About this house rental

Kona Dreams sleeps 4 adults. Walk 150 yards to the ocean. 2 bed/2 bath tropical home in a quiet neighborhood. Chef’s kitchen, laundry, beach gear, use of kayak. Free phone, wireless, cable, off-street parking. Hiking and beach on-site. Maid service with an extra fee.

Kona Dreams is a private retreat in South Kona, 35 miles south of Kona Airport.

The Drive:
A scenic drive on the highway along the dramatic coastline takes you past Kailua-Kona, to history-rich Keauhou, Kealakekua, Captain Cook, and Honaunau, through the Big Island’s fertile agricultural region, where coffee grows alongside macadamia, cacao, vanilla beans, avocado, and an endless feast of tree-ripened fruit.

The Home:
Enter the home and you will notice it was designed to capture every breeze. The spacious living area is equipped with a flat screen TV, media player, WiFi, games, guidebooks, and leisure reading. Comfortable furniture invites you to relax under the cathedral ceiling supported by solid ohia logs.

The airy primary bedroom features a king size bed made of local ohia wood and has a separate walk-in closet, primary bath, and a private lanai. The guest bedroom has a queen bed, separate full bath and a lanai of its own. The large kitchen is equipped with everything to make enjoyable meals from scratch.

The Location:

The steep hillside is caressed by ocean breezes and incredible views of old lava flows and crystal waters. A swim in the ocean is just 150 yards away. Look for turtles or even a monk seal resting on the beautiful black lava pebble beach. Enjoy sitting on the shaded lanai while you watch the tropical sunset or look for breaching whales.

Kaohe Bay is well known for scenic snorkeling – you will find snorkel gear, water toys, beach furniture, umbrella and cooler to enjoy during your visit.

Ho’okena Beach Park and Milolii Beach Park are nearby. Grab a quick bite or a freshly brewed cup of 100% Kona coffee at Menehune Coffee. Don’t miss Pu’uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge) and allow a day to visit Volcanoes National Park.

Kona Paradise is a quiet neighborhood, 45 minutes south of Kailua Kona. For this reason, we believe a rental car is necessary to best experience all that the island has to offer.

We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags.

Receive peace-of-mind knowing that if something does go wrong, one of our friendly and professional staff members is only a phone call away. With a warm “Aloha”, we at First Island Realty look forward to welcoming you to your tropical getaway!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beats a hotel hands down! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and very functional. It's a short walk to pebble beach, there are lots of great amenities and it truly made our vacation special. The ocean breezes, lots of screened doors and very large porch were such a hit with the family.

Second time at this location…what we like in a VRBO. It is spacious, clean and well located for daily adventures around island. The sound of the ocean waves is ever present. Well equipped but affords space for your personal items. I love the kitchen, we love to cook❤️.

The property is at the back of a small neighborhood. The road in and out is steep, but not stressfull due to low traffic and plenty of width. The beach is smooth pebbles. It looks awesome. Sunsets are beautiful. Water is great for snorkeling. The kitchen is well stocked. The veranda is a great spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing and traveling.

The property is great and location beautiful. Clarification that the "pebble" beach really means a Big Island, rocky-type beach, not always safe for swimming would be helpful. While the open screened nature of the property is amenable to breezes, there are times where the humidity and lack of wind combine to make it uncomfortably hot in the house. Some airconditioning for those times would be appreciated. The amenities like the grill, snorkeling equipment, kayak, etc. are all great and in good condition. Really made our stay more enjoyable.

This place was super convenient to Pebbles beach with great snorkeling! It was fully stocked with beach gear and full kitchen. But it was very warm there, I guess because it’s at the bottom of the mountain. It could have just been a warm patch of weather during our stay. It did cool down a little bit at night. And it really is a beautiful location that was just a couple hundred feet from the beach! The road down to the house is a 1/2 mile down a windy stretch of mountainside. It’s helpful to have an all wheel drive/4-wheel drive vehicle on the big island.

Very nice, comfortable house. The quiet was lovely and all the cactuses are AMAZING. Loved the little gecko living in the conch. Made me smile every day.

This is a very comfortable, spacious, airy house in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from Pebble Beach. House is well-provisioned and rental agents very responsive. Enjoy the sound of surf and bird calls. This was my second stay at this house, and I hope to come here again.

Great spot 1 block from black pebble beach. Fans and airflow and screens kept cool. Location between volcano and Kailua can allow easy access to either. Loved it.

This property was as advertised, actually better than advertised. I was unsure if there was a view of the ocean from the lanai, and I can confirm indeed there is a lovely view. You will hear the pounding surf at night. As stated, there is no AC, but I found the home to be comfortable at all times without it. The kitchen is well appointed. I loved the location, which is quiet and somewhat isolated from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas further north. Indeed, you are a good 25-30 minutes away from any kind of restaurant or civilization. The beach was quite turbulent most of the time I was here, so don't come expecting clear still waters. That said, Pebbes Beach is a sight to behold, unlike any other beach I have seen bounded by primordial lava rock. Make sure you find the path to the right that leads to more beach front. I enjoyed walking down from the house to the beach to watch the sun set every night. As others have noted, the road to/from the property will probably be the steepest road most people will encounter in their lives (San Franciscans exempt), but it's still perfectly safe and smooth in even a basic rental car. Just go slow. I look forward to returning to this property again in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The beach is your back yard at this house in a quiet private neighborhood. If you are looking for solitude this is the place. The home is beautiful. The kitchen is great and the tall open ceilings made for a breezy home. The only real downside is the road down is scary steep and you have to drive 20 minutes to get to food and essentials. But it was worth a few days of solitude south Kona.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was very clean and adequately supplied with the necessary things for a comfortable stay. The trade winds easily blow through the home because of the generous windows and as long as the windows are open it stays cool. This is the third time we have rented this home and we will be back again
