About this property

Peaceful Haven: Oceanfront Views - Steps from Pebble Beach~

Our home is steps from Pebble Beach which provides great access to snorkeling, hiking and is perfectly located to explore the Big Island of Hawaii. You will have exclusive use of a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 car garage house in the Kona Paradise Subdivision, 25 miles south of Kona. The home is located at the bottom of Kaohe Road, 150 yards from Pebble Beach. It is an easy, non-exerting walk (both directions) to your own private, community beach.

You can hear the whales calling (in season) and the waves cascading onto the pebble shore. We have splendid views of the ocean and the mountains from the house and lanai.

Our expansive wrap-around lanai is the perfect place to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, sip a delicious cup of Kona or Kau coffee, check your email and eat a delicious papaya after awaking to the birds chirping and the beautiful hillside beckoning a morning hike. This is paradise!

Our 2-story home is clean and spacious with an open floor plan. It is three bedrooms, two baths with the living room, dining room, lanai, and kitchen on the upper floor and the garage below. The spacious master bedroom has its own sliding door onto the lanai, a plush pillow-top king size bed, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and full wall of windows facing the southern view and lanai. The house has been professionally furnished from the Stanley Coastal Living Resort Collection, Pottery Barn & Pottery Barn Kids. The sunlit guest bedroom features a pillow-top queen bed and shares a full bathroom with the third bedroom, containing two twin beds. All bedrooms, the living room and lanai have ceiling fans. The house is not air-conditioned; however, all windows are screened, there are two sliding doors onto the lanai, and plenty of ocean and mountain breezes. The expansive covered lanai (15' x 30') is easily accessed off of the living room and the master suite. You will find fantastic views and an enjoyable patio dining table and chairs to enjoy quiet mornings or sunset dinners. A new Weber grill is available for your use in the garage.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, hot water kettle, rice cooker, waffle maker and baking pans. The house is on a water catchment system. Please read “rules and policies” for more information.

We are located 25 miles south of Kona and 32 miles south of the airport, off of Highway 11. It is a beautiful, lush and scenic drive past quaint towns and coffee farms. Pebble Beach is a tiny walk from our door. It is a private community, small black pebble beach that offers hiking trail access, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding and diving access. We are also close to Ho'okeena Beach, Pu-uhonua o Honaunau (aka Place of Refuge) and fantastic Two Steps (Snorkeling), The Painted Church, and Kealakekua Bay (Capt Cook Monument). Volcano National Park is 70 miles to the south with great hiking and views.

You will love it here. Come enjoy the paradise!

Comfortable quiet place to stay

The house has a great layout that was comfortable for 6. The views are wonderful, especially the view of the ocean from the deck. It was a very short walk to a quiet little beach which we liked much better than the big-named beaches. The place was easy to keep clean with an outside shower for rinsing off. It’s a bait of a drive for groceries or restaurants, so plan ahead. But the neighborhood is really pretty and this house is beautiful. All around we had a fabulous week.

Just ok

I missed that the property didn't have air conditioning. Not much air movement, even with fans. The beach was rocks, not comfortable to walk on and surf was a bit much for a 7-year-old. Also we were restricted to 5 minute showers. No light at driveway caused two of us to fall in the dark as we were leaving.

Kona getaway

Nice house and Location. A little south of main business so you have to plan to get food, gas etc. Only down side was we we were required to take garbage to the disposal site that is close to the house on our last day but the sites closed on Fridays so we had to scramble a bit to find another location or would have been charged 50 if we left it at the house.

This is in a very peaceful and relaxing environment away from any kind of hussle and bustle of cities. We loved staying here and enjoyed the remote location of this property. For any body looking to stay on the island near Kona I would definitely recommend this property even though is a.bir.of a drive to Kona. The property is very well presented in the pictures and is very accurate to what you aee getting when staying at this property.

Beautiful Location, Read the House Rules

Kona Paradise is a beautiful location. The home had everything to make meals. The communication was prompt with the owner. You’ll want to make sure all of the outside lights turned off and you are responsible to drop off the trash. Think ahead on your way out to run errands.

The location is far enough away from the resort type stuff and perfect for a relaxing get away. We recommend Minehune coffee, and Da Poke Shack, South Kona Fruit Stand was amazing as well. We saw amazing sunsets right off the deck of the house!

Beautiful times in the style of Hawaii of days gone by!

