This absolute Ocean Front Home it is not situated on a sea cliff but is just a few feet above sea level on sheltered PaPa Bay. Because of this lots unique topography and elevation you are just above the water line and a few steps from walking to the water. Additionally a minute walk away is a public access point in the Bay which the neighbourhood uses to safely go into the water. Please refer to our pictures for a better appreciation of our location on the Ocean. Aside from the superb ocean location and access this house affords, it is a fairly new concrete home designed to meet and surpass all the latest safety and building codes. It is a 2 Bedroom home with the Master Bedroom having an oversized King sized California Bed. This room has a 12 foot wide glass sliding door directly facing the Ocean. The second bedroom has a queen bed. This 2nd bedroom room has a large 6 foot by 4 foot window for views of the Ocean also. In addition it has another 6 foot x 2 foot window for mountain views. The house has 7 separate sliding glass doors which capitalize on it's stunning ocean views. Appliances are all brand new.. The cabinets in the kitchen were custom designed and built for the home. Finally the best way to describe our home is to simply let our previous guests who have stayed there do it for us. It has been almost 7 years since we built the home brand new and have we have been renting it. We have had numerous guests over the years and everyone so far has been very happy with the home and our communications and tips that we give them. This has made Mindy and I very happy knowing that when we set out on building our dream to make a perfect vacation home , it has been realized based due to the happiness and satisfaction of our past guests.
The vacation home features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We were welcomed to the big island during a record breaking Kona low storm. Dan was in communication regularly to be sure we were ok and brought extra towels. We had a great trip and the house was fantastic.

Incredible stay! Right on the water. Was able to listen to the waves all night long with the doors open while feeling completely safe. Dan was so kind and informative. He was even willing to help with car problems at 6am so that I could make my flight. The location is perfect if you want a quiet spot away from all the tourist traps while staying in a friendly, safe, and welcoming community. Will be my go to spot when I come back.

Choosing this house to stay was by far the best decision we made for our Hawaii vacation. The host was so nice and gave the most thorough information and advise on visiting his home and the surrounding areas. The home itself was so nice, it was very open with high ceilings and 6 sliding doors that allowed the smell and sounds of the ocean move through the spaces. The poured floor that goes through the whole house is breathtaking. Being right beside the ocean was exactly what we needed to relax. We spent mutiple days hanging at the house and visiting the local beaches/tidepools just down the road. We ended up having the beach areas all to ourselves. I highly recommend this home and the host to anyone who is looking for a unique and memorable Hawaiian adventure.

No shops nearby, but the peacefulness of the area was wonderful. Had to drive a bit to get to places but then the island is big and you do have to drive more. Saw areas i had never seen before and the beautiful overlooks from Kona Joes and another coffee shop were breathtaking.This house was on the ocean and we had beautiful sunsets every night, so peaceful sitting there by the ocean with the waves, I loved it.Thank you for sharing your home!
