Make this home your base camp for all of your Big Island adventures. This unique round house with spectacular ocean views is located one hour from Hawaii Volcano National Park and one hour to Kona, a midpoint location for your sightseeing delights.

Simply relax around your own private pool viewing the countless whales and dolphins passing by in late November- April. The house has 2 bedrooms; one is a large loft with a queen bed, the master has a king bed and in the living room, a very comfortable queen sofa sleeper.
The bathroom is beautiful and boasts a, private, tropically decorated outdoor shower that we affectionately call the " Relaxation Grotto".
Beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, shade canopy and beach umbrella are available for your use when traveling around the island. The house includes a washer and drier.
The kitchen is well equipped for all of your cooking needs as well as a nice BBQ on the deck for pool side feasts you can create. There is Wifi and Direct TV and 4 TVS . Our tax ID # is W-93553988-01

The stay was nice. We wouldn't stay in the home again primarily because of the road leading to it. I wish I had done a little more research in to that prior to booking.
Thank you,
Monica

This house has amazing views and was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet. I think we underestimated the drive from the highway to the property; it was pretty steep and winding and took us about 15 minutes to get down to the house and maybe 10 minutes to get back out. We got used to it though. We really enjoyed our stay!

We liked the remote location (make sure you stop and get food and supplies before you get there). Great, friendly neighborhood for walk. Great views from the pool.

For this visit, we wanted to stay more to the south so we could explore that area and Volcanoes (1.5 hr.). Kona is about an hours drive north. No restaurants or groceries close by but well-stocked kitchen and bath. Just purchase groceries before arriving. Great to have a W/D. Outdoor shower was good and private. Bed has topper that was a bit too soft for our liking. Warm in the evenings if no trade-winds but lots of fans to somewhat help out. Mid-80's when we visited in early October. Would suggest a second key with one left in the lockbox in case the primary key is misplaced. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Round House although a bit disappointed that the view to the ocean included a hodgepodge of so many houses. Did enjoy the sunsets though...

This is an amazing place to stay. Quiet location for those who do not want to be in the "thick of it". All the amenities that one could need. Nicely located to explore Hawaii. The owners were kind and helpful.

The property is lovely with stunning views. The owners have amazing attention to detail. Love the spa shower and the screened outdoor "oasis". So grateful for all of the items the owners provide such as bottled water dispensers, spices, multiple coffee makers, laundry and dish soap... too much to mention! Highly recommend this home.

The home is everything we expected… away from traffic and tourists! Perfect for a couple! Sunsets were awesome! The home was very clean, and beds very comfortable. 30 miles south of Kona. So expect an hour drive to town. Great location to drive north or south when visiting the entire island.
Our 10 day stay was just right!

The house is out further from town which was exactly what we wanted! The neighborhood was quiet and had a beautiful view of the ocean and the hills. The pool was perfect! It has a good bit of shade to get of the sun and the heat. Would love to stay here again!!! Be prepared for mosquitos. We got ate up the first day. Went and got bug spray and we were good the rest of the trip.

As advertised: well kept up, easy to contact owner for one minor problem (power-on glitch, I think), amazing interior decorating...see to believe, automatic outdoor lighting surprised us when it came on, considerable outside seating, separate screened outside seating area w/hammock, all appliances worked, some spices, etc. supplied. Light pool upkeep requested...no problem, interesting view...guess you'd say we enjoyed ourselves.! Info to owners: Road to house was repaved and slightly widened while we were there. Road machinery operators were easy to deal with.

The only hiccup was not getting information from Craig regarding key access and didn't have any reception to contact upon arrival. But we are still in paradise and eventually it all worked out. We couldn't have asked for a better accommodation. The house and property are beautiful and welcoming. The perfect place to unwind after exploring the island and watching sunsets.

Anticipate the long way down on a windy (paved) road passing farms and overlooking the ocean. Would recommend arriving with daylight. Very close to Miloli'i Beach park which is a small pristine patch of sand + volcano rock beach. Stock up on food before going, there aren't many nearby spots (closest food ~30 minutes any direction). Very nice house with fully stocked kitchen, many fans and seating areas. Awesome pool + grill and outdoor lenai. Mesmerizing sunsets every night, watch the sun sink into the Pacific. House is located on old lava flow and can see this clearly in the surrounding areas. Mosquitos come out at sundown, and there is no AC if you're wondering. House somewhat isolated but is nicely situated between Kona and Volcanos. Me and my girlfriend had an amazing time exploring the Island from this location. Top reco would be Miloli'i beach park but be respectful! Other highlights include beautiful ocean views from pool/house, Coffee man at beginning of road, Geckos everywhere, isolated feel, awesome kitchen

This is a great spot, with lots of little tucked away spots. There is a lanai, a pool, several little table/chair spots, and an upstairs loft.
This was a perfect spot with kids, as the pool makes for an easy distraction and a nice cool-off for everyone.
Gorgeous ocean view.
The things to consider are that there are not a lot of resources nearby. It's 20 minutes or so to the main road, and another 15-20 to the closest stores.
The terrain around this neighborhood is a lava flow, so the main attraction of the view is the very wide view of the ocean. It's a pretty amazing ocean view, and we had really gorgeous sunsets.
It was a really nice kitchen to cook in, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful
First, stock up in Kona—there are no stores near the house, and the closest is WAY overpriced ($10 for half a gallon of orange juice). Once you're off the main road, the road to the property is narrow and curvy, but you get used to it after you drive it a few times.
The house was tidy, comfortable, and well-stocked, and the view was amazing.
Make sure to venture down to the beach by the house—we had it all to ourselves and watched giant waves crashing onto the rocks—it was pure magic.
We'd recommend the house to anyone who wants an authentic experience of the Big Island that you can't get at a resort.

