This hidden gem, nestled amongst lush greenery in Paauilo Mauka, offers a peaceful refuge during your Big Island adventures. Our two-bedroom, garden apartment is situated on the ground level of the historic Main House at Keolamauloa Homestead. With a private entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom overlooking ferns and the pond below, this retreat has everything you need. Each bedroom has a double-size bed, and one includes the soothing sound of a small waterfall outside. A pull-out couch can accommodate an additional 1-2 guests. The cozy living room is stocked with books on Hawaiian culture and botany and includes a propane fireplace for cool evenings.
Please note that the apartment is accessed via a sidewalk that includes several steps, and there are also a few steps inside, including a shower/bath combo that requires stepping in. These features may be considerations for guests with mobility concerns.
Wake up to the sounds of birds in the surrounding native O’hia, Kukui, and Koa trees, relax in our Japanese-style wood soaking tub, take a cool dip in our pond, or lie on the grass under the sun. In the evening, you might enjoy the firepit while listening to tree frogs and crickets and stargazing in the backyard.
Keolamauloa will welcome you home, whether you've taken a stroll in our rural neighborhood, explored nearby Kalopa State Park and historic Honoka’a town, or ventured out to Kohala, Kona, Hilo, or Volcano....

Loved the setting. Bed was really comfortable. Kitchen was adequate for our needs. Really quiet setting. Hot tub was interesting but great. The high wall into the shower was a surprise. Didn't see that in the property description on vrbo. Fortunately we are pretty spry for 75 & 77, but others less physicalky abke could have had a real problem. Had communication with manager but no response to our replies, wondered if i was doing it wrong. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

We totally loved this property, Sally was so easy to work with and we have absolutely no complaints except we couldn’t stay longer!! The property is simply beautiful!!!! You felt like you’re really in a Hawaiian Paradise! ! At night you can sit by the fire pit or soak in the hot tub and just listen to nature!! The home was spacious and we didn’t need to ask for anything more!!! Staying there brought me to a place that I can honestly was I was the most relaxed ever on Amy trips I ever taken !! I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this paradise retreat.

If anything, the pictures etc do not do this property justice. Everything about it is wonderful. We were able to completely relax. This place is very very special and glows with care. Thanks so much!

We were very impressed and happy with our stay here! We loved having the kitchen to cook our own meals and listening to some tunes on their record player. They have dehumidifiers in the room, which we really appreciated because this is the wet side of island it is pretty humid. For the most part we were up and gone while it was still dark out side and came back after the sun had set. The last day we made a point to come back early to have a relaxing night in their hot tub. It was wonderful and I couldn’t believe that we didn’t do it sooner. You could enjoy your vacation just as much with out ever leaving their property. I recommend visiting the vanilla farm up the road! Its within walking distance and they have great coffee and delicious bread pudding.

You will not find a more unique and relaxing property in all of Hawaii. We spent a week here exploring this property and the area around it. Wish we could have stayed longer. Apartment offers everything you need on your vacation.

The apartment, located on a large property, was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated with the hosts’ art. Our stay there was so peaceful and relaxing with the sound of birds and frogs, and the water fountain flowing in the koi pond below our bedroom window. From there we were able to explore the eastern and northern parts of the island. We would definitely come back!
