About this property

Dolphin House beachfront estate

STVR 19-363225 - NUC 19-1616

Picture yourself vacationing in this magnificent and upscale 6,000 square foot oceanfront home. The stunning house is comprised of 4 bedrooms and 4½ baths with a variety of features including an atrium entry with cathedral ceilings, skylights, a large living room, delightful family room, convenient indoor and outdoor dining, and a game room with a fully equipped bar. You will enjoy a spacious, open floor plan, with all but the master bedroom on one single level. Benefit from the heated swimming pool with a beautiful waterfall.

Only steps away from a private sandy beach, the short stroll along the oceanfront leads you to a reef-protected beach cove lagoon which is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and playing in the sand. Abundant tide pools dot the lava rock shelf fronting the homes in the area. Beach chairs are provided for your leisure. Enjoy the turtles, dolphins, and whales!

The splendid property is located in the prestigious, gated and 24-hour security-guarded community in Kailua-Kona, situated directly facing the deep sapphire blue waters of Kona Bay. You can walk to the tennis courts or into Kailua-Kona for entertainment, dining, and shopping. Just a few minutes’ drive to the south are the world-famous Kona coffee plantations, snorkeling bays of Keahou and Kealakekua, and historic sites including the City of Refuge and the Captain Cook Monument. There are several golf courses, play fields, movie theaters, and other recreations in Kailua-Kona within a few minutes’ drive. The sandy swimming beaches and resort areas of Hualalai, Waikoloa, Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea are an easy 20-45 minute drive up the Kohala coast.

Indulge yourself in this magnificent private retreat for that special get-away, small family gathering, entertaining, or just plain relaxing.

Multi-generational Family Vacation
This home is beautiful and wonderful for a multigenerational vacation! Nine of us from 67yo to 4 yo stayed for a week here and the home is set up beautifully for us. The layout allowed for nice privacy with separate bedroom/bath areas for folks. The main space downstairs has a wide view to the shore and large bank of windowed slider doors that opens to a wonderful long table on the patio where we ate all our meals. The small but very adequate pool was used alot. This home had a very well supplied kitchen and was a core piece to a very fun vacation for us all. We even saw whales several times from the patio. The property manager and owner reached out with helpful vacation planning resources ahead of time and made themselves available if needed during our stay. I would love to go back!

Amazing week in the Dolphin House
Celebrated our 25 th wedding anniversary with our family, in the Dolphin House. Renewed our vows on the patio with the ocean in the background. The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults and three grands under 6. We were in the pool and at the huge patio table each night for dinner together. The study was perfect for playing cards while still being near the rest of the family and everyone had a quiet space to retreat when a nap was in order. The neighborhood was gorgeous and, both the beach nearby and the rocks in front of the property were great places to explore. Air conditioning was a MUST and the main areas of the home are not air conditioned which was a little uncomfortable so we spent a lot of time in the pool. There are also bars and coffee shops within walking distance and could even walk to town just over a mile. Saw dolphins and a cruise ship right from the patio and the sunsets were amazing! All in all it was a perfect week spent in this beautiful home.

Perfect family retreat in Kona
The dolphin house made our family trip. It is perfect and was great for all ages. There’s too many amazing things about the house to fit in one review. The pool was a great temperature, the outdoor table was massive, and watching the sunset while the waves crashed on the lava rocks was unreal! The house is well stocked and Michelle was so responsive and resolved our only issue in ~15min. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Thank you Michelle and Greg! We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Magical place
Gorgeous house has everything you need — spectacular views, cathedral ceilings, comfortable beds, fully loaded kitchen with everything, lots of space for being together or having some privacy, lovely pool, awesome grill — great accommodations. Michelle was super responsive and thoughtful. Ordered groceries ahead of time and had them delivered — really a treat and a way to start the vacation in a relaxing way. Thanks to Karina! Can’t wait to come back!

Kona Paradise
We had a wonderful 8 day stay at the Dolphin House! The view was beautiful and we spent every evening watching the sunset from the pool or the lanai. Dinners for our group of 9 were perfect at the outdoor table. Kitchen was well appointed. Loved the separate bar with ice maker. All bedrooms were very nice and we appreciated that they all have en-suite bathrooms. The master suite upstairs was pure luxury with a beautiful view. Can’t beat listening to the waves at night. If we weren’t out snorkeling and sightseeing we were outside on the large lanai and in the pool. If the occasion presents itself we will be back. Mahalo!
