Tropical, with an ocean view

Stunning property. Not our first time to the islands and the grounds were just what we love. Beautiful sunsets. Older home and decor, but very clean and has everything you may need for your stay.

A Kona Paradise with Stunning Views and Vibrant Nature

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful Kona Paradise in Hawaii. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and at home. The house itself was cozy and well-designed, offering the perfect space to relax. The kitchen was a standout—extremely well-equipped with everything I needed to cook and feel right at home. The yard was a tropical paradise, filled with a beautiful array of plants, which really added to the overall charm of the place. We especially loved how serene it was, and at night, the sounds of the birds singing created a peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a slice of paradise! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway.

Excellent house on a slope

Great house! Excellent ocean view in a secluded area of South Kona. House is old but clean. Has everything we need for our family to cook, relax, snorkel. Very steep slope to walk back to the house from the beach below so make sure you drive.Host is amazing and always checking in to make sure we have everything we need.Location is a bit remote, grocery store is 20 minutes by car.But in general we enjoy our stay.

Incredible location and views!

We really enjoyed our stay in Captain Cook. The gardens and views from the deck were absolutely amazing. Felt right at home. Loved hearing the birds chirping and walking thru your gardens. Communication with owner was very good. Beds were comfortable and home had all the supplies we needed. Our family hiked the pebble beach trail nearby and the views were just amazing. Important to drive down though to pebble beach and not attempt to walk as the hike back up the hill is challenging. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and artwork with our family!

Absolute Paradise!

As amazing as the photos on this listing are, they don't even really do justice to how spectacular it is. The view is as good as you can find anywhere in Hawaii, and we watched sunset every evening from the lanai. Easy access to lots of beaches without ever needing to go into Kona.

A very relaxing place to stay

The home is very well equipped and exceptionally well decorated with a variety of original artwork. It feels like a home rather than a rental. The on-site (downstairs) caretaker, Vee, is very caring and helpful without being intrusive. This was a very relaxing place to stay.

Paradise Found

Amazing place to stay on the Big Island, set in a veritable Garden of Eden. Beautifully decorated, furnished, and hosted, the house is quiet, with beautiful ocean views and spectacular sunsets. We were lulled to sleep every night by Island breezes and the chirping of tree frogs. We loved every second of our stay and we would love to stay there again. Great location too.

Perfect stay for my wife and I, and a friend. The views were just as shown, we enjoyed our mornings on the deck having coffee and breakfast, then at the end of the day, sunset. The pictures were all as shown. Vee, our hostess was a delight. We would love to come back here next time.

Supportive owners

Owners were incredibly responsive and helpful. Good directions to find property and lots of signs in house with instructions. Nice house, as described. Wonderful views from deck, though have your bug spray handy. Research the location as it is a drive to anywhere and if comfortable with that it is a good place to be. Local beach (black lava shingle - shoes required) is close but drive to it unless you are into hill climbing. An abundance of geckos around property; fun but occasionally messy. No BBQ. Trash/recycling a couple of miles away and easy to navigate.

Just perfect

This place is absolutely gorgeous! The views, the garden and the hospitality. We had everything we needed. Our son loved watching the geckos and looking for critters in the stunning garden. We were serenaded by coqui frogs and birds at night and slept like babies. Vee is the hostess with the mistress. Definitely much better than staying in town.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Croci

Host profile image
My husband and I love the ocean. We are both artists and have taken our home and turned it into an artistic getaway! We enjoy being in Hawaii and the Big Island, as it stills has the feeling of 'olde Hawaii,' and country. You will love the location and the smell of plumerias outside the bedroom windows. The blue warm ocean is perfect for swimming with much of the time sunny. We really love providing a wonderful vacation experience for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home as our retreat from the big city. We wanted a space where we could create and Ron, as a professional artist, could paint. So now Ron has created so many beautiful paintings that decorate this beautiful home. It makes it even more special for us.
We have alot of life around like geckos, that makes this property charming. Our little friends keep us company on the lanai!

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the quiet and the privacy of the tropical gardens. The ocean and coastline view is 180 degree and you can see all the way down the coast on clear days! This is a very special property and we know you, your friends and family will enjoy all the great amenities, privacy and great beach location!! Everyone should know that we surrounded by a tropical environment and we have critters, like geckos around. Since we are surrounded by tropics, at times you can encounter our littles friends in the house. Geckos are completely harmless. And cute.
