Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Milolii
After coming to the Big Island several times,and looking at many areas, we decided we loved the climate of our area and the breathtaking views. Almost always sunny and not nearly the amount of humidity as other parts of the island. Plus, the nightly breezes made it very comfortable.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We like the location of our place because it is out of the hustle and bustle of city life and close to many great beaches and attractions. It is ideal if you would like to explore the island. You can choose to go to Hilo or Kona for the day. The ocean view is awesome. You can see to Kona and sometimes Maui. The seclusion and tranquility is wonderful. The sunsets are unforgetable and the stars are epic.
This is a beautiful Palm tree lined beach that is great swimming, snorkeling, and beachcombing. Most of the time there are very few (if any) people here, especially during the week.
From here you can Kayak, snorkel, swim, fish, or just check out the tidepools.

We loved our stay on the Big Island most of all because of this lovely home. The location is perfect- between Kona and the Volcano- so every morning we would pack up the car and start up the drive, not yet making up our mind which way to go-snorkel or Volcano. If the sky was dark we would just go the opposite direction. That is the beauty of the location, you do not feel stuck. This house is stunning. We have a brand new baby and never worried laying around with her on the floors-it was spotless and felt brand new, and so gorgeous. Vaulted ceilings, incredible bathroom, perfect bedroom, and an amazing ocean view. We cooked on the grill, lounged in the hot tub after our days snorkeling and hiking around the volcanos, and simply relaxed. You can't do that in a hotel. Another great feature is the gear- everything you need to go play is at this house- even a kayak. Coolers, beach towels and chairs- so wonderful. The house is incredibly quiet and you will sleep like you haven't slept in years- even with a new baby! After a rough day in paradise this is the perfect secluded relaxing place to be. The local beach was a big surprise- rated very high in the travel books-just a few minute drive from the house- we had it all to ourselves each time we went down there- and the water was heavenly. We were welcomed with open arms by the fantastic owners and our baby was spoiled and pampered! I felt as if we were visiting very good friends who told us about the best things to go see and what to do and off we went. The quality of the home, the immediate relaxation you feel when you walk in the door, the hospitality of the owners, these things can't be beat. We can't recommend this home more highly- except to give it the highest compliment, and that will be a return visit.

After worring about the initial drive, Once I arrived and saw the property,I remembered why I left Alaska to get away from the grind. My thoughts were put to rest after meeting Albert and feeling like we were old friends, Bear was a well mannered, patient outside guest here and was there in the mornings and at various times.He never got in my way at all.I finally made it to Honomolino Beach, and it changed my whole trip. I decided to stay another week. Forget the beaches up North, this is what Hawaii is all about.The home was clean, stocked, in order and the hot tub was Awesome. So I highly recommend this property, especially for couples, I'm traveling alone, and am getting along better with myself than ever! Serously, check this place out.

Written in our guestbook on March 17, 2011- Marsal & Albert, Thank you soo very much for sharing your lovely home with us. Your dog "Bear" is the best! Your home is very nice and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay on the Big Island. Our favorite place to eat was the Kona Brewery and our favorite thing to do was the BIEA Zipline. The best beach was Hookena. We would not hesitate to come back and stay again!

Written on March 3, 2011 in our guestbook- Dear Marsal & Albert, Thank you sooo much for the use of your beautiful guest house. It was so nice to be greeted by "Bear". We have two dogs at home so it was very comforting to have him close by. We loved the peacefullness of Milolii. The birds in the morning and the awesome view. Best place we ate was Bamboo in Hawi. Favorite things we did: -Hiked and snorkeled at Captain Cooks Monument -Manta Ray night snorkel Only regret is not being able to stay longer! Thanks again for all the personal touches and hospitality.

We stayed at this hale from mid December into early days of 2011. Prior arrangements and booking went smoothly and we were happy with the contact from the owners. The place is just like on the website and has all the comforts of home. My son slept on the futon and had no complaints, the main bed is so comfortable - fantastic mattress - which is so important when you are away from home for long periods. We did our research and were aware of the distance from Kailua and planned accordingly, however, it is important to know this so that you stock up on food and any necessities since there really isn't much nearby. The local beach is a short hike in and has some dodgy 'keep out signs' but if you press on will be pleasantly surprised - the beach is gorgeous and very quiet...some mornings we were the only ones! We trekked further on above the rocks and went to a cove below which is a beautiful velvet white sand beach and the water was crystal clear. Snorkelling was fabulous here. Just be aware of 'keep out signs' and be respectful since the locals are very protective of their land. We burned alot of fuel and visited lots of beaches and sites around the island and were very happy to get home in the evenings to this cottage. It was warm, comfortable and an enjoyable place to kick back and relax. We loved having Bear visit us on a daily basis, very friendly and we still miss him. A great place to stay, we can't wait to visit again. Best wishes, Monica + Gabor and Oliver
Owner response:Monica, Gabor and Oliver, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at "The Pineapple Express". We strive to keep our guests comfortable and give them that "at home" feel. We are also glad you were able to enjoy our beautiful beach. Many times our guests will tell us they see dolphins in the bay, and sometimes they have been able to snorkel around them. I'm sure Bear misses you too. We hope to see you again in the future. Thank you for choosing our home for your vacation. Aloha, Marsal & Albert Vanetti

My husband and I had a beautiful time at the Pineapple Express Last Novermber. We had just got done island hopping around Maui and Oahu and we're ready to experience the laid back atmosphere of the Big Island. The Pineapple express was just that. Laid Back. Sitting above Milolii we had a great view of the ocean and saw some beautiful sunsets. it was nice because we were able to save some money by buying our own groceries and that gave us more time and money to go see the volcano and the lava flowing out into the ocean and go wine tasting at Volcano Winery...not to mention surfing and snorkeling in Kona and the black sand beaches. The Pineapple express was perfect for a couple and was clean and cozy. I could have easily moved in permanently. If I make it to the Big Island again, I will definitely see if we can stay there again. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at the Pineapple Express for our honeymoon in September!! The guesthouse was beautiful, the view was amazing, and the area was just what we were hoping for: quiet and comfortable. Thank you for making our week on the Big Island that much more enjoyable! Hopefully we will be able to make it out there again!
