Dolphin House | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath

This show stopping home in Keauhou Estates features massive views from nearly every room. Upon entering the home, the entry boasts a grand water feature created by famed marine artist Dale J. Evers, showcasing life sized bronze dolphins. Step down into the great room featuring a wet bar and overlooking the swimming pool and spa to enjoy the panoramic views that span from Keauhou Bay all the way north past Kona Town. This fine home features over 4,000 square feet of open floor plan living space, great for entertaining inside and out. The huge master suite offers plenty of room for an exercise or yoga area, or even a den. Two guest suites on the opposite side of the home provide privacy for all. Some of features of this great home include: Soaring ceilings throughout highlighted by accent lighting and a cupola with clerestory windows to take advantage of the cooling trade winds. A large lanai with an infinity edge lap pool and heated spa provide the ideal vantage point for spectacular sunset views. Stunning polished fossilized Portuguese limestone floors throughout main indoor and outdoor living areas. Gourmet kitchen with sleek cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room to cook. Adjoining family room with wrap around windows to take advantage of the incredible views.

*This home has been upgraded with a Central AC system. Due to the high electricity costs in Hawaii, a fee will automatically be added to your stay for Air Conditioning. Please keep all windows closed while the AC is on.*

While we love children, this home's unique water features aren't conducive to small kids. There are multiple water features, some indoors, that are not childproof. There are doors that open directly to waterfalls and coy ponds without railings. And the pool and hot tub are accessed directly from the living room. Finally, there is a drop-off from the back of the swimming pool adding to the beautiful melding of the pool and the ocean directly below. If you want to bring children, a waiver will be required, and we recommend children be at least 12 or older.

A picture ID and photo of credit card are required for all bookings. Bookings nearby may be subject to additional verification to avoid any parties or gatherings.

House Rules
1. No parties allowed. There is a noise meter at the home. Any noise alerts, after the first, will result in a $250 fine per occurrence. Any noise complaints from neighbors or the gate guards will result in a $1000 fine. If the police are called to the home for any reason, there is a $2000-$10000 fine, and you will be required to vacate the home immediately. In this case, you will forfeit the entire cost of your stay and incur the additional $2000-$10000 fine on top of that.
2. Only paying guests on the reservation will be allowed inside Keahou Estates. No children are allowed unless a liability waiver is signed prior to arrival.
3. The Gate Guards will deny access to anyone not listed on the reservation and who has not provided an ID in advance. Any gatherings or meetups need to take place outside of the complex.
4. All guests in the party must wear masks when checking in at the Keahou Estates gate.
5. A maximum of 2 cars will be allowed inside the complex.

By renting this home, you agree to all house rules and agree to pay all fines that may be assessed.

Please note that there is a ring doorbell that records video at the entry to the home. There is also a noise monitor installed at the home.

No parties are allowed at the home, and there are noise restrictions for the area. This is a nice neighborhood, with several full-time residents. We ask that you please respect your neighbors and refrain from loud music or loud get-togethers on the pool deck. Noise ordinances start at 9 PM each night and are strictly enforced by the on-site security and the police. Any noise complaints will result in a $1000 fine per report. The noise monitor will alert you if you exceed the noise limits at any time. A second alert will result in a $250 fine. Each subsequent noise alert will result in an additional $250 fine. Any tampering with the noise monitor will result in a $1000 fine.

Due to noise concerns, the built-in sound system at the home has been disabled, and may not be used by guests.

Because the home is mostly open to the outside at all times, we are unable to accommodate smokers. No smoking is allowed in the home, on the patios or lanais, in or around the garage, or on the lot itself. Smokers must be at least 250 ft from the home, completely off the property, and in the common area of the complex. This includes e-cigarettes and any product that produces smoke or vapor. There will be a $500 fine if the home smells of smoke or vapor on departure and if any cigarette butts or smoking paraphernalia are found on departure.

Cancellation Policy: A cancellation more than 30 days prior to arrival will result in a cancellation fee equal to our credit card processing fee of 3%. Any cancellation less than 30 days prior to arrival will result in a 100% penalty. If booking through a 3rd party vendor (Airbnb, VRBO) we will honor the cancellation policy on those sites.

The property was beautiful but unfortunately it was not clean. This is high season and I know the house was getting turned over quickly, but too many things were off not to mention in review. Great location. Beautiful house.
