About this property

Beautiful Hawaiian Studio with Panoramic Views

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.

Quiet, Private Studio with a Scenic View

The studio offered a minimalist, clean, and private atmosphere, complemented by a serene view of the island’s horizon through the window. Located in a quiet and well-regarded neighbourhood, the property provided a peaceful environment throughout my stay. The host, James, was courteous and accommodating, and his support greatly contributed to a smooth transition from my previous accommodation.

Perfect from check in to check out

Loved staying here. Definitely one of the cleanest places we have stayed at. James was wonderful with communication and very accommodating. We were in between vrbo’s on both sides of staying here and he was able to allow us early check in and later check out. This was incredibly helpful as we were nervous about doing anything and leaving our luggage visible in the car. The location was great.. only about 15 minutes from downtown Kona and not far from beaches either! It cooled down nicely at night for comfortable sleeping. Speaking of sleeping- the bed was very comfortable! Would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to the island.

Excellent and cozy studio with everything you need

James, the manager was very communicative and had great tips on places to snorkel, where to see turtles, etc. The apartment has everything you need to be comfortable and make your own meals. The boogie board, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and beach towels means you don’t have to pack/buy any. The coqui frogs can be loud at night, so bring earplugs. We did not miss the a/c because this apartment sits at a higher elevation which means it stays nice and cooler than Kona. We used the fan some nights and kept the blinds closed during the day to keep the sun out. This place exceeded my expectations. The lanai is perfect for morning coffee and great evening sunsets.

Fantastic Property

Loved our stay here! The views are phenomenal! Pictures don’t do it justice. Very clean, spacious and open. The property is very quiet, peaceful, lush and relaxing. We are so glad we didn’t stay in the congested main area of Kona. Has pretty much anything you need from beach gear to cooking essentials to a first aid kit. Enjoyed breakfast on the deck every morning as well as several dinners watching the sunset. There is no AC, but it is cooler at that elevation so it was not a issue. There is a tower fan if needed. Costco, Walmart & airport are within about 10 minutes. Very convenient! Would definitely recommend this place to family & friends!

Great experience

Stay here! You will be glad you did!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The studio was large, well suited to our needs, and the view of the coast was outstanding. The property itself was beautiful, and very well kept. The location was very convenient to town, to the mountain, to stores, and the beaches of the Kona area. There’s even a coffee plantation further up the mountain from this where I was able to go and buy a few last minute gifts for friends back home. unlike some of the places we’ve stayed on Hawaii this was very quiet with regards to traffic or people noise, and it seems the Coqui frogs are everywhere on the big island now so you just sort of learn to live with that. Because this location was well up the mountain, it cooled off nicely in the evening and all we needed was the fan that comes with the apartment. The best thing about this though was the view, I practically lived out on the lanai while I was there. Drink my coffee there in the morning, sat out for an evening cocktail, and even sat out there to read on afternoons that weren’t too sunny. As one other reviewer commented if you have mobility issues there is a step or two between the sleeping area and the kitchen/bathroom area so that could be a consideration for a few folks but for most it will be no issue at all. I hope to stay here again on my next trip back to the big island.

This place is super. One narrow warning. if you are elderly and get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, there are three steps going to it. This is not a problem for 80% of the population. Again, this is a great property.

A Gem!

My wife and I have traveled many different places and this is right at the top of our list. The manager James met us at night (he lives next door) and showed us the studio. He's a wealth of information. He was fantastic. The studio is bigger than one bedroom units and totally updated. The owner thought of everything. The owners 3 acre estate overlooks the island with an unobstructed gorgeous view. My wife and I snorkel a lot, but it was so beautiful and peaceful up here that we decided to spend more days on the lanai in lieu of snorkeling and hanging by the beach.

Very nice place. Great location.

James was a great host he was very nice and showed us around the place when we arrived. He gave us suggestions on places to eat and activities to do. He was quick to answer any questions we had. The place was very nice in a quiet gated area. There were a few bugs we saw in the kitchen but other than that it was all around nice. It had all the amenities including stuff that you can take to the beach (the boogie boards, beach bag and chairs were a plus). The beach umbrella was broken so we couldn’t use it. The balcony was great it had an awesome view of the ocean.

Outstanding view and sunsets.

Extremely clean, quiet and user friendly. The washer/dryer came in handy. Kevin and Morgan were super friendly and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. For example, the iron was not working properly and the ironing board was heavy and difficult to open. I told Morgan about it and she replaced both iron and ironing board immediately. Yes, I do mean immediately! The bed was very comfortable, great shower and the porch was amazing. Wonderful stay!

Awesome views from coffee country!

The studio suite is located up in beautiful coffee country above Kona. The views of the Kona coast and the ocean are terrific and you are far from the busy streets of Kailua-Kona - it’s a 10 min drive to go to town and 15-20 min drive to the nearest nice sandy beach. Just above the property is a cloud forest which is very interesting!! The studio is attractive and very well-equipped with all the beach toys you might need! (Chairs, towels, boogie boards, cooler, etc). The king bed is super comfy. Laundry very convenient. The kitchen is good, although no dishwasher. The owners live next door and are super helpful, answering any questions you might have and full of information on where to go, eat, etc. We felt the studio was great value and we saw a part of the island we may not have otherwise seen. Definitely recommend!
