"perfect for a family reunion" "cool at night was just right" "close to the best beach in Hawaii" "your own private estate" "amazing sunset views" We are not a corporation. We are a local Hawaii family who proudly HOSTS guests in our one and only home. As a HOSTED RENTAL we are fully HB 108 COMPLIANT, but you won't see us unless you need us, on site or by text 7 days a week. This is not a party house. We rent to fun-loving folks who seek tranquility in paradise. (We have a custom CANCELLATION POLICY: "...full refund less VRBO fee plus 5% administrative fee for low season..." READ FULL POLICY BELOW) \*\*After March 2021, all taxes and fees are included in the price quoted. (For bookings made prior to March 2021, taxes will be collected in the week before arrival)\*\* The house is very large and we sometimes accommodate groups larger than the stated maximum (extra guest fees apply). Please send us an inquiry and how you plan to use the house. Situated at the end of a long private drive, you have complete privacy. You can't see any neighbors or the street, but you can see miles and miles of sumptuous blue ocean. There are many different spaces for relaxing and enjoying the peace. A large group can spread out and not see much of each other or gather in the great room for a banquet! HIGHLIGHTS: 3 master suites! 3600 sq ft of indoor space, 6 lanai (porches) provide 2000+ sq ft of outdoor living space (most of it covered), 11 real beds, plus 3 queen bed-height AeroBeds and 3 memory foam twin mattresses, two full-size refrigerators, dishwasher, gas range, full laundry facilities, cathedral ceilings, ample parking for 8 vehicles, wireless internet boosters throughout the house, 60" flat screen smart TV with media hook-up, cool mountain air at night and warm ocean breezes during the day, closer to the best beaches (including top-rated Kua Bay) than any condos, houses or hotels in Kona, quiet, completely private 1.2 acre lot. MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE HOUSE Natural Air Conditioning: We are at a perfect elevation, with expansive ocean and coastline views. Folks who live 300 ft below us are in the lava desert with no greenery and where they need air conditioning many nights; homes 300 ft above us are in the cloud forest where you don't get direct sunlight some days. Here, the cool nights are a wonderful contrast to the warm sunny days. The temperature is just chilly enough most nights to want a light blanket, but warms into the 70’s by about 9am. Mosquitoes are almost never a problem. We are nestled between an ancient 'ohi'a forest and coffee, mango, and avocado groves. If it has rained recently the jungle sounds will fill the air (people sensitive to sound may want to bring silicone ear plugs for rainy nights). There may be some mosquitoes, especially at dusk, but guests find they can dine any evening on the front lanai, which is 20 ft off the ground, without any bug problems. This is a well-maintained, upscale residence but like all houses in Hawaii you will see the occasional gecko or beetle who has wandered into the house and can't find his way home. We mention this because geckos are so bright green and beautiful that they look plastic. Guests not familiar with Hawaii have been startled the first time they see one. Some have reached out, thinking it was a refrigerator magnet or wall art, only to have the little guy dart away. They love jelly and will lick it from your finger if you hold very still. During rainy season you may see some ants, especially if you leave food out in the kitchen. We do not keep any chickens but, as with all rural areas of Hawaii, there are occasional feral roosters. The Grounds: Our house is situated well off the street at the end of a long driveway in a very private lot filled with banana, papaya, macadamia nut, coffee and avocado trees. You are welcome to share in the bounty when the fruit (or the vegetables in our organic garden) are in season. There is a gas grill on the back lanai. Also in the back of the house, surrounded by a trellis and lush greenery for privacy, is our outdoor shower with hot water! This is a wonderful first stop when you return home from the beach. It's private enough that some groups use the outdoor shower as the "guys" shower. Note: we have security cameras on our home, facing outwards to help keep our guests safe. Central Location: We are just 8 minutes to Kona town with its restaurants and nightlife, and 5 minutes from Costco, directly above some of the best coastline on the island: Honokohau Harbor and National Park, and the Pine Trees surf break. The airport is 12 minutes the other direction, and 5 minutes beyond it is the turnoff to unparalleled Kua Bay, recently voted the best beach in the Hawaiian Islands and one of the Top 10 beaches in the world. A spectacular place, Kua provides the best boogie boarding, body surfing, and frolicking in the Islands. Don't spend your vacation stuck in traffic! Getting back to our house from the beach is 20 minutes faster than getting back to Kona town because our location gives us traffic-free access to Kua and all the kick’n Kohala beaches (Kua, Kukio, Beach 69, Hapuna and Mauna Kea) as well as Waimea, which is just 35 minutes from home. The Waipio Valley overlook is 75 minutes. Hilo is just over an hour via the Saddle Road Hwy. Captain Cook and points south (Green Sand Beach, Southpoint, and Volcano) can be accessed, avoiding the Kona traffic, via the quaint artist town of Holualoa and the picturesque Mamalahola Highway. Food Preparation: The gourmet kitchen is well stocked with service for 24+, has space for 4-5 people to work together, and is integrated into the Great Room. It has three sinks, over 8 square meters of granite counter space, cutting boards, dishwasher and other stainless steel appliances, a Vitamix blender, and everything else a foodie needs to grill, bake, or saute up delicious meals. In the back of the house is a lanai with a gas grill. This lanai is also our favorite place for breakfast since it catches the morning rays. Jurassic Park: Drive two miles straight up from our house to the Cloud Forest. There you will find some of the best hiking trails on the island, including one which was used for scenes in the movie Jurassic Park. The House Manual includes detailed instructions on how to find our favorite hikes, most of which you will not find in any guidebook! Equipment: Beach and bath towels, all linens, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, boogie boards, beginner surfboards, beach chairs, and coolers are available for use free of charge. Surfers and paddle surfers inquire with us about where to surf. We can also arrange a surfing lesson for beginners or experts, or just point you to where the waves are breaking. Adventure: There is no place on earth like the Big Island of Hawaii, and we chose this house because it is the perfect base for exploring it. You are welcome to borrow from our library of guidebooks, and we are happy to share our recommendations for the best beaches and hikes, the best places to snorkel with dolphins in the wild, where to eat and shop in Kona, and other little-known secrets. From here you can day trip to other parts of the Island...to the wild coast near Hawi, the rugged jungle and spectacular waterfalls of the Hamakua coast and Waipio Valley, and, of course, the unparalleled Volcanoes National Park.

