About this house rental

Kahaluu Beach Holmes is a great vacation rental property with a spectacular view! We are located a short 300 feet from Kahaluu Beach, one of the Island’s premier snorkeling beaches. Our home offers unrivaled views of the beach and a panoramic view of the pacific ocean from our large lanais. We offer 4400 sq ft of living space on two levels and can sleep 10 comfortably. Larger groups contact us prior to booking.

The top two floors of the 3 story home, that are approximately 2200 sq ft each. Both floors have two king bedrooms / two bathrooms, a full size furnished kitchen, large living room, and private lanai with beautiful ocean views. For larger groups each level has a comfortable queen size futon with a 'real' mattress, the 2nd floor has an additional queen size Murphy bed in the living room. This allows beds for 10 plus the futons.

Each floor has a private entrance as well as a comfortable indoor split level stairway that joins them.

The house is fully furnished, there is great off street parking, laundry, WIFI, cable, and the view from the top floor is unmatched. Unquestionably one of the best vacation rentals in the area.

We are located 300 feet (an easy walk down the driveway) from Kahaluu Beach! Undoubtedly one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Fed by a fresh water spring, up to 10 million gallons per day. These waters are almost always calm, with colorful corals, rock formations, and 100+ species of fish. Swim with huge schools of colorful fish and green sea turtles in these protected waters; don't forget your underwater camera!

The north end of the beach is where the waves break and is best for body boarding and surfing. The local surf instructors give lessons there on a regular basis. Kahaluu is well loved because of the calm, protected waters - perfect for families and kids as well as the adventurous wave seeker. Shady trees surround this beautiful sandy beach. Facilities include a pavilion, rest rooms, showers, a lifeguard tower. Concession stands, surf school and beach gear rental.

Please call with any questions!

Perfect location! Close to town and right across the street from terrific snorkeling and surfing. Great views from the deck. We had a group of six adults and it was wonderful to have some separate living space on both floors. Convenient parking. Very comfortable. No AC but plenty of fans. Would definitely stay here again.

This house is amazing! It was perfect for 3 couples, we had lots of space to roam around and do our own thing when we wanted to. The snorkel beach across the street was the best snorkeling we had on our trip. We also went to Kauai. There were so many different fish it was amazing! The house was clean and comfortable. Thank you for an amazing stay! If/when we come back, we would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

The house was very accommodating, we had a great time beautiful views from the lānai. It’s central to pretty much everything. Highly recommended, great for large group.

You stay here because of the location. Being a short walk away from some excellent snorkeling and beautiful views are the standouts of this Vrbo. It is also a short drive to downtown Kona and to a nearby shopping area with a grocery store. The accommodation itself is dated and would be surprised if it was ever updated and there are aspects of the house the need a refresh especially considering the price point of the home. Furthermore given the 400 cleaning fee I would expect the home to be spotless upon arrival but it was not. If you are looking for a pleasant and simple place near a prime snorkeling spot this is your place. But its cost point and lackluster accommodation quality would have me looking at other options in the future.
