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.

Can't beat falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing outside and a nice breezing coming in off the ocean. This house is absolutely beautiful. Quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend and visit again!Like what most said...its a bit of a haul in and out of the place so Id suggest loading up on groceries before you arrive.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
We stayed in the location for 10 days July 5-15. The view from the lanai was excellent and the sunsets were beautiful. The master bed room was very roomy and the kitchen was well equipped and fairly well stocked. The second bedroom was a little smaller than we thought, the furniture in the living room is dated and needs to be replaced and needs to be much more comfortable, The drive up and down from the location to the main road is curvy with little railings with bit of a drop off so be sure to get back before dark if possible. It’s a tricky somewhat scary drive at night. It takes about 1 hour to get to Kona and 1;30 to get to Hilo without w lot of shopping areas near the hour! In the summer it’s a little toasty in the house at 3-7 pm even with the fans. It does not cool off from the breeze off the ocean untouched l around 11 pm!