Close to town and very private. Loved the evening frogs, crickets and other night sounds. Lots of room for the family. The owner responded immediately when I had a question.

We had a party of 21 adults, and found space for everyone. Allie was a great host and communicated with us throughout; answering all our little questions about the house. Wholeheartedly recommend this place for family reunions, friends, or any party larger than just a core family. ##### Dennis C. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline P.

After a long day exploring the Big Island, we could relax on the lanai and watch the gorgeous sunsets. Never felt crowded and it was always peaceful. The price was great and we would highly recommend staying here. Mahalo!! ##### Pauline P. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny A.

Allyson was the perfect host along with her onsite team to provide recommendations and advise on how to enjoy our 10 day trip to the Big Island. It worked out to be everything we hoped for when we booked it to be able to have a great get together with enough space to have our privacy. Thank You. ##### Danny A.

The home has an amazing open feel so that whether in the kitchen, on the large sectionals, eating on the attached lanais, or doing laundry, everyone felt part of the group but still had a cozy feeling where they were. The home provides so many extras including ample beach towels and equipment, paper goods, cleaning and laundry supplies, extra items in the pantry, and plenty of seating inside and out. The location is incredibly convenient for the Kona side of the island and a doable drive for a day at the Volcano National Park. Allie was prompt and attentive with her communication. Definitely a Premier Host! Be sure to drive carefully up the driveway to the ample parking on top. You will enjoy this home! ##### Fran S.

