Kohola View
The first thing that greets you when entering this magnificent four-bedroom home is the stunning view of Wailea Bay and the Kohala coastline. From the home’s vantage point on a private oceanfront cliff, Mother Nature is your caregiver--relaxing you with her gently rolling waves, enticing you with white sand beaches just a short walk away and then transfixing you at the end of each day with her colorful sunsets… culminating in Hawaii’s famous “green flash.”
This 3500 square foot cedar home is designed to let the environment envelope you from any spot on the property. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere from a comfortable lounge chair or hammock on the 2300 square foot lanai (patio) before easing into the infinity pool or hot tub. All four bedrooms have ocean views and separate sliding doors opening onto covered lanais. You can rinse away a day of play in the surf and sand under one of the two-hot/cold garden showers.
House design:
Kohola View consists of three detached hales (houses), all with stunning views of the ocean. In the center of the estate is the main hale, which we call the “Pavilion.” This spacious great-room features a professional kitchen with an island work station, fully equipped bar, and a seating area with a sizeable custom designed down sofa. Additional features of the Pavilion are a koa dining table, a full bath with a walk-in shower and an efficient laundry room. Should you need to reach the outside world; the home is equipped with a high-speed, wireless internet connection.
“Alison’s Hale” on the north end of the property, has two ocean-view bedrooms plus a full bath with both indoor and outdoor showers. The larger of the two bedrooms has a mini refrigerator. Both bedrooms have entrances from the covered lanai as well as an adjacent outdoor seating area. In addition to the ocean and pool views from this hale, outside each window, lush tropical plantings flourish.
“Anne’s Hale” on the south side of the Pavilion, also has two bedrooms and one full bath, which have a tub/shower combination. Additionally there is a small living area with two twin punees (day beds), which can be a fun children’s sleeping area, or, upon request, the twins can be joined to make a larger bed. This hale also has seating areas on the lanai and spectacular views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape including a very contented Buddha lounging in the garden.
This home is managed on behalf of the owners, by Mary Fox, R(B) 2 Papayas, LLC. Mary holds an active real estate broker's license in the State of Hawaii.

A perfect vacation home!

The home is everything you expect from the photos and more. The layout was perfect for our extended family. The beautiful beach is just a minute's walk from the house and we immediately spotted a sea turtle just a few yards from the shore. The beach was not crowded at all. The home is spotless, well-equipped and stocked as though expecting dear friends, not paying guests: cold damp towels in the fridge, Kona coffee, fruit and snacks, brand new beach towels, well stocked with supplies and clean beach toys. Kudos to Mary for taking such good care of the house and the guests. I hope we have the opportunity to visit again.

Let's do a RE-DO

Can't imagine anything better. Had my husband's 50th (surprise) week here! And was it ever! Morning walks, very remote, perfect home for kitchen creations. Magical place and Mary was very informative and typical aloha spirit. Having a car is a must and making the trip to get all the food in one trip is also a must. Great whale watching too! We are figuring out how we can do a RE-DO!!!

We rented this amazing home a year ago and apologize for not writing sooner. We have told everyone we know about our incredible stay! Mary could not have been more helpful, from greeting us on the road, to showing us the way to the home and helping with things that came up She even had fresh papayas waiting for us! The home is breathtaking the moment you see it. Upon entering... instant relaxation! The living area is very comfortable but we spent most of our time by the spectacular pool! The kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms were very comfortable but lack privacy. The walk to the beach was short, the water was ideal with a nice sandy beach. We would go down to swim in the ocean every day, returning to the pool to relax! The owners thought of everything when planning this home, the outside showers are perfect! We are dreaming of our next trip. There were six of us, two couples, and two single women. My husband and I have stayed in Kona twice and knew that we wanted to turn left out of the airport! We went to Costco and Safeway after landing to stock up on food and really didn't need much 'til later in the week. The walk to Hapuna beach is interesting over the rugged terrain, fun to explore but we really didn't need to leave the house! Thanks again!

Our family was in great need of getting away from it all and having some private, quality, quiet rest and relaxation. Being picky travelers we searched and searched to try to find the perfect rental home. Our search led us to the Kohola View where we stayed from March 8th through the 19th. Upon arrival my first thought was that the property looked just like the pictures. The house is perfectly located with less than a two minutes walk down to one of the best beaches in Hawaii. Several times we met people on the beach that had driven 25 minutes or more to get to the beach. It was nice to know I was two minutes from my kitchen, bathroom and private pool and hottub. Early mornings and evenings at the beach as we literally had the beach to ourselves. We hunted shells in the early morning and chased crabs after dark. Wailea Bay is a wonder place to spend two weeks and not be bored. Each morning we snorkeled with beautiful coral, fish, turtles, eels, and twice we were treated to seeing a small octopus. We saw whales through out every day and it was great to watch the mother whales teach the baby whales to breach, tail slap and fin slap. The house has everything you need to walk in and live comfortably. It felt like it is was own house with the great cook ware, appliances, beds, and pillows. Mary from 2Papayas was great to work with and made the rental experience easy and stress free from making the reservation, through getting us to the house from the airport, to returning the rental deposit. The house met or exceeded the expectations that Mary set. I've traveled all over the world and Kohola View is one of the places that you should visit. I think the final thought on the house is what our seven year old son said when I asked him about how he like the vacation. He said, "I hope that is what it is like in heaven."
Owner response:Thank you thank you, we enjoyed have you at the house, too, and hope you will return to "heaven"

We spent the first of what we hope to be many wonderful weeks at this lovely Wailea Bay home Jan. 14-21 of 2009. Our family of 8 joined us here on the island and from this beautiful home we enjoyed whales, huge waves, perfect dinners and sunsets. Words can only begin to describe what this time together meant to all of us. Thank you.

Fabulous house with spectacular view, great living space, privacy, and wonderful pool. The kitchen was very well equipped. Terrific snorkeling a short walk away. Perhaps our best rental experience ever.

We stayed at the house in Novemner with 3 other couples following a wedding. We absolutely loved the house and really hope to return again one day. Unlike some other rental houses we have stayed in, this house was perfect. It is a VERY short walk to the wonderful Beach 69 (which offers great snorkeling-dolphins on our last day!!) We loved the pool as well. The house was stocked with every possible ammenity and Mary was a wonderful host.
Owner response:The wedding was held at another location but we did enjoy having the wedding guests stay with us, Mary
