The house has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge chef's kitchen, lovely dining room, and a spacious living room. The expansive outdoor lanai, with swimming pool and BBQ, is perfect for lazy days, outdoor dining, enjoying sunsets and stargazing.
This is a lovely house for family and small gatherings of friends but there are no parties allowed and total guest number may not exceed 6 people booked to stay overnight with no more than10 allowed on the property at any one time.
This historic house was built in 1955 as the Manager’s house for Kealia Ranch. It was designed by noted local architect Albert Ives who, early in his career, designed the additions and alterations to what is now known as the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. Native materials such as Koa, Ohia, and lava rock were sourced and finished on-island by local artisans. In 1957 an annex was added across the courtyard with additional bedrooms and baths. The old ranch brand is inscribed in the brick walkway at the top of the entrance stairs.
The house is near Ho’okena Beach - a wonderful sparkling bay bordered by a black and white sand beach. Situated amidst ranch lands, the house offers a gracious escape from a busy world.
Fragrant and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs planted around the house include plumeria, ylang ylang, cinnamon gardenia, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, avocado, starfruit, acerola cherry, tea tree and rosemary.
This historic home is an ideal location from which to explore the shoreline of the Kona coast including the City of Refuge, Painted Church, Kealakekua Bay, Kona Coffee living history farm, and artisan coffee and cacao farms. From Kailua-Kona, the house lies approximately half way to Volcano National Park.

Summary: Wonderful house with lots of room (pics do not do it justice). Living room is large/comfy for 6 adults. Dining room seated 6 adults well. Well appointed kitchen had large 6-burner stove with a second oven available for side dishes. The laundry room had another shower/toilet, good washer/dryer w/ detergent, and some beach umbrellas, snorkeling fins, a good cooler and lots of beach towels. Lots of dark wood and open air doors/windows made it feel like we were on safari in Africa. Private parking was plenty either covered carport or open parking spots. Hot tub used daily! One note: only 1 king bed. All others are full or twin. Full bed was so soft we kept rolling into each other at night. But small thing in the grand scheme. Definitely loved it and would return.
