Incredible Ocean Front Lodging on "Turtle Cove" at Hale Honu Studio - Kona Oceanfront Rental! Ever dreamed of whiling away the afternoon gently swinging in an ocean side hammock? Then welcome to HALE HONU and this beautifully romantic oceanfront studio! Hale Honu means "House of the Sea Turtle," aptly named for the "family" of turtles frequently seen frolicking in the surf in front of the house (known locally as "turtle cove"). This very special oceanfront home is perfectly situated to offer privacy and unobstructed views the Kona coastline. Hale Honu is a two-story, three bedroom, three bath, truly OCEANFRONT home with extraordinary views of the ocean from all rooms of the home. The home is designed with an upstairs Two bedroom/two bath main house, and a LARGE 1 BEDROOM COMPLETE STUDIO, WITH BATH, KITCHEN AND SEPARATE ENTRANCE. This site is specifically for separate rental of the suite. The entire home can be seen at vrbo #34465. This unique ocean front gated property is surrounded by a beautiful lava rock wall and borders Pahoehoe Beach Park (an oceanfront beach park with shaded sitting areas, grass and a small keiki (child) friendly beach). Less than a three minute walk is Magic Sands Beach Park, famous for body surfing & boogie boarding, and is a gathering place at sunset to watch the passing of another day in paradise. On the garden/ground level is our complete PRIVATE SUITE with a separate, secured entrance, outdoor garden, dining and relaxing areas. This large (650+ square feet) living space includes a heavenly king-size bed romantically shrouded in privacy sheers, and a comfortable living room with new tropical decor, perfect for entertaining or snuggling (!). The suite has a complete kitchen with cook-top and refrigerator. The bathroom is luxuriously designed with marble tile and glass block, and a large shower containing dual shower heads, (for sharing of course!). Also, this suite has a large sitting area, and a separate dining room. Windows and sliders encompass all of the makai (ocean side) walls, so you can simply let the ocean air in, or step out and be right at the ocean’s edge. Our home is located just four miles south of the heart of Kailua-Kona village, and two miles north of the Keauhou shopping and cinema complex. Hale Honu is close to everything but is in a world of it's own! The grounds of the property are nicely landscaped and totally private, enclosed within six foot lava stone walls on three sides, opening to the Big Blue Pacific on the makai side. There are many comfortable places to sit and bask outside in the sun, or relax in the shade of the palms and tropical greenery. An antique bench from Thailand rests in a romantic shaded sitting area just at the ocean's edge, or just swing in the ocean side hammock under the shade of palm trees. When the sea is calm, snorkelers can explore the abundant reef and arches directly in front of the house; the ocean can be entered and exited from the lava outcropping on site when the surf is low. You can also enter the ocean from the adjacent beach. You will likely get a visit from our resident turtle family! A large lava shelf has excellent tidal pools for exploring at low tide. Also, Pahoehoe Beach Park is adjacent to the property(see above). Ocean side lounges are provided, as is a full sized laundry room. We strive to make our homes and your experience in them unique and filled with the spirit of aloha. You’ll find the home tastefully decorated, carefully maintained, and filled with lots of little extras (CD collection of Hawaiian music, binoculars, books on local history and cultural sites, etc.) This home imbues a special feeling of Peace and Aloha to everyone who visits it, and it is with that Aloha that we welcome you! Please Note... We do offer this property for vacation rental in three different ways: * Entire Home (including studio for a full three bedrooms and three baths) * Upstairs Only(two bedrooms and two baths) * SUITE ONLY (one bedroom and one bath) When the Suite and upper floor are rented to different parties, mutual respect of designated outdoor spaces assures privacy for everyone.
