A hidden gem located only a block from the ocean. This charming 2 story, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage is tucked away in Kahakai Place, a small gated community. Perfect for a romantic getaway or family retreat, enjoy the privacy of you own home during your stay on the Big Island.

Tastefully appointed with comfort and relaxation in mind, you will feel like you’re home whether you are indoors or out.

All bedrooms are located on the second floor to provide added quiet and privacy. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed with an en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The third bedroom is equipped with two twin beds. Also conveniently located upstairs are the laundry facilities. The washer and dryer are free to use, so no need to rush out and get quarters just to have clean clothes.

Downstairs you will find a spacious living room and dining area, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Relax in front of the 55” flat screen TV equipped with Apple TV. No cable is offered but you'll be able to log in to your personal streaming services. Free wifi is provided, so be sure to connect on your smartphone, laptop, and other gadgets.

The kitchen is equipped with all you might need, including an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, tea kettle, and coffee maker. There is also a BBQ located on the lanai. If cooking isn’t your idea of a relaxing vacation, you’re only a short drive from a variety of great restaurants with menus from around the world.

Comfort control is provided by the house’s split-system AC with vents in each bedroom, as well as one in the living room/dining area. On top of that, each bedroom has a ceiling fan with another located in the living room.

After you create a meal from the fully equipped kitchen, you can sit at the bar, on the sofa, at the kitchen table, or on either of the lanais to enjoy it. Our favorite suggestion is to pack up some wine and food and take a 5 minute walk to a secluded beach to watch an amazing sunset or watch the turtles sunning themselves in the sand.

Relaxing home base

This property was the perfect home base for our Big Island adventures! We especially enjoyed coffee each morning while sitting out on the front porch watching birds, geckos and the occasional neighborhood cat play amongst the plumeria and hibiscus. The yard is small but faces a private, gated drive and there is there is ample patio furniture.

Nice place close to the beach and activities

This was a nice place to stay for our family of 4 (2 being teenagers). Everyone had space and AC units in their rooms. The property had nice places to sit outside and the furniture and beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to do the simple cooking we did. Plenty of beach towels in one of the bedroom closets. The place is located within a little neighborhood and there is little space around the house, that is my only negative, but that is also just the area. Overall it was a great place to stay!

Multi-generation family visit

We had a very nice stay in this property. It was very clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the AC in every room. The location is wonderful with a short walk to a beach for a lovely sunset. Communication was great! We had a slight hiccup checking in but the hosts were very responsive and had the issue resolved very quickly! We would definitely stay here again!

Good location and value but needs to be stepped up a bit.

The good: Quiet, close-in proximity to downtown Kona and beach areas. Somewhat walkable if you want to brave walking along a busy road. Property manager was very responsive and quick acting Lovely sitting area outside the living area Great BBQ setup. The not so good: Nothing terrible about this place, but it needs some stepping up and the manager needs to spend some there to think about how 4-6 people using 3 bedrooms will use the place and furnish it accordingly. Having only 4 forks and 4 glasses in the kitchen cabinets is not ample. We were constantly washing dishes. The pillows felt like they were 20 years old. The good thing was that we told the manager they were unusable so they brought new ones over right away (that was good). That’s good but the place shouldn’t get to that point. No bathmats in the bathrooms. Washer soap and dryer sheets were used up in one wash load so we had to request more. Same for toilet paper. The furniture could use a deep clean.

Hidden Gem

Property is exactly as described. We love this house. There are two separate porches, loved sitting outside for coffee on the AM and drinks in the PM. Conveniently located near everything! House has a full kitchen; we cooked dinner and breakfast every day. Great beaches nearby, 30 minutes from Waikaloa and quick walk downtown to shoreline. Definitely recommend. The only thing I would change is the purchase of paper plates for morning meal. The kitchen has everything, but is limited on plates🤪 We had to go dishes twice a day, or run the dishwasher 2x daily. Still is a fantastic place.

