Alii Hale Home
3BR 3BA
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Property Description
Alii Hale is the owners' beautiful, part-time residence, located on the
Big Island of Hawaii, midway between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou on Alii Drive.
It is not another "cookie cutter" vacation rental condo or house. Alii Hale
means Royalty House in Hawaiian, which the owners have adapted to mean a place
of outstanding comfort. Alii Hale was built to accommodate the owners' large
family and friends by allowing separate living spaces for different family members.
Alii Hale is a long and narrow house, so no bedrooms or living rooms share common
walls. One can have the television on in the living room and not hear it in the
bedrooms.
The owners take great pride in their home. When they cannot be in the land of Aloha,
they welcome others to enjoy Alii Hale. They regularly receive rave reviews from their
Alii Hale guests!
Across the street from Alii Hale is a small, secluded beach. It is accessible only by
foot. The beach is a wonderful place to soak up the warm Kona sunshine and view the
beautiful sunsets. The snorkeling is excellent. Sea turtles and many colorful fish
frequent the waters inside the rock reef, which shelter the small white sand beach.
This is a great "baby beach".
In addition to the beach, the owners chose to build Alii Hale in this location
because one can engage in so many Kona activities without driving more than 3 miles.
It is close to restaurants, shopping, many water sports, deep sea fishing, golfing,
parasailing, etc.
Features and Activities
In addition to tide-pooling, snorkeling and sunbathing at the little beach
across the street, there are many Kona activities with a 5 minute drive
from Alii Hale, such as: golf; deep sea fishing; snorkeling; swimming;
scuba diving; parasailing; bicycling; jogging; bowling; tennis; and other
sports. There are also many fine restaurants, delightful shops, and stadium
style cinemas.
Alii Gardens Market Place, which is an upscale type of farmers' market, is
approximately 2 blocks north on Alii Drive. It is fun to walk up the street
and purchases fresh fruit for breakfast.
It is amazing how much low cost entertainment is available to people who
enjoy nature. For example, there is an excellent fish reserve beach
approximately 3 miles to the south of Alii Hale. Even those who do not feel
comfortable wading in deeper than their knees can see many colorful fish, and
sometime, sea turtles. Bring your frozen peas! Approximately 2 miles to the
south of Alii Hale is a good beach for experienced boogie boarders and body
surfers. In the morning, walking to Kailua is a great way to start the day.
The ocean views, chirping birds and warm Kona sun make this a memorable
experience. In the Kona area there are good children's parks, historical sites,
and hotel grounds to visit. After dinner, the owners like to drive into Kailua,
wall along the sea wall in the tropical breezes and have a shave ice. Sometimes,
there is free entertainment at the Kona Village Inn Shopping Center. The free hula
show at the Keauhou Shopping center on Friday night is fun. Another favorite is
soaking in the Jacuzzi on the rooftop sundeck in the evening under the stars.
Alii Hale guests rave about how much they like Alii Hale and its location!
Alii Hale is also a good place to use as a headquarters for around the island site
seeing. The expensive Waikoloa area is approximately 30 miles to the north.
Riding the free boats at the Hilton and going to the beaches in this area are
definitely worthwhile expenditures of precious site seeing time. Waimea and
Parker Ranch are about 40 miles to the northeast. Waimea is ranching country at
its best. Hilo is on the other side of the island. Hilo is rainy, but has
fantastic flowers, gardens and a very small but extremely special zoo. Hilo is a
full day trip. The volcano is very educational. It too is a full day trip.
While there is so much to do in Kona and the on the Big Island, it is very easy to
become so relaxed at Alii Hale that all those activities just do not seem as important
as they were when you planned them!
