Kona Blue at Holua Kai: Luxurious Home w/ Private Pool, Spa, AC & Stunning Views
Kona Blue Vacations Holua Kai is a refined single-level retreat tucked within the private gates of Holua Kai in Kailua-Kona, perched along the manicured fairways of Kona Country Club. Blending island warmth with resort-inspired comfort, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a private heated pool & spa, high-end finishes, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow—just minutes from Keauhou Bay and Big Island adventures.
What You’ll Love About Kona Blue Vacations Holua Kai * Private heated pool & spa framed by lush gardens and golf course vistas * Chef’s kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, & central island * Fully stocked adventure gear—kayaks, paddleboards, surfboard, snorkel sets * Central A/C, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtfully curated coastal décor * Close to Keauhou Bay, pristine beaches, shopping, dining, & boat tours
Living & Dining The open-concept great room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, soft neutral tones, and comfortable seating that invites conversation and relaxation.

A formal dining area seats six for shared meals, while the lanai’s dining table is perfect for sunset BBQs under the stars.
Chef-Ready Kitchen Polished granite surfaces, rich wood cabinetry, and top-tier stainless steel appliances make cooking a pleasure. The large island doubles as a breakfast bar, perfect for morning Kona coffee or chatting with the chef as dinner sizzles.
Outdoor Oasis Your private pool & spa are framed by swaying palms, vibrant tropical plantings, and golf course greens beyond. Loungers offer a sunny perch, while the shaded lanai provides cushioned seating for lazy afternoons. A private BBQ grill completes the alfresco experience.

We walked in and were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the house. All of the furnishes were beautiful and we loved the pool and large lanai. We had wonderfully chill mornings swimming in the pool and relaxing on the Lanai. The hot tub was so relaxing and nice after a full day of activities.
Many Mahalos for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your beautiful home as we visited and enjoyed time with our families. We appreciate all of the amenities and are thankful the Elite office staff were available when we had a question!
Take care and again many Mahalos!
A very clean and pretty property. It's in close proximity to many excursions, a downtown shopping area with restaurants and a golf course. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need including a coffee maker that takes pods or beans.Pool is heated and hot tub attached so temperature is always rightAny inquiries were always responded to in a timely manner and all of ours were answered or requests were granted. Super flexible! Easy check in. Great place to stay, would come back for sure
We loved our stay. The home was wonderful and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. There were plenty of towels and beach equipment. We hope to stay again!
There was a total of 6 adults. The entire home was extremely clean, beautiful inside and out and even came with snorkeling gear, bikes etc. We had everything we needed. We stayed 8 days total. Would definitely rent from this company again. The pool is perfect.
Excellent stay accommodations were perfect. Just like the photos. The appliances state of the art! I love this home. Every detail is carefully thought out. Enjoyed watching the wild goats cross the golf course. The resident gecko was hanging out. Grandkids had a blast stepping out onto the covered patio area to swim in the pool! I enjoyed the spa after long days of exploring Kona and Hapuna beach and other beautiful places. If more air was needed we just flipped on the overhead outside fan. AC was greatly appreciated! Everything was clean and immaculate. Will be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home a wonderful 8 days of heavenly memories.
We really enjoyed our stay in this immaculately clean and comfortable home! The wall of sliding doors opened up onto the lanai and pool area with a lovely view of the mountains (and goats on the golf course!). There were lots of handy items in the garage like chairs, coolers and water gear for our days out, and they had several guidebooks for the island. Communication with the property manager was easy and timely. When we forgot an item while packing up, they found it and forwarded to us promptly--much appreciated! All in all, a wonderful stay at a lovely home. Thank you!
We had a very nice and comfortable stay here. The house itself was clean and ready for us and had all the amenities we could've wanted. It's also extremely close to the location of some recreational boating/snorkeling tours, which we took advantage of.
However there were some issues with the pool. The auto-vacuum had been pulled out prior to our arrival and there was what looked like plastic debris in both the pool and hot tub. I was able to contact the property manager, who had the pool folks out the next day. They were able to clean up maybe 75% of the debris aside from what I was able to do myself by reinserting the auto-vacuum and directing it towards problem spots.
This is a great property and I'd probably stay here again, however for the cost of the stay I would expect the pool to be clean and ready on check-in.
Aloha!
We had such a magical time at your vacation rental property! Thank you so much.
Everything worked well. We loved the hot tub and the pool. And the view out to the water was so expansive looking over the golf course that we felt very private. It was quiet. We so appreciated all the equipment in the garage. And we loved walking down to the hotel and bay for lunch and viewing the waves crashing on the shore. The shopping center was so close by and the surfing and snorkeling beaches were so convenient. The location is perfect for traveling all over the island. We went north to turtle beach and then over the island to the tropical side. The drives were easy and well marked. We even went down to green beach so easily.
We loved all the channels on the TV and the wifi worked well.
Sitting outside and watching the stars was such a treat because of the dark skies. And watching the sunrise was heavenly.
Thank you again for such a lovely home!
Mahalo!

Great rental house in a gated community just south of Kona. Beautiful new house with a well-appointed kitchen. We loved the lanai, pool, and hot tub. Also it was great to be able to use some of the things in the garage (folding chairs, beach umbrellas, snorkels) at the nearby beaches!
Dear Elite Pacific Vacations
I need to write a short note about this amazing house I rented recently.
I brought back awesome memories of my vacation, the design features included the beautiful pool overlooking to a golf course, with a surprise ocean view peered out the turquoise blue Pacific, while I was unpacking I saw in the garage bikes, kayaks,surfboards , also this house is surprisingly at walking🚶♀️or bike 🏍 distance to Keauhou Bay , where you can snorkel with mantas gliding around
you, swim 🏊♀️ out into the 🌊 waves , nice breeze coming through the house , close to shopping center and restaurants, tiny cafes with delicious foods , this house has a fully stocked kitchen will satisfy any person or a chef 👩🍳 that likes to cook, made this house perfect for a family with children, or single like me ....
Thanks,
Carmen Letamendi
