An exceptionally quiet and peaceful place to stay away.

If you're looking for a quiet place to stay outside of all the touristy "hubbub" then this is definitely the place to stay. Very quiet neighborhood with friendly next door neighbors. It is a bit of a drive from the main shopping centers so our first stop was COSTCO to load up on groceries at the best price. We spent most of our time visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and local beaches. We felt this vacation home was perfectly placed with those destinations in mind. The owners have truly gone above and beyond with providing so many extras you would not typically have with other rental properties. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with every cooking appliance you can think of which our family appreciated. There were also boogie boards, various sizes of snorkel gear and fold up lawn chairs that have shoulder straps...perfect for carrying down to the beaches. We enjoyed the amazing ocean views every morning drinking our coffee and found ourselves hurrying back home every evening to catch the sunsets. My only caution is if you are renting a car....don't try parking at the top of the driveway or you will likely drag bottom like we did. Instead park at the bottom by the water tank. There is plenty of room there and it is just a few steps to the front door. If you rent a Jeep then go ahead and park at the top. Our thanks to the owners of this cute little home for sharing it with our family!

Definitely “A Little Peace of Heaven”!

Our stay was magical! The lanai overlooking the beautiful property and ocean view was spectacular. Snorkeling at the neighborhood black sand beach was not very crowded and so peaceful. We were 45 minutes from Kailua-Kona but totally worth the scenic drive. We’ve already recommended this property to friends who asked for booking details!

This was one of the cutest, most comfortable homes we have ever rented. It was thoughtfully stocked with every thing you could possibly need. The Lanai has the most beautiful view. We have been coming to Kona Paradise for about 15 years and this was one of our most enjoyable stays.

Truly Paradise

Tropical paradise with an ocean view! We love this home, the deck with view of the ocean was amazing. The inside of the house was adorable and comfortable and there were personal touches that made it feel like someone really thought about what guest would need. The driveway is very steep and narrow, but you can always park at the bottom and walk up. The plants and palms surrounding the home are gorgeous. The walk down to the ocean (another very steep hill) was intoxicating with the scent of plumeria. The black pebble beach is really nice for swimming if the surf is small. I miss the chirping of the tree frogs at night!

Gorgeous and Amazing House/Location!

Title really says it all! It was a gorgeous home with absolutely amazing views! We had a great experience working with the property owner and even had great interactions with those we met in the neighborhood. Only recommendation for those coming to stay is if you get a rental car get something that doesn't sit to low as the drive is indeed very steep but worth the views.

Lovely property with an incredible sunset view. Great communication and super amenities. Lots of added extras to make your stay even more special. Don’t be put off by the mention of steep hills. Easily negotiated with any vehicle in low gear. I parked by the water tank only 20 yards from the front door. Don’t miss out on this fantastic quiet place.

Awesome View!

The home was very clean. The owner was easy to work with. The view was awesome. We spent most of our time on the lanai. Tons of Geckos and nice landscaping. The home could use air conditioning. There were a few days that were pretty uncomfortable as it was too warm in the house. The driveway is SUPER steep. The home is about 45-50 mins from Kona. It is a bit of drive, but we didn't mind it. If the house had air conditioning, I would definitely stay here again.

Getaway

Overall my husband and I really liked this “little piece of paradise” the only draw backs were; it’s a VERY steep grade to get here. We of course had a rental jeep and we could not figure out how to shift into lower gears… Also no walking down to the local black pebble beach, like I said it’s very very steep. I really enjoyed sitting out on the lanai at sunset, the best views! But I also felt very exposed to the neighbor on the one side as I know he was out on his lanai and could see right down onto where we were… also the mosquitoes were very bad. I appreciated the citronella candles and torches I believe they helped a bit but in the end we had to spray ourselves down with repellent. This property is a great place to stay and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The binder with ideas on places to visit and how to get there worked out great!

Off the beaten path and worth it!

Property was wonderful, comfortable and the views are top-notch! Terri, the host, was a breeze to deal with and very communicative. We were used to the steep hills up and down to the house from years on the USVI, so no problems there. The neighbors are very nice and the area safe and quiet. I would stay here again and again for the sunsets alone. If you book, you will not be disappointed. Mahalo!

Perfect location for us!

We loved the neighborhood and location in south Kona. We come from a small town near San Francisco so we adapted well to the long drives away from the towns and the steep roads were pretty similar to ones we’re used to. Our first day there we witnessed a mother and baby whale frolicking close to shore on Pebbles Beach. It rained hard the next day and we were content to stay at home, listening to the Hawaiian music and watching the ocean from the lanai. We tried to hit up all of the road stands around the area-avocados, shaved ice, baked goods, freshly caught fish and an abundance of fruit. The farmers markets are fun too, lots of local foods and crafts and friendly people. For snorkeling or sunny beach days we drove north, Pebbles Beach was way too scary to attempt though we did see people in the water. Every evening we made it home to enjoy the amazing sunset on the lanai. Mosquito repellent was provided, sometimes they were worst than others depending on the rain. It was fun to hear the abundance of birds in the day switch to the call of the croquites at sundown. The smart tv was nice to have. There were lots of dvds too but we weren’t sure how to use the dvd player/remote. Everything in the kitchen was well stocked, I love to cook and there was nothing lacking to cook big dinners. Lots of games, puzzles, music, books and beach gear for us to use. We felt very well taken care of by Terri Lin, she was always a text away and made sure we had what we needed. The one thing I would recommend would be to update the house binder with more up to date info, and not sure about recommending the local beach, Pebbles Beach as a swim spot, especially for kids. There are lots of safer swim areas not too far away. The house is close to the neighbors, which we actually really enjoyed, they’re super friendly and it made us feel right at home and safe knowing we’re around friendly neighbors. The house was definitely one of the best parts about our vacation!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Everything about this stay was phenomenal. The beds were a perfect amount of soft and firm. I loved that they had all of the toiletries. Towels. Coffee maker and even an espresso maker. I forgot many bathroom items like q-tips and body wash, shampoo, conditioner.. they had it alllll. We are from Michigan and the time change was actually extremely beneficial for us as we went to bed early and woke up early. We had beautiful sunsets!! Tons of lizards everywhere, be careful with the shells in the corner, there might be a momma and her eggs in there! There were also fruits growing outside along with many flowers. They provided a washer and dryer as well and an outdoor shower! We never used the outdoor shower, but nice to know there were two. I will say, the hot water runs out fairly quickly so space your showers out. Also, they did have little notes around to conserve water, so we made sure we didn’t take too many showers either. They had a full itinerary available but we decided to go about our own way: We visited many beaches for snorkeling. Two step and Queens bath was our favorite for swimming. Pebble beach was cool too and had many many rocks to climb on (at your own risk). We visited the volcanos- highly recommend! We visited the caves in Hilo - highly recommend! The waterfalls in Hilo were a trip too! We had breakfast at the coffee shop and a smaller one just before it that was even more satisfying but forgive me for forgetting the name. night manta ray swim- the best!

