The space
My Kona Paradise is large, bright and elegantly appointed. A modern Hawaiian home, it's 2800 sq.ft may be easily shared by two families or 3 or 4 couples. Yet it retains a sense of seclusion and privacy. In an upscale neighborhood on the slope of Mauna Loa, the wide lanai overlooks the yard, the sparkling pool, palms and landscaped tropical greenery. It is directly above downtown quaint, active Kailua Village, which is situated along a wide bay on the Kona Coast.

From Kona airport (KOA) make an easy drive nine miles south on Hwy 11 into Kailua Village, then eight blocks up the mountainside. The circular driveway has a covered portico. The entry leads to the inviting ambiance of the upper living space and lanai level, appointed with both modern art and traditional Hawaiian decor.

The glass back and side walls slide to open the living room to the tropical views of the lanai. There are large leather couches, a smart television, lounge chairs, and large stone coffee table. The dining area opens to the veranda view. Wood and glass cabinetry, dually accessible from dining area and kitchen, contains enough fine dinner ware to accommodate the largest group. The kitchen is fully equipped. It has a new gas stove and refrigerator, a food prep island, plus appliances and convenient gadgetry to suit need and culinary whim.

The master bedroom is spacious and quiet. It has a king bed, walk-in closet and private bath with a glass block shower. The bedroom has a high ceiling with a fan, air conditioning, smart TV, window seat and warm wood window treatments. Its furniture, lamps and art pieces blend traditional and modern Hawaiiana.

The second bedroom, has a king bed, closet, ceiling fan, air conditioning and Hawaiiana furnishings to continue the thematic decor. There is an adjoining bath (not in-suite), again with a glass block shower.

Upstairs from the dining area is a carpeted cupola space with 360 degree views. Equipped as an office with high speed wireless internet, desk and chair plus lounge chair, lamps and small table, the room is a quiet workspace... easily adapted to a crow's nest hideout to sleep a few young pirates.

The covered lanai wraps around three sides of the house, accessible from each. This elevated veranda has a large gas BBQ, two porch swings, table and chairs.

Downstairs the third bedroom has a king bed, smart TV, closet, ceiling fan and AC. A sliding glass door opens to the covered porch, the yard and gateway to the pool. Adjacent to the bedroom is a third bath and shower. A hallway accesses a linen closet and laundry room with washer, dryer and utility sink. There is work space and cabinets with cleaning supplies and small tools. The laundry room with a door to the yard, serves as a convenient changing room for pool use. There is a storage room for beach supplies.

"THE DOWNSTAIRS WAS LARGE ENOUGH FOR OUR KIDS TO HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE" Monica R. -Oregon

Also on the lower level, the fourth bedroom is actually a bonus room and the largest room in the house. It is carpeted, looks out to the back yard. It has two double beds, two dressers, AC, multiple ceiling fans and a dehumidifier. The room includes a recreation area with two love seats, a large lounge chair, a 48in. flat screen TV, wet bar, a game table with four chairs and a floor to ceiling book shelf stocked with books and table games. There is enough floor space for additional bedding if needed. (There is a full-size deluxe, self-inflating 9" thick air mattress w/bedding; takes 3 min. to set up.) An interior doorway connects back to the third bedroom. Another sliding door provides separate entry to the side driveway.

The bright floral yard is enclosed by rock and wrought iron fence. It has gated steps to the spacious lower terrace salt water pool area. This verdant oasis is surrounded by palms and flowering trees to create a secluded tropical play area. The pool is large, 18ft.x50ft. There is an outdoor shower, a bin of pool toys, ample pool furniture and a table with shade umbrella.

The house was very nice and spacious in a quiet neighborhood. It had all the amenities you needed including beach amenities. The private pool was awesome. The location of the house is close to all the shops and restaurants. We were there for 11 days and qish we coukd have stayed longer. The only downside to the trip was the oven wasn't not working, so we could not do the dinners we wanted. We had to shuffle some dinners to the bbq grill, but the grill hasmd its own issues. We made it work the best we could. The host tried her best to fix it while we were there, but time could not allow it. Overall, the house is great and we would definitely stay there again. The host was super responsive and answered any questions or concerns we had.

Had a great stay at Cheryl's place. Plenty of room for our party of 7 to spread out and relax. The house is up on the hill side over looking Kona. One thing that you can't really tell from the pics is whether there is an ocean view and I can tell you there is definitely is from the main floor lanai. The house has a bit of age but is in good shape. As is the case with most anywhere on the islands wildlife is abundant. The geckos were standoffish for the first couple of days and enjoyed us from a distance but after that they got comfortable hung out with us. The pool was fantastic and massive. It's like you're in your own tropic paradise with the surrounding landscaping. All in all it was the perfect spot for our group.

3 couples stayed and had a great time. Well equipped home with everything you need including beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers to take to the beach so you don’t have to rent them. Also a nice pool for hot days .

We were in Hawaii for a family reunion with our adult children and their significant others. The property was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The pool was huge and clean. It has a beautiful wrap around deck with amazing ocean and sunset views. The landscaping is beautiful. The ac in each bedroom was ice cold and the beds were all comfortable. The communication with the hosts was easy and they were quick to respond to any questions and checked in on us the first day to make sure everything was good. They had lots of beach equipment. We will definitely look to book this property again when we return.

This home away from home was exactly what we needed, a fully functional kitchen, plenty of seating for our family group of 10, comfortable beds, 3 bathrooms, great privacy, a gorgeous pool and the location was perfect with breathtaking views all around. The host was very responsive if I had any questions, very friendly and professional. My kids and I stayed in the lowest level, in a huge room with 2 beds “there’s an inflatable in the nearby closet” it has a window unit that blows ice cold, a beautiful bookshelf, a table for 4, a TV, sink and dehumidifier and we loved that space so much. Early in the morning before sunrise we would sit on the back main level patio and watch the moonlight glisten over the ocean, listening to a rooster crowing, birds chirping and frogs singing, Wow! what a special experience. Mahalo ❤️
