About this house rental
Welcome to Koni Kai, Hawaiian translation: Passionate Sea. Koni Kai is a beautifully designed, very comfortable oceanfront home. Considerable time and effort has been spent to ensure Koni Kai is equipped with everything one might want/need while on vacation.
Koni Kai is perched on an ancient lava flow on the South Kona coast in Milolii, the oldest fishing village in Hawaii. If you are looking for nightlife (other than some of the best constellation viewing on the planet), then this is probably not the place for you. If, however, you are seeking a luxurious personal refuge that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation, then you have found your perfect vacation destination at Koni Kai. Located 30 miles south of Kailua-Kona and just an hour’s drive from Volcano National Park, Koni Kai provides the perfect home base to lounge all day on the 1000 square foot sundeck, explore nearby black and green sand beaches, experience the dramatically different eco-systems in the rainforests near Hilo, or hike the volcano to search for petroglyphs and watch active red lava flow into the ocean. Regardless of how you choose to spend your days, you will be welcomed back to Koni Kai with some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, the perfect backdrop for the dramatically rugged landscape.
In the winter months (approximately November thru March), you will be able to sit on the sundeck and watch Humpback whales migrate, spinner dolphins perform and the occasional green sea turtle swim up to say hello. Some of the best snorkeling, diving and fishing can be found directly in front of the house due to a coral reef that spans the north side of the bay.
While we would hope the majority of your vacation is spent “un-plugged” from the chaos of the rest of the world, we understand there will be occasions when you need to check-in, so complimentary Wi-Fi internet and high-definition satellite television are provided. A brand-new, state of the art water filtration system, to include UV light, has been installed. The kitchen includes a Wolf gas range, Kenmore oven and microwave, Bosch dishwasher and every small appliance we could think of. There is also a laundry area with a brand new Whirlpool Duet hi-efficiency washer and dryer.
Koni Kai welcomes you with much Aloha, now and for all your future Hawaii visits. Please contact us with any questions you may have – we look forward to making your stay as pleasant and memorable as possible.

Fantastic stay with breathtaking views. Beauty that will leave you breathless. And so clean!

We enjoyed the solitude, ocean breeze, and stargazing… The location is remote. Driving is challenging at night or in the rain. The Volcano National Park was not too far of a drive and we enjoyed venturing out daily to discover new and interesting sites.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Beautiful patio with swimming and snorkeling down below. Saw dolphins every morning. Peaceful and private away from the congested parts of the area. Ample room, great laundry facilities, wifi, and a smart tv. Tankless water heater so plenty of hot water for showers. You’ll be sad to leave once your trip is over. 10/10!

Indoor outdoor living at its best. Windows and sliders all around to take in the sweeping ocean views. This house was closer to the water than all neighboring houses- made it very private. Well equipped kitchen made cooking meals easy. The huge back porch is where we spent most of our time watching the waves crash on the beach. If you snorkel in the nearby beach you will need water shoes and go at low tide when the waves are calm. The snorkeling is worth the effort so do it! We did not want to leave!
