Second stay at the Purple House and once again it didn’t disappoint! It is always our little home away from home! Love the peace and quiet! The owners are amazing! Look forward to future visits!
House is well stocked, quiet neighborhood, beautiful views.
I brought my own propane for the gas grill and extra drinking water, as well as lounge chairs.
Totally enjoyed my stay, wanted to stay longer
We wanted to stay away from the crowds and closer to the sights on the south end of the island-the purple house was a perfect fit! We thought the winding road down to the house was fun and offered amazing views. The neighborhood was impressively quiet and the lanai offered a wonderful space to have breakfast, watch the sunset and take in the stars.
There was ample space for our group-2 couples and 2 elementary-aged kids, and the house was well-equipped for all sorts of island adventures. We appreciated the washer and dryer and loved the option of the outdoor shower. We hope to be back someday soon!

Great view
We loved our stay in the purple house. It was clean and the beach decorations fit the area to a “T.” It had all amenities we could’ve asked for. We ate out on the deck for breakfast and watched spinner dolphins. We snorkeled at Da’ Rock and saw a big variety of fish. It made us feel like we were away from the real world. We would definitely stay there again!
Great property out of the main Kailua-Kona area where lots of people stay. It was exactly what we were looking for when booking the property. We knew the distance to Kona/Waimea (further), to Volcanoes (closer) and just planned our days out accordingly. Once we got the lay of the area of where best to get groceries, water and dump trash/recycling it was all great. There are great beaches around the house (Honomalino Beach - 20 min easy trail walk from Miloli'i Beach), Miloli'i Beach (short 5 min drive, great snorkeling if you want calmer waters - there's a small bay area with lots of reef fish to see...saw a moray eel, too...unusual for shallow areas) and the Rock public access area just 500ft to the left of the driveway. We had lots of days just relaxing and reading on the deck and swimming closely without driving out.
The kitchen has great supplies which you don't always get with a vacay rental - good pots/pans, sharp knives, good appliances- pretty much anything you would need in any home. Ginger and Roger have thought of many amenities one might need or want especially if you're looking to do your own meals.
The house is well situated in a quiet residential community. The drive down from the highway is a bit windy and steep. Take it slow in the dark, but during the day it was fine. And once you've driven it a couple times, it's no biggie in our opinion. We would return for another "off the beaten track" sort of holiday. We really enjoyed our stay!
We loved staying at purple house! The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the deck/views also. The owners are very responsive, and kept us up to date when Mauna Loa erupted during our stay. (Which turned out to not be a big deal, but was amazing to see the lava flows!) we loved the property and location and hope to come back to visit again!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Purple House. The homeowners have done a fantastic job with this home, making sure that it has just about everything you need for a stay on the Big Island. The home is newer construction, so there were no issues with anything. The home is located at the bottom of the mountain, near the ocean and has a very exciting road to drive to get to it! You are only an hour from Kona, about 15 minutes from grocery & fuel. We loved it and will definitely return!!!❤️🏝💯
We had an amazing stay at the purple house. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but Ginger the owner is extremely nice and answered right away and was quick to make the situation right. The house itself is great and in a great location. It is quite and away from the hustle and bustle of Kona. They stock the house with anything and everything you can possible need. We enjoyed sitting on the porch at night listening to the waves. Would stay again!
The sunsets from the deck are amazing.
Little lizards and birds all around.
Well equiped kitchen.
We will be coming back to Hawaii soon.