We needed a property that would accomodate all of our family. We had a great time. The property location was great. Very close to stores including Costco, Walmart and Target. Very clost to the airport and the pier. Lots of space. The house was able to accomodate 11 of us. Allie was a great hostess. She always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. Furthermore, there were many restaurants, hikes and beaches she recommended. I would highly recommend this property. ##### Kenneth H. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan G.

It's in the hills surrounded by gardens with very few neighbors. There is plenty of room and everything is supplied (except bar soap, which I recommend you bring with you). The owner is responsive, helpful, and very nice. There are books and maps for use around the area. It's not near the beach, so if that's what you want, this is not the property for you. The beaches are all within brief driving distance, especially the beach at Kona. We loved the place and would stay there again. ##### Susan G.

Had great views of the water. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook the food we bought. Plenty of extremely comfortable bed (we had a group of 11 and didn't even have to use all the beds). The property was tucked away and not in a neighborhood which was super nice. All the beach amenities needed so we didnt have to pack our own from home. The kods had lots of fun chasing around all the little geckos. It was also fun walking the property looking for the different fruits and plants that are in the house binder. The binder also has very good suggetions for beaches to visit and other activities. We would definitely recommend this house to other people planning on visiting the Kona area. ##### Ryan B.

She responds in a timely manner. She was also very accommodating and flexible when I needed to decrease my guest count only to increase it later. She maintains an open line of communication in case issues rise up, someone left something behind, where to find toys/tools/etc. etc. - It's a big, clean, open house with a fantastic view of the beach and ocean! Open floor plan. Plenty of fans in case it gets too hot. (Embrace that Hawai'i climate!!) There are toys and books too! Kitchen is stocked with utensils, pots, and pans too. - Couldn't ask for a better location! Again, fantastic view that's also less than 15 min. away from Kailua-Kona city center, Costco, and the airport! I couldn't ask for a better house, a better host, or a better vacation. ##### Jason Y.

Our time spent here was nothing short of relaxing and welcoming. The spacious interior provided ample room for rest and relaxation after long days traveling around the island. The five bedrooms contained twelve beds, in addition to extra air mattresses, allowing everyone to have a comfortable spot to sleep. Additionally, the numerous bathrooms were helpful to our group of 17 when finding time to clean up after a long day of snorkeling or hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with an impressive collection of appliances and a large cooktop. It became the bustling hub where we could create our large meals, prepare lunches, or indulge in a leisurely breakfast. The lanai provided us a large space where all our group could enjoy a meal together. The generosity of our host was evident from the thoughtful gesture of providing many household needs for our group. Such attentiveness only added to the charm of our experience. Overall, our time at this extraordinary property surpassed all expectations. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jodi k.

We had a large family group here for a week. It was PERFECT! Communication with Allyson was prompt and she was very accommodating. The house was beautiful and well equipped, the space was set up SO well for a large group, we ate most of our meals in the house and there was lots of space for prepping and eating. Some things that were very thoughtful-2 coffee makers and two crockpots-made cooking for our large group manageable. There were some water toys that the teens took to the beach and games and books that we enjoyed at the house.Even with our large group of children we felt comfortable-the house is perfect for families, clean but not pristine-exactly what feels most like home. The slightly rural location provided privacy for such a large group as well as a feeling of safety being a bit off the busy roads as we had nine children from 1-7 years. Each individual family group had rented a vehicle so the 10-15 minute drive to the beach was very manageable and the house had lots of parking. The view and wildlife are spectacular! I would recommend this home! ##### jodi k.

Our family of 14 (kids 8-28) found this to be the perfect base for our first Big Island adventure. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and truly enjoy the magic of Hawai'i. The views are jaw dropping. The host was very helpful in advance of our trip to help with planning and easily available for questions about local activities while we were there. Everything in the house worked and we had zero problems. So many extras came with this property and insured we all had the best time.

We loved the night sounds of the crickets and frogs. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and there was another kitchen downstairs to store even more food. I loved hanging out on the different porches to watch & listen to the rain. This secluded house is nestled on the hill with really great ocean views, yet is close to town and some really cool beaches. We all would love to have a family vacation at this property again. ##### Christy B.
