About this property
Three Palms
Situated at 600 feet elevation on the side of Hualalai Volcano, Three Palms is a private, two-room (plus a bath) suite in a private residence in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Kailua Kona and the Pacific. The location is ideal...only a few hundred yards up the mountain from the Hawaii Belt Road (State Highway 11, Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway), one mile south of Kailua Kona town proper, and a little more than nine miles south of Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA)(approximately 20 minutes to/from the airport).
Although the house is occupied, you need never see or interact with the owner (unless you need assistance!), as you have your own private entrance and a lanai and deck for your exclusive use.
The three rooms include one king bedroom with a garden view, a connecting bath, and a lounge that can be used as a bedroom, with a queen-size sleeper sofa and ocean views. The suite is intended for a couple, a couple with small children, or two couples (the maximum occupancy is four people), but the ideal use is by a couple who are looking for a quiet, relaxing environment.
The king bedroom has two small desks with power connections if two of you want to use your laptops at the same time (the house has 500 Mbps service, and the modem/router is just outside the room, with a mesh node in the ocean-view room, as well).
For those rare times you will want to stay in, the suite includes a kitchenette with a microwave oven, toaster, and refrigerator, as well as a Keurig brewer (coffee, tea, and hot chocolate provided), and sink. If you wish, a convection oven/air fryer, portable (but large-capacity) griddle, and barbeque grill are available. A small-capacity washing machine is also provided, with a drying rack (and a retractable clothesline in the shower).
For your stay-at-home entertainment, there's a 75-inch Samsung Smart TV with Netflix and other movie channels.
You'll have beautiful ocean and 'jungle' views from the deck, which is yours to use exclusively. There's a table and four chairs protected by an huge umbrella, useful day and night (includes soft, warm lighting), an L-shaped lounge, and two separate chairs with small table, all for contemplating the gorgeous sunsets while enjoying your wine.
So, come to Kona and enjoy your stay at Three Palms!
