Perched atop a scenic bluff overlooking the sparkling waters of He‘eia Bay, “Kinohi at He‘eia” is a rare gem nestled in the heart of the historic Keauhou Resort region. This expansive two-story retreat offers five bedrooms, three baths, and a separate studio guest house, comfortably accommodating up to 14 guests. The home has a transferable short-term vacation rental permit.

As you step through the elegant double front doors, you’re welcomed into 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Offered turnkey, the home comes fully stocked with everything you need for island living — from pool and beach equipment to indoor and outdoor games and a delightful collection of children’s toys.

Set on a lush half-acre, the property is graced with tropical landscaping, including ulu (breadfruit) and Samoan coconut trees, and features a spacious lawn perfect for volleyball, lawn games, or simply relaxing in the double hammock as you watch surfers and, in season, migrating whales offshore.

The main house’s layout is perfectly suited for both comfort and privacy. On the main floor, a bedroom furnished with a queen bed and bunk beds sits adjacent to an ADA-accessible bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary with breathtaking ocean views, a private lānai overlooking He‘eia Bay, and even a glimpse of a historic holua slide on the slope of Hualālai Mountain. The suite boasts a king bed, a luxurious ensuite bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. Three additional upstairs bedrooms — two with queen beds and one with bunk beds — share a full bath and enjoy their own air conditioning units and ceiling fans. A second-floor laundry area adds extra convenience.

The main floor kitchen is a chef’s delight, fully equipped with appliances, cookware, and dishware, making it easy to prepare meals for a crowd. Just outside, the gazebo with its gas grill invites alfresco dining, while the open-concept living and dining areas flow effortlessly onto an ocean-facing lānai, mere steps from the inviting pool and jacuzzi. As the sun sets, solar lights create a magical tropical atmosphere.

The adjacent airy studio guest house provides even more flexibility, complete with a kitchenette, two queen-size pull-out sofa beds, a full bath with walk-in shower, and direct access to the pool deck. A split air conditioning unit and ceiling fans ensure comfort on the sunniest of days.

Engineered hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, while the baths feature elegant stone tile. Practical touches include a 110-gallon solar water heater to meet the needs of a full house, an oversized carport accommodating at least two vehicles, and an outdoor utility room with a second washer and dryer.

Steeped in Hawaiian history, the property even features an original stone konane (Hawaiian checkers) board and a stone tower, adding a unique cultural touch to this stunning retreat. Whether you’re gathering with family, entertaining friends, or simply soaking in the views and history of the area, “Kinohi at He‘eia” offers the ultimate island lifestyle.
