In the heart of Kailua-Kona, perched along the dramatic coastline, lies a hidden treasure—Kona Onenalo #1, an exclusive oceanfront villa that embodies the essence of island luxury. We call it “Ocean’s Embrace” for obvious reasons—every inch of this stunning residence is designed to immerse you in the breathtaking beauty and rhythm of the Pacific.
A Private Oceanfront Sanctuary
Nestled within the gated enclave of Kona Onenalo, this detached 3-bedroom, 3-bath villa is one of just twelve privileged residences. Unlike traditional condos, this stand-alone retreat grants the privacy and space of a single-family home, all while preserving the ease of resort condo style living.
From the moment you enter, oversized lanai doors frame breathtaking ocean views, drawing your gaze straight to the horizon. The home’s open-concept design, rich hardwood floors, and vaulted wood-beamed ceilings create a warm yet sophisticated ambiance. Two oceanfront lanais with expansive views invite you to dine under the stars, sip your morning coffee with the sound of rhythmical waves, or simply revel in the front-row seats to nature’s ever-changing masterpiece—from golden sunsets to breaching whales in the distance.
It’s no wonder the current owners list the expansive ocean views, the use of rare Koa wood in the kitchen cabinets and stair rails, and the vaulted wood ceilings among their favorite features—each element reflecting the authentic Hawaiian character of the home.

The community also boasts a private pool and spa, offering another serene spot to soak up the Hawaiian sun. Sandy Magic Sands Beach is just a short stroll away, and the vibrant town of Kailua-Kona is only minutes beyond, with its renowned restaurants, shopping, and world-class island excursions.
