There is a large koi pond and waterfalls at the front entrance to the home with covered parking under the Portico.
Relax in the hot tub at night and you can clearly see the stars while an intoxicating fragrance of Angel Trumpet trees floats gently on the night breeze.
There are 3 bedrooms on the upper level - a large master bedroom with a king size 4-poster bed (pillow top mattress and down pillows). An oval jetted tub in the master bath and private deck with 180-ocean view for relaxation and privacy. Two other bedrooms upstairs have queen 4 poster beds with pillow top mattresses & down pillows--one has a private deck and they share a full bath. (All bedrooms have TV/cable).
On the main level there are 3 bedrooms, one with a king size rattan Tommy Bahama poster bed--also pillow top & down, and a bedroom with queen bed with pillow top mattress.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This home is at the perfect elevation (not too cold, not too hot). In Kona, temperature is not dependant on season, but on elevation. At sea level it's a constant baking 90-95. Here at the 1500' level it's a comfortable 80-85 during day, and 70-75 at night. King Kamehameha had his Royal Gardens planted up here so he could watch his gardens growing as he fished in Kona Bay. It's lush, green, peaceful, comfortable. Truly paradise.

Wonderful house for family gathering
Guest: Ann
(Dallas, Texas)
Date of Stay: 07/03/11
Review Submitted: 07/14/11
Our family of 11 stayed in the house for 5 nights while celebrating our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The house was perfect, with everything we needed for a great vacation for travelers ages 7 to 73. The house is on a beautiful hill directly inland from Kailua-Kona (about 15 minutes drive). Tina was such a helpful host! She lives in another house on the property and did so much to make our stay enjoyable. We were anticipating a late arrival, and she offered to pick up some essential groceries for us at Costco so we wouldn't have to go shopping before breakfast! One of my daughters left a small makeup bag when we checked out. Tina called us and immediately shipped it back to the mainland. It arrived one day after we did! All the amenities of the house were great! We especially enjoyed the billiards table, the hot tub and the shed full of beach toys including boogie boards. Also, each bedroom had a TV which was nice. We used the gas grill several times to cook amazing meals at sunset, and the kids enjoyed playing croquet on the lawn!

The owner could not have been more accomodating for our large group, the vacation home was just perfect for our large family vacation. This is our second time here as it was so wonderful the first time the year before. The facilities are just awesome with the pools, hot tub and numerous bedrooms. The pictures and accomodations were just as decribed. Being up on the side of the mountain was just wonderful with the view of the Kona Coast below. The owner took our kids orange and avocado picking, then showed the kids where the macadamia nut trees were so they could collect nuts to crack and eat. She did everything possible to once again make our stay as relaxing and wonderful as possible. If you have a large or small group this is the perfect vacation spot on the Kona coast for you.

Beautiful House
Guest: Danielle
(Orange County, CA)
Date of Stay: 02/25/11
Review Submitted: 03/08/11
The house was beautiful, very clean and organized. Many cabinets were labeled, which made it very convenient to find things. 5 out of the 12 people who stayed for the week were kids under 6. They all were very comfortable at the property. The house is located about 1000 feet in elevation in the Kona Coffee District. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get to down town Kona. You need a car if you are staying here. Also the owner lives on the property (In another house), which we didn't know before arriving. We hardly knew she was around other than the two times she walked in the backyard to relay a message instead of knocking on the front door. With all that said it still was a good vacation. I would recommend it for a family style vacation.
Owner response: We are so happy to hear our guests were happy with our house! We want to make this the best ever vacation experience for our guests. These guests (w/5 kids) arrived 6 hours early (just off plane from CA) the day of check in. Although we had a turnaround (previous guests leave at 10:30 AM and new ones in at 3 PM) the cleaning staff helped them stow their luggage, gave them a spot to change into bathing suits, gave them beach towels, ice & cooler, and a map to the beach so they wouldn't waste one minute of vacation time. The 5 kids w/adults were often enjoying the sunny weather by playing games in the back yard (facing the ocean). There is a big assortment of yard games and beach equipment on site. We helped our guest find the best luau for her wedding reception, the best beach to get married on, gave her a referral for the best limousine service, and scanned documents for her to email to the mainland. If you are in the back yard playing games or in the swimming pool, and you want us to find/contact you, naturally we will look for you in the yard. Otherwise we stay out of your way! We are here to make your vacation stress free and enjoyable--but only if you ask us for something--other than that--you will never know we are here.

We had our wedding at the house during our stay and most of our guests stayed at the house. We had such a great week, enjoying the pools, the barbecues we had on the lanai and the large, clean home. Tina was extremely helpful and always ready to lend a hand (especially during the chaos of the wedding day!) We had a beautiful sunset the night of the wedding.. couldn't have been more lovely!

This is an awesome place to go and stay. We enjoyed everything about it, was a very immaculate house with a huge yard which was the same. The pools were great with all the lava rocks and foilage around. Tina was the nicest hostess and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. So many great places to eat just on Ali' drive. Also a great snorkeling beach on Ali' drive for beginners to people who are really good. Fish are very close to shore for all to see. Some of our crew went on a night dive with the manta rays, 2 snorkeled and 2 were certified divers. They love it! Things to do for all ages at this house. Great views we wouldn't stay anywhere else and this is our 4th time to the island. The kona village luau is great also. We recommend this place to everyone.

Awesome place on the big Island!

Review Submitted: 08/23/10
This was our 4th time to the big island of Hawaii, our first time on this property. The property was immaculate and the scenery awesome. From the second floor we could see all the way down to the Ali Drive strip and see the cruise ships. The grounds were impeccable,the swimming pools and hot tub awesome. Tina is a great hostess and owner that made us feel very welcome and was extremely helpful. Everything was there to enjoy your trip. Beach towels, washer and dryer which was very nice to have. There is a walmart and Sav-u not to far from the house itself. Many great restaurants on the island, some of our family did the night dive with the manta rays which they loved two snorkeled and two are certified divers both enjoyed it tremendously. We also enjoyed the quietness of the house after a long day of sight-seeing. You really need to check this place out if it's available in the time period that you're looking for.,

I had a wedding around this area so my whole family and friends stayed in this house. Are you looking for some place where has everything you need. Shopping, food, activity, and very nature. My family loved loved this house. They even picked fresh macadamia, avocado, fruits from real trees. We made food out of those guacamole , macadamia salad...etc...etc.. seating at the porch, enjoy the view, play some pool game.jacuzzi. fresh air.. you don't even need AC. everybody says it was such a great time to reunion whole family as well. Thank you Tina!

It is not until you are home that you truly realize the beauty of the home and it's surroundings. Tina could not have been nicer or more accomadating, going out of her way to make our stay great. The kids loved chasing geckos on the veranda and the grown ups loved the view and breeze. The house is full of everything you could possibly need or want and more. Our group of 9 never felt cramped and we all enjoyed the comfortable beds and incredible views of Kona and the sunsets. If ever we are lucky enough to return we will definatley be staying at out "Kona Home".
