About this property

Magnificent! Private Pool & Hot Tub - 180 degree Ocean View; U pick Orchard

WOW !!! is always the first thing I hear from guests. SO MUCH BEAUTY!

Looking for that authentic Hawaiian Home experience? This is it. Eat off the land and be amazed by the gorgeous flowers and birds.

This house is a real Gem. Private, comfortable, spacious, peaceful, and relaxing; You will enjoy the lush, luxurious landscape in this peaceful paradise, away from the crowds, yet close to many pristine beaches. This one acre estate is located in one of Kona's most desirable neighborhoods, four miles north of Kona village, at 900 ft elevation where the days are 10 degrees cooler than the coast and the humidity is far more comfortable. You can open your windows all year long and enjoy the breezes. You'll love the spaciousness of the 1 acre lot with no neighbors in sight and the 180 degree view of the Ocean will take your breath away.

900 feet is the best elevation for many of the delicious, exotic fruits growing here and also allows for great coastline and ocean views.

My husband and I live quietly upstairs and stay invisible unless you want us.

Come, enjoy the Kona Heavens Hideaway as your home away from home. It feels like you're out in the country, yet everything you need is just a short drive away . Staying here is the best of both worlds!

Amazing oasis!

My family and I stayed for a week at spring break and enjoyed our stay. This stay is the bottom floor of a large house and a giant back yard full of fruit trees. We enjoyed spending time outdoors, the ocean view and especially the fresh fruit and avocados. The hot tub was also very nice and we made use of the badmitton set and basketball hoop. Unfortunately the pool was broken during our stay, but we were given a partial refund for this and I'm sure it's fixed by now. After the crowded beaches, it was always nice to come back to this peaceful oasis. It felt very private even being in a neighborhood.

A perfect home base for a small family on the Big Island. Beautiful pool and hot tub, don’t even need to dry off to cook in the outdoor kitchen while still enjoying the incredible view. Owners are super nice and the property is absolutely impeccable.

Paradise indeed

By far the best VRBO we have ever been to. Yes the kitchen is outside. Does it matter? No! It’s Hawaii! Delightful property, owner is very friendly and helpful. She was always prompt when answering any questions we had. Free tropical fruit and eggs. Pool is deep enough to practice your snorkeling or free diving techniques. Lovely neighborhood. Loved staying in the hills above Kona, it was always a little cooler up there. The standard by which we will judge all future VRBOs.

Amazing!

We have staying in many places found through vrbo but this one was exceptional. Beautiful setting, clean and well maintained property, easy to get to places from, space to run around... it had it all. We loved the privacy of the pool and gardens. My 12 year old twins loved the chickens! We would love to return for another visit!

Eleven days in Paradise

My wife and I loved our eleven days we spent at this home. The views from the home are outstanding. Each morning eating our breakfast from the outside kitchen and listening to the birds and watching the clouds drift over the ocean are priceless memories. The neighborhood and overall location of this home are excellent. We will be back again to the Big Island and staying at this home.

Wonderful property with a great location

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay here. The property is spectacular and very private yet just a few minutes from the coast. Sandra made us feel very welcome and was very responsive to any questions. She had great suggestions for locations to visit! Everything about the property was great: the orchard (with massive avocados), the well-stocked kitchen, the pool & hot tub... I could go on and on. SO happy we chose this home over a resort property.

Second time here was as good as the first

We stayed here for the first time in April 2018 and loved it so when we planned a somewhat spontaneous trip back to Kona in November this was an easy choice. There are many good vacation rentals in Kona and we typically like to move around to have differing experiences each time. So it's a tribute to the appeal of this place that we came here again. Sandra and Ken are very gracious and informative hosts, and we've learned a lot about good snorkeling sites and places to eat out that we might never have thought of.

Wonderful Stay

This property was the perfect home base for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We wanted a mix of relaxation and exploration, and Sandra's property made both of those fantastically easy. Our whole family enjoyed downtime in the pool, hot tub, and yard playing badminton while the location made it a good jump off point for trips north or south along the coast or to head towards Hilo. Also convenient for airport, groceries, and restaurants. The house was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, & the beach toys, chairs, and towels were much appreciated. The memories of the lovely ocean view looking over the gorgeous yard's diverse and beautiful foliage mixed with the bird sounds will always linger when thinking of our time there!!

Exceptional property and location

The pictures do not do the property justice. The yard is a Hawaii botanical garden. There’s fresh fruit (that you get to enjoy!) and flowers of every kind. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to town, restaurants and airport. The sunset views are so stunning, we made a point to try and be back on most nights for that. Further, the house was spotlessly clean and very well stocked in the kitchen, with towels and beach equipment. We were 2 couples concerned with privacy for each. However, we found that the house worked very well. Sandra and Ken were responsive and generous hosts. This is a place we want to go back to again.

