About this property

Kona coffee estate in Holualoa

Kona Coffee Estate Guest Apartment with Ocean and Garden Views

Our estate is situated on the slopes of Mt. Hualalai on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are located just 15 minutes from the Kona Airport, 10 minutes from the quaint coastal town of Kailua-Kona, 10 minutes from the artists’ village of Holualoa, and also 10 minutes from Costco! We are at a comfortable 1500' elevation in the Kona Coffee growing corridor. We have over 100 Kona Coffee trees on our property, along with papayas, avocados, bananas, pineapples, and tangerines that we will share with you when in season.

Separate from the main house on the estate and above the garage, we offer a private, peaceful, Hawaiian motif 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment with fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, and bamboo floors throughout. There is high speed wireless Internet throughout the apartment , and a 43” smart TV with free Netflix in the living room.

There is a queen bed in the bedroom, and a Euro lounge sofa/bed that converts into a 46' x 78' bed (almost full size) in living room, with all linens supplied. The bathroom has a large walk-in tiled shower with plenty of bath and beach towels supplied for your use. The bedroom and kitchen have views overlooking the ocean.

The large sunny living room extends onto your large private lanai through 16' sliding glass doors overlooking the lush gardens & greenbelt. There is a gas BBQ, and dining table with 4 chairs on the lanai. Watch the native birds and the occasional wild pigs stroll by!

The unit is perfect for 1 couple +, maximum 4 persons (check convertible bed size), but not suitable for toddlers. Overall square footage, including lanai is 816 sq. ft. It is not handicap accessible as there are stairs up to the apartment.

You are also welcome to enjoy the gazebo anytime which overlooks the estate, harbor, and Pacific Ocean. It is especially nice at sunset.

There are laundry facilities available for your use in the apartment. There is also a drying rack. Beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, and coolers are also available for your use.

Kailua-Kona has several world renowned events, including the Ironman Triathlon in October, and the International Billfishing Tournament in August, along with ongoing outdoor athletic events. There is lots to do on the Big Island. You can fish, surf, snorkel, scuba dive, kayak, swim with the dolphins, golf, see a volcano, hike, bike, and star gaze at an observatory, when road is open.

We are onsite owners who manage this accommodation which is a part of our estate’s pride of ownership. We want you to make yourselves at home and treat it with the respect you would your own home.

Thank you for a wonderful Kona stay!
The place was exactly as described and was very secluded with nice views of the ocean from atop the hills surrounding Kona. Clean, comfortable, and all the amenities provided for a wonderful stay. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it and would definitely stay again. Good jumping off point for all the Big Island has to offer. Thank you again, Donna, for sharing your home and for your hospitality (and we loved your cats, too )

The place did not measure up to our expectations that were based on the apartment's charming photo. In reality, it's a clean 3* with a well equipped kitchen and a spartan bedroom.

All we could have hoped for and more!!
Absolutely amazing stay! I can't begin to describe how wonderful the Kona Coffee Estate is. Immaculately kept with beautiful furnishings and beach gear included. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Not to mention our hosts, Donna and Robbie, were so welcoming and kind! As a bonus they provided us with celebratory champagne upon our arrival as we were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary! You cannot go wrong in booking this fabulous property! We will definitely return!

Peaceful location a short distance from Kailua town
We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was surrounded by nature, and we loved being in midst of birdsong and other sounds of nature. Sunset views were beautiful and the amenities were great. Clean and comfortable beds, very nice kitchen with amazing coffee grown on site!! Hosts were also friendly, and unobtrusive.

Good stay!
Overall it was a great home, beautiful decoration, helpful books and notes about the island! We had trouble adjusting to no a/c in the home, we found it was easier to go to bed once it was dark. The frogs were too loud for us so we slept with the windows closed. The driveway was very steep and a few turns but it seemed like at the driveways were like that. Overall it was things we personally had trouble adjusting to, the property and the owners were great!!

Exceptional experience
We kicked off our anniversary trip to Hawaii with our stay at Kona Coffee Estate. And we are so glad we did! Wonderful, unique spot with everything you could need or want. We loved being serenaded by the frogs and awoken by the roosters. We truly felt we were in Hawaii/Kona. Great views - watched the day start from the kitchen and saw a rainbow from the bedroom. Very close to the artist district but far enough away from the city to relax. Highly recommend staying here!

A. Ice little getaway
This property sits above the city which provides a lovely view. It is a bit out of town but perhaps that is what makes it so special. The accommodations are spacious and we were pleased to have access to a washer and dryer after being on the road for a while. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Simply beautiful
Everything was perfect! Such a nice relaxing place to stay. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen stocked with everything you need. Beautiful views. Cool comfortable nights. The noise from the frogs was even soothing at night for the 3 nights we were there but can see how it would be a nuisance for some. Highly recommend Donnas place.

About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
We moved from California to the Big Island of Hawaii in 1986. We love the slower paced island lifestyle, weather, and water activities. We have traveled extensively and would love to share what we think is one of the most beautiful places in the world with you.

Why they chose this property

Having lived at various other locations on the Kona Coast since 1986, we found our dream property in 1999, and call it 'our final resting place'. Our 1 acre coffee estate is situated at a perfect elevation, which offers a bit cooler temperature than at sea level. It is in a rural, quieter area, yet still just minutes away from town and the beach.

What makes this property unique

On site owners/managers, private, peaceful, with all the comforts of home. Bird watching right from your own private lanai!
