About this property

Three Palms

Situated at 600 feet elevation on the side of Hualalai Volcano, Three Palms is a private, two-room (plus a bath) suite in a private residence in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Kailua Kona and the Pacific. The location is ideal...only a few hundred yards up the mountain from the Hawaii Belt Road (State Highway 11, Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway), one mile south of Kailua Kona town proper, and a little more than nine miles south of Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA)(approximately 20 minutes to/from the airport).

Although the house is occupied, you need never see or interact with the owner (unless you need assistance!), as you have your own private entrance and a lanai and deck for your exclusive use.

The three rooms include one king bedroom with a garden view, a connecting bath, and a lounge that can be used as a bedroom, with a queen-size sleeper sofa and ocean views. The suite is intended for a couple, a couple with small children, or two couples (the maximum occupancy is four people), but the ideal use is by a couple who are looking for a quiet, relaxing environment.

The king bedroom has two small desks with power connections if two of you want to use your laptops at the same time (the house has 500 Mbps service, and the modem/router is just outside the room, with a mesh node in the ocean-view room, as well).

For those rare times you will want to stay in, the suite includes a kitchenette with a microwave oven, toaster, and refrigerator, as well as a Keurig brewer (coffee, tea, and hot chocolate provided), and sink. If you wish, a convection oven/air fryer, portable (but large-capacity) griddle, and barbeque grill are available. A small-capacity washing machine is also provided, with a drying rack (and a retractable clothesline in the shower).

For your stay-at-home entertainment, there's a 75-inch Samsung Smart TV with Netflix and other movie channels.

You'll have beautiful ocean and 'jungle' views from the deck, which is yours to use exclusively. There's a table and four chairs protected by an huge umbrella, useful day and night (includes soft, warm lighting), an L-shaped lounge, and two separate chairs with small table, all for contemplating the gorgeous sunsets while enjoying your wine.

So, come to Kona and enjoy your stay at Three Palms!

The place was just as described. The view and lanai with table and lounge chairs were worth the stay, with breathtaking views. It was wonderful to wake up to the sound of so many different types of birds that you can see flying around from the deck. The bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable if you have a sensitive back. It was great to have chairs, beach towels and a buggie board to take to the beach. The restroom was stocked with everything you can think of, including emergency umbrellas. Would stay here again. The host gave us a thorough walkthrough of the place and how everything works upon our arrival, it was helpful but hard to focus after a long flight.

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation rentals and Three palms is in the top 5. We appreciated the exceptional view of the ocean, the peacefulness of the neighborhood, the friendly cats who came to visit and the comfortable/spacious accommodations. We spent most of our time on the beautiful lanai, listening to the birds as we drank our coffee in the morning and watching the sunset. Our host Steve, was kind and thoughtful prioritizing our comfort. He facilitated an impromptu nighttime excursion to a Kilauea eruption that was extraordinarily memorable. We highly recommend this place. Rob and Tory

We really enjoyed our 7 day stay at Tree Palms. The ocean view was great and the unit was well furnished and quiet. We enjoyed eating breakfast and watching sunset on the porch. The location was very convenient as a base for visiting the Big Island attractions (beaches, botanical garden, volcano, farmer markets) and Costco shopping :-). Our host Steve was very helpful providing info on Kilauea Volcano eruption forecast which enabled us to catch the spectacular one day eruption. He even gave us a coupon for a nearby great Thai restaurant.

The place was wonderful. We loved the view and appreciated the little things like having chopsticks available when we got Costco sushi. There was a slight misunderstanding on my side though. The place says it sleeps 4 adults, which it does with the sofa bed, but the pictures I saw made me think there were two beds, a king and queen, instead of a king and a queen sofa bed. The description on the site says these details accurately but the pictures made it look like there were two different colored comforters on the bed due to the lighting which made me think there were two bed in addition to the sofa bed. It was totally my misunderstanding as everything is listed properly but don't make the same mistake as me. We were fine with our kids on the sofa bed though and the property was beautiful. We would definitely come again.

Steve was a great host. The accommodations were everything that my wife and I needed for a few days in Kona, and Steve was very helpful with suggestions. We had our own little corner to ourselves, and the view at sunset is amazing. There are cats that will make their appearance, but not once were we bothered by them or were they ever an annoyance. At this location you do share the property, so there will be some things that go bump in the night. Aloha!! And Mahalo Steve.
