About this property

South Kona House with Spectacular Ocean View

Exceptional vacation house with ocean view. 33 miles south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Located near the village of Milolii. From here, travel to Volcano National Park, beaches, ancient ruins, Kona Coffee farms, and Kailua-Kona.

In the evening, watch the sunset from our lanai, as it sinks into the ocean. Take a walk to the ocean early in the morning. Use our snorkel equipment to explore the ocean from the rocks, 300 yards from our house. Explore the area and have fun in the South Kona area on the Big Island. We are open for a long term discount. For your safety, we monitor entrance areas to the property with outside security cameras at the front and rear entrances of the house.

Memorable Time in Hawaii

We were in Kona for a business trip and decided to stay a few extra days to take in the sights. We stayed at this beautiful home with a striking beach view. The house was very comfortable and provided us with wonderful memories of morning coffee and afternoon sunsets on the porch.

Nice Place, but VERY Quiet!

If one is looking for a decent, nice place this is it. But the 3 mile drive down from the main highway is quite interesting. 15 miles to the closest town. The place is very comfortable, but not too fancy.

Thank you Michael for your review. Our place is in a rural setting, so if you prefer city amenities, such as; nightlife, restaurants close by, then our place may not be attractive. But for viewing the ocean, walks and hiking, or snorkeling in the ocean, we may offer a more enjoyable visit to our house. Thank you again for your review.😀

Beautiful View, Quiet, Relaxing, Central to our Travel

We could hardly have been happier with our choice. A cute 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with a wide view of the ocean. The master bedroom was large, great walk in closet, expansive en suite bath with great water pressure for the shower, not a given with a catchment tank system. The owners were super responsive when there were questions. The living area was nice and big with two couches, both big enough to take naps in under the large windows. Fans in every room to add to the near constant breezes. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived with all the kitchen stuff necessary. The neighborhood is great for walking, ocean cliffs easily accessible for wild ocean views. Super neat blow holes when the water was big. 45 minutes to toes in the sand at 2 Step for great snorkeling and swimming, grocery stores and L&L BBQ 20 minutes away in Ocean View, Southpoint another 20 past that. A bit more than an hour to the Volcano or to Kona. We were there in January and we saw more than one whale from the porch on several occasions. So, great location, great views, pretty house, gorgeous landscaping, it was a wonderful time.

Nice hale.

This house is as advertised, clean and very organized. It is well equipped, including some beach gear to use for your trips out. Good wi-fi and multiple TVs w/ Roku boxes. We had a great stay, especially enjoying the amazing views and stunning night skies. The location is a little difficult to reach and far from services like stores and restaurants, nearest being 14 miles away. That includes the winding road down from the hwy, which is a doozy. Do your grocery shopping first! Arriving after dark and venturing down while searching for the house on your first night is adventurous. The instructions are good though, and a navi helps a lot but you best have a passenger assist with directions because the driver will be fully occupied. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Mahalo !!

A different part of the Big Island...

Four of us stayed at this home over the holidays. This is a unique part of the Big Island. It’s located about an hour south of Kona. You descend a windy road down into an area that feels almost rural. From the front porch the house you have a view of the ocean. We enjoyed many sunsets - walking from the house to the cliffs. Some mornings we would wake up and do yoga there. This is a nice place to slow down. If you go about 45 mins south, you can visit Punaluu black sand beach, as well as the Punaluu bakery which has a variety of malasadas. Also near Punaluu is the Green Sand beach. 25 mins away is a nice snorkeling spot called two-step. You can find some more local beaches nearby. In terms of working remotely - the internet does struggle doing Zoom video calls. The owners were nice enough to bump up the speed for us, so it's about 5Mbps down/2 Mbps up. Luckily we didn’t have to work much over the holidays, but it you need to work, you’re better off staying in Hilo or Kona. The internet here is good enough to stream Netflix and such from the Roku. The owners, Rick and Olivia are very nice and responsive. :)

Why they chose this property

Our property is in a rural setting, strategically located on the Big Island of Hawaii, near the ancient fishing village of Milolii. This property is a great get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We love the ocean views, the quiet in the evening, and beautiful lava landscape of the area. The local people are nice, fresh fruit is available at many roadside stands, along with the fresh catch from the local fisherman.

What makes this property unique

- Beauty of Area
- People
- Sharing our house with others
- Located well for traveling the Big Island
