About this property

Take Your Breath Away!


Aloha and welcome to your peaceful place of eden and the answer to a relaxing visit on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are located on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii and close to Ho'okeena Beach, Pu-uhonua o Honaunau (aka Place of Refuge) and the world famous Two Step at Honaunau Bay. Two step is voted one of the top snorkeling locations on the Big Island of Hawaii where you can enjoy an early morning swim with spinner dolphins and float around in the blissful blue bay with the turtles, coral and fish. We are also close to the famous Painted Church, Kealakekua Bay (Captain Cook Monument) and we are near the Volcano National Park which is 70 miles to the south with spectacular views and hiking. At the bottom of our quiet little subdivision is a private community, small black pebble beach that offers hiking trail access, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and diving access.  
Our newly purchased home in the Kona Paradise Subdivision is a single story ocean inspired home that boasts an almost 180 degrees of unobstructed breathtaking views of the ocean. It also is very spacious with an open floor plan with tile floors throughout. That's right, no carpet! You will have exclusive use of the 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 car garage home with brand new laundry facilities on site. We also have mangos, starfruit, pineapples, oranges, coconuts and beautiful plumeria trees on the property! 
The expansive covered wrap-around lanai is the perfect place to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, sip a delicious cup of 100% Kona coffee from one of the many close by coffee plantations, check your email or eat a delicious mango after awaking to the birds chirping and the beautiful hillside beckoning a morning hike. This is paradise! 
The spacious master bedroom has its own direct access to the carport and back of the property, a plush queen size bed, walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The second guest bedroom features direct access through a sliding door to the wrap-around lanai a plush queen size bed and shares a full bathroom with the third bedroom, containing one single twin bed.  
The two larger bedrooms and the living room all have ceiling fans. The house is not air-conditioned; however, there are plenty of screened windows, two sliding doors onto the lanai, and plenty of ocean and mountain breezes. The expansive covered wrap-around lanai (over 500 square feet) is easily accessed off of all of the bedrooms in the house. You will find fantastic views and an enjoyable stone-topped dining table on the lanai and chairs to enjoy quiet mornings or sunset dinners. 
The kitchen has brand new appliances and is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, blender, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and baking pans. The carport has 3 boogie boards, snorkel gear, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and a large sun umbrella. 
 
We are located 25 miles south of Kona and 32 miles south of the airport, off of Highway 11. It is a beautiful, lush and scenic drive past quaint towns and coffee farms. The property is set on ancient lava flows, overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean, the King's Trail for hiking, an ancient volcanic cinder cone, a private pebble beach, and some of the best snorkeling/diving on the Kona coast (NO Sand). The water is so perfect for diving and snorkeling, that the infamous Aggressor dive boat anchors off our community's coastline daily.

Such a fantastic view.
We stayed a week in early Fed 2024. The location was spot on and the view to die for. The best thing about this place hands down was the patio!! The view was so great. We had a screen door problem and that was taken care of quickly. Water was no issue at all. You just had to conserve a bit that you might not be use to at your house. Many people complained about the drive. It was a bit curvy but you get use to it. And the place to the main road was only one minute. We loved the drive to the bottom and the access to the ocean from there. Location was ok the drive to places (resturants, store ect )was 10 minutes away. Many of places to go to in this time frame. And add another 15 min and you have everything you need. You are in the middle ot Kona Coffee belt!!!

Kona Paradise vacation.
This was our first house in Hawaii so we were not experienced about the island. The booking process and communication with owners was very good. The house served as our base because we were gone everyday. The only real negative of the house was the furniture in the living room. Very old and uncomfortable pieces. They need to be replaced. There was alot of driving for anything we wanted to do, we were not aware the winding road distance to any destination. Its about one hour from the airport to the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house with the understanding about all the driving involved.

The Dream Vacation
My family and I had the most wonderful stay here! We had kids age 6-16. The house has everything we could need supply wise. Blankets, kitchen supplies, beach toys... It was perfect. There is a wonderful beach at the bottom of the road. The neighbors you meet on the beach are so friendly and have wonderful suggestions to different beaches and places to visit. We were told of a beach where we could possibly see turtles, and we did!!! The road is intimidating at first, but it gets easier! My 11 year old and I walked down the hill the first morning and had a morning swim. Boy did we feel the burn the next day!! The hosts were very accommodating and great at communication. The neighbors are wonderful and have fresh caught Ono on a regular basis to buy and cook up for a feast to enjoy out on the beautiful back deck. There are frogs (I believe) that sing into the night, lovely little geckos that scamper all about the property, and there was even a mother bird with brand new babies up in one of the candle holders out on the deck. It is truly a magical place!!!!
