About this property
Holualoa Studio Cottage - GIANT OCEAN VIEW! Cool, private, near town
We are located on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, directly above Kailua-Kona, on the side of Mt Hualalai, in Holualoa, with an awesome ocean and coastline view! Please read our reviews because the view from the cottage lanai is better than we can describe in words!
Our custom built studio cottage is about 500 sq. feet with a roomy wide lanai, and special bistro high seating to enjoy the fabulous ocean view. MUST see to appreciate!
The cool elevation of our cottage is 1400 ft. with a beautiful view of the coastline over Honokohau Harbor. The sunsets we get to enjoy are incredible! The coqui frogs will sing to you in the early eve but quiet down during the middle of the night. Some call them them "night singing birds".
Holualoa town itself, is a small quaint art village now, and a classic old small Hawaiian town with lots of history. Holualoa area is a very preferred area to stay and live because of the cooler temperatures, Kona coffee country all around, coastline views, and it's close proximity to town.
There are several events in our village including "First Fridays" each month when local artists, musicians, food booths and more are all along the streets through Holualoa Town. We love Holualoa and know you will too!

About the host
Hosted by Roberta Marcigan
Billy and I have lived on the Kona Coast for over 30 years and raised our kids here. Billy is a retired roofing contractor, and I owned retail stores in town for years.
We recently built our adorable guest cottage for family and friends, and also to vacation rent for retirement income! It is built with love and creativity! And now we are enjoying meeting travelers and hearing their stories too.
We love this side of the island and our awesome cool elevation and total coastline view! We are located up the hill amongst the Kona Coffee farms and yet so close to town. This is why we love living here... it has everything!

Why they chose this property
We are in an ideal elevation and location!!! And trust us on that! You can stay cool, be so close to Kona town, (only a short 12-15 minute drive) but it still feels so private and quiet. This is where Kona Coffee is grown for a reason! On rainy days, you will hear the coqui frogs at night, but we supply earplugs if it is bothersome. We've gotten used to them...sort like crickets on a summer night!
Another big plus about our location is that you can access the roads to north and south and across the island without going through downtown and traffic. We have lived here for years and this area is our favorite for all reasons. The best of the Big Island!

What makes this property unique
Location!!! View!!! Awesome lanai and barbecue too! Close to town, convenient shopping, but slightly cooler and more peaceful. Very private, and lots lots more. Plus our cottage is decorated with fun eclectic imports and very island style too.
You will have about everything you will need and will get you anything you want if not already there!
Also we provide muffins, coffee and fruit for your first morning.
