Hawaii> Kamuela
- 5 bedroom
- 3 bathroom
- Sleeps 16
This five-bedroom/three-bath home sits on five acres of land in the Kohala Estates. We specifically designed the house as a family vacation gathering spot, and we built it ourselves in 1989. Its high ceilings and 760 square feet of windows make it particularly light and airy. Tradewinds and 13 ceiling fans will help to keep you cool. The kitchen and the master bedroom have 180-degree ocean views. You can also see the Kohala Mountains, Mauna Kea, Hualalai, Maua Loa, and nearly the entire Kona-Kohala Coast. With luck and timing, you can spot Hawaiian spinner dolphins, humpback whales, or the occasional green flash. We can't guarantee blue skies and no mosquitoes; but your odds are better here than anywhere else in the central Pacific. The house sits in the rain shadow of the Kohala Mountains, and annual rainfall totals are typically in the single digits! We have tried to make our house a comfortable 'home away from home' for our guests. It is attractive and comfortable without being so fancy that guests are afraid to relax. The library boasts plenty of books and movies.
Extras: You'll find enough kitchenware and linens to choke a flea market! Kids will enjoy several cubic feet of Legos, building blocks, and other toys. Puzzles and board games abound. Binoculars, beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, boogie boards and hammocks are left out for your use. You won't need to bring much besides your clothes and your camera.
Many of our guests consider this 'their' second home; and accordingly, our most popular times can be booked over a year in advance. Fall and late spring usually have the best availability.
You will also enjoy a BluRay player in every bedroom, a satellite TV with Hi-Def in the living room, a phone for making local calls, and WiFi Internet access.
Location, Location, Location: Most of our guests appreciate where the house is located. It is in a semi-rural neighborhood, which has no street lights and a myriad of stars at night. Weather is usually warm and dry. Within easy driving distance to the Big Island's premiere beaches and golf courses, it is also conveniently located between Kailua-Kona and Hilo. Good restaurants are an easy drive away. Neighboring houses are quite a distance away, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe.
Sunsets are beautiful, and some times you will even catch a green flash.
Home away from home: The house is very comfortable. Many of our guests say that they feel ...

This is an awesome property. It is everything as advertised. It was so easy for our large group to relax and have fun. It was organized; there was plenty of spices and soaps and coffee pots. We will definitely try to return.

Our group of 11 had a wonderful stay in this home. We never once felt crowded and our kids had a fun time having adventures in the “jungle”. There were plenty of parking spots and everything we could think to ask for was available, thanks to our accommodating hosts. . The beach supplies and beach towels were a nice touch. We would love to stay here again next time.

A group of us stayed here for work. It was the perfect setup with ample space for sleeping and the big beautiful deck. Ocean views every morning were incredible

The home fit our extended family of 13 perfectly. There was everything from crib and high chair for our youngest grandchild, blocks and toys for our preschoolers and books and boogie boards for our teens. It was in the perfect spot to access sandy beaches and to go exploring. Thank you for a wonderful vacation/family reunion!!!

The property is exactly as described. Very generously stocked with everything you may need. It was perfect for our family vacation. Any complaints I could think of would be outside the control of the owners. They can’t control the weather! We came while it had been extraordinarily rainy in the weeks prior and that brought out the expected bugs. But they also had spray and candles for that as well. On the plus side the rain turned the usual arid landscape a lush and beautiful green!
The views from the lanai are unbelievable. We came during whale season and we could see them out there daily. Just an amazing experience to watch whales play out there from the kitchen cooking as well.
We were worried about the heat being without a/c but it was never much of an issue. The winds kept the house sufficiently cool with the fans on and windows open.
We found the beds to be comfortable and there were tons of board games for the kids and movies for adults and children.
All around fantastic location and stay. We are already looking into getting a group together for a future visit!

Over all it was a great stay. Coffee and dinner on the lani was the best. Short drives to the beaches and shopping. Found hikes all around. I would definitely recommend this house for a family or group vacation.
