Absolute paradise on earth…extremely well appointed house…wonderful outdoor kitchen and living room…turtles and eels just feet away from the living room every morning.Fantastic location!The only hiccup was the electronic gate control was broken making going in and out a bit of a pain. The owners were actively working to rectify that situation.It is expensive, but well worth it in our opinion. Would definitely return again

Tranquil retreat
Such a beautiful place right on the water, we never wanted to leave. The full kitchen had everything we needed, loved that it was outside. Enjoyed the sunsets and the surfers. Bed was so comfortable. Location was great, out of the main, busy Kona area yet close enough that it was a quick drive.

Amazing location!
The location of this home is just stunning. We never got sick of sitting in the outdoor living space and watching the surfers. There’s pretty much every amenity you could want, although we wished we had brought an outdoor.

We stayed here during the Ironman World Championships. It was everything we expected and so much more! It is a beautiful home in a beautiful location. Ali made us feel very welcomed. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful respite
Such a lovely curated space that feels simple yet special, with lots of functional and aesthetic choices that feel like a magical stay in Hawaii. The hammock and lounging outside in shade or sun, exploring tidepools, comfortable just enough indoor space and tastefully and artfully created space. I see why people return. We sadly never got to see any turtles our entire 5 days stay, and had really looked forward to that perk. Nature is unpredictable though. Fortunately we swam with them elsewhere. Also, there are more updates to the property and amenities than pictured here. It feels mostly private but the locals do frequent the rocks for fishing and surfers make their way in and out daily. Unfortunately for that reason an outdoor shower wasn’t in the cards, but it’s their home and space and we were just visitors! Great everything you need kitchen for cooking. Only issues but not barriers, if you’re a lighter sleeper, be aware at odd hours (12:30am and 6am) sprinklers turn on waking us daily with a loud air in pipes squeal. I’m sure can be repaired and it is a beautifully kept landscape (landscaper came on the 20th unexpectedly—details dated in listing. We planned to be out that day so worked out fine). Be aware that though great location, Ali’i drive is busy and happening so lots of car and bass/music noise. The waves tune most of it out though in the front main room. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay. Thanks for all the special touches and sharing this space with us.

Spectacular! We were enchanted by all the details of the property:the ocean, turtles, dolphins, beautiful sunsets, the aroma of myriad flowers, cooking and dining outside and of course the comfortable elegant indoor accommodations. Eagerly await the opportunity to visit again. Many thanks to hosts for making our stay memorable!

Spectacular house!!!
This house is spectacular! You can't ask for a better view and location. Great snorkeling right off the beach, you do need water shoes though. Easy drive to restaurants but we found ourselves eating at the house as it was so comfortable. All the natural wood in the house and lush landscaping made you feel like you were in a resort but better! Beds were very comfortable and we appreciated that there were paper towels, garbage bags, shampoo etc for us. Would highly recommend this house.

Couldn’t have been better!
What a gem! This property is exactly as billed on the VRBO site! Right on the water, and despite being on a busy street the world feels a million miles away once you sit down in the outdoor living room and have a cocktail with sea turtles napping at your feet!
I could go on and on, but if you want to be right on the ocean in a beautifully appointed place, you need look no further. When we come back to the big island, we will DEFINITELY stay here again.
We are picky travelers and have NEVER been so pleased with a spot before.
You will NOT be disappointed!

Second time here but not our last by any means...
We absolutely love this place. It has its own little lagoon where sea turtles beach/sun themselves. It's a quiet, very private place away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, but just minutes away by car from loads of good restaurants, shopping, etc. We ate most of our lunches out, but had breakfast and dinner here, followed by card games and very relaxing nights of sleep. While three of us went out and did zip lining and Flumin ride in Kohala, as well as a tour of Mauna Kea and the observatories there, one of us stayed back and just sat, read, and watched streaming netflix while taking in the beautiful view from the house. We will be back just as soon as we can.

Sounds of the ocean!
This house is lovely. Very clean, comfortable bed and overall updated well! The ocean was so close! Enjoyed Coffee and a view! Would like to come back in the Summer when the snorkeling would be best. Big swell during our stay prevented us from getting in. Turtles come in to eat here! A few suggestions for the owners might be, way too many door codes. if you left your phone in your room and could not get to your "notes" you get locked out. Maybe make all the doors the SAME code and periodically change them all at the same time. Extra blanket for the bed would have been nice. And larger beach towels would have been nice. Other than these few suggestions, we had a wonderful stay! Mahalo!

