Some properties are defined by what they have. Kinohi at Heeia, set on a bluff above sparkling He’eia Bay in historic Keauhou, is defined by what surrounds it. The Pacific stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. Humpback whales breach offshore in season. Tropical palms frame a lawn that ends at the ocean’s edge. This is what $4,450,000 buys in the Kona luxury real estate market at its rarest. View the full listing here.
The Compound: Scale, Privacy, and Flexibility
The main residence spans two stories with five bedrooms and three baths. A separate house adds meaningful versatility. Together the compound accommodates up to 14 guests, a scale of hospitality that few oceanfront properties anywhere in Kona can match.
The home was thoughtfully rebuilt in 2017, bringing modern systems and finishes to a setting that has no contemporary equivalent. Split-zoned air conditioning handles the warmth of the island quietly and efficiently. The fully equipped kitchen anchors the main level for serious entertaining. Upstairs bedrooms open toward He’eia Bay, with a lanai off the primary suite that frames the water in every direction.
The Outdoor Living Environment
Outside, a resort-style pool and spa anchor the living space between the home and the water. Tropical landscaping, including ulu, Samoan coconut palms, lilikoi, mango, lime, and lemon trees, creates a lush and private canopy around the property. A sprawling lawn extends to the ocean’s edge, where a gazebo and double hammock invite the kind of stillness that this setting produces naturally.
An outdoor gas grill completes the entertaining setup. Weekly professional maintenance keeps the property in immaculate condition year-round, a meaningful detail for Buyers considering the property as a vacation rental or second home with minimal hands-on management.
The Short-Term Rental Credential
Kinohi at Heeia carries an active, transferable short-term vacation rental registration in a resort-zoned area, with a proven multi-year track record of rental income. For Buyers who want to hold this estate as an income-producing asset during periods of non-use, that registration is not simply a feature. It is a rare and increasingly difficult-to-obtain designation in the Kona market.
