Nestled on an acre of private and quiet lush tropical grounds with heated pool and hot tub, Heart of Hualalai is your dream home, away from home, in Kona coffee country. Heart of Hualalai is a peaceful space where natural beauty and serenity meet mindful architectural design, environmental consciousness and high technology. A home that you can work remotely from, for weeks on end, with complimentary 500Mbps internet service and mesh Wi-Fi throughout. Heart of Hualalai includes four private bedrooms and comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests on luxurious memory foam mattresses, linens and bedding.

Expansive ocean, coastline and garden views, from Keauhou Bay in the south to the Kona airport in the north are ever present. There is nothing quite as soul soothing as gazing westward to the ocean while sipping a cup of hot Kona coffee in the morning or enjoying the epic sunsets with a frosty beverage, from the lanai bar, in the evening. Heart of Hualalai is sited strategically across its park-like grounds - hidden from the street and behind private gates. The three interconnected structures: main house (kitchen/DR/LR/3BR/2BA), master cottage suite (LR/1BR/1BA) and caretaker’s studio, together with multiple lanais and breezeway sitting area, total over 4,000 square feet of indoor and covered outdoor living space. There are many cozy nooks and thoughtful built-ins throughout. The architectural design of Heart of Hualalai takes full advantage the property’s 1,000-foot, cooler, elevation. Coastal and mountain breezes, day and night, keep the home at an ideal temperature and render air conditioning truly unnecessary. Your days will be kissed by a gentle onshore flow, while the night offers the gift of cool mountain breezes for the perfect sleep. Coqui frogs are often heard throughout the night and the neighborhood roosters start their day jobs early. Heart of Hualalai’s thoughtful and creative tropical design including beautiful hand-crafted French and clerestory windows, high ceilings, raw-cut cedar walls, numerous built-in seats and nooks, and gorgeous views out of every window. The home incorporates materials consistent with its tropical ethos, including solid mahogany, teak and koa cabinets, ipe hardwood floors, and fossil-inspired porcelain tile. The open kitchen is a chef’s delight configured for serious cooking and entertaining. Numerous paths meander through the terraced gardens at Heart of Hualalai.

This property was pretty much perfect. The architecture is very unique and the finish details on the house are flawless. The way the house is spread out, all of the guests had privacy and really felt like we were all staying at a high end resort. The pool is perfect! So nice to have the hot tub as well.
The owner Laurens was really great. He comminicated with me and gave us tips on things to do, restaurants, hikes, you name it. He really made the trip amazing and felt like we were friends by the end!
Ive been telling everyone i know about this house. I feel its a real bargain based on all you get on the property.
We rent vacation properties several times a year, this is up there with the best. And hope to visit again someday!

I cannot boast enough about how gorgeous this property truly is! If it’s not the ocean breeze, sparkling clean pool, gorgeous decor, or spacious layout with well manicured landscaping that makes you book it, then let it be the property owners. Laurens and Kimberly are always available, extremely accommodating, and for us vital to ensure a wonderful experience! They have numerous tips and recommendations to give, Laurens personally helped with trying to figure out our flight situation when our flights were abruptly cancelled. They showed us the true meaning of ALOHA! The kitchen is stocked with many spices and everything you would need to make a beautiful dinner! Kimberly added a personal touch by sticking drinks we prefer and some delicious Hawaiian snacks, as well as fresh oranges picked that day off a tree on property. The property is very private, but still close to all amenities the town has to offer including just a short, brief drive to KOA airport. If you are looking for a place that checks all the boxes, look no further, this property is the one! Mahalo Laurens and Kimberly!

As full time travelers, we've had the great fortune of staying in some incredible locations around the world, but this beautiful home is the single best we've ever experienced.
We've never had a more well appointed home from the amazing chef's kitchen to the extensive beach gear to the amazing pool and hot tub.
The attention to detail was extraordinary.
It was the perfect setting for our entire family, including our 3 year old grandchild.
From the very beginning, our hosts and on-site caretakers were exceptional and accommodating.
If you're looking for an incredible location with incredible views and close to everything in the Kailua-Kona area, we couldn't recommend this home more!

This was by far the best house we have stayed in on the islands! Everything was spotless and gorgeous. The artwork throughout the house was so beautiful, the surround sound Sonos, the chefs kitchen and the pool and hot tub! The view, the grounds/garden, the fresh oranges, avocado, lemons and limes! The bedrooms are so comfortable, the bathrooms had everything you would ever need. The breezes keep it cool at night which we didn’t know we needed! We loved everything about this house and not one complaint. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and have made it such a welcoming haven, we cannot wait to return!