Location is a little out of the way but that's what we wanted. We put 1000 miles on the rental car in a week so make sure you get a car with plenty of allowed mileage and good miles per gallon. The property is nice. Really quiet and private. Great view, comfortable beds, and well equipped. Managers were quick to respond to questions and fix an issue with the drier. Would reccomend staying here to friends and family.

Nice place with stunning view from lanai

This home has a stunning view from the lanai. The 2 bedrooms are roomy and have comfortable, supportive mattresses. We thoroughly enjoyed Pebble Beach at the bottom of the subdivision. The home is on a catchment system but the owners provided bottled water for drinking which was a very nice extra. The house was decorated and coordinated with furniture and the all the trappings. As such, all the pillows, drapes, etc were all slightly musty even when we opened the house and ran the fans. The large screen TV provided fun movie watching in the evenings. The kitchen was very well equipped although the items were unorganized, mixed around and needed to be searched out.

Perfect in every aspect

My family loved this house off the beaten path in South Kona. We spent the first few days in town and then 5 days here. When we travel we like to stay in sometimes “not prime” locations because of the seclusion. The sunset views were incomparable and the nighttime star watching was superb. The water was too rough for us to enjoy Pebbles Beach but we walked along the waterfront anyways. The house was clean and very well stocked with anything you need to cook. We tend to eat out lunches (if we eat out) and then cook our dinners. We had two issues with the unit and Terri was responding immediately. One issue he had repaired within a few hours. Unfortunately, the second one required more time for them to fix but I am not faulting them and am sure it will be remedied ASAP based on how the property is maintained and the responsiveness of Terri.

Paradise is real!

We really enjoyed having coffee or cocktails on the magical lanai! I used the pretty hanging mosquito net to keep away from the skeeters, which were heavy at times and non existent at others. Sound of a heavy rain on the metal roof was soooo cool. The sounds from the little frogs didn’t bother us at all, as I had worried they might. The house is kept impeccably clean and well stocked. Our favorite was the black pebble beach at the end of the road. We went snorkeling several times, there are shallow reefs full of colorful tropical fish right off the shore on the right hand side from the parking lot. The beach has a bit of a drop off but is great for playing in the surf. The house is about 24 minutes from town of Captain Cook. We loved Black Rock pizza and the plate lunches at L & L BBQ! Right near there, is a fun outdoor market on Sundays with fresh produce, flowers, honey, crafts, excellent food & local crafts. Check out the woman with the white coolers full of amazing smoked marlin! We had such a peaceful time. It did get in the high 80s several days and it was warm in the house even with all the fans going, but we’re from Alaska & others might not notice at all. It felt great to get a bit sweaty and though go jump in the ocean. The location was everything we dreamed and more. Thanks to Terri and the friendly folks who stocked bottled water and gas for the grill, for a truly unbelievable stay. I can’t tell you enough how many times we giggled with joy at our good fortune to have found this incredible place & such a great value.

Tranquility Base

This remote cottage is removed away from the typical hustle and bustle of Hawaiian tourism with a view that doesn't stop. Approx an hour south of Kailua-Kona, the home is perched on a steep, highly vegetative lot that is so incredibly different than anything my wife and I have ever experienced, I don't know where to start explaining the magic we experienced this last week. All inclusive.... I'll start with an owners closet that is not locked but rather very accessible to extra everything. This means the owners care about your overall experience more than the almighty dollar. Every attention to detail in every corner of the house reminds one of visiting their favorite relative's home and the comfort that comes with those memories. All boxes checked....clean, inviting, well stocked kitchen, thoughtful DVD collection and streaming services, comfortable furnishings, soft linens, outdoor shower, washer/dryer, tiki torches with back up fuel, BBQ with back up fuel, and did I mention the Pacific Ocean? In your face morning, noon and night. Tranquility.....is one of the most impressive attributes provided. A distant wave crashing, an occasional bird chirping, a blue and green gecko scurrying across the patio....you have never experienced serenity and peace like this before. But be forewarned! This is not for everyone. Certainly not for the first timer to the islands looking for white sand crowded beaches, loud energetic nightlife and CrazyT Shirt shops. This will appeal to the seasoned Hawaiian aficionado looking for the local vibe, the relaxed slower pace and comforts of your Hawaiian grandparent's home (you didn't realize you had). We have already reached out to the owners about future stays and like always the reply was waiting in our email inbox before we returned home. Thank you caring owners!
