Awesome View, Best Snorkel Beach, Big Lanais, Private Home

Kahaluu Beach Holmes is a great vacation rental property with a spectacular view! We are located a short 300 feet from Kahaluu Beach, one of the Island’s premier snorkeling beaches. Our home offers unrivaled views of the beach and a panoramic view of the pacific ocean from our large lanais. We offer 4400 sq ft of living space on two levels and can sleep 10 comfortably. Larger groups contact us prior to booking.

The top two floors of the 3 story home, that are approximately 2200 sq ft each. Both floors have two king bedrooms / two bathrooms, a full size furnished kitchen, large living room, and private lanai with beautiful ocean views. For larger groups each level has a comfortable queen size futon with a 'real' mattress, the 2nd floor has an additional queen size Murphy bed in the living room. This allows beds for 10 plus the futons.

Each floor has a private entrance as well as a comfortable indoor split level stairway that joins them.

The house is fully furnished, there is great off street parking, laundry, WIFI, cable, and the view from the top floor is unmatched. Unquestionably one of the best vacation rentals in the area.

We are located 300 feet (an easy walk down the driveway) from Kahaluu Beach! Undoubtedly one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Fed by a fresh water spring, up to 10 million gallons per day. These waters are almost always calm, with colorful corals, rock formations, and 100+ species of fish. Swim with huge schools of colorful fish and green sea turtles in these protected waters; don't forget your underwater camera!

The north end of the beach is where the waves break and is best for body boarding and surfing. The local surf instructors give lessons there on a regular basis. Kahaluu is well loved because of the calm, protected waters - perfect for families and kids as well as the adventurous wave seeker. Shady trees surround this beautiful sandy beach. Facilities include a pavilion, rest rooms, showers, a lifeguard tower. Concession stands, surf school and beach gear rental.

Please call with any questions!

Great for a family vacation
Our family of 8 stayed in the top two floors of the home, which is just a long driveway from Ali'i Drive, and then across the street to Kahulu'u Beach. It worked out very well for us! A kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms on each floor plus boogie boards and water shoes to share. There are several homes along the driveway, ruins of an old heiau on Ali'i, and snorkeling at the beach. A relaxed place to spend a week!

What a great place to stay! Had a great time!
there were nine of us, ages 10 to 67, we all enjoyed the house. It was very comfortable and well maintained. The view from the lanai was incredible. The location was perfect, we'd walk to beach and snorkle. Close to shopping, night life and harbor.

Great stay close to the beach
Group of 7 adults. We had a great stay at this place. Home is clean, spacious, has everything you need but you need to bring your own toiletries. Short drive to town, great snorkeling beach right across the street and amazing views from the balconies. Host was responsive and helpful. Would recommend and stay again. Thank you!

Great view & location, but a few cons I wish I knew before booking:
This house has an incredible view and location. It’s so great to be able to walk down the driveway and be at an incredible snorkeling beach. It is also a good size and layout for multi-generational families traveling together. There are a few cons I would have liked to have known prior to booking. The house is worn out, some of the furniture is broken and sinking (the owner notified me 2 days after checking in that the futon was broken and not to use it), the dishes are chipped, and the landing to the front door is a serious liability that is about to fall through. Secondly, the owner watches you on their outdoor camera in the yard. I was contacted on day 2 of my 7 day stay and asked to not sit on the outdoor patio set at the bottom of the stairs, this set is right in the middle of the space we are “allowed” to use. There is no sign or note in the thorough house rules book that states this. Lastly, you pay a cleaning fee but are still expected to do your dishes, take out the trash and put the dirty laundry in the laundry baskets. On top of that, we had to wash all the dishes prior to using because they were put away in the cupboards dirty!

Plenty of room. Pictures were accurate. No AC was a bit of a challenge this time of year in the bedrooms but fans helped.

Wonderful location
This house was set in a wonderful location! We were able to snorkel and rent surfboards right across the street! It was perfect. There is a grocery store within 5 minutes and you are able to cook in if you want. At first we were nervous about no air co di Orion if but don’t let that scare you off! once you open the windows and turn the fans on it is perfect! The outside porches are also the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set!

Amazing location of the perfect house for a large group!
This house was perfect for our large family! We were able to let our adult children and their significant others take the 2nd floor and we took the 3rd floor! It was very close to a very cool snorkeling location! We enjoyed the quick access to a beautiful beach! I got a little anxious raising for instructions for checking in however they sent it slightly early so that was nice!