Exactly as pictured

This comfortable house was exactly as pictured in photos. The outside areas were nicely landscaped. It is a bit off the beaten path but not a far drive from beaches, restaurants, and activities. There were a few minor issues with deferred repairs but First Island responded promptly to my report of a damaged bannister and towel rack. . The proximity of the driveway to the community gate makes the turn into the property a bit challenging. The placement of the security keypad to activate the gate requires getting out of the car. Kitchen is narrow space and a little awkward to work in. Overall it was a cozy and pleasant place to spend a few days in.

Minutes from beach

This house was paradise! Each room clean, had its own air unit, and fan. The grass was so soft and the flowers and trees were absolutely beautiful. The years and house was well manicured and well kept. The automatic sprinklers comes on at 5:44am… I know this because I moved a chair to the grass and was enjoying the stars (because of the time change I was wide awake since 3am) and the all of a sudden I ran for cover with the chair! It was hilarious!! Anyhow, the house has two floors, so you have to carry your luggage up the steps to your room, but that was ok. My son was so happy when he was in the room with the PS! The little things that make kids happy. The outside patio has covered areas and sunny areas. The little lizards are everywhere and my daughter named them. It was paradise! The only glitch was our gps wouldn’t recognize how to get to the house from Alii drive- it’s across from the mile marker 2.5 .. REMEMBER THAT! you’ll need it for when the other side of the street is locked off near the elementary school. At night it is very dark and you’ll have to get yo the house from the main road, Alii Drive. Look for mile marker 2.5, then turn into neighborhood. The location of the house is wonderful. You’re minutes from the beach, minutes from town, minutes from a local market with vendors- one even MAILS COCONUTS HOME!! We were so excited for this, and we mailed home a painted coconut. Alii Marketplace- look for Jill’s HotStuff. So memorable! Make sure you have the gate code so you can get back into your house. Message the host for the gate code. Loved this house !! 10 stars from us!!

Great spot on the southern end of Kona

I stayed here with my family (including kids 2 & 4) for a week-long trip. We were very comfortable in the house. My only complaint is that the location does mean it's a bit of a hike out to the kid-friendlier beaches north of Kona (e.g., Kikaua and so on). While I would also note it's not really walkable to many places, that's not a fair complaint because it just turns out that Kona is not just laid out for walking (think Southern Cal), so you'll be driving no matter where you are staying.

Great House a Short Drive to the Shops and Restaurants in Kona

We enjoyed our stay here. We had a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old and some of the decor had to be hidden away from their little hands (breakable stuff). Everything was well stocked and the TV worked in the living room (although you needed to log into your own streaming account to play anything). While we never felt like there was any danger nearby during our short stay, the house is located in a gated community which adds to the comfort.

Nice house

The house is not really a block from the ocean. And the ocean access is all rock walls close to the house. The back gate to the area is locked during the day due to a school and is not accessible and GPS will direct u there everytime. But the home is very nice and only a short drive to beaches. Enjoyed the beach chairs, umbrella and body boards along with snorkel gear provided. Bring swim shoes for sure as beaches have a lot of rocks. I would rent here again because the price is reasonable and location is good for anything on the west coast of the big island!

This was an awesome experience. The property was beyond our expectations. It was nice to come home after a day at the beach and the kids could run around the front yard.

Beautiful House

Very painless check in. Everything was very good. Lots of bits and pieces to start with in the kitchen. Lots of paper towels and toilet paper. It doesn't sound like much, but it's the little things that make a big difference! Just a few small things...but nothing that had an affect on the house and our stay. We only had one rental vehicle, but if we would have had two there would have been problems with getting out of the carport as the house that we shared the driveway with had three vehicles so they had two under the carport and the third stayed on the driveway, which would have made it difficult if we had to get two vehicles out. Second was the gate for the gated community was always open as there was a towel placed over the sensor to keep the gate open all the time. Wasn't a huge deal, made it easier actually. The shoreline access points close to the house were not good for going into the water. Be prepared to pack up and drive to find water accessible beach. We had a small issue with one of the appliances so we contacted the mgmt company and they sent someone right away. Great response!
