About this property

HOLUALOA COUNTRY HOME

The Holualoa Country Home is a one bedroom with a queen bed, small private patio area with some ocean view, cable TV, WiFi, full kitchen, bath with tub/shower. The sofa in living area lays flat to a bed. Minutes to Holualoa village. Close to Kailua-Kona town, the ocean, the ocean and beaches, airport,shopping and restaurants. Holualoa offers peaceful, country living at a cool elevation.

The Holualoa Country Home is clean, and comfortable. Most comfortable for couples, solo adventurers, friends traveling together and small families. The kitchen is well equipped with range, refrigerator,microwave, pots/pans, etc. We provide 4 sets of bath towels, beach towels, essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, some toilet tissue) and clean linens at each check in. There are beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board and coolers for your outdoor adventures. the house will always be clean with fresh linens at every check-in.

This home has two separate living areas (like a duplex). Each with their own entrance and outdoor patio. The two living areas are separated by a garage in the middle. The washer and dryer located in the garage are shared. Garage parking is also shared. there is one stall in the garage for this unit. there is also additional parking located on the side of the house.

Duarte Road is a paved, private road just south of Holualoa Elementary School and close to Holualoa Village. We are about 1/3 mile off of Mamalahoa Hwy., this is a country setting on a small family ranch. Only a few days a month some cattle will be down near the house.There is a gate at the house that needs to be opened to drive in and park and then kept closed when the cattle is down.

Holualoa does have coqui frogs that chirp at night, especially when it rains. There may also be noise from roosters, chickens in the distance and cattle when they are down near the house.

You'll need a car to get around while you are here. Holualoa Village is only minutes away, it is about 15 minutes to Kailua-Kona town. You should find everything you need in Kailua-Kona (Walmart, Target, Safeway , Costco, groceries, shopping, fast food, galleries, bars and restaurants.) We are about 35 minutes to Keahole Airport.

Many adventures await you during your time here on the Big Island. Some of our favorite beaches are magic Sands (15 minutes away), Honls, Kamakahonu Bay(in front of the Marriott King Kamehameha Hotel), Kekahakai STte Park (Mahaiula's), Kua Bay (Maniniowale Bay), Hapuna Beach to name a few. Snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach, Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau Bay. Deep sea fishing, diving and night charters start from Honokohau Harbor. Scenic Valleys in Kohala and along the Hamakua Coast. Waterfalls on the East side of the island.A day trip south takes you to Punaluu Black Sands Beach, the cliffs off South Point and Green Sands Beach (Mahana Bay). Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are accessible for those seeking seasonal Hawaiian snow or a glimps of the stars. So many adventure, too little time to truly enjoy all our island has to offer.

Beautiful, quiet mountainside setting

We were seeking a quiet setting to Relax and soak up all that the Big Island offers. Central enough to visit our favourite island spots but removed enough to avoid the bustle of lower Kona. The pace of coffee country is just right. We would return in a heartbeat. Aloha

Big Island Base Camp

Only negative/be-aware-of first: it can get hot and muggy in the afternoons. Don't leave the windows open hoping for a breeze, we figured out that leaving them shut after the early morning kept some of the overnight coolness in the house. We appreciated the super comfortable mattress and luxurious pillows and slept well here. We saved a lot of money on our trip by using their kitchen and their ice chest to pack lunches. It was nice that they provided your first day's coffee, sugar, oatmeal, some snack bars, beach towels, and washer/dryer. This place is not far from anything as the crow flies, but is way up the mountainside from the coast. The road to the house is in good condition (our little Toyota Corolla rental had no trouble), but can be a bit of a nail biter if you're not used to such steep roads that go straight up/down. We got used to it and would stay again, and the payoff is a lush semi-wild farmland surrounding you and a view down to the ocean below.

