Delightful Artful Bungalow on Historic Estate Property. Choice Holualoa!

A charming 1930-era cottage, with a screened-in sitting area on the lanai, well-stocked kitchen, bath, will sleep two in a comfy queen-sized bed. Perfect for single or double occupancy. Covered parking close by. An outdoor patio fronting the cottage lanai, is a private sitting and dining space amongst the bananas and hundred-year-old mango tree, overhead. Cottage is on the property of an historic home, VRBO listing 495665, yet oriented toward the gardens of tropical landscape. Galley kitchen hosts a two burner gas stove, electric kettle, coffee-maker, microwave, toaster oven and under-counter refrigerator. A hibachi BBQ is stored behind the cottage for your convenience, with briquettes, and a chimney starter. Washer and dryer with detergent, in cottage carport.

Large landscaped yard to explore, with lawns to spread out on and breathe. Pick flowers or fruit, or enjoy the sunset from the adjacent Great Yard. Play with the bocce set, badminton, throw a football or frisbee on the lawn nearby. Or just sit and enjoy the spacious lawn.

Our coffee business, Kona Blue Sky Coffee Company, roasts quality beans on property in the family's 36 pound Sivetz coffee roaster. A stroll through your garage leads you to the large north yard and to the roast hale (pronounced ha-leh, meaning house, in Hawaiian). Take home fresh 100% Kona coffee to friends and family.

A friendly dog named Pua, and a social cat, Hobbes may greet you coming and going.

Hale Akala Cottage is centrally located in Kona. Fifteen minutes or less to beaches, restaurants, shopping, National Historic Parks, and museums.

Beautiful Big Island stay

We loved our stay at Lisa’s. The grounds are amazing. We came from Waikiki to here and everything is so much more relaxed. Tucked away but still a short drive to restaurants and shops in Kona. Perfect base for us to explore the Kona area and west side of Big Island. Lisa was a lovely host, making us feel really at home. Thanks again for our stay!

Great quiet location for this shabby chic cottage. Good communication with the host. Personally, the lack of AC and no ceiling fans in the high humidity made the stay too uncomfortable for my husband and I so we checked out early. But the host was very understanding.
