Luxury Beachfront Home w/ Pool, Spa, AC & Stunning Sunset Views at Mermaid Cove

If laid-back luxury is what you crave, Mermaid Cove by Gather has it all. Enjoy some of the best ocean views on the island from the spacious, fully furnished living room. Throw open the giant pocket doors and take in the fresh ocean air while relaxing on the sofa with your partner. Stroll outside to the furnished lanai, the perfect place to listen to birds sing and watch the cruise ships dock.

When you're ready for a great meal, the spacious gourmet kitchen is furnished with everything you need to whip up your favorite dish, including high-end finishes and state-of-the-art Bosch appliances. Enjoy a cup of Kona coffee as you watch the sunrise from the spectacular ocean-view eat-in area. Just off the kitchen, a large dining area offers enough space for all of your guests and is an ideal space for a tropical dinner party.

Mermaid Cove has four bedrooms (one on the ground floor and two on the second floor) each one furnished with plush bedding, flat-screen TVs, and en suite bathrooms. The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite where you'll enjoy a posh king-size bed, a private lanai, and stunning ocean views. Watch the sunset from your balcony and when you're ready for bed, leave the doors open and listen to the sounds of the waves as you drift off to sleep. Furnished with fluffy cotton towels, a double-slipper clawfoot tub, and a steam shower for two, the spacious primary bath provides a spa-like experience you'll never forget.

Grab your friends and watch a movie in the home theater on the 80-inch Smart TV. Choose from a collection of Blu-ray videos or press the Netflix button on the remote for even more choices. For book lovers, Mermaid Cove has a well-stocked library.

If you need to work while you're away, the expansive ocean-view corner office is the ideal place to keep up with your projects. Wifi and high-speed internet provide convenience.

Outdoors at Mermaid Cove, fun and excitement await you. From the beautiful sandy beach, eight-person Jacuzzi, and expansive swimming pool that flows underneath the lanai, you'll never be at a loss for something to do. No need to pack and go to the beach—you're already there! Enjoy a relaxing morning on the beachfront lounge chairs. Take a dip in the ocean, then wash off the salt and sand in the refreshing heated outdoor shower. Fix a tasty lunch in our covered outdoor barbecue kitchen and serve it to your friends from the swim-up bar.

This gorgeous home is secluded in a 24-hour guarded and gated oceanfront community with keypad entry just a short walk to the classic Hawaiian town of Kailua. Watch the cruise ships from the Kailua-Kona Pier, where you'll have access to Hawaii's best scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Visit the famous farmers market. Enjoy shaved ice or a cup of Kona coffee. Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, go for a swim, or hang out at the beach. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October) and a great place to watch the sunset. Everything you want and need is readily available in the heart of Kailua-Kona town.

You'll love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is a reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.

Mermaid Cove is one of only a few properties with beachfront access. It's conveniently located, and a great home base to explore the many wonders of the Big Island including Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea Observatory, coffee and macadamia nut farms, artist communities, and more!

*This property features A/C in all the bedrooms as well as the media room. The living room, dining room, and kitchen areas are not air-conditioned but they feature excellent ventilation*

Absolutely Perfect!
This house was absolutely perfect. We had the best time with our family and friends. I was looking for a house on the beach where we could feel the breeze and listen to the waves crashing on the shore and it didn't disappoint. The beautiful house is situated on the best part of Keiki Beach with nothing short of a phenomenal view. It was very comfortable, clean and tidy. Everything was meticulously labelled and easily to use. The downstairs lanai with pool and hot tub was a favorite hangout for the kids and adults alike although the upstairs lanai was also very lovely. There were tons of pool and beach toys available to use as well as plenty of games and fun dress up outfits the kids loved. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into making it family friendly. This was a top-notch place to stay, and we would do it again in an instant.

Family getaway
This home did not disappoint. We are a family of 5 and my mother came with. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, high school graduation, 8th grade graduation and celebrating health. Our 3 children joined us, 18,16, and 14. My mother joined us too.The location was wonderful. Snorkeling right out front. A short drive to Kona for shopping and food. 20 minutes to the airport. Costco, Walmart and a new Safeway very close to the house. A few restaurants within walking distance, maybe 10-15 minutes. Plenty of space to stretch out. We spent most nights on the lanai talking. Meals at the big dining table. The pool area was nice, there is a public walkway right next to the house, which I was not aware of. It was fine, just more traffic than expected. There is a wall that helps with privacy. Maybe a little more greenery on that wall would need nice. Plenty of pool toys, especially for small children. The kitchen was stocked! There were starter supplies-water, dish detergent and clothing detergent. Small shampoo and conditioners, but I would bring shampoo/conditioner, and body soap. Small beach out front, usually filled up with other beachgoers. Woke up one morning to a large cruise ship, was there for only about 12 hours, can hear the engine, but we just played music in background. The sound system did not work, which was disappointing. The hammock was broke upon our arrival, but was replaced within a day. Not sure if the pool was cleaned. Amazing house, highly recommend.

Expansive and family friendly property. Lots of communication and direction. Only issues were 10am check out, some dust on fans (beware the dust allergy sensitive types) and termites, and cushions in need of replacement. Generally, a very good stay. Beach front perfection with crashing waves, and good views. Kona!

