About this property

Moon @ Konarado

Rest and recharge in one of the best, quietest, relaxed, and established vacation rentals in Kailua Kona. Konarado is an environment that has not disappointed. At Konarado, you can have your own peaceful paradise.

Located in a very quiet neighborhood, many retired people enjoy the sounds of birds, the ocean and breezes every day. This being the case, this property may not be appropriate for younger children, or groups that enjoy loud music and activity. However, if you prefer a place where you can recharge your batteries, and where people respect your desire for relaxation and peace & quiet, The Kona Retreat is the place.

Take a dip in the heart-shaped pool to cool off after a day in Kona, or invigorate you with a night swim. The back deck around the custom pool is surrounded by a wide array of fruit trees and tropical flowers including citrus, plumeria, red, white and blue ginger, bananas, mango, and papaya. The pool deck is another great dining area with a gas barbecue. Soak up the island sun, melt off the mainland ice and snow, grill up your favorite surf and turf items, enjoy some island ‘grindz’ and recharge your batteries at this very special and unique rental. The pool is equipped with an automatic pool cleaner to insure that it is clean and sparkling every day.

With over 300 feet of living space available in the pool-side guest suite, spacious and tasteful only begins to describe your stay here. Plenty of dining space is located around the custom pool and in the Tiki Bar.

2 flat screen TVs, DISH Network Satellite Service.

High-Speed WiFi access is available to keep you in touch while you are away - surf the web while sunning at the pool or waking in your rooms..

We want you to have the best vacation possible, and we always take time to insure that everything is fresh and inviting, including the towels, sheets and all linens, that the furnishings are well maintained and updated, and that the yard and pool are ready and waiting for you. The hosts are available to answer any questions you may have about the rental, and provide local information on request.

This contemporary and green designed island style rental has been designed to take advantage of the naturally occurring sea and mountain breezes that can change like clockwork during the island day. Ceiling fans are available if breezes fade. Air conditioning is there when everything else fails.

The Konarado is just three miles from Kailua-Kona and minutes from all of the activities the Gold Coast of Hawaii is famous for. The Konarado is fortunate to be close to one of the few beaches on the Kona Coast - if you ever want to leave the pool and deck area!

Konarado - when you want to get away from it all, and still have everything.

This property is a hosted Hawaii County TVR. The Rental unit is this advertisement is The Moon.

Perfect stay at the Kona Retreat!

The Kona Retreat turned out to be a great ending to our Sept. 2017 trip to Hawaii. We spent 8 nights in Maui and 4 nights on the Big Island. The listing and photographs describe the home accurately however it was much bigger to us in person. The home is handsomely decorated in island furnishings of high quality. We really liked the look and feel of the home! The home is situated in a very nice quiet residential community about 2 1/2 miles to Kona Town. The grounds are well kept and the pool a nice plus. You can see the ocean from the lanai and front room. All the rooms are very generous in size. The master bathroom and walk-in closet are particularly large as is the master bedroom and living room. The enormous kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The owners also provided beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment. The owners live on the first floor of this home but we hardly knew they were there. They were very sensitive to our privacy but were also very quick to respond to a couple of questions I had about the home. I would differently recommend this home for your stay on the Big Island, we had a great experience!

Thank you for your lovely review. My wife and I designed and built this custom home with over 4000 square feet under roof and the opportunity to incorporate a separate and private ohana space that enables us to personally take care of our guests. We retired from the hospitality industry after executive assignments at the 5 Star resorts of Ritz Carlton, Bacara, Mauna Lani Bay and The Orchid. This experience ingrained in us what is important to provide the best guest experience possible.

Lovely spacious, and comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood.

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The house is really well equipped with plentiful supplies of dishes, silverware, cups/glasses, along with towels/beach towels. It's so nice to not have to wash silverware before every meal so you have enough. We also appreciated the supply of cloth napkins, and more than enough dish towels. The bedrooms have overhead fans, along with standing fans for the extra hot nights. Plenty of windows to keep the breeze moving, too. Living room couches were actually comfortable, and there was plenty of dining space with the indoor table, and the outdoor table. Sitting at the kitchen island as well. Outside was gorgeous, and we all enjoyed the pool. It was never too cool to use, and we had fun with the pool toys. We also used some of the snorkel equipment, and the ice chest when we were out exploring the island. We would definitely consider The Kona Retreat again on a return trip.

Absolutely perfect!

We had an amazing stay! We absolutely loved the private pool! Unlike staying at a condo, its not a big event to go down to the pool! Great way to just sit back and relax without any crowds! The pool is beautifully gardened with amazing plants and trees that give you complete privacy! The house was open and airy and we loved listening to all of the different birds in the morning and the crickets at night! The air movement keeps the whole house very cool and comfortable....no a/c needed! We appreciated that the house was well stocked with all that you would need to settle in and relax or head to the beach to play! I would highly recommend this home. You will not be disappointed! Jeff was a pleasure to work with and it would be a delight to visit his home again!