This is a beautiful, spotless, comfortable cottage. It has everything you might need, including beautiful sunsets from a back patio overlooking the coastline, sounds of nature all around, soooo relaxing. The communication with the hosts was great. Easy and clear. We’ll be back! Jo-Anne

First Vrbo on First time on the Big Island

This rental was my first place using this service, and it set the standards for future rentals thru here very high! The neighbors were great, the view was excellent, and the property manager is the most friendly person you will meet! The app was easy to use, communication was excellent. Honestly, five stars all around. Thank you

Country cottage away from the bustle

Perfect for the two of us, this cottage (a diplex with a garage between the untis) is in the coffee countryside above Kailua Kona. Had everything we needed for our stay. Owner was terrific and even helped us when we had two flight cancellations for our return home. TBH, the first time you do the steep driveway you may think “ are you kidding me?” But after that first up and down you are a pro. Would stay there again!

Aloha! Good directions to get to the property, the main private road was a little tricky to find but once rolling up, all was good. The room was clean and featured a fantastic view of the west side daily sunsets. Please bring a sweater if headed there during the winter months, the upper elevation keeps everything nippy. Many thanks to our host for a wonderful stay. The roaming cows were an added bonus. Can't wait to stay again. Mahalo!

mountain hideaway

Lori was very communicative prior to our arrival, giving us very specific instructions on how to find this remote little gem. It was very clean, well stocked and welcoming. It is very difficult to find, but glad we came first during the day, so when we returned at night, we knew where to go. She even rushed over in the evening to bring us extra bedding (and extra TP), since my son was sleeping on the couch. Even though it's remote, it's very close to the airport, so made it convenient when I had to return later to pick up my mom. Looking forward to our return for our last night staying there before our flight home.

Rest

My mom passed a little over a month ago and we had all this planning to do for her celebration of life on top of dealing with the grief. I was invited to a birthday party on the 2nd and I thought it would give me a chance to take a break. And it was perfect! The place was located in the hills where it was nice and cool and peaceful! I was able to breathe and rest. An added bonus was the Ohia trees that lined the drive. It is my favorite tree.

Cozy country cottage in Holualoa

I knew I wanted to be away from the Kona area and have always loved the Holualoa laid back vibe. Great view from the lanai as I worked on my newsletter. Enjoyed the sunsets tremendously. No need for airconditioning as a leaving the windows slightly open works really well and if it get warmer or if you are warm from having been on a hike the ceiling fan at low speed in both the living room and bedroom work great. We had everything we could need and really enjoyed the coqui frogs serenading us as we went to bed. There is wonderful breakfast and coffee close by without having to go into Kona. It was loads of fun driving through the upper back roads - curvy and so lush and green. Kona has gotten ridiculous in collecting expensive parking fees especially close to the cruise terminal and so will only head to businesses that have free parking which is further away from the cruise terminal. Will stay again when are back on the west coast of the Big Island. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

From Alaska to Hawaii

My husband, daughter (12), and myself enjoyed our stay here! Being greeted in the morning by the cows on the other side of the gate, and the coqui frogs singing to us at night. It was a good little spot for our first 4 nights on the island! The only real downside is the proximity of the other unit. While we were there another group arrived for that unit and would come/go later in the evening than we did. Since it’s a shared gate the sound of them opening the chain and driving up was loud. They also had 4 vehicles (including a motorcycle) there at one point in what is a very small driveway, less than 5 ft from our unit’s bedroom window. Minor inconveniences overall, but if you’re looking for privacy and quiet, this might need to be factored in. The host was lovely to communicate with!

Nice Stay

This rental was well maintained and very clean. The bed was excellent which we truly appreciated as had just flown in from the mainland. We also appreciated the coffee and creamer provided as we hadn't had time to get supplies yet. The kitchen was well supplied also and even had a cutting board which many rentals forget about. The one thing lacking was a small table of some kind to eat a meal. so we used the coffee table. Our only real struggle was finding the rental. Our Google map was totally baffled by the area and took us in the entirely wrong direction several times. We finally tried asking for it to send us to the elementary school and there we could find Duarte Rd. It is a lot further up the hill too than we guessed and we stopped once to ask directions. It might be helpful to include the mileage from the bottom of the hill to the house as an added assist. We had a nice bonus of seeing 2 stunning sunsets from the small deck. Our only
