The Onion House "Architecture so full of life it seems to breathe"

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY PRIOR TO BOOKING REQUEST:

Created for the McCormick Spice family, the Onion House is a unique architectural treasure with stunning visual aesthetics. It has been featured on MTV, Travel Channel, Learning Channel, Fine Living Channel, HGTV, Global Architecture Magazine, and Architectural Digest.

You will have the entire house to yourselves. Swim and sunbathe in privacy on the huge lot that is well screened via foliage. You'll feel alone in your world, enjoying the 70' pool (unheated), gardens and lily ponds. The terrace faces sunsets and Kailua Bay, providing the ideal setting for candlelight dinners. The translucent roof and walls of stained glass allow filtered sunlight throughout. The detached master suite features a private walled garden. A covered outdoor walkway leading to the master bedroom structure is flanked by lily ponds and the turquoise pool overlooking the sea.

With grounds of nearly an acre, five minutes from town or beach, this is the perfect base camp for exploring the Big Island.

Exquisite house with glimmers of creative genius large and small everywhere you look. We splurged for our 35 wedding anniversary victory lap. Thank goodness this was a 2nd trip to this island and we didn’t feel tourist driven. We wanted for nothing but a local grocery, occasion beach day or restaurant, a trip to see the volcano spew and the ONION HOUSE. I never wanted to leave. Be prepared to live in a masterpiece of art surrounded by nature. Magical! and STFUMahalo to the angels and owners for your stewardship and sharing this magnificent home with us.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Onion House. What a unique experience and it is a very special house unlike any other place. You do feel like you are immersed in the nature of the island with all of the screens and fresh air. You can hear all of the creatures at night. The amenities were all high end, including the towels and bath mats in the bathrooms and the supplies in the kitchen along with everything you needed for the beach. Communication from before we arrived and upon our arrival was fantastic. You do want to arrive in the daylight though to try to figure everything out so you can see better as it does get dark at night in the house. I would highly recommend the Onion House if you are looking for a unique place to stay.

Amazing Unique Stay

The Onion House was a truly unique place to stay. Beautiful views, great gardens and pools, and our host was informative and fun to speak with. Close to town, but with a very secluded feel, it was perfect for a family getaway!

This house is a work of art. Jeanne was a wonderful property manager. It was like staying inside a living, loving organism. The outside flows to the inside leaving you feeling like you’re an organic part of the island. This place has spoiled me for any other place.

We really enjoyed our stay. Jeanne gave us all the information we needed. The house is comfortable (I loved the bed and linens), so beautiful and certainly one of a kind! We had everything we could possibly need. The erupting volcano was the only thing that we left the house for!

An amazing architectural beauty tucked into the Hawaiian hillside. The descriptions are apt. If you’re looking for the Four Seasons turn left out of the airport. But if you want serious glamping with a healthy side order of the outdoors, The Onion House is your place. Easily accessed, this gem brings contemporary elements for daily living to your Hawaiian vacation. Beautiful facilities for housing up to six - 2-4 adults would be ideal - there’s plenty of space to spread out, inside and out.Warning: this NOT a bug-free environment!! The house does have doors and windows but it is also open to critters that crawl and fly.Nevertheless, a stay at The Onion House feels like a stay at a home on Lifestyle’s of the Rich and Famous, Hawaiian style! And with the McCormick Spice family as the original owners and developers for this incredibly fun home, you can sleep, swim, cook, relax, or entertain in serious eclectic style! Thank you to the current owners for your loving dedication to maintaining this beast!! It’s an obvious labor of love and for those who choose to stay with you, that love will surely be in evidence.

Splendor in an Onion

This was the most beautiful home we have ever stayed in. From word work to stained glass, the whole home is a living breathing piece of artwork. Waking up to the birds each morning and drinking our coffee on the lanai was the highlight of the morning. While in the evening we sipped cocktails and watched the sunset from the pool. Not sure how it could have been more magical. Thank you, we will be back every year.

Staying in a beautifully unique piece of art.

Onion House has been on my bucket list for decades and it did not disappoint. We were beyond happy to eat our meals, hang out in the pool and watch the amazing sunsets from our perch on the hillside. Truly a magical place like no other.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Terri Watson

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
The Onion House was purchased by Harry and Barbara Last from the McCormick family a few years ago. Barbara had wanted to visit this architectural wonder some time ago and when she learned that the property was for sale, she insisted that they book their stay immediately. Upon awakening in the Onion House the very first morning, Harry fell in love with the unique architecture and as well the engineering structural aspects of the overall property. They both decided that they wanted to be the purchasers, not only to enjoy for their family, but also to continue to preserve and maintain this wonderful property for guests as well. Poring over the construction details of the Onion House also brought back memories. Many years ago in the late 1970’s, Barbara and Harry, a mechanical engineer and inventor, designed, and built by hand a hillside home in the Vancouver, B.C. area, complete with an indoor swimming pool for their three children, all in competitive swimming. In order to combat humidity in the pool area, Harry soon became interested in automatic pool covers, which eventually led to him founding a business in that industry, which still exist as a closely held family business today.

Barbara and Harry will continue to connect with Beth McCormick (the former owner) as an advisor on the maintenance and preservation of the property. Guest contact will be facilitated by Terri Watson, who has also managed guest relations on another Hawaii property for the Lasts. Property Manager Jeanne Awai, along with her staff, who have managed the gardening and maintenance and welcomed the guests to the property for many years, will be staying on as well.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

There's no place on earth like this. It's a wildly original form of architecture, distinct from any other structure, hand-built by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg. It combines the indoor-outdoor living that defines Hawaii with visionary, organic architecture. You've never seen anything like this.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

A unique part of Hawaiian history, the Onion House is a pivotal piece of the McCormick family history, commissioned by prior owner Beth McCormick's favorite aunt, 'Auntie Dofeen.' and build by well known architect Kendrick Kellogg Bangs of organic architecture renown.

This home is Kellogg's first piece as both architect and builder, and launched the Organic Architecture movement of the Mid-Century Modern craze that dominated Southern California. Kellogg went on to build well-known works such as The High Desert House in Joshua Tree, CA, Lotus House, Wingsweep, the Hoshino Wedding Chapel in Japan and Charthouse restaurant in Rancho Mirage, CA.

We have the opportunity to share this home with guests from around the world, who bring friends and family to celebrate special moments in their lives. Many of our guests are repeat visitors, and the "Onion House Family" spans the globe.

Of note: The Onion House isn't for everyone......
The Onion House is not suitable for families with young children (less than 12), or for those who have difficulty with steps, due to safety considerations inherent in its design. We make no representation of the house as accessible.
Smoking outside only, please.
The Onion House is true Organic Architecture - it is not a climate controlled, sterile resort- like location. There is no air-conditioning (we use many fans!). It is truly indoor/outdoor living in a shelter of roof, screen, glass and rock cooled by nature passive design.