Great location

We just left the Kona Retreat and are already wanting to return! House is very clean with plenty of clean (white) linens and towels. All the comforts of home but with a hotel-like feel! Neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful, we woke up to the sounds of birds chirping each morning. Pool area with lots of flowers and fruit trees around. House is very accessible to Kailua Kona as well- we took Uber rides into town to go out to dinner- which were easy to get. Only thing to note is that the whole house is open-air so no air conditioning, and the occasional ant or two. Nothing that ruined our stay or would make us not come back. We would definitely return if we make it back to Hawaii!

Lovely, would definitely come again.

The house is lovely. It's tastefully decorated with all the comforts you would expect. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you could possibly need. We baked bread and muffins whilst there and had a number of meals both inside and on the lovely lanai where you can see the ocean. The pool area is clean and it's lovely to sit out and catch some rays in privacy and comfort. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet within easy and short driving distance from Kailua for food, bars and beaches and also the airport. You never hear a plane. You need to be mindful to keep the kitchen clean and not leave any food out as being a tropical climate the ants are always looking for anything to get their mitts on but we found if you just clean as you go you're fine. We agree with past reviews that we never noticed or had any encounters with Jeff and Janet on the first floor, if they were even there! The only interactions were notes left strategically to call things to our attention which we appreciated. Overall a very relaxing stay. Thank you very much!

Fantastic Oasis!

My husband and I , and his brother and wife stayed here over the 2017 holiday season - we essentially moved in and didn't want to leave. The Kona Retreat has everything you could want in your home away from home - a GREAT kitchen that's fully loaded with any amenities you can think of for preparing meals, an amazing pool and lanai for taking advantage of Kona's gorgeous weather, laundry, pool and beach accessories, comfy beds and pillows, tons of space to lounge - this place is perfect!

Wonderful, peaceful and relaxing!

The property for perfect for our family and we loved our stay there. Jeff is amazing and so pleasant and thoughtful to work with. We spent a week at the property and wish we could have stayed longer. Everything is in top condition and beautifully maintained. There are helpful notes around the house to familiarize you with how stuff works and clear instructions on the counter when you arrive. It is nestled atop a hill which has beautiful views and a nice breeze. It's also an easy hop into town for meals out or shopping. Highly recommended and we'll be back next time we're in Kona!

This was a fantastic get away with all the amenities one could hope for.

This resort was extremely quiet and nothing but the birds disturbed the peace. We picked some grapefruit from one of the trees down by the pool and they were delicious. The house was very roomy and spacious and everything was in working condition. We used the two beach chairs, the towels and the two boogie boards in the shower room for the beach. We had rented our own diving equipment from Jack’s Diving Store so we did not need to use the one which was on property. The kitchen was very well equipped; my friend thought there could have been some more Tupperware containers that were not out of glass to take to the beach. We were about 7 minutes away from fantastic snorkeling and really close to Ali’i Drive. The house did heat up quite a bit during the day, but with all the fans on the air circulated quite nicely and I slept like a log. We sat out on the lanai during breakfast and dinner and that felt so good. Liz was very helpful and came by the first evening of our arrival to unlock one of the upstairs bedrooms. This was my first vacation rental and I was very impressed!

Lovely home in Kona

Our family of 4 stayed here 6 nights. The house was larger than expected, very private and quiet, beds were very comfy. The lanai was spacious, the pool was a bonus. Kitchen was well stocked and Jeff did me the favour of picking up a few groceries before we arrived late at night. The keypad lock battery was tired and Jeff replaced within an hour of the email. There were 3 body boards, several beach chairs, beach umbrella, lots of towel, and a cooler. This was a great setup to get us to the beach with all we needed. One thing I would maybe suggest is a lounger for reading and snoozing - one in the shade. There are a few by the pool but very limited shade. I would definitely recommend this rental, good value in my opinion.

Paradise!

I’m not a big fan of traveling and was really just looking for a nice, quiet, peaceful location to relax. So happy I found this beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood close to town and restaurants and ocean. There are so many beautiful places to see and then to come back to a fully furnished, beautiful home. It was perfect and just makes me want to live there. I’ll be coming back very soon to do the same thing all over again. So happy I found you!

WOW, feels like home but in paradise!

Have stayed now 6 times at the Kona Retreat and could not be happier with everything! The view is great, you can see the ocean and the sunset from the upper lenai, the pool is huge and feels very secluded for when you just want to hang out at the retreat, the landscape is awesome! Huge mango trees and orange/lemon trees as well, love the blooms and atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable, has TV (only for weather info, who has time for TV) kitchen has everything you need to feel at home! Very nice location, within about 10-15 minutes from closest beaches and Kona downtown. Great neighborhood, quiet, clean and always happy faces! Mahalo for the many visits and making us feel at home!

Paradise found

We were a party of 6 adults that came to tour big island for Christmas vacation. Stunning home in quiet neighborhood. Well appointed kitchen, nice furnishings and comfy beds with clean linens. We were shocked by all the space! The pool was perfect to cool off from the heat of the day and the patio was nice for sunset dinners with the breeze and sound of the ocean. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jeff for accommodating our earlier than anticipated arrival!

This is our 3rd stay at the kona retreat since 2002. Each time we arrive at a private paradise that is totally maintained and ready for our arrival. Perfect.location for visiting the attractions, going scuba diving or deep sea fishing, or just eating all the 'ono' food in Kailua town. Highly recommend The Kona Retreat!
