Hale Pua
Hale Pua by Gather is a spectacular oceanfront home that is ready to welcome your entire extended family through its gated entry for the vacation of a lifetime. Located on Ali’i Drive along the rugged Kona coastline of the Big Island, this home boasts five air-conditioned bedrooms, six spacious bathrooms, and plenty of space to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Walls of ocean-facing glass open to maximize your enjoyment, from the sound of the waves crashing upon the rocks to the cool breezes blowing off the water. Watch the surfers catch the perfect wave and witness the wonders of mother nature from your backyard as you watch a pod of dolphins or turtles swim by, or marvel at the Humpback whales in the distance as they spout water high into the air, breach, or slap their fin against the surface of the water. This private oceanfront retreat has the perfect backdrop for eating al fresco, swimming, sunbathing, and marveling at amazing sunsets.
The kitchen and dining area are drenched in natural light and feature views of both the pool and the crystalline ocean. Cooking mouthwatering meals is effortless in Hale Pua’s kitchen, with state-of-the-art appliances, all the cookware you need, and two separate islands providing ample counter space and bar seating. Massive sliding glass doors open up to a large outdoor dining table, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with the gentle island breeze. Ready to feel refreshed and rejuvenated? Take a dip in the private saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub for a while. Enjoy yoga or watch the kids play on the lawn as the adults watch over them from lounge chairs positioned just outside the glass sliders that lead back into the comfortable living room, with its oversized sectional and flatscreen TV.
There’s no need to argue about who gets which room since every bedroom has a king-size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and its own full-size ensuite. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves in your sizable primary suite, with stunning ocean views both from the king-size bed and your private lanai that runs the length of the room. The primary bathroom treats you to double sinks, a walk-in closet, and a large tiled shower. The Ohana room can be enjoyed as a second primary suite with its king bed in the upstairs loft, downstairs bathroom, and sitting area with a queen sleeper sofa. For days when you need to check your work email, the office includes a workspace, as well as two twin beds where additional guests can lay their heads. The home includes a media room with an 80-inch TV, nine reclining seats, and hundreds of Blu-Rays for an epic movie night. There is also a game room where the family can hang out and play board games and charades or lounge on the comfortable sleeper sofa. In addition, you can keep packing to a minimum with the use of two full-size washers and dryers in the dedicated laundry room.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation or excitement, a fun-filled vacation is guaranteed as you spend your days enjoying the peace, tranquility, and beauty of Hale Pua, partake in adrenaline-producing activities, or explore the restaurants, shops, beaches, and cultural landmarks in the area. From Hale Pua, it’s a five-minute walk to Turtle Cove, where you can search for marine life in the tide pools, snorkel, surf, or go kayaking. Nearby, downtown Kailua-Kona provides numerous ocean activities, including scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Take a tour of Hulihe’e Palace, once home to native Hawaiian royalty, it’s now a museum featuring artifacts from the time of King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi’olani. Just across the street, you can visit Mokuaikaua Church, Hawai’i’s first Christian Church established in 1820. Out of town, you may also want to consider visiting the Observatory on Mauna Kea to do some stargazing and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park for the opportunity to see the lava flow, a potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Great house!
by Deborah H.We rented this house with a day's notice. Our flight was canceled and our family of 12 suddenly was without accommodations. Not only was the house everything that we needed as a large family, but the management company was outstanding and made the rental process fast and easy. When half of our family had a new flight cancelation once again, we needed to extend our visit by a day, and even that process was made easy. They went over and above to accommodate us at a time when we were all feeling in a panic. You won't go wrong renting this house!
We're pleased to hear that our property and management team could come to the rescue during your unexpected travel disruptions. It's important to us that our guests have a seamless experience, especially during challenging times. We're glad we could accommodate your large family and help you extend your stay without added stress. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Should your travels bring you back to the area, we'd be thrilled to host you again and ensure you have a wonderful stay. Safe travels to you and your family!
Friends enjoyed Hale Pua
by Rick S.The home was as advertised. We had plenty of room and beds for 5 couples. We spent many evenings eating outside and enjoying the beautiful sunset and view. The theater room was a bonus and a great place for our group to take in a movie. We had a fabulous time and Hale Pua met or exceeded our expectations.
Thank you for sharing your experience at Hale Pua! It sounds like you made the most of the outdoor dining area and enjoyed the beautiful sunset and view. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
50th Anniversary Trip
by Debbie N.We loved our stay at Hale Pua! Beautiful, spacious, and comfortable accommodations and absolutely breathtaking views! Waves crashing over the seawall, sunrises and sunsets and so much more. Close to downtown Kona, yet completely private. Our young grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the media room of course! The adults were thrilled with the setting. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much!

by Rebecca W.Beautiful property in a great location! Loved the pool and hot tub and the backyard had enough grass for the kids to play soccer and football.

