Une retraite privée sur 2. 7 Acres

Magnificent

We stayed 10 days here and loved it. The Lanai is where we spent most of our time when at the house. It is very secluded and quiet. The amenities were well thought out - easy access to BBQ, Laundry, clothes line, Kitchen, hoses, etc. Anything you needed, it was there.

Perfect location to go North or South Kona. Most of the tours (kayak, snorkel, etc.) are very close by. Yet, you are away from the more touristy Kailua area.

The hot tub didn't work perfectly, but that was the only glitch.

We will stay again next time on the Big Island. Fantastic vacation spot.

This house was wonderful!! The view alone was worth the price. We stay in most days and took advantage of the pool, hot tub, and outdoor spaces. This is an open air type of home which was a fun way to spend a few days immersed in the Hawaiian breeze as birds sang away. We were able to pick ripe fruit from the many different trees and enjoyed the many beautiful flowers. We ran into the staff when we first arrived and they were really great. Took some extra time to get out pool toys for the kids and a pack n play for our littlest. Made sure we had everything we needed, and that all questions we might have were answered. Everything was very clean and well stocked. Our family is already looking forward to our next stay!

This is a great house in a beautiful location. Layout of the house is perfect, giving all members of our party (5 adults) privacy as well as places to be together. Loved the flow of the spaces from outside to inside to outside again. Neat nooks and crannies everywhere, and always a great view. Landscaping is incredible --- so many beautiful plants --- and we could pick delicious fruit to eat right off the trees! Lovely lanai, pool and hot tub overlooking the ocean --- we spent a lot of time here gazing out over the ocean while drinking tropical beverages. House is very well stocked with all equipment and utensils you could need for cooking and eating; entertainment is covered with lots of games, books, and DVDs. Beds are generally comfortable and bathrooms are very nice. Grocery store, drugstore, shops and restaurants are conveniently located a short drive away at the Keauhou Shopping Center. The only downside during our stay was the current eruption of Kilauea causing "vog" along the southwest side of the island; this made the view not quite as clear and beautiful as the photo here in the listing, but we noticed no sulfur smells or any ill effects (recommend heading up north to Kohala or over to Hilo and the Hamakua coast for vog-free vistas).

Things to be aware of: 1) One or more nearby roosters crow BEFORE dawn every morning, followed shortly by a beautiful but LOUD symphony of bird songs; go to bed early! 2) Traffic noise from Highway 11 (which is way down below the house) does make it up to the house, but it lessens to almost nothing at night. 3) The twin beds in the third bedroom are small, obviously meant for kids; not a great fit for adults, although our daughter made do (the other two bedrooms are perfect for couples). 4) Keep the screen doors closed at all times to keep the geckos and bugs outside! 5) Drive SLOWLY up the private access road to the driveway especially if you have a low-riding vehicle, or else you risk scraping your underbody on the road.

In summary, we would definitely return to this house if we ever have the opportunity again --- highly recommended!

Beautiful house with open air spaces. Amazing deck with beautiful views. We stayed in a lot and hung out at the pool. There are many fruit trees on property. The property is private on a hill overlooking kona. Maybe 8 minutes drive to the closest beach. Many of Kona’s beaches are rocky though, so if you have young children like us you might want to drive north to the soft sand beaches.
