About this property

199 Special Close to best beaches & Waimea

SHAMBHALA IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL HAWAII SHORT AND LONG TERM RENTAL POLICIES.

HI SPEED WI FI FIBER OPTIC INTERNET THAT RUNS @ 1GB SPEED.
For our guests with Wi-Fi sensitivities we have personal routers and router tamer bags with an on/off feature. We also have ethernet ports for hardwire connections.

Our peaceful, two acre retreat is ideally situated 5 miles up from the best Kohala Beaches and 4 miles down from Waimea Town. An easy drive for visiting HPA parents too.

This is a beautiful, spacious hale that sleeps two guests. There is a separate master bedroom, ensuite bathroom and is appointed with luxurious linens and a private lanai.

You can shower in the private bathroom or experience a secluded outdoor shower garden under the stars.

There is a fully equipped kitchen where full meals can be prepared with organics and local Hawaiian foods from the nearby farmers markets.
The elegant dining area with large table seats four.
If you prefer, grill on the outdoor gas BBQ and enjoy Al Fresco dining on the second lanai.
The living area is a comfortable space for television viewing or relaxing with a good read from our library.

The mountain and ocean views are enhanced by the mild temperature our 1700' elevation provides. This private apartment is a romantic honeymoon hide-a-way or comfortable home base for an Island adventure.

You will find yourself minutes away from the best beaches on the Big Island. The largest of Hawaii Island’s white sand beaches, Hapuna Beach, has consistently been rated on numerous international Top Ten lists. Mauna Kea Beach, a perfect crescent of golden sand leading to calm water, has been voted among the Top 10 beaches in the U.S. Both offer great conditions for swimming, sunbathing, body boarding and snorkeling.

Beyond the beaches, Hawaii offers a host of outdoor activities and sightseeing opportunities. Head to the Paniolo Town of Waimea and visit the many shops and galleries and restaurants.

There's no better way to experience the amazing cultural diversity of Hawaii Island than to visit one of the farmers’ markets that take place all around the island. You’ll find fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables used in Hawaii Regional Cuisine, exotic varieties that are as intriguing as they are tasty plus an eclectic collection of prepared foods. .The market is also a great place to pick up handmade artwork or a unique gift and strike up a conversation with the artist who made them.

Waimea Town is the perfect starting point for a trip to the Volcano National Park. A memorable drive to Hilo along the Hamakua Coast offers breathtaking views of historic Waipio Valley. This area is also home to Akaka Falls, one of Hawaii's most famous. You'll see deep water-carved gulches and valleys, thick with tropical foliage. Stop and tour gardens full of exotic plants and orchids.
For adventure of a higher nature, the 13,700 foot summit of Mauna Kea provides dramatic scenery and an unforgettable visitor experience. The W. M. Keck Observatory provides a visitor’s gallery with exhibits describing astronomy research and star gazing.
When you're ready for some relaxation, come home to Shambhala.
Let us know if you will be celebrating a special occasion or have a certain needs. We will do all we can to accommodate your request. You will always feel welcome at Shambhala Hawaii and long to return to our unique retreat.

We have found the best guide book is “Hawaii The Big Island Revealed”
by Andrew Doughty ISBN 13: 978-0-9814610-0-7.

All the comforts of home in a quiet setting
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely duplex rental located on a large private property in a quiet neighborhood. The house is a unique design with a round bedroom and en-suite bathroom that includes a door to a wonderful outdoor shower and garden enclosed by lava rock walls. The living, dining and kitchen areas are spacious and well appointed. The owners live in a separate home on the property and are available but never intrusive. We enjoyed our 3-week stay very much. Aloha.

Perfect romantic getaway
The location is a 10 minute drive from the local beach. Not many restaurants nearby, takes roughly 45 minutes to drive to the heart of Kona. The property was well stocked with beach supplies. The outdoor shower was a lovely touch and stargazing at night was breathtaking. The shower also waters the tangerine tree nearby. There is a tangerine tree on the property as well as a lemon tree. Most of the tangerines had small worms crawling inside but the lemons were very tasty and unlike anything we’ve ever had. The room was romantic, clean, plenty of storage, and high quality bedding. Even though there was a skylight window above the bed, you cannot really see the stars at night. There is a laundry on the property which was a short walk away. The trash cans were close to the property as well. There’s a grill and outdoor eating area. The kitchen is stocked with spices, oils, coffee and sugar. The complementary lunch bag was very helpful for our outdoor activities. The living area was comfortable and the couches had lots of room to relax. There is no air conditioning inside the house, but it didn’t feel hot because there was a large amount of fans inside each room which helped with circulation and the windows being open helped create a nice breeze. The parking lot is very close to the house and ample parking. The outdoor views were very beautiful like a garden and many picturesque views. Overall our stay was very pleasant and we had a very lovely honeymoon. Thank you so much Matt.

Great Location, Quiet, We Loved it!
This was our second time staying at this property. It is half way between Waimea and the beaches. It is clean, quiet and a home away from home. We had everything we needed to cook with as we like to buy fresh fish. We loved the outdoor shower. I read a couple of the books in the library. Love that we can do laundry here! Enjoyed the tangerines and limes that grow here! Loved it that we had beach towels, chairs, snorkel equipment and boogie boards! Matt is great -- so helpful! Highly recommend! We went to so many beaches, visited Waimea often for groceries and eating out. Went to Honokaa... Captain Cook for snorkling... etc. Just a note: If you want to visit Volcano Nat'l Park, I'd recommend staying on that side of island for a couple days as the park is 2 hours away from this location.

Wonderful!
The property was wonderful and as described. Matt was a wonderful host and it was clear that he put great energy and care into the space. It was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The surrounding garden and fruit trees were lovely and the outdoor shower was awesome. The bed was super comfortable and the space had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The beach and snorkel gear was wonderful and I cannot say enough great things about the property and the experience. The unit is adjacent to another Vrbo unit, but we had plenty of privacy and have no complaints. The property was lovely and we’d gladly stay there again!