Beautiful home on the water
We stayed here with 3 teenagers and three small children. The pool was great and the view of the water from the backyard was amazing. We loved the kitchen and the master bedroom suite. Had one question for management and they responded very quickly. Would definitely stay here again!

I highly recommend this place
by Whit/Lindsay WI highly recommend this place. The sunsets are postcard worthy. The house has everything you could possibly need. Turtle beach is just a short walk away and we saw multiple turtles there. The waves splash up on the grass in the afternoon which is so cool. Management company is on point with their communication. I could on and on. Would love to come back
Location, space, amenities
by Sandra DThis spacious home is located right on the edge of the water providing glorious views and the sound of the sea throughout the day. The home is beautifully equipped with top of the line kitchenware, table top, bedding and furniture. The "theater" room was a bonus. Though we worried about noise from the busy road adjacent to the property, the home was very quiet and peaceful. Terrific location convenient to activities and shopping.
Great place. over all rating is 4.5/4.7
by David MWish it had a tea pot/kettle. place had everything else, including gorgeous location and space for our large group.
Excellent customer service
by Sandy DHale Pua house is spacious and beautifully equipped. The location on the water offers glorious views and the sound of the sea throughout the day. Conveniently located close to town for doing quick errands and visiting the Farmer's Market. The staff at Elite provided excellent support for check in and check out plus checking in with us regularly during our stay. When we had difficulty figuring out a couple of kitchen appliances, Nick from Elite visited promptly to help get everything running efficiently. Excellent customer service.
This is a stellar vacation rental
by Terry PThis is a stellar vacation rental. The location can’t be beat, close to everything but once you close the gate you have total privacy. Well equipped for a multi-family vacation. Views that can’t be beat and even access for swimming just one house away. One of my favorite rentals of all time.
Our stay at Hale Pua was wonderful!
by Marlon and JakiOur stay at Hale Pua was wonderful! We enjoyed the house and amenities tremendously. The view and easy access to the water are truly unbeatable! The decorations and design were impeccably done too! We definitely want to return and bring lots of friends and family with us! Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home.=)
Great location!
by Judy NHale Pua was perfect for eight adults and two little ones. The proximity to town and to swimming/hiking areas was perfect. The property managers were very responsive and attentive. we will hopefully stay here again!
I couldn't think of a better place to stay!
by Pat SWe had 9 adults from 2 families for our kids' wedding! It was perfect! Everyone had their own space and the shared space was awesome! We all loved having coffee in the morning watching the surf and the sunsets were the best part of every day! The owners thoughtfully left everything needed including a bag of coffee for that first day! The kitchen space was perfect for making and serving meals for a crowd. We had a personal chef one day and he had everything he needed and it was great to have a large enough table for us all to sit and enjoy a perfect meal outside. We could not have enjoyed it more!
Everything was perfect. The place is very large and the location is great. Management was available but not intrusive. The pool was a good temperature in December. We couldn't get the kids out of it. I have absolutely no complaints.
AMAZING
by David HJust gorgeous!!
Room for all
by Ardis BWe had 11 family members on our trip. The house and grounds gave us space to gather and space to spread out. The house is excellently appointed. The property manager was quick to respond to the small problems. Great place.
Great rental! Strongly recommend, Kona’s hidden gem!!
by Reece AHad a group of 12 here. Have been coming to Kona for the last 30 years. This is the best rental we have ever stayed at!!
Oceanside Paradise-Hale Pua
by Quynh DOur family enjoyed this beautiful oceanfront home for a week and wished we had stayed longer! A clean, comfortable, well appointed home, conveniently located right on the Kona coast. Our family enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean, gorgeous sunsets and falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the surf. The kids enjoyed traversing the rocks below and explore the many sea creatures in the tide pools. The management (Nick) was prompt and attentive; accommodated a later check out which was really appreciated as we had a late flight out. We have stayed in multiple vacation homes and this is one we would definitely return to!
Amazing location!
