Your Very Own Private Hawaiian Resort - Top-Rated, Fully STVR Permitted
Situated facing east to catch the prevailing tradewinds, as well as the morning sunrise, and evening moonrise, the top-rated Hale Ke Kua (Tradewinds House) is a memorable way to relax, unwind and enjoy East Hawaii. Situated on a full acre only 400 yards from the ocean, you can hear the surf break, the whales sing, while enjoying the privacy that only comes with an one house on an entire acre.
Built in 2016, this 3-bedroom 2-bath home offers all the quality and amenities you would need for a great experience, from the high-end stainless appliances and cookware in the kitchen, dining tables for six in the house and on the lanai, 65" TV with Amazon Firestick streaming, as well as a 50" TV in the master suite. The Wi-Fi is 400Mbit+ via Hawaii Telecom, and there is a computer desk, second monitor and mesh office chairs in the 3rd bedroom. There are dual facing loveseats in the living room, and luxurious memory foam mattresses in the individually decorated bedrooms indoors. On the 400 ft2 covered lanai, are a couch, chairs, and seating and dining for six plus an outdoor kitchen, complete with an undercounter refrigerator, sink and Weber gas grill - permanently plumbed into the house propane - no tanks to fill.
Without leaving the property a 12' X 40' salt-water lap pool, outdoor shower, and even a regulation size bocce ball court are just outside the doors.
Less than 30 minutes to south is Pohoiki Beach - the newest beach on earth, a 1/2 crescent of black sand. A must see, along with the Crater at Kilauea. If time and weather align, a guided tour to the top of 13,900 foot Mauna Kea will provide views, a sunset and stargazing experiences available nowhere else on Earth.
We are located about 12 miles south of Hilo, and 10-12 miles by air north of the 2018 Leilani Estates eruption in Lava Zone 1. We are in Lava Zone 3 : 1-5% of Zone 3 has been covered since 1800. We are upwind from the volcanoes, and the tradewinds blow any volcanic gasses away from us. We are also in the HPP 'Banana Belt', receiving about half the annual rainfall of Hilo while typically being 2-4 degrees warmer.

About the host
Hosted by Richard and Bev Johnson
We are a retired couple from Anacortes, WA. My wife is a retired school psychologist and I am was a technology architect for a Fortune 100 company. We visited all the major Hawaiian Islands before deciding on the Big Island and have no regrets. The sheer size of the island means you don't get 'Island Fever', and the less urban environment combined with a more relaxed pace of life make every visit here a joy.
Why they chose this property
It was our plan from the beginning to spend 3-4 months a year here, and share the experience with others the rest of the time. Because of that, the house was built and furnished to the same level as of our mainland house. You can see that in the cabinetry, the quartz counters, the furnishings. We have a well with 5 micron filtration and UV sterilization instead of a catchment system, unlike most houses here, so water is never an issue. We like to shop the farmers markets and the world-famous Suisan fish market, as well as enjoy the occasional Hawaiian grass-fed steak, so we made sure we had a fully equipped kitchen for whatever cuisine you like.
What makes this property unique
With a 40-foot lap pool, either just cooling off, or getting in a little exercise is just steps away from the covered lanai. It's safe to say you'll spend a good deal of time here, because it also is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, Weber Genesis grill with sidecar burner, and sink with hot and cold water. And although all the landscaping isn't fully grown in yet, we hope to have lemons, limes, and papayas, and eventually have bananas, oranges, figs, mangoes, and avocadoes. There's even a regulation Bocce-ball court for some competitive fun for all ages.
