KBM oceanfront vacation rentals on the Big Island sit along the Kohala Coast — Hawaii's driest shoreline — where the Pacific meets dramatic lava fields at world-class resort beaches including Mauna Lani's Pauoa Beach and Waikoloa's Anaeho'omalu Bay. Humpback whales are visible from Kohala Coast lanais from November through April. All KBM Big Island stays include dedicated concierge service and a complimentary rental car on 6+ night bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Oceanfront means the property sits directly on the shoreline with the ocean immediately accessible from the property — typically with private beach access or steps directly to the sand or water from your lanai or deck. Ocean view properties may be set back from the water with views from windows or a balcony but require a walk to the beach. At KBM properties like Honua Kai Hokulani in Kaanapali and the Wailea Beach Villas, oceanfront units are in the buildings closest to the water, often with just the beach path between your lanai and the sand. Both designations are accurate on the KBM website. If being steps from the water is non-negotiable, filter specifically for oceanfront and confirm with KBM concierge which floor and unit placement delivers the most direct ocean access.
