This lovely, well cared for home is a welcome retreat centrally located at the southern tip of the Big Island. While spared tourist crowds, this home is easily accessible to most all sites on this amazing island. The Volcano National Park, Punaluu black sand beach and turtles, whale watching, the sweet town of Naalehu and Kae Lae (South Point) famous for it's pounding surf, and world famous Green Sands beach, are all within easy driving distance. My home is situated 50miles from Kona and 60mile from Hilo and you can travel to both sides of the island for a day on the town while experiencing the unique charm of this very special place.
My home has 3 bedrooms,2 baths, a wonderful covered lanai with nothing between you and a 180 degree ocean vista, except our large, welcoming pool. This is the perfect pied a terre for exploring this magnificent island or simply lounging in the beauty of the house or on the lanai surrounded by tropical gardens. The trade winds come through most days maintaining soft breezes and perfect temperatures. Help yourself to the papayas and bananas growing on the grounds and experience Hawaii at its' best. As well as a spacious living area and tropical landscaping, the house comes complete with washer and dryer, bikes and a grill for local fish or grass fed beef you may choose for your dinner. Local farmer's markets abound in Naalehu just 2 miles away, Volcano Village, Hilo and Kona. Discovery Harbour is in the heart of the Kau district of the Big Island, making a name for itself with internationally acclaimed coffee. You can sample Kau coffee at the Coffee Mill about 10miles away, at the local 'Flyin Hawaiian' coffee truck in Naalehu featured in Sunset magazine and at the Orchid Farm just up the road from the house on south Point Rd. The beautiful Tibetan temple in Wood Valley is just beyond the Coffee Mill and is an inspiring retreat visited by the Dalai Lama; visitors are always welcomed by the monks who care for the grounds.
If you require a connection to your real world, there is cable TV and internet connections included. Also, you'll find a great supply of board games, a Bose docking station for your favorite music and wonderful neighborhood strolls to keep you occupied.
So if you are truly in search of a place to relax and recharge, you'll want to consider this true island getaway.
