarters, open living spaces AND gourmet kitchen! Hale Pua (“House of Flowers”) is one of the few five bedroom/six full bath luxury oceanfront home for vacation rental on the Kona Coast. This distinctive property was highlighted and pictured in a May 26, 2013 Wall Street Journal Hawaii-focus article. Hale Pau is an oceanfront oasis wi
th high-end comforts and details throughout. While this privately-owned home works wonderfully for large gatherings, it is just as warm & welcoming for four couples or a smaller family group. The home boasts full baths for every bedroom, and a sprawling oceanfront great room with easy access to the kitchen and wetbar. Every sleeping quarter offers optional A/C. Multiple wall-to-wall glass sliding doors on the oceanside allow steady trade winds to gently flow while enjoying the stunning water and sunset views. You can SEE or HEAR the ocean from nearly every room! The spacious lanai with waterfall pool and spa extends the full length of the house along the oceanfront. A lush stretch of yard is the only separation between the rolling surf against the lava rock wall and the home’s lanai. Just a 50 foot walk from the lanai along a wide rock wall is a small sandy beach with comfortable entry to abundant tide pools and out to the ocean for snorkeling, surfing or kayaking. Your ocean view is unobstructed and stunning; no walking path between you and the sea which is the case in many local beachfront neighborhoods. After a full day of sun & fun, kids (or adults!) can chill out watching their favorite movie or enjoying a video game in the media room featuring leather media recliners, 70” Smart Samsung flat screen TV, Roku, surround sound & Blu-ray player. Cards and board games are available in the equally large game room adjacent to the media room. The executive open-design dream kitchen features ocean view granite counter and dining room seating for 16. This chef-worthy kitchen is equipped with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 1 wine cooler, Subzero & Kitchen Aid appliances along with flatware & dishes to serve over 20 people. Hale Pua is a special home that has been recently renovated with custom paint, window treatments, wall art and designer Restoration Hardware furniture. Each bedroom bears a fitting title in a brass doorplate, such as “Surf’s Up”, “Kona Coffee”, “Pua Suite” and so on. The Hawaiian bedroom décor showcases new duvets, pillows and tropical touches that will make you smile. All bedrooms have flat screen TVs with cable. Each bedroom suite is described in detail below, but for starters, the gorgeous 2nd floor Master Suite, with panoramic ocean views, provides optimum whale and dolphin watching opportunities from the balcony. One guest suite is “Ohana” designed, also ocean view offering upstairs sleeping and separate downstairs living with wall-to-wall sliders opening onto the lanai. The attractively updated, neutrally tiled baths are all full-size, three with double-sink vanities. Four of the six baths have very large tiled walk-in showers; the other two have deep shower tubs, one of those featuring a Jacuzzi. Vaulted beamed ceilings abound throughout the home, with finish work done in native Koa wood. The large laundry is centrally located in the home, accessible from two entries, featuring two new Whirlpool Duet full-size washers & two dryers. Hale Pua is perfectly located; close enough for adults and kids to walk to Old Kona Town and the pier. Set back 130 foot from prestigious Alii Drive, behind a private remote-controlled gate, the setting is peaceful and private. The home has highspeed wireless internet access. Part of Hale Pua's charm is its traditional Hawaiian coastal open air design. The home has louvered and screened windows throughout and features large wall-to-wall sliding doors on the ocean side of the house - the prevailing trade winds from the west over the ocean and east over the mountains keeps the central part of the home comfortable. Ceiling fans in all rooms, along with sleek oscillating tower floor & table fans allow you to enjoy the aura of Hawaiian coastal living. Optional split unit A/Cs are available in all sleeping quarters. This home tenders the services of a well-known and respected local property manager (formerly Boundless Hawaii, now Elite Pacific Properties) to handle your queries and needs before and during your stay. Hale Pua is perfect for , or small groups that don't want that "cramped" feeling. Excellent for two or three families, or four couples, who want to be together, but still retain some privacy. It's big, it's luxurious & it's fun. Please come enjoy our very unique, well appointed and relaxing tropical retreat for a vacation we’re sure you, your family and friends will remember.
