My Mermaid Paradise, a wonderful spot to leisurely relax and re-new. Smell the flowers at my privately gated, custom home. Two large, comfortable bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. Evenings provide silky Hawaiian 'mauka' (mountain) breezes. Awaken to sounds of songbirds, surrounded by beautiful gardens with lily ponds.
My home has been rented long term for 5 years! The folks who were vacationing when the pandemic began, loved it so much they never left!
They recently they bought their own home & they are sad to leave my Mermaid Paradise!

I have painted the entire interior and upgraded with new furniture since!
Only 2 minutes walk down the road and you are at the ocean!

Kealakekua bay is located on the Kona Coast, 12 miles South of Kailua-Kona. An historical location, well known for the death of Captain James Cook, the European explorer who made first contact with Native Hawaiians in 1778 at Kealakekua Bay.
(which means 'Pathway to the Gods')
Kealakekua Bay is also one of all Hawaii's most spectacular coral reefs. This is a Marine Life Conservation District where fish are plentiful and swarm over the well developed reef formations that slope steeply from the shore into the nearby deep water. Spinner dolphins and green sea turtles are commonly seen resting in the bay.