Perfect vacation spot
The pictures on the listing don't exactly do the in-person perspective justice. The finishes of the house are nice, seating, beds, showers, all very nice. Was slightly hesitant about half the house being outdoors but it's 90% covered so it wasn't ever an issue. The views are going to be hard to beat ... Anywhere. When we arrived there was a turtle laying right at the water - where else does that happen?? There are about 3+ turtles that hang around the house/rocks so we saw them ever time we snorkeled. There's a gate to the house so no concern with security (not that the area is concerning anyway.
In short, likely when we return to Kona I'll be basing it off when we can reserve this unit.

What a vacation getaway!
We stayed here from 7/19/16 through 7/26/16. Incredible setting with breathtaking views of Lyman's Bay! Snorkeled everyday with turtles right in front of the house and around the corner. Must be ocean familiar getting in and out. Pay attention to the tides. We live in Santa Cruz and are totally at home in the water. The outdoor kitchen was a real treat. What a setting to cook meals everyday with a million dollar view. Sunsets were unreal. Close to town but you felt by yourself when at the Little Piece of Heaven (perfect name). My family and I completely enjoyed the accommodations and will come back. The Property Manager; Kim, Owner; Ali and Handyman; Jose were all excellent and attentive.
Ali, Thank you for creating this Little Piece of Heaven and sharing it with us!

FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS
I cannot rave about this place enough. Wow. Right on the water. Sea turtles. Outside kitchen. Privacy. (You do see fisher people on the rocks, but they stay far away and fish.) Everyday we walked down to the tide pools (a couple of feet away!). We mostly lived outside, only going in to sleep or use the bathroom or watch TV late at night. Also so much is new here: the washer and dryer and oven. Everything was spotless. We also rented a brand new car from the owner using Turo. So easy. Also so peaceful. We never wanted to leave. Ordered take out from Kai’s. Great pizza. Twenty minute walk to Magic’s Beach. Ate dinner there twice. Wonderful. We hope to be able to come back. This was an amazing experience. I cannot imagine anyone coming here and not being blown away by the serenity and astounding beauty. Every moment we were here we reminded ourselves how lucky we were to experience this. Thank you!

Spectacular indoor/outdoor living in the heart of the Kona Coast
We spent four nights in this amazing place. It’s on a busy road on a fairly crowded part of the Kona coast, but once you’re through the coded gate, you’re in your own tropical paradise, watching surfers, turtles, flying fish, endless crashing surf, and gorgeous sunsets.
The house combines the best of indoor and outdoor living: kitchen, dining, and living room spaces are all outdoors and covered, while the two bedrooms are indoors and have air conditioning. We loved having coffee and meals outside as the surf crashed just steps away.
Our group comprised two couples. Although the house was very comfortable and large enough for all four of us, prospective renters should know that the wall separating the two bedrooms has a glass transom along the top, which lets light and sound easily get through. You shouldn’t expect complete privacy — conversations can be easily heard between the two rooms.
It's worth mentioning the presence of video cameras aimed at the outdoor living spaces. They’re part of the home security system, but not mentioned in any of the materials.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the kitchen does not have an oven, contrary to what the listing said when we rented.
All of these are small matters when talking about such a wonderful slice of heaven. The property is like no other we've experienced. You won't be disappointed.

Really delightful place. Right in the middle of everything but felt like we were far from the bustle of the Kona. It’s really impossible to explain what a great place this was…I guess saying we actually postponed our return home just to have a few more days should explain it best :)

What an amazing property! Your own private access to the ocean to snorkel or watch turtles, or catch a gorgeous sunset. Very cool indoor/outdoor living house, sleeping to the sound of the waves every night was perfect. Loved everything about this place.

Location, Location, Location!
This is an amazing property! You open the gate and drive into the patio/carport. From there your view is of Lyman’s point. The cottage is bedrooms and bathrooms, a work area and a small area for watching TV. But everything else is outside on the lanai including the entire well-equipped kitchen. We mostly hung out in the living area on the lanai when we were at the rental. There is a protected “pond” area that is open to the ocean but largely protected right next to the the house. There we were visited several times a day by green turtles. You could walk into the pond and see many many types of fish too. The surf was high while we were there so we got to watch great surfers catching the waves from first light on. We slept to the sound of crashing waves. The main part of the house is like a studio with a walk in closet and bathroom. The other bedroom is not directly accessible from the studio part and can only be entered from an exterior door. The other bathroom also has its own exterior door. We were with our adult daughter so this was not an issue for us. It was tempting to just stay at the house all day. We had a lovely time.
