Overview

This unique three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom ranch home is a tranquil oasis nestled on a private road, offering you a peaceful and private Hawaiian vacation experience. Built from beautiful redwood and cedar, the home exudes a rich, earthy ambiance that perfectly complements its historic surroundings.

What we love about Hale Joli:

  • Historic Charm: Located on land that once belonged to King Lunalilo, the 6th monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii and grandnephew of King Kamehameha I, Hale Joli offers a rare opportunity to stay on royal grounds steeped in history.
  • Private and Peaceful Setting: Tucked away on a private road, the home offers complete privacy with the spirit of Aloha embracing you as soon as you arrive. The tranquil surroundings, including birdsong and a botanical garden setting, instantly transport you into a peaceful state.
  • Heated Infinity Pool: The heated infinity pool, complete with a sundeck, merges seamlessly with the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, creating a heavenly experience. It's the perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying breathtaking ocean views.
  • Tropical Grounds: The property features a stunning array of tropical plants, an orchard with over 30 newly planted fruit trees, and a mini coffee farm producing the world-famous Kona coffee.
  • Architectural Charm with a Unique Layout: Designed with a blend of Hawaiian openness and privacy in mind, Hale Joli features a rare architectural layout where all bedrooms are accessed via covered outdoor pathways—enhancing the connection to the lush tropical surroundings and creating a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere. Perfect for guests seeking a distinctive stay, this layout embraces indoor-outdoor living while maintaining privacy between the rooms. Two guest bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and all rooms open onto the lanai with breathtaking ocean views.

Enter Hale Joli via the long private driveway and step into the great room, an open-concept area that encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen spaces in a spacious A-frame design. The high ceilings, ceiling fans, and full-walled sliding doors allow natural light and refreshing trade winds to flow through the home, enhancing the serene atmosphere.

Relax in the living area on the comfortable couch or armchairs, and enjoy a night of entertainment on the large flatscreen television while marveling at the stellar seaside views beyond. The grand kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridge, making it a joy to prepare meals. The dining table seats up to eight guests, or you can take your meals outside to the picturesque deck, where you can dine poolside with seating for eight.

The outdoor spaces at Hale Joli are designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Spend your afternoons lounging by the infinity pool, grilling up a feast at the outdoor barbecue station, or playing games on the spacious deck. In the evening, gather around the festive fire pit to witness the breathtaking colors of the Hawaiian sunset and lounge in the Adirondack recliners as the stars light up the night sky.

For a peaceful start to your day, gather your yoga mats and enjoy a serene yoga session on the lanai as the sun rises, accompanied only by the melody of birdsong. Explore the lower lot via a set of stairs to discover numerous tropical fruit plants that have been added in 2024.

All bedrooms at Hale Joli are accessible via a covered pathway and feature sliding glass doors, ceiling fans, and high-vaulted ceilings for fresh airflow. Each bedroom offers incredible ocean views and access to the back lanai. The spacious primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed and a private ensuite with a large vanity and a shower/tub combo. The second guest bedroom also has a king bed and shares access to a bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The third guest bedroom is outfitted with two queen beds and shares access to the guest bathroom. An additional half-bath is available for guest use, along with a laundry room equipped with an in-unit washer and dryer.

For families with small children, a security fence can be set up around the pool area, providing peace of mind with an access gate and latch.

Located just 10 minutes from Kailua-Kona's downtown urban hub and 20 minutes from Kona Airport, Hale Joli offers convenient access to local attractions while providing a secluded retreat. At 1,000 feet of elevation, the home offers immaculate ocean views perfect for viewing the humpback whale migration from November through April.

Experience the tropical charm and historic significance of Hale Joli. Book your stay today and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind Hawaiian vacation, where modern luxury meets the timeless beauty of old Hawaii.
