Kohala Ranch vacation rentals

Great location, stunning views with daily wildlife viewing, delicious breakfasts, very comfortable space, immaculate swimming pool and hot tub, beach gear, easy access to many beaches, snorkeling, a dive shop for gear rental, a seafood market with delicious, fresh poke bowls, and a nearby tiki bar/restaurant with a great happy hour (seafood bar and grill). Also near a couple of historic parks, and a short drive to Hawi and Waimea.The hostess is delightful. The kitchen has a full sized fridge (stocked with coffee, milk/creamer, and juice), granola bars and cereal was made available. There is also a toaster, coffee grinder, and a grill.There is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in the bathroom.

It is located in a quiet and private location, with sweeping sunset views and away from the most heavily touristed areas of the Kona coast. That said, it's close enough to access restaurants, and proved to be a great jumping off point for touring much of the island when not just drawn to staying put in a comfortable house with an extremely well-equipped kitchen.

Great place

Each morning was spent enjoying the quiet environment with birds chirping, the occasional rafter of wild turkeys gobbling, hawks, owls, etc. while looking out an an incredible view. At 1,700 ft or so of elevation, the temperature is nearly perfect, with 85 degree days, and 65-70 degree nights. The caretaker, Bob, is amazing, and was extremely helpful when we had any questions. The house is generally a Mexican hacienda style, with excellent airflow and needs no AC. Old beams from a sugarcane barn are used to great effect in the house's design, and lend an air of history. The house layout sets the master bedroom, master bathroom and a small bunk room separated from the main house by a breezeway. Although there were just three of us, this would work well for two families.The kitchen is well stocked with essential tools, and the BBQ is excellent. We enjoyed the small pool and the sitting area next to it, as well as the large covered (shaded) lanai. The use of included beach chairs and snorkels, etc. was great.

We loved our stay here and ca Not wait to go back. Everything went smoothly.