My family just left the Heart of Hualalai after a ten day stay with our two adult children, their spouses and children, ages 2 and 4. It was a tropical paradise and the owners take meticulous pride, care and great attention to detail. I am struggling with the words to describe this large estate. The set up of this home was perfect for our family and every thoughtful detail you could imagine was here, including a gourmet kitchen, multiple lanais, heated pool, large bedrooms and more. The Cottage suite allowed us privacy from the other parts of the home and was separated by a beautiful furnished breezeway to the other parts of the home. Each bedroom was beautifully decorated and offered everything and more than we could imagine. We’ve stayed in a number of homes when traveling, but this by far exceeded anything we could have dreamed. Every inch of the Heart of Hualalai was beautifully landscaped, secluded and offered security. Security gates were around the pool offering safety for the children. The owners were wonderful, making sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond. And of course, I must mention the breathtaking sunsets glistening over the water.

My husband and I stayed here with three other couples and we still can't stop talking about this incredible property. Vacationing with a group can be tricky but we ALL loved being able to relax and recharge in such a comfortable space.
The entire home is filled with natural light, thoughtful amenities and perfectly curated decor. The kitchen had everything we needed to make home-cooked meals (when we didn't feel like dining out) and the living room was the perfect spot for movie nights when we were tired from adventuring.
It goes without saying that the pool area is a wonderful place to watch the sunset but a few of us realized that the outdoor shower is the perfect way to START the day. Yes, the property is secluded enough that you can take a glorious hot shower outside, looking across the ocean.
I won't go into the convenient location or the amazing sunsets, or the beautiful gardens surrounding the house. Instead, I'll share something more personal. Throughout all of our adventures, day-trips, boat rides, and nights out, this house was the one place where our whole group always got along with each other and felt like a family. We learned a lot about the "Aloha Spirit" while in Hawaii and we could really FEEL it in this home.

Our stay at #HeartOfHuaLalai Kona, Big Island was pure paradise! From the stunning ocean view to the meticulously curated tropical garden, every aspect was awe-inspiring. The well-preserved wood smart home offered a spacious and resort-like feel, with a thoughtful layout that balanced privacy and communal spaces perfectly.
The owner's passion and dedication to maintaining the home were evident in every detail throughout the property. The breathtaking panorama of the ocean, accompanied by the melodic sounds of nature, and cool breeze made us feel connected to the beauty around us.
The owner was attentive & made sure we had everything we needed. Our family of 8, with kids aged 8 to 15, loved searching for ripe fruits in the vast tropical garden to harvest & the inviting pool which they prefer over the local beaches. As an avid cook, I enjoyed the fully-equipped kitchen that allowed me to create everything from quick meals to culinary delights.
The multiple lanai & outdoor areas which are perfect for lounging, and the outdoor shower adds to the magical experience.
The collection of Asian furniture, art, and outdoor Buddha statues added cultural charm to the property. Overall, our stay at #HeartOfHuaLalai was magical and exceeded all expectations. If you seek a luxurious and nature-immersed getaway, this is the place for you. We are avid travelers who are always on the search for our next new destination, yet we can't wait to return to create more cherished memories here.

We just stayed at the Heart of Hualalai with our two kids (infant + toddler) and our parents.
We immediately felt at home and had a truly memorable experience. The house is beautiful, with so many unique and interesting details. It is set up thoughtfully so that multiple families can stay with a good amount of privacy. The owners have curated a beautiful art collection and the house is very high-tech (Sonos, Apple TV). The rooms are very comfortable and there are tons of books, including kids books. We were a little nervous about not having AC, but it wasn't missed at all. The owners provide beach equipment, snorkeling gear, towels, coolers, and really everything you will need for any adventure. The pool and hot tub are great and we loved the hammocks by the pool. The gym is also a nice bonus and we enjoyed looking out to the ocean as we worked out. The property is gorgeous with the most spectacular views of the ocean. We enjoyed exploring the different pathways and picking fruit, and we were lucky enough to harvest bananas during our stay. The location is great. It is 10 minutes from Kailua-Kona. The owners were always available to answer questions and were really accommodating before, during, and after our stay. Upon arrival they provided a beautiful welcome basket and there was a binder with very clear house instructions. Another special element for us were the neighbors. They immediately welcomed us as family, bringing over fruit, and sharing tips about the island.