Kona is the perfect place to enjoy Hawaii the way it should be! Still a bit rustic and full of locals. (Not overran with resorts and tons of people all on top of each other.)The beach is a short walk away and the owner is available via the phone if any needs arise! We had a great time!

Big Island stay

This property is great. The walk to the beach is short and pleasant. It was a perfect home base for our exploration of this island. Because of the water retention system, you will be asked to take very short showers and will not be able to use the laundry. But we adapted quickly and enjoyed our stay.

Unbeatable views

This is a great property. The location is amazing given that you know what to expect. Located in the Captain Cook area, it wont be the closest if you want to golf or do other similar activities every day. However, you get such an amazing & quiet experience. If you want a beach to swim with barely anyone around, great hikes nearby, coffee farms and the Volcano Park closer than if you stayed around Kona, this might be the place for you.

Great home, we had a wonderful time

We had a great stay. The house is spacious and we loved sitting outside on the lenai! The house was spotless and the kitchen was so well stocked even with our favorite spices . We moved into the house for a week and enjoyed every minute. The bedrooms are spacious and having the garage and washer & dryer was so nice. The house is so light with all the windows showing the ocean view. Sharyl was quick to respond when we asked a question about parking. We had a wonderful time and we will be back!!

Big island vacation

Nice quite place to stay with great view. We saw whales one morning from the deck. The beach is cool but not not great for swimming. Access to the house is up a steep flight of stairs. Is difficult for the elderly. Need to be aware that there is no trash pick up.

Tranquility Found

This property was amazing overall and very comfortable for a family of 4. The views from the deck were amazing and you could smell the sea air throughout the stay there--even though the ocean is about 200 yards away from the property. You are literally 30 minutes from anything, so the peace and quiet at this property is amazing. That is also true for the stars if the night is clear as this area is far away from a lot of light pollution and you can see a "bowl of stars." Finally, while didn't need much from the owner, she is super responsive, friendly, and gives you a ton of information on what to do in the property (rules) and places to go (pro-tip: take her advice on the secret black-sand beach. It's worth the walk!)Couple of notes if you are planning on staying here (which I would highly recommend):The road in and out of this place is STEEP. They don't believe in switchbacks in this neighborhood at all.While she doesn't mention that the place has AC, I just overlooked that it wasn't listed as an amenity. Coming from cold Colorado nights to Hawaii warm was an adjustment for sure. However, she's got plenty of fans in the house to cool it off and it was very pleasurable listening to the frogs sing at night and the symphony of birds in the morning (except that one bird. It knows who it is.)If we find our way back to the big island again, we'd definitely stay at this place again without hesitation!

This was a nice gem of a stay!

Great place, very accurate description. House was clean and details from the owner was very straightforward and simple. So in terms of the owner and check in, all very excellent. The house has some mosquitos at dusk, so that was annoying but typical in the area. You won’t escape that in any other house! I just noticed they were more than usual than other places we stayed in Captain Cook, Kona, Hilo, etc. The road is also very steep but just fine in any car, but it’s very steep. The best thing about this home was the closeness to Pebble Beach. It has everything. Nice snorkeling, plenty of space. The rocks are not kind to bare feet fyi. Overall this place was excellent and would love to stay again!

Listen to the waves break and see the amazing night sky

I was concerned about the water conservation after reading reviews, but our family of five didn’t have any issues. I didn’t like having to haul away our garbage the last day or that there was no laundry or toiletries provided. The quiet of the neighborhood, after you descend a mile on a very steep grade, makes up for it all. We awoke before 5am each day to enjoy the brilliant stars while hearing the waves break on the rocks. I loved listening to the variety of birds. The house is a little warm for this northern girl, but we spent almost all of our down time on the deck which was great. It’s a good 30 minutes to get to the nearest restaurant, or any civilization, but if you’re looking for quiet and beautiful scenery, this is the place to stay.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed Hawaii and fell in love with the Big Island. We especially enjoy the Kona Paradise neighborhood because it is safe, quiet, friendly and one of few residential areas that has easy access to the beach and coastline. It is located in a beautiful, lush (but not rainy) area of the island near many coffee farms. Our home has excellent proximity to the ocean. You can hear the whales at night and in the morning the birds chirp and your eyes are met with beautiful mountain and ocean views. It is so peaceful.

What makes this property unique

We love the quiet tropical location of Kona Paradise. It is close enough to a number of great attractions but away from the tourista of downtown Kona. We know you will love the tranquility of our beautiful home and the incredible ocean sounds and views.