The house sits on an amazing small private beach that has a protected reef. The kids enjoyed snorkeling all day and as parents we really didn’t have to worry about waves, etc. The house has plenty of rooms and space for a large family. Also, the house has more the of small niceties such as utensils, spices, plates, etc… than numerous other vacation rentals we have stayed at.

Our stay was amazing! The house lives up to the photos. Our younger children loved in the pool, while the teenagers enjoyed the beach right out front. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony watching the waves crash, fish as well as a sea turtle in the tide pool, humpback wales breaching and cocktails with the sunset at night. There was plenty of space for our family of 11. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! 🌺

Dream Location
We spent a week in Mermaid Cove and leaving was so hard! The views out every back window/door are just jaw dropping. The waves sound like they’re in the house, and the sliding doors that open the living room up to the lanai make it seem as if you’re on the beach at all times. Being able to walk out the back door and take a few steps to reach the beach and Keiki Ponds absolutely MADE our vacation. Easily the best place to stay in Kona! Pros: *LOCATION!!!! The protected cove out back is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, even boogie boarding. We saw a sea turtle, many fish, and a moray eel. *Well equipped kitchen *Air conditioning in the bedrooms and relaxation spaces (unnecessary in the living room and kitchen with the breeze off the ocean) *Pool is private and the rental has tons of pool and beach gear available *Close to town but felt very private and protected due to it being in a gated community *Fun spaces and plenty of toys and such for young children (not part of our group but would have been awesome with little ones) Cons: *No powder room/guest bathroom which made it a bit challenging while hanging out on main floor; all bathrooms are only accessible through the associated bedrooms *On high tide days (we had several during our trip), the sea water/beach sand floods the entire backyard, rendering the patio and pool completely unusable (although management had someone out the next day to clean out the sand from the pool) *Master bathroom shower has an unfrosted window with no covering that looks directly into the neighbor’s house and pool area This house was the ideal setting for our family vacation and we could not have been happier with the proximity to the ocean. Our son even proposed to his girlfriend just a ways down the beach! We already miss going to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the lava rocks and waking up to the incredible view. Wonderful memories we will always treasure!

Never wanted to leave.
OMG!!! Such an amazing home. Had it been for sale, I would have purchased it and my kids would be coming there to visit me! This home had absolutely EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you could imagine. Only problem we had was, it was so beautiful, nobody wanted to leave it to go explore! We traveled a long way from West Virginia to stay in the pool! We did go whale watching…shouldn’t have…we saw so many more just watching from the lanai! So many wonderful memories made there. My 4 year old granddaughter cried when we left and asks daily when we are going back to “our” Hawaii house. That’s how much it felt like home to us. We tried for fun to think of something they didn’t have there for their guests…the only thing we could come up with was parkas for our trip up Mauna Kea! This company could give lessons on how to set up a rental home…I can’t imagine anyone doing it better. So grateful for our time spent there.

Great accommodations and excellent location
The house worked out perfectly for our family of 8. It is extremely well equipped with everything from beach toys to chairs, umbrellas, etc. the kitchen has everything as well. It’s kinda funny but very helpful that someone went crazy with a label maker identifying everything from dishes in each cabinet to light switches. The only thing I’d say is the decorations and furniture are a bit dated and the house has clearly been a high volume rental showing quite a bit of wear and tear. However, having the beach out your front door and close proximity to town really couldn’t be beat.

Incredible resort
This home was incredible. I would love to come here every year. They have every single thing you could need, from floaties, water shoes, toys for kids (like I'm talking insane numbers of things, including dress up, legos, new sea creature & mermaid stuffed animals, books, etc.). The location was so wonderful that we didn't really need to leave all that much, as the tide pools had a lot for us to see and explore and we were very close to food (~5 minutes for all the best restaurants). The pool had great shade for the little ones so it wasn't your typical situation of having to get the kids out of the sun for a few hours on vacation. I do think the outside patio chairs need a good cleaning or replacing, however, though this is a minor point. A much more major point of sadness is we only had 6 days here. TRUE REMORSE. We will absolutely be back!

Perfect for working holiday, family moments, and quiet time
Nick & the folks as Elite properties were super helpful! Iʻve been renting vacation homes every year for 20 years for our large family get aways...this home & our neighbor were by far the most local friendly. I mean itʻs a big deal when a caravan of locals born, raised, and living on this island for more than 25 generations can pull up into what is now a gated community for a vacation well earned and truly feel WELCOMED! The kaheka or tidepools are marvelous, still teaming with wonderful creatures...the fishing (if youʻre experienced) is awesome. We ate fish for 2-nights just from the resources in this area. Pool was the main attraction for the 3-grandchildren and the big 30-something year oldʻs. The upstairs childrenʻs room right off the main suite is well supplied with quality books, toys and DRESS UP supplies. And the Media room is super comfy. Several of us still had Zoom classes, work, and studying to do--wi-fi was great and the home is spacious enough so that we all had our own study space...although being in the pool or out in the water was a distraction. We pre-arranged a day pass for my mom to come visit during the day. Perfect! Would totally come back!!