Blown away by the architecture of this home and the landscape of the property. The photos don't capture the feeling you get when you walk in. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. It was so unique compared to the other rentals we’ve visited in the islands. After a long day of excursions, we were always happy to return and settle into the warmth to this home. Some days, we just didn’t want to go into town. We just hung around the house and watched movies, laid by the pool, listened to music and enjoyed the panoramic ocean views. The atmosphere is so relaxing and quiet away from the tourists, except for the roosters that work us up every day when the sun came up! But as city folks, we grew to love waking up to nature and the birds chirping in the trees.
The warm pool was a plus as many properties we’ve stayed in did not heat the pool, and the water at this elevation can get very cold. There is no air conditioning at this property, but we were always comfortable. We kept the windows open at night too and sometimes we even got cold, so we needed an extra blanket! Ceiling fans in every room also help with air flow.
Since we were here for several weeks, it was great to make our own food and take picnic lunches to the beach. We saved so much money not having to eat every meal out. Healthier too! The house was so well equipped with beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, etc. We loved the smoker and the pizza oven. SO FUN!
Would definitely return.

We travel to Hawaii with a large group of family and friends a lot and, without exaggeration Heart Of Hualalai was the most beautiful and well equipped rental we have ever stayed at. The listing photos barely do it justice and the property was exactly as described. We cannot say enough about the owners’ attention to detail and their rapid response when we had a minor issue.
The views and sunsets were spectacular and the pool and spa a dream. Not a day went by where we didn’t enjoy sunset cocktails in the hot tub or on the lanai bar. The grounds are lush and beautiful - there were even banana fruits growing! We don’t do heat well and the temps up there were perfect for us. It was about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than down at the beach and the cool mountain breezes at night made for great sleeps. The property is located less than ten minutes from downtown Kona and local beaches - Magic Sands was our favorite.
We had eleven in our group and everyone was super comfy in the five bedrooms. The master suit was amazing for Mrs. and I. There are so many seating and relaxing areas inside and out – again…attention to detail. The fitness center was an unexpected surprise and a number of us used it every single day.
The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed using the BBQ and smoker often. The highlight for us foodies was the wood fired pizza oven. We made some great pizzas and even baked bread once.
Highly recommend for your extended stay on The Big Island.

What a beautiful home! We loved everything about our stay at Heart of Hualalai. The moment you walk through the front door it feels like home. The kitchen is high end, well stocked, and organized.
They’ve thought of everything at this property. You won’t have to worry about beach umbrellas, coolers, dry bags, snorkeling gear, beach chairs or towels. It’s all there!!
We also loved the decor, it’s vibrant, tropical and refined. Throughout our trip I kept finding small details about the property that added to the charm.
The view is amazing! I had my coffee on the patio of the master suite everyday, listening to the birds and looking out at the ocean, so wonderful.
We traveled with our two small children and never worried once for their safety. The gorgeous pool/spa area is fully secured, it gives parents peace of mind.
Our family spent hours in the pool area, it was a huge hit! They’ve thought of everything at this property, there’s plenty of seating and pool toys.
There’s also a pizza oven, BBQ and smoker on-site… we even had a pizza party one day and it was perfect!
Need to get some work done? They’ve got you covered. I had to take a work meeting, and it was seamless. The internet is fast and reliable, there’s office supplies available along with desk space in the master suite. It was perfect for my needs.
The Host has every detail imaginable in their welcome email, they also have a binder available for ease of use. You won’t have to worry about anything on this trip. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Heart of Hualalai.

From the beautiful landscaping, perfect size pool, cool morning breeze, and views of the ocean this home added a special touch to our Hawaiian Vacation! I can't say enough about the owners who were happy to assist with any questions. The house has a fantastic layout that provides space for everyone. And, if you are worried about no A/C, I wouldn't. We love having our AC at 70 while home, and most mornings were close to 68 while in Kona. There is a comfortable breeze all day long, and the sunsets are fantastic. You are close to just about everything. Hapuna Beach, Kua Bay, Two Step, Manta Village, numerous restaurants, and movie theaters. If you are interested in offshore fishing most charters are only 15 minutes away as well. Couldn't ask for a better home/vacation. The home and the owners are rentals/people that you root for! Thank you guys for opening up your home to us!
