Stunning, Romantic Cottage on Slope of Hualalai

On the Kona side, safe and away from the volcanic activity, the Cottage awaits you.

The perfect, peaceful getaway for those on a honeymoon or looking for a relaxing, romantic experience. This warm, welcoming, newly-built and finely crafted studio cottage provides modern comfort while retaining the spirit of old Hawaii. This mountain paradise is surrounded by native trees and a tropical garden. The Cottage at Ohia Place is situated in North Kona, at a cool 1600' elevation on Mount Hualala'i in Kaloko Mauka.

The cottage is in close proximity to Kailua Kona village, shopping, restaurants, beaches, activities, the harbor, hiking trails and upcountry golf courses. The airport is 15 minutes away. Your host, Gale, lives on the 1.5 acres shared with the Cottage.

The accommodation features open beam wood ceilings, ohia hardwood floors, mahogany and granite kitchen, brand-new queen -sized bed (with a Memory Foam topper), large slate shower, fully equipped kitchen and a lovely lanai that enhances the inside/outside lifestyle of Hawaii.

The cottage is 720 sq feet under roof, including the lanai.

Your host will provide you with details about the many island activities, tours, sight-seeing, beaches and cultural experiences as well as shopping and restaurants, all within an easy driving distance from your home.

Born and raised in Kona, the host's father was one of the founders of the sports fishing business in Kona in the early 50s; she and her family remain closely involved with the fishing community. She has spent her professional life welcoming guests and connecting them to the rich traditions of the islands. We love the island of Hawaii: the vastness, the colorful and unique local customs, the sunshine and sunsets of the Kona Coast, and the hunting and fishing traditions of the Big Island.

A vintage picnic basket is available for your pleasure. If you're headed out to explore the island. You are welcome to use a cold bag for shopping, cooler, beach chairs and towels.

This is a place you will call home... will want to remember... and will return to.

Gale welcomed us warmly. Everything was more beautiful roomier and more comfortable than I even hoped. It was hard to venture away from the idyllic sights and sounds of the cottage that sits at the perfect elevation for warm sunny days without the high heat and wind at sea level. We kept busy though, touring the salt, abalone and seahorse sites nearby.Also highly recommend snorkeling in the clear waters at twostep and visiting the city of refuge historical site and tidepools next to it.We also had an amazing day of snorkeling and whale watching on the Hula Kai with Fairwinds, a 5 star outfit in every way. I forgot to ask Gale for her banana bread recipe-the best ever! Her family's history and significance on the island was fascinating, if you can get her to share it. Till we meet again,Mahalo Gale!

This was a repeat stay for us because we absolutely love Gale’s property. Best spot on the Big Island because it’s close to town, but still accessible if you want to go to Waimea, Hilo or Volcano National Park. Very private spot with a beautiful lanai where we enjoyed breakfast each day. Absolutely favorite vacation spot and we will be back! The property is so clean and has everything you need to have an enjoyable time - love that Gale thinks of everything - from banana bread to welcome us, to beach gear and coolers, to kitchen implements and various coffee makers.

The cottage is an excellent place to relax in privacy. We spent several days simply sitting on the porch and reading. We highly recommend to any couple seeking peace and quiet.

Of course it's 10 out of 10!

I always wondered what makes a VRBO rental get an excellent score of a perfect 10, and now I know! Gale is an INCREDIBLE hostess and is a treasure trove of knowledge about the island. Our first day she brought us fresh fruit and banana bread, which was quite delicious and so sweet of her. The cottage has everything you would hope to have in a vacation rental and also things you didn't even know you wanted! Seriously, I cannot think of one thing we needed that wasn't provided. It is quiet and serene, the lanai is the perfect way to start the morning, the bath robes for the outdoor shower were amazing, I could go on and on... Everything was clean and well taken care of. We told her that we would recommend her place to anyone we know that is traveling to Hawaii. We hope to return one day! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Best Rental on the Big Island

This cottage is one of the best rental properties that we have stayed in. Gale was a fantastic host, quick to respond to messages, detailed at check-in and provided a loaf of amazing banana bread, which was appreciated after a long travel day. The kitchen had everything we could have needed and a great gas grill. The size was perfect for us for nine nights. The early mornings and evenings were cool on the hillside, which quickly cooled down the cottage. Being close to Palani Road/Hawaii Belt allowed us to avoid the Queen K to get into Kona quickly. I would absolutely rent this VRBO again for a future trip to the Big Island.
