Welcome to Hawaiian Elegance!  

From sunrise to sunset, beautiful views surround this exquisite five en-suite bedroom estate in the prestigious Kauna’oa gated community in the heart of the Mauna Kea resort.  Hawaiian Elegance is a brand new home just completed in March 2024 and beautifully decorated by a famous Hawaiian interior decorator.  
It is situated on a private one acre lot providing 4,620 square feet of single level living space making it ideal for families wanting privacy, space and proximity to the beaches and ocean.  With only 44 homes in the exclusive Kauna’oa gated community it is always uncrowded. 
Kauna'oa features beautiful luxury estate homes nearing completion.  In 2026 there may from time to time be construction activity in the lot next door.  
Mature landscaping provides privacy along the side.  While we take every precaution to avoid and inconvenience, any activity is beyond our control.

Ideally situated in the heart of Mauna Kea Resort near the ocean, between the Big Island’s best two beaches, it is an easy ten minute walk to either Mauna Kea Beach or Hapuna Beach.  Hapuna Beach was recently voted the #1 Beach in the USA while many consider Mauna Kea beach as one of the best beaches in the world.  
Each beach has a world-class hotel with amenities including seven restaurants, oceanfront tennis & pickleball courts and two golf courses.
