Holualoa Studio Cottage - GIANT OCEAN VIEW! Cool, private, near town

We are located on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, directly above Kailua-Kona, on the side of Mt Hualalai, in Holualoa, with an awesome ocean and coastline view! Please read our reviews because the view from the cottage lanai is better than we can describe in words!
Our custom built studio cottage is about 500 sq. feet with a roomy wide lanai, and special bistro high seating to enjoy the fabulous ocean view. MUST see to appreciate!
The cool elevation of our cottage is 1400 ft. with a beautiful view of the coastline over Honokohau Harbor. The sunsets we get to enjoy are incredible! The coqui frogs will sing to you in the early eve but quiet down during the middle of the night. Some call them them "night singing birds".
Holualoa town itself, is a small quaint art village now, and a classic old small Hawaiian town with lots of history. Holualoa area is a very preferred area to stay and live because of the cooler temperatures, Kona coffee country all around, coastline views, and it's close proximity to town.
There are several events in our village including "First Fridays" each month when local artists, musicians, food booths and more are all along the streets through Holualoa Town. We love Holualoa and know you will too!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. The view was FANTASTIC and the space was perfect for a "home base" on the island. We liked how central the location was to everything on the island! The home is so beautifully decorated too, which made it all the more relaxing.

Everything about this place was amazing! The views were incredible, it was comfortable, and it was just a short drive to a lot of places in town. Berta and Billy were so sweet, and they really think of everything to keep stocked in the home. My husband and I loved staying here and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area!

The view was incredible, and the lanai offered the perfect spot to soak in the views, the sounds, and the weather (even when it rained, it was so peaceful). Berta and Billy were fantastic hosts, and the layout of the cottage was ideal for our stay. The location was close to town, but also made our jaunts to other parts of the island easy to make as well. The water pressure was great, hot water was abundant, and the screened windows and ceiling fans made temperature regulation a breeze :)

The amenities of the cottage are what stuck out the most to us. This was one of the most well thought of well stocked feng shui place I’ve ever stayed. The interior design was well thought out and the place felt very inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking here because it was so well stocked and worked so well. Watching the sunset from the lanai was a real highlight. The frogs were loud, but we got used to them and slept fine using earplugs. And this was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed as well.

Berta and Billy offer a home away from home, Hawaiian style! The Cottage was our home base for exploring the Big Island. It was well appointed, comfortable, and an overall very pleasant stay. We had the opportunity to meet these nice people and can't thank them enough for making this cottage available. Mahalo

Great Views A Short Drive Outside Of Kona

We had a great stay here on the back half of our vacation. Great views from the lanai, great shower pressure, and a nicely done cottage. The short drive was worth it to be outside and above the town where it was quieter and cooler. The frogs were intense but didn't keep us awake, almost like a white noise machine. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone exploring the Kona area.
