About this house rental


Heart of Hualalai, Kona, Hawaii

Imagine waking up to sweeping ocean views, sipping freshly brewed Kona coffee on your private lanai, and ending the day watching spectacular Hawaiian sunsets from your own tropical retreat. Welcome to Heart of Hualalai, a one-acre private estate in Kona coffee country where thoughtful architecture, lush gardens, and modern comforts come together to create an exceptional home away from home.

A Private Tropical Retreat

Hidden behind private gates and surrounded by beautifully landscaped, tropical gardens, Heart of Hualalai offers a peaceful sense of seclusion while remaining less than 10 minutes from downtown Kona and nearby beaches. Enjoy expansive ocean, coastline, and garden views stretching from Keauhou Bay to the Kona airport.

Relax beside the solar heated swimming pool, soak in the hot tub, explore the winding garden paths, or settle into one of the many inviting lanais and outdoor sitting areas. Whether you're gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply enjoying the slower pace of island life, there is room here to find your own favorite corner.

Room to Gather, Space to Unwind

With four private guest bedrooms and comfortable accommodations for up to 10 guests, Heart of Hualalai is ideal for families and groups who want to spend time together without sacrificing personal space.

The estate offers more than 4,000 square feet of indoor and covered outdoor living space across three interconnected structures: the main house, a separate master cottage suite, and an attached caretaker's studio. Guest accommodations include the main house, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room, plus the master cottage, with its own bedroom, bathroom, and living room. The master bedroom has a king sized bed while two of the main house bedrooms have a queen sized bed and one of the main house bedrooms has two queen beds.

Multiple lanais, breezeways, built-in seating, and cozy nooks create inviting spaces for everything from shared meals and lively conversation to a quiet afternoon with a book.

Distinctive Tropical Architecture

Heart of Hualalai is more than a place to stay—it's a home thoughtfully designed to embrace its tropical surroundings. Handcrafted French and clerestory windows, soaring ceilings, raw-cut cedar walls, rich mahogany, teak and koa cabinetry, ipe hardwood floors, and fossil-inspired porcelain tile give the home its distinctive character.

Beautiful garden and ocean views appear throughout, while the open, well-equipped kitchen is designed for guests who love to cook, entertain, and gather around the table.

Outdoor Living, Hawaiian Style

Wander the garden paths through a lush landscape of tropical plants and fruit trees, including bananas, avocados, dragon fruit, mangoes, passion fruit, vanilla orchids, lemons, limes, and oranges. Seasonal availability varies, but the gardens offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the abundance of tropical growing.

Enjoy the solar heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, rinse off in one of two outdoor showers, or gather around the wood-fired pizza oven for a memorable evening. Guests also have access to a gym, two laundry centers, and a dedicated luggage storage room.

The pool is solar-heated and designed to maintain a comfortable temperature of approximately 80–85°F, depending on weather and sunshine. The hot tub uses a high efficiency heat-pump system set to 102°F.

Comfortable Naturally, Connected Everywhere

At approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, the property enjoys cooling coastal and mountain breezes. The home's open design and natural ventilation help keep indoor spaces comfortable without conventional air conditioning. As with much of Hawaii, the natural soundtrack may include coqui frogs at night and neighborhood roosters in the early morning.

For guests who need to stay connected, Heart of Hualalai combines its tranquil setting with modern technology. Complimentary gigabit internet service and mesh Wi-Fi throughout, provide coverages making remote work, video calls, and streaming ultra convenient.

Each guest bedroom and living area features Sonos audio and a 4K smart TV. The master cottage also includes a dedicated workspace with a 4K monitor, ergonomic office chair, laptop docking connections and accessories for PC and Mac, keyboard, mouse, and wireless laser printer.

Whether you're working remotely for an extended stay or simply enjoying your favorite entertainment after a day exploring the island, you'll have the comforts and connectivity of home.

Your Kona Home Base

Spend your days discovering the beaches, coastal scenery, local restaurants, and attractions of the Kona area, then return to the privacy of your own tropical estate. Enjoy a morning coffee overlooking the ocean, an afternoon by the pool, dinner with your favorite people, and a sunset that reminds you why you came to Hawaii.

Heart of Hualalai offers a rare combination of privacy, generous living spaces, tropical beauty, and thoughtful amenities—an inviting setting for a memorable Hawaiian getaway.

Beautiful house and a fantastic experience from start to finish. The pictures somehow don't do it justice. Laurens was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed to know before we arrived. There was plenty of beach equipment, board games, and pool toys to fill up our days and evenings.A few other things we loved: the location was perfect, right in the middle of everything Kona has to offer. The house had an authentic Hawaiian feel to it, and the openness of the design was really neat. We were also pleasantly surprised to find fresh fruit, treats, and snacks waiting for us when we arrived, a thoughtful touch we didn't expect. Heidi, who was on property to help with any questions, was extremely helpful throughout our stay.The Heart Of Hualalai is a truly authentic Hawaiian experience, and one we will never forget. We can't recommend it enough and hope to be back.

Our week on the Big Island and the Heart of Hualalai was absolutely magical. Our group of friends has traveled to many wonderful places in the world together, and this trip was one of the most special for many reasons, including this spectacular home. Not only is it beautiful inside and out with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Pacific and surrounded by lush plantings but so lovingly and thoughtfully appointed for comfort and enjoyment. Truly every detail attended to—we love to cook with each other and the large kitchen/dining space was equipped with all the equipment one could hope for including sharp knives, a Thermapen, a rice cooker, and a large selection of spices and basic ingredients. Laurens and Heidi were so kind and always willing to help and yet unobtrusive. Thank you for your care that enabled us to have the best time.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Heart Of Hualalai! Laurens was a gracious host and the on-site property manager, Heidi, was so helpful as well. Everything was easy as far as arrival and the house had everything we needed to relax as soon as we unpacked.The property grounds and pool and spa are gorgeous. My kids loved swimming in the pool and exploring the grounds. Our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) had plenty of room to spread out. There were so many cozy and view filled spots to sit and enjoy the property or read a good book, of which there are many. There was also a cabinet full of games and a drawer of craft supplies. We loved cooking in the well appointed kitchen with a full array of spices and everything we could possibly need. The coffee bar also had everything we needed! We appreciated the laundry room, the fully stocked supply of beach bags, chairs, snorkel gear and boogie boards!The location is wonderful, we loved being up on the hillside and enjoyed watching the sun set into the ocean. The closest beaches, downtown Kona and grocery stores were only about 10 minutes away. The tiny charming town of Holualoa is just a 4-5 minute drive.This house is truly the perfect vacation house. Everything was so thoughtfully curated and we felt very cared for. Laurens was a kind and thoughtful host who checked in with us and even helped make sure we were able to make it to see episode 50 of Kilauea at Volcano Natl. Park. Just book it and enjoy!

My family had a great time at the house. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for everyone. My husband and I really enjoyed having our own space with its own bathroom. laundry, and living room. The kitchen was very well equipped all supplies "top notch" and we enjoyed cooking several meals in it. The house is close to everything you need to enjoy your stay including shops, restaurants and beaches. The view, gardens and pool area are all spectacular. I wanted my family to experience a traditional Hawaiian vibe during their stay and this house and grounds delivered! The hosts and Heidi (caretaker) were great and provided several tips and recommendations along the way. It was a privilege to stay 8 nights in such a beautiful place!
