About this property

Centrally located on a beautiful green three acre estate on the slopes of Hualalai (right above the historical Kailua Kona) this private, spacious studio is truly a gem. The entire property is fenced with access thru gate with an electric gate opener. Large yard and plenty of wildlife in this rural peaceful setting. This studio is truly a piece of paradise, feeling worlds away from the heat and humidity of downtown Kailua Kona but with the convenience of being only a ten to fifteen minute drive to beautiful beaches, restaurants and shopping.

Every window and sliding door has blackout shades/ blinds for privacy. There is a separate Gas BBQ Grill, the separate Washer/Dryer for use by the two studio units. Making this property perfect for lots of privacy for an enjoyable get away for families, couples and friends. With nearly a constant year round temperature in the 70's during the day and a cool 60's during the evening with the sound of soothing crickets and coqui frogs in the distance it is the perfect elevation for a comfortable tropical setting. You will truly enjoy the walks through our neighborhood or if you wish to just relax and be greeted with the sounds of birds chirping while enjoying breezes from the cool trade winds, it's a natures lover's paradise. If it is peace you are looking for then this is the ideal location for you, whether taking an evening walk or BBQ outside while taking in the view, the studio offers a beautiful Hawaiian setting.

Super Ausgangspunkt auf Big Island am Hang gelegen

Die Unterkunft selbst wie auch die Lage hätte nicht besser sein können. Wir waren traurig als wir wieder los mußten. In den Bergen hat man Ruhe vom Trubel und Kühle in der Nacht zum Schlafen. Und da der Hawaiian Belt gleich ums Eck liegt ist man auch gleich überall. Ob im Jungel, in den Kaffeeplantagen, am Strand oder auf dem Mauna Kea. Einfach perfekt! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!!!

Big Island Detour

Views of Kono were amazing right from the back door. The accommodations and owners were full of more Aloha than we deserved. It was a taste of living the island life and I am not sure we would ever want to stay anywhere else in Kono. Thank you for making our stay better than we imagined.

View from on high

This property worked very well for us. The view from the studio is so beautiful - just like the pics online. We liked that beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrella, and an ice chest were included. And having a washer/dryer available was great. We recommend it!

Breathtaking getaway retreat

We thought this place was better than advertised. We enjoyed being up, away from the crowds and busy streets. The view was incredible and allowed us to see some great sunsets. The room was clean, comfortable and well supplied with amenities. We would definitely choose this place again.

Great Location - Knockout View

Spacious studio with large bathroom and great patio/terrace view down Kaloko Hills. My wife and I are not into the tourist crowds, and this place was perfect: serene, quiet and cooler by 5-10 degrees than Kona. The check-in process was a little confusing to me, but the owner came by immediately after I contacted him and guided a tour of the unit and then spent the time to tell us a local's take on where to go/what to see. Very helpful!

Privacy, quiet, nature!

We truly enjoyed everything about our stay. The location is close enough to everything but you also feel far enough away that it feels wonderfully secluded. It’s clean, great amenities, you can’t ask for anything more!

Kona fun

This rental is high up above Kona with a fabulous view of the coastline. Having a car is essential. Our unit was in between the main house and another studio. Each has a completely private patio and patch of grass. Owners have thought of literally every amenity to make the unit comfortable, with high end finishes, and for a studio the space is generous. Property manager James was prompt to fix a sliding screen door same day. This is a great place.

Fantastic View

This place has great views, is tucked away from the crowds, and yet is still close to shopping. The elevation also makes for nice temperatures, day or night, which is a great escape from muggy weather. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Tucked in the clouds but easy access to town

We really enjoyed this studio apartment. High above town but beautiful views of the pacific and just 8 minutes to town. There was everything we needed in the kitchen to cook/grill some of our own meals. Beach equipment was great to have as well as the laundry facilities. The owner and manager take great care of this place. Would highly recommend and definitely look forward to a return visit. Mahalo!

Clean, well-equipped, and very peaceful! Plus gorgeous views!

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spotless and came well-equipped, and we especially loved the gorgeous views from the back porch! We utilized the boogie board, beach towels, and cooler, which really added to the fun of our Hawaii vacation. Every night we would fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the coqui frogs and wake up to the breathtaking views of the coastline. Communication, check-in, and check-out were clear and easy. Thank you for the unforgettable stay!

Luckiest pick, unforgettable !

We absolutely loved being up the mountain, just a short drive from all the Kailua-Kona tourist stuff. It was a great location to venture out to all the areas of the island, then return to the peaceful mountain. All the amenities provided were top shelf! Having laundry access right there was a plus. Eating breakfast or snacking on the lanai with the awesome views and sunsets was unforgettable. We’d love to return ans bring our extended family to this property hopefully in the future. Thanks to James for such a nice welcome!

The perfect getaway

This unit was the perfect location for our stay on the big island! It was a great central location for our trips up to the beaches on the northern part of the island and for our drives south. It was everything as advertised and we loved the secluded feel of it. It was peaceful at night, falling asleep to the sounds of nature. The bed was definitely a highlight, I've never slept in such a comfy bed! James was super helpful as we checked in and even supplied us with another beach chair so we had one for each of us, which we greatly appreciated. The cooler, boogie boards and beach towels also got a lot of use during our week.

Amazing stay secluded from the hustle of Kailua-Kona

Great location, wonderful communication with property manager (James), and awesome views of the sunset and ocean. This is perfect for a couple or family of 3-4 who doesn't mind being 10 minute drive from downtown Kailua-Kona and wants more space / updated facilities for their stay. I really appreciated the communication from James throughout my stay and the cleanliness/amenities offered. Would definitely stay here again!

First VRBO

I was glad to stay in a gated and secure property. The listing was accurate. I had heard situations in which listings may not clearly represent a property and as my first VRBO/AirB&B, I was pleased about the studio. The views and sunsets fantastic. If there was a negative, there are no street lights on Kaloko Dr or Kaloko Hills Dr so the area is very dark at night. It is easy to miss Kaloko Hills. Use GPS especially at night. There is sufficient lighting around the studio doors and driveways but I did have to plan to get to the Studio before dark. The location is about 10 minutes from the Kona Airport which was convenient.

Big Island

Kevin & Morgan were the most gracious hosts! Always there to answer questions. Morgan bought 2 new outdoor foldable chairs after I said the sand chairs were difficult for my husband to get out of, how kind was that!!!! We were there Jan 26-Feb 9 and found that a jacket was needed at times at the studio. The elevation is approximately 1,800ft. There were times that after being in town for the day and then arriving at the studio, (approximately a ten minute drive), the temperature had dropped 10 degrees. We loved that we could bbq and have a small kitchen so we didn't have to eat out all the time. The studio, grounds and view are beautiful. Our 2 weeks went by too quickly. Stay here if you have the chance, you will be love it! Thank you so much Kevin and Morgan!!

Perfect Stay from the Start!

My family of 3 all totally enjoyed our stay here in Kona! Kevin and Morgan are welcoming hosts, and are there to happily help with any questions along the way. Kevin rolled out the welcome mat for us, meeting us upon our arrival, even though our plane was late it was going on midnight. The apartment is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The sunset views are grand, the location is quiet, the kitchen and beach closet well stocked, we lacked for nothing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Kona stay

Our hosts were excellent. I like that they have an "exit process" including stripping the bed and enjoying the garbage. They're asking their guests to take some ownership of this beautiful place as one should. I love that the chairs and couch are comfortable; no sagging to the floor. The bed is comfortable; it has a memory foam topper that makes it softer than I prefer, but still comfortable. About 10 min. inland from ocean so 5-10 degrees cooler. Very comfortable.
