About this property

5 Minutes to Beach & Town-Perfect Location, Private & Peaceful. A/C

Enjoy exceptional value in one of Kona’s most desirable locations—just four miles from town, yet close to stunning beaches and the harbor, where you can set off on unforgettable adventures like deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, and manta ray dives.

This is Hawai‘i at its best. Set on a lush one-acre estate, you’ll experience a peaceful, tropical retreat surrounded by vibrant gardens and natural beauty—far from the crowds, yet minutes from everything. Located at a comfortable 900-foot elevation, the climate is about ten degrees cooler than the coast, with refreshing trade winds and lower humidity. Open your windows year-round and enjoy the breeze.

The spacious property offers complete privacy, with no neighbors in sight and room to truly relax.

Your accommodations are in a private, self-contained ohana (guest suite) attached to the main home, with its own entrance, kitchen, and dedicated parking.

I’m available if needed, but otherwise your privacy is fully respected.

It may feel like you’re tucked away in your own private paradise, yet everything you need is just a short drive away—the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.

High-speed Wi-Fi is included, along with a flat-screen TV featuring Roku for streaming (Netflix and Amazon), plus basic cable.

During your stay you’ll enjoy:

The gentle songs of tropical birds all around you

Lush gardens just outside your door

Comfortable year-round temperatures

Close proximity to world-class golf courses

A vibrant landscape filled with flowers and greenery

Seasonal organic fruit from the property

Just three miles away, a quiet sandy cove often hosts sea turtles basking along the shore. Within 15 minutes, you’ll find one of the island’s most beautiful golf courses, where peacocks and native nēnē birds roam freely.

Peaceful, private, and inviting, this spacious yet cozy ohana offers a true sense of island living. It’s the kind of place guests return to year after year.

Come experience the beauty and tranquility of The Great Kona Escape—you’ll be glad you did.
