Mele Kai is a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 3,000 sq. ft. oceanfront villa in Kona boasting breathtaking unobstructed ocean and sunset views from every room. Four sumptuous guest suites with ocean views accommodate ten guests in total comfort. In addition, guests enjoy direct beach access from Mele Kai!


Legendary beach-home architect Glen Bell designed the home. Recently updated, the design is Malibu contemporary beach chic, with modern, clean-lined living spaces designed to maximize views and let in island breezes.

The villa's crisp, bright interior embodies the modern beach home. White walls, light flooring, and architectural details that let in light from walls of windows and vaulted skylights above ensure a cheery space that caresses the senses. Blue and Seafoam accent colors call to mind the sparkling Hawaiian waters just outside the home. Modern furnishings complete the fresh, contemporary vibe.

The entire oceanfront side of the home is defined by modern folding glass doors that open onto lanais furnished with stylish chaise lounges and sitting chairs. Whether dining, cooking, or lying in bed, guests are treated to gorgeous ocean views and spectacular sunsets.


On the mountain or mauka side of the home, walls of folding doors open the living space to a long lava-rock-backed lap pool that offers a private space for fun and relaxation.

The elevated interior design encompasses all aspects of the home, from lighting and sound systems to appliances. For example, the modern chef's kitchen boasts Bertazzoni Appliances, a Nespresso machine – with cupboards well-stocked with world-renown Kona Coffee. A breakfast bar seats four guests for casual dining and socializing with the chef!

The villa is wired for modern sensibilities, with iPad-controlled lighting and Sonos Sound System; cue up mellow tunes for mornings and island beats for cocktail hour with ease. In addition, eight Samsung TVs ensure guests can watch their favorite movies and show with the highest-quality display.

Conveniently located in Kona, you have easy access to cute Kailua-Kona village with its restaurants and services and the resort beaches to the north. Just south of the home, the coastline is dotted with incredible snorkeling spots and less-crowded beaches.
  
Mele Kai is a fabulous home for family holiday vacations or getaways with friends. The villa is also available for weddings and retreats on a case-by-case basis.

Leticia
What a beautiful, comfortable home, with amazing views! My husband and myself and our 4 adult children with their spouses, so enjoyed our stay. We loved watching the wild life, and waves, that were literally right in front of us. We also enjoyed the snorkeling just a short walk down the street, in a small bay we could see from the home. It was a wonderful place to rest and relax after a busy day of exploring. The owner was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We definitely would recommend this home!

Great rental - you can’t beat the view of the ocean! Would recommend this rental! The only downside is the road is fairly busy and there is public beach access next to house. You will have people walking behind the house to hang out or snorkeling.

The house was better than the pictures, and the view and sounds from the ocean can't be described in words, it was breathtaking every day to wake up to. The waves lulled us to sleep every night, the best sound ever! We were close enough to town that it was an easy drive but far away that it was private and peaceful. Your backyard is the ocean and lava rocks with a little sand for the kids to play, you can't get closer to the ocean than this gorgeous home. Hosts were responsive and quick to fix our blinds that got stuck. You will want to have all the doors open when you are at this house to enjoy the amazing views and breeze. Highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our needs. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but lacked hooks for hanging robes, etc. in the bathrooms. The kitchen area is well equipped for 8 people, however we hired a personal chef for a celebratory meal. He was disappointed in the lack of some items. While the house sleeps 10, there was only seating for 8 at the dining table. We had issues with bugs, we found them in every room, and especially in the kitchen in the mornings. The fire alarm malfunctioned, going off around 4:00 a.m. one morning on the lower level, then the whole house later that day. Fortunately we had experienced people in our group who found the problem and reset the breaker in the electrical panel. All in all it was a great place, I requested a discount on our stay due to the bugs and alarm. I did not receive a response from the host.

Easily the most fantastic place we have ever stayed on the big island. The views are unmatched — we saw turtles, whales, & dolphins from our balconies. The sound of the ocean right outside the bedrooms was amazing. The kitchen was also fantastic—we made every meal at home and didn’t need to go out. Location is wonderful too. We will be back!

Unbeatable ocean views from every room! Arthur was friendly and responsive and even ordered new pack and play and high chair for our family to use. Welcome basket of treats was a nice surprise as well! Most luxurious Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Hope we can come back again soon.
