Hale Joli: Historic Typical Hawaiian Home w/Ocean Views, Lanai & BBQ Area
Welcome to Hale Joli by Gather, a serene retreat that captures the essence of old Hawaii while providing all the modern amenities you desire. 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.
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.

Beautiful location and home.
Beautiful location and home. Use Google maps as we found Apple Maps isn’t as great in Hawaii. We swam in the pool day and night, enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the deck. Grilled and cooked many home made meals and generally, just relaxed in this serene environment. Quiet at night - frogs, etc. can be heard - but little traffic or neighbor noise. Plenty of room for a family to spread out. Also, loved watching movies in the cozy sitting area. Overall this is an upscale location with lots of amenities. Walking around the neighborhood and property we also found lots of fruit, vegetables and scenery. Love that they have beach gear for use, plastic wear for the kids and bathtubs as well as showers. Beach and pool towels available and an absolute must was the onsite washer and dryer. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Stay
This property was amazing! Understated elegance is how I would describe this property. We felt transported to a different place…and it was magical! Bedroom doors are accessed from the outdoors, which may be an issue for younger visitors, but was fine for our family! Close to town, yet feels remote and perfect. We will be back!
