About this property

Oceanfront Luxury Living w/ Private Pool and Spa

This permitted (STVR # 19-350867) stunning 3 bed/3.5 bath home offers the comfort of a spacious, private home with magnificent ocean views. Come relax and enjoy what we hope you’ll feel is like your home away from home. We have outfitted our home with many extras for the whole family to enhance your stay: a well-stocked high-end kitchen, wine refrigerator, games, beach towels and chairs, toys, floaties, fast wifi, flat screen TVs with AppleTV streaming services and air conditioning in every room are just to name a few.

You will have access to private concierge services to facilitate every aspect of your trip, from purchasing groceries to stock the refrigerator before your arrival, to restaurant recommendations and reservations, and helping arrange activities throughout the island. Our local property manager is available to you 24/7 for any needs that might arise.

Located in the privately gated Kohala Waterfront, you are so close to the ocean that during whale season you not only see them, but can also hear them! The house was remodeled in 2019 and is inside/outside living at its finest. Designer-decorated inside and out, you will be sure to love the fun and comfortable vibe of the WHALE TALE HALE. The beautiful furnishings, original artwork and all modern appointments set this house apart from others like it.

Upon entering the house, enjoy your very own Steinway piano along with guitars, ukuleles, bongos and more fun musical instruments for the whole gang to have a jam session.

The spacious master bedroom suite has over 180 degrees of ocean views which opens out onto the pool lanai as well as a private lanai with 2 hanging chairs to sit and watch amazing sunsets. This beautiful spa-like master bedroom features a custom made king-sized bed with an adjustable mattress, a large walk in closet, and a spacious en suite bathroom with a large and tranquil outdoor shower with ocean views.

The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed with an adjustable mattress, an en suite bathroom with a shower/bathtub combo, ocean views and your own lanai!

The third bedroom also has a queen-sized bed with an adjustable mattress, and an en suite bathroom with a shower, ocean views and your own lanai!

There is also a cozy den with a twin bed as well as a full sized pull out sofa. This room is an extra living or sleeping space that be closed off from the main living area.

The open concept living/kitchen area opens out onto another dining area overlooking your pool and the ocean! The kitchen is equipped with high end appliances and a huge selection of pantry items, cookware, and dishes. There are several places to enjoy food, family and friends, all with amazing ocean views!
Relax in the oversized "Cloud" sectional in the living room and turn on your favorite sports game from any room in the house, including the pool and hot tub areas! The entire inside and outside is also hooked up to the Sonos Stereo system to play your favorite playlist wherever you are.

Outside there is more than enough room for everyone to spread out. With views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and Maui it is just magical! The Whale Watching area at the front of the house includes a teak couch, 2 teak chaise lounges and extra poufs along with a fire pit: the perfect place for a sunset! The pool lanai includes the dining area, 2 Ibiza lounge chairs and an Ibiza double lounger, with plenty of shade to keep you nice and cool. The party lanai has plenty of comfortable seating around the oversized fire pit: the perfect spot for late night star gazing! Throw in the oversized spa and the infinity edge pool and you may never want to leave!!

When you want to have some fun on the ocean you are also in luck! We own Big Island Divers and Big Island Shaka (#1 Trip Advisor). Whether you want to rent a private fishing charter on our luxury Scout boat, enjoy a private snorkel or sunset sail on our 40' catamaran, snorkel with the Manta rays, or scuba dive we have you covered! Check us out online and our concierge will be happy to help book any excursion at a discounted rate.

Beautiful house, whales and paradise

Amazing house, fully supplied with everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped for us to prepare a Christmas dinner. The views are outstanding and our favorite activity was hanging out in the pool watching the whales and dolphins out in the bay. Owners were very prompt in responding to questions. Probably the best home we have ever rented.

Truly an amazing home and location

This is truly an amazing property, and we have rented 6 other homes in the islands. It really is better than the pictures. The pool is much larger than it looks in the photos. Whale watchimg from the lanai (overlooking the pool) or from on the pool was a treat. Great beds. A/C zones for individual preferenced. An incredibly well stocked kitchen. If you rent this ho.e, youbwill NOT be disappointed! We give it 6 stars out of 5.

Beautiful views in great community

We all loved our vacation stay! The views of the Whales and sunset were spectacular every day. The location was far enough North to take us out of any resort traffic and kept us in a relaxing quiet neighborhood overlooking the ocean. There were numerous pool and beach toys for the children and we felt comfortable throughout the home. Enjoyed all aspects of the property.

Lovely house and property, great location and views!

Our six-night stay was fantastic. We would have liked to stay longer but the property is popular and booked, for good reason. We agree with the other comments praising the location, views, quiet neighborhood, well-stocked kitchen, bath, laundry, pool/beach supplies, books, music, games, whales (in season) and especially the great property manager, Sophie. We look forward to staying at this property again.