Like our own botanical gardens

We just loved, loved, loved our stay here. Such a beautiful spot with the view of the ocean and wonderfully landscaped yards. I enjoyed waking up early with my six year old and exploring the property for wildlife - birds, geckos, visiting wild chickens - and enjoying all the many fruit trees. My husband was in love with the outdoor kitchen. Our son thoroughly enjoyed all the legos and toys - when not in the pool which is where we spent most of our time. The unit had everything we needed, minus washer/dryer (unless we were absolutely blind), but as it was a shorter stay we managed without. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and hope that that day will come again soon! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Well appointed accommodations and supportive hosts

We've stayed in numerous VRBO properties on Kona and this ranks as one of the best as far as how the the accommodations are set up. The kitchen is well stocked with necessary cookware, serving wear, and appliances, which is not always the case. We've experienced other places where such things are a haphazard collection of dated items and poorly organized. Also the pool equipment and patio furniture were in great shape. The large combined bedroom and sitting area is spacious and comfortably decorated and has a view looking towards the coast. Our hosts Sandra and Ken live on the property and were always available to answer questions, and gave us many excellent recommendations from where to snorkel to places to eat. We also found the property location near the intersection of Hina Lani and Hwy 190 gave us more options for traveling both north and south than some of the other places we'd stayed, so it's convenience to facilitating us getting to place more quickly is a plus.

Memorable Kona Stay

Our family enjoyed our stay, with family members reporting that this was our best trip yet to Big Island. Sandra greeted us warmly upon arrival. She kindly left a few homegrown goodies for us in the fruit bowl, which was a big hit. The outdoor kitchen is very well appointed, and we did not eat out for any of our meals. Sharp knives, basic spices, proper cookware-we were not disappointed. The family grill master enjoyed having all the tools he needed to get the job done. Of course the backyard pool, toys, sunset added to the wonderful experience. The beds were a comfortable place to land at the end of the day. Plenty of linens, a spare toothbrush for the one who left his at home, toiletries-all much appreciated. The provided beach towels were thick and absorbent. The washer and dryer worked well, and it was so helpful to have cleans clothes when needed. And the location. Surprisingly convenient, to Costco, to the highway up the hill and down the hill, plus so many attractions with an easy drive's distance. Our family of 4 highly recommends a stay here while in Kona.

4/10 Poor

Not exactly what we expected

Listing description is misleading. This is not really a rental house - you are renting 2 rooms and a great pool/hot tub. One "bedroom" is actually a living room, other bedroom is very small with 2 twin beds. Extra aero beds are meant to be set up in living/"bed" room. Ok for families with small kids, but 5-8 adults? Not so much, if you want privacy. Outdoor kitchen is better in theory - in reality there are mice and cockroaches to contend with. The dishes should have been professionally cleaned after previous occupants left (many were sticky/dirty). For kids = FUN. Owner is very nice/helpful, but for most people, there are better deals to be had elsewhere.

Was a fantastic stay

Our family loved staying here, truly felt like a paradise. The accommodations were great, we really liked that the kitchen and dining area were outdoors, not common to us coming from SD. Our 3 kids all play soccer so they had plenty of room to kick the ball around and play frisbee in the huge yard. Picking fresh fruit from the property was awesome too. The kids ate a ton of fresh starfruit while we were there. We received a botanical tour from the yard care guys that came by to mow and clean the property and then one of them invited our kids to join the local youth soccer club at their next pick-up game time which they did (another highlight for them). The pool and hot tub were used a lot, we got some really awesome silhouetted pictures of our kids doing poses on the diving board at sunset. The view is breathtaking but even more so at sunset. We also enjoyed the badminton. Always felt like there was something for everyone to stay occupied with. Sandra was very accommodating and always responsive if we had a question. Although this was our first VRBO experience, I’m not sure there’s a better property out there.😉

About the host

Hosted by Sandra

Host profile image
Aloha,

My name is Sandra and I have lived in Kona since 1970. I came from California in search of cleaner beaches to ponder my future. As it turned out, I stayed - and have loved living here ever since. I have traveled the world and must say 'there is no place like home'. When my children grew and moved out I discovered that this home was too big for me, so I turned downstairs portion into a vacation retreat, which includes the pool, yard and downstairs kitchen and I'm so very happy to share this precious, peaceful place with visitors and share my knowledge of the Island as requested. I look forward to meeting you.

Why they chose this property

This particular area of Kona is perfect as far as climate and location. I have lived in many different areas of the Island, and this location is, by far, the BEST.
At 900 ft. elevation, the great views are expansive and the climate, temperate. Coastal living can be very hot in Hawaii, while we are enjoying soft trade winds to keep the temperatures perfect. I also love this location because there are approximately 12 world class golf courses within a short drive, and the harbor is just 3 miles away, a launching place for many water activities. We are on one full acre , a beautiful park with no neighbors below us, which gives us all the privacy you could ask for.

What makes this property unique

Wake up to the sweet sounds of songbirds, lounge around your private pool and soak up the warming rays of the sun. Leisurely prepare some breakfast in the outdoor kitchen while enjoying the peacefulness and beauty all around you. IF you feel like going for a little walk, this is one of Kona's most beautiful neighborhoods with safe, quiet roads and little hills or steep ones if you would like a challenge.
