About this property

Rare Beauty and Luxury at Kealakekua Bay

Your hosts Tammy and Joe are committed to providing a 5-star experience. The home is maintained in immaculate condition with the highest levels of spotless cleaning before you check in.

The property is very private with secure gated access. Parking at the guest house for up to two cars. Our guests are to park under the carport that we had built. This property is truly one of the most beautiful and luxurious in the entire Kealakekua Bay area. If you are seeking privacy and luxury, our guest house is perfect for you. Our primary focus and goal is to make sure that you have the utmost superb vacation on the Big Island. It’s our pleasure to help and assist in any and every way possible. We love to host repeat guests and some have even become personal friends.

Both bedrooms have California king beds with 100% pure cotton sheets and Tommy Bahama quilts or comforter sets. There are 2 robes per closet for the use of our guests. Both bathrooms have had an extensive design remodel and are fully stocked with the following: Bluetooth speakers, showers built for two, shampoo/conditioner, blow dryer, curling iron, flat iron, Q-tips, cotton balls and cotton pads, vanity magnifying mirror, organic chlorine-free feminine hygiene products, and scale, plus each bathroom has a basket of products for our guests’ exclusive use. The bathrooms have beautifully designed custom travertine floors.

The kitchen is truly fully stocked for a chef and loaded with the following: gas range stove and oven, French style doors fridge/freezer with ice maker, reverse osmosis filtered water system, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, panini press maker, spiralizer, rice cooker, electric griddle, George Forman indoor grill, 12 piece rocket blender, 7 quart crockpot, air fryer, InstaPot, Ninja professional blender, coffee pot, bean grinder, French press, Keurig, small “pod” Nespresso compatible machine, instant hot water warmer, hand mixer, Kitchen Aid large mixer, glass and plastic mixing bowls, baking ware, cookie sheets, pots and pans, silverware, knives set, steak knives, kitchen utensils, grilling utensils, baking ware, basic condiments and spices, ice tub for chilled beverages outside. There is much more for kitchen that isn’t listed for Tammy is adding items here and there.

Truly an unusually well-equipped kitchen that is perfect for those who enjoy making their own meals or have special dietary needs. If there’s something that we have not included in the guest house that you need please let us know and we will accommodate you the best we can; we might even have it from our kitchen.

We also have very impressive fully stocked barware if you are into enjoying cocktails, wine, champagne and beer. Beer mugs are in the freezer chilling and we also have 4 “round” craft cocktail ice trays in the freezer as well. Tammy tried to think of everything that our guests could possibly need in order to make the cocktails of their choice. Again, if there is something that isn’t in the barware please reach out for we just might have it at our house.

There is a dining room table for four and an outside patio table for four on the main lanai. Both tables have beautiful tablecloths and a tasteful candlelight centerpiece that is remote-operated.

Fast and reliable internet Wifi included. Wifi units in both bedrooms and in the living room. The living room has 55” 4K HD TV with digital cable. There is a Bluetooth sound bar system for the tv. Please note that cellular service is weak here with Verizon being the only carrier that works with one to two bars of signal. Internet communications through Wifi work great.

We have various card and board games for some additional fun and pleasure. There’s a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, iron, ironing board, garment steamer and drying rack.

We had a beautiful outdoor grilling gazebo built with an outdoor propane grill and grilling accessories. The views of Kealakekua Bay from the grill are breathtaking.

We offer the following beach gear: snorkeling gear, masks, fins, Tommy Bahama beach chairs, Tommy Bahama beach umbrella, soft cooler bags, hard rolling cooler, blue ice packs in the freezer to help keep your items chilled, plush beach towels, beach blanket, 4 beach mats, backpack style picnic basket complete with a blanket and wine bottle carrier attachments for 4, plus many other little things to make your beach time the most comfortable as possible. Please enjoy the outside shower which has hot and cold running water while taking in all the fabulous views. It’s located by the hot tub gazebo structure that’s perfect for taking in a sunset or evening soak gazing up at the beautiful Hawaiian sky filled with beautiful and bright stars. The hot tub has a waterfall feature as well as a various color light feature.

We also have a small orchard right behind the guest house that is completely organic and our guests are welcome to pick and harvest anything that we currently have in season. We have starfruit, soursop, papayas, mangoes, oranges, lemons, Kaffir limes, Tahitian limes, ruby red grapefruits, figs, and bananas.

Please note that smoking inside the house is strictly prohibited. We are a medical marijuana friendly property. You must enjoy your medicine outside. Hawaii is not retail so you must have a valid “Hawaii 329A” medical card. You must obtain your legal license prior to your arrival.
** All guests must be over the age of 18 and we do reserve the right to verify all ages of guests with a proper and valid identification.
Please Read: Animals and Insects
We have an outdoor cat, Mittens. No animals are ever allowed inside the guest house and it is allergen free. But Mittens will come over and say hi outside during your visit. Also, we have three miniature horses in a fenced pasture several hundred feet down the hill from the guest house. If exposure to these animals is not to your liking, please do not book this guest house.

Also, Hawaii is a tropical climate, and this guest house is at ground level in a natural setting surrounded by fields and woods. Animals and insects abound in this ecosystem year-round. At this guest house you will encounter animals and insects. There will be singing birds, mongoose, gecko lizards, and insects around the exterior of the house. You may even find a gecko lizard or insects inside the house during your stay. We as hosts do all we can to minimize geckos and insects in the interior, including maintaining all screens and weather stripping on the doors and using a monthly pest control service. Nevertheless, it is possible that a gecko lizard will dart in an open door. While geckos are harmless, they may be difficult or impossible to catch once in the house. It is also likely that you will find some insects inside the house during your stay. The most common type to get in are millipedes, which are black or red in color and 1" long. They can get through the smallest cracks around the bottom of the sliding screen doors. They do not bite and will not hurt you but are a nuisance on the floor. They are slow moving and easy to sweep up and remove.

Please consider this ecological setting before booking. Because this natural ecosystem is part of the setting for this guest house, and we want to be clear about this before you book, no refunds or cancellations will be given for animals and insects.

Please note: Hawaii State and County transient accommodation taxes and general excise sales taxes are added by VRBO when you book. Taxes are subject to change without notice.

Please note: long-term stay cleaning service. If staying for 3 weeks or longer, an additional cleaning service is required during your stay at a rate of $52 per hour. The cleaning time may be one that is mutually acceptable, and you will need to reimburse the hosts directly for this service by cash or check.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