Spectacular views

We stayed at the house for 12 days over Christmas and Nee Years. Waking up every morning to spectacular views is a great way to start the day. Everyone loved the pool. There was something for everyone and that made it easy to spend tons of time together as a family. A car is necessary in order to go places and get things but that is true for every place we have ever stayed on the big island. I would definitely recommend

Incredible property

We stayed here in April 2023. The property was absolutely spectacular. In addition to the wonderful view of the ocean, the pool, hot tub, and fire pits…the hosts have thoughtfully prepared the property for the many needs you might have. From sunscreen and aloe to pool and beac gear, kitchen gadgets and appliances, to helpful directions and guides. There are lots of different areas to sit and relax, room for many to stay comfortably. It feels like living in a luxury home, not a rental property. Highly recommend. This property exceeded our expectations in every way.

Best VRBO experience ever!

We have stayed in a number of rented properties and none lived up to the advertisements. This one far exceeded our expectations! The pictures of the house and amenities were compelling but when we got there and actually saw the view, decor, and complete kitchen accessories, we were blown away! The attention to detail was appreciated. The build quality of the house was excellent and the floor plan to maximize all of the ocean views was spectacular. We will be back again!

Amazing—I’d give 5,000 stars if I could.

This house has everything and more. The host thought of everything. Literally everything. Baskets of toiletries in every bathroom, workout items if that’s your thing. Music area, computer, the list goes on. The house is beautiful in an area that is quiet and alluded and close enough that the resort area is a quick drive. And don’t get me started on the whales. It was our own private sea world show all day every day. Amazing and we definitely hope to be back!

Amazing house- Looks just like the pictures!

This house is amazing. It looks exactly as it does in the listing. It’s impeccably maintained and is incredibly well stocked. Anything that you might possibly need on The Big Island they have in this house— from flashlights to see the volcano at night to a smoothie machine to every bathroom amenity imaginable. There are also so many TVs in the house (including outside in view of the pool and hot tub) set up with Direct TV and Apple TV. The technology set up here is amazing! The hosts are so receptive and helpful. They made our trip wonderful. I honestly can’t recommend this house enough.

Amazing Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay. We spent 10 days on the Big Island and had a blast. This was our third VRBO in the area and this was by far our favorite home. The home is well appointed with anything you might need. Beach towels, beach chairs, pool floats, snorkle gear, etc. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with anything you might need. There’s a brand new grill out back. The sonos sound system and tv’s theoughout were great. 6:00am college football from the hot tub was a great way to start the day. The house has incredible views all around. Wonderful sunsets. Great views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. The home is in a great area in North Kohala. Quiet and chill with lots of activities nearby. We’ve already re-booked for next year. A 10 out of 10 no doubt.

Fantastic home!! Bright and welcoming!!

This house is everything and more! The trip was an annual vacation that I take with my two adult sons (ages 27 and 30). We have stayed in many VRBO homes. This one is spectacular!! We thoroughly enjoyed this home’s many amenities. Beds and rooms were comfy and spacious. The setting was gorgeous from the interior design to the landscaping and infinity pool area. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the fruit basket. We appreciated the products they provided for us in the bathrooms too! The home is located conveniently to excellent dining and is in a gated community which made us feel quite safe. On arrival, Sophie greeted us with great tips for fun activities. Thank you, Sophie!! We all wished we could stay for a month in this relaxing and beautiful home!! I would definitely return.

Better than the pictures!

One of the best stays we've ever had. The house is so perfectly situated, there are breathtaking views from every room. When you are in the pool it feels like you are floating somewhere between sea and sky. The house far exceeded our expectations. It's large, and every bedroom feels private. The beds are comfortable, and the linens were wonderful. Every amenity you could want or think of has been provided, and there were even sweet welcome treats for us. Communication was easy and fast. There is a handy guide for the house and nearby places to go. The landscaping is beautiful, and the decor in the house is so fun! My favorite thing was having coffee outside by the pool every morning while watching tiny tropical birds come down and play in the water at the pool's edge. Every view has a spot to relax and take it in, Sunset by the front of the house fire pit, sunrise by the pool, ocean views from the hot tub. The house is so nice we didn't want to leave it! Will absolutely book this house again during whale migration season or any other time of year, it's 100% worth it! It made our stay on the Big Island amazing! Thank you to the hosts for creating such a welcoming home and sharing it with others!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Heitz

Host profile image
We purchased this home with our friends in 2018. We gave it a remodel to make it a fun vacay home for all to enjoy!

I personally manage this home with my assistant Sophie. Together we can't wait to help make this vacation home your happy place that you want to come back and enjoy year after year.

Why they chose this property

VIEWS VIEWS and More VIEWS!! Honestly, I have been to many homes all over the Island and this house has the best! You are only about 150 yards from the ocean and can see Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kohala and Maui. Enjoy watching the dolphin pods that come by pretty much everyday and in Whale season you have an up close view of breeching whales, you are even close enough to hear them!! Seriously, you may never want to leave the house.
