The atmosphere of Hale Kai Kona is classic "Old Hawaii" and once you enter the property, it's as if you're a million miles from anywhere and you've gone 50 years back in time - but with all the conveniences of the modern day lifestyle. The unbeatable privacy and natural beauty is only enhanced by the constant sounds of the breaking waves on your very own private oceanfront!

Hale Kai Kona ("Ocean House") is an historic estate located on 3 pristine landscaped acres with over 500' of oceanfront, a tennis court, a swimming pool and one of the only private docks on the Big Island. The compound was designed by world-renowned architect, Vladimir Ossipoff - the "Frank Lloyd Wright of Hawaii" - and consists of 7 bedrooms and 6 baths spread out over 4 houses and cottages, with the entire property being enclosed behind a gated 5' high lava rock wall for exclusive privacy and security.

Hale Kai Kona is landscaped with beautiful tropical gardens and palm trees, including the arched tree under which actor John Wayne was married in the early 1960s. Because of its unique location, the property offers a sweeping 270 degrees of oceanfront viewing over the sparkling deep blue Pacific Ocean and the beautiful sapphire/turquoise waters of Keauhou Bay.

Historic Hale Kai Kona is the perfect Hawaiian vacation spot for romantic getaways or family vacations. It will truly be your own private resort. Without leaving the premises, you can enjoy tennis (private court on the property), kayaking( a 2-person kayak is included), snorkeling (gear is included), swimming, diving, shore fishing, sunbathing, hammock laying, sunset watching and more.

Within 1 mile of the property (either driving or walking) you'll find world class golf courses, genuine Hawaiian luaus, a dive shop, fantastic restaurants, snorkel/dive excursion boats, big game fishing boats, kayak and canoe rentals, movie theatres, a drug store, a supermarket, health/facial spas and luxury shopping.

Words and pictures cannot come close to describing this unique and magnificent property. After you have seen and experienced Hale Kai Kona, there will be little wonder why Hawaiian royalty, including King Kamehameha I himself, once resided here.
