About this property

Remodeled Kona Home w/Panoramic Ocean Views & Vibrant Sunsets

Authentic Hawaiian luxury meets modern-day sophistication at this recently renovated Kona retreat, just 10 minutes from the beach and airport. The home was thoughtfully designed with both comfort and elegance in mind, blending natural materials like teak, mahogany, and travertine with modern designer finishes. Backlit quartz counters, Restoration Hardware furnishings, and high-end appliances set the stage for a stay that feels both indulgent and relaxed.

What makes this property truly unique is the way it combines luxury with an authentic island experience. At 1,500 feet elevation, the climate stays comfortably cool while offering panoramic views of the coastline and some of the most stunning sunsets in Kona. The living room embraces open-air island design — its screened windows don’t close, allowing the Hawaiian breeze to flow through and connect you directly with the beauty of nature. Whether you’re relaxing in the freestanding Japanese soaking tub, rinsing off in the expansive travertine walk-in shower, or simply lounging with the evening trade winds, every space has been created to invite relaxation.

Entertainment is at the heart of this home, too. Movie lovers can gather for a private cinema experience on the 100-inch projector, while those who enjoy a great drink will appreciate the custom wet bar with petrified wood counters — perfect for mixing a craft cocktail after a day at the beach.

Every detail of this property was chosen to create an environment that feels special:

- Expansive ocean and sunset views from multiple areas of the home

- Indoor/outdoor living that connects you with the natural beauty of Hawaii

- A unique blend of modern design and island-inspired materials

- Open-air living room designed to welcome the trade winds

- Carefully curated furnishings and finishes that create both comfort and sophistication

It’s also worth noting: this home has character. While it is elegant, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, it’s not “perfect” in the cookie-cutter sense. Guests may notice little quirks or imperfections that come with a unique property — but that’s part of its charm. We believe these details add to the home’s funky, one-of-a-kind personality and make the experience more authentic.

Please note: there are other rentals on the property. Each is fully separate and private, but you may see other guests around the grounds or in the shared game room. We encourage everyone to bring a little aloha spirit — say hello, share a smile, or swap a travel story. Guests often find that these chance encounters add to the warmth and community of the stay.

This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a home that reflects a love for design, hospitality, and the spirit of Hawaii. From the quiet Palisades neighborhood to the custom interior touches, every element is here to help guests feel connected, inspired, and cared for during their time in Kona.

A Perfect Stay in Paradise

I had such a wonderful experience at this property! The home was clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was peaceful and tucked away in the hills, offering quiet mornings and amazing views—yet still close enough to town and beaches when I wanted to explore.The host was kind, communicative, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel welcoming. It was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge after long days adventuring around the island.I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay on the Big Island!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Akiba

Host profile image
I grew up swimming in the ocean in Newport Beach, later found inspiration in the desert landscapes of Palm Springs, and now spend part of the year in Kona. Along the way, I’ve built a life around things I love — home design, skiing, cooking, and even mixing a great craft cocktail. Hosting vacation rentals lets me bring those passions into the guest experience, creating spaces where people can relax, connect, and enjoy a memorable stay. Mahalo!

Why they chose this property

The Palisades neighborhood is a quiet, residential area just minutes from the airport and close to some of Kona’s best beaches. Sitting at about 1,500 feet elevation, it enjoys a cooler climate with refreshing breezes — perfect after a warm day by the ocean. Guests love the peaceful setting, convenient location, and the chance to experience a more local side of Kona while still being close to everything.

What makes this property unique

This home blends authentic Hawaiian living with modern design — from teak and travertine finishes to panoramic ocean sunsets and private spas. The open-air living room lets the island breeze flow through, creating a true indoor/outdoor experience. It’s elegant and comfortable, but also funky and unique, with little quirks and imperfections that give it character and charm.