Wonderful place of peace
The perfect stay to celebrate my husband’s birthday. House is beautiful, efficient, and stocked with everything you need. Homeowner’s artwork is a special touch. I’m already planning my next escape to the Tranquil Whale!!

BEAUTIFUL home and unique setting
This home offers EVERYTHING - the private pool is quite the luxury and the view is stunning. We walked to the coastline and explored rocks and arches. The road down requires that you go slowly and the neighborhood is peaceful. We enjoyed our stay there! Thank YOU!!

Beautiful home with a great view
We loved our stay at the Tranquil Whale. It had everything we needed and the house and deck/pool area were perfect! We loved the natural life - especially looking out for goats and whale watching. The shower was amazing. It was a perfect place to spend the first week of our Big Island vacation. When we visit the Big Island again, we would welcome staying at this home. Thank you so much for a great visit!

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful vacation. The house was the perfect size for our family of 4. Spent mornings watching the beautiful sunset and evenings out in the screened in porch watching the sunset. Our kids said their favorite part was the pool. The house has everything you need to go to the beach. We also enjoyed watching the geckos run around on the deck. We would love to come back again.

Amazing and unique
Wow, there is so much to say about this place, but I'll start with the word amazing!The views were stunning and with the abundant seating options, everyone could enjoy the views in their own level of comfort. It was a bit intimidating getting to the property the first time because I did not read other reviews ahead of time to find it was a bit off the road and was winding to go get there, but it was worth the initial white knuckles. The decorstions are unique, the set up is charming. It got a bit warm with no AC, but the light showers cooled it down. The house is stocked with every appliance and tool you will need to cook amything you want. The small detail of an extensive spice cabinet personally made my day. I could write forever about this place, but save me and you the time and book today!

Round House and the Night Sky
My partner and I were able to spend 5 nights at the this delightful property. It was our home base for our exploration of the Kona coast. Lynn, who was maintaining the property, was kind and helpful. While Miloli’i is a distance from Kailua-Kona, I encourage folks to take the opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous landscape as you wind and wend up the coast. Everything about check-in and check-out was easy and seamless. I had lost the email with the check-in information and Craig was quick to respond. The view was lovely, but the sunsets and the night sky blew me away. This is the place to stay if you want an off-the-beaten-path, unique stay. We would happily return.

Great peaceful retreat!
This was a great rental, we truly loved our stay! The home is located in a nice secluded area with a beautiful view of the water and the sunsets! Everything was super cozy to the decor of the home to the screen room, very convenient pool, and beautiful outdoor bathroom. The owner responded very promptly and was super generous and kind I would definitely love to stay here again and get to explore the big island some more! We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to the next time

Relaxing in paradise
We spent 4 days here last week and we couldn't be happier that we did! The house has everything you need and then some. The best snorkeling on the island is just down the hill and a beautiful uncrowded black and white sand beach is an easy 30 minute hike from the "town" church This is a place to just completely unwind and check out for a while. Can't wait to go back!!!

Adorable home with a gorgeous view
This was such a cute house. The pool and patio were incredible. The view of the ocean was spectacular. Pictures do not do it justice. We saw so many beautiful sunsets. This is a bit of a drive from Kona but it is well worth the trip! Owners were great and neighbor was very friendly.

Tranquil and lovely
We loved our stay at this property. It’s well set up for a family of four. The view is absolutely amazing, and if you are lucky and can catch a glimpse of a clear night sky, the view is the stars is astounding.
I appreciated the art every where. Fun little pieces are tucked onto every wall, even in the shower! We loved this little home, the kids loved the pool, and it was a great place to disconnect from the world and unwind.

No ka Oi!
Our experience at this beautiful location exceeded our expectations. It's isolation from the rest of the world was just what we were looking for. The decor was artsy and the views were amazing. The squitors were probably the most active from 8-10am when the winds were calmer and then again from 4-6pm. But we prepared for them accordingly once we knew when they would be active. We have a 2yr old son, so it was challenging to keep everything secured and safe for him but not impossible. If you're not into home cooking, dinning out is not convienent. Otherwise, load up on food and drinks then settle into a dreamy stay at this awesome spot. Definitely going to try get back here soon. Mahalo Craig!

Tranquil Whale Experience
We are return renters! We love this location. The pool was fabulous! Accommodations are amazing! We had everything we could have asked for. Waking up to this amazing view was breathtaking! I see a two month vacation coming next year. It gets harder and harder to leave. The avocodos you can buy on the long winding road are the best!

very nice stay
I think that some might find it out of the way, and not a good fit. I was lucky to have done the reviewing of the area and was happy with no worries about the drive and the out of the way area. The pool was great.. as the sea was rough and it was a great view and the house was such a fun place to just hang out and enjoy. Thank you so much for a perfect and lovely time.

We loved the fact that this beautiful home was off the beaten path - so it is not for everyone - but if you are seeking a quiet, private get away with stunning ocean views, whale watching from the deck and your own private pool, this place can't be beat. The house was clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed to make our stay easy and relaxing.

Beautiful and quiet getaway!
Everything you need except food is at this wonderful spot! Hit up the grocery stir and then drive about 45 min to this getaway... its perfect especially if you just want to relax and not be busy! I especially enjoyed my morning coffee in hammock and the evening sunsets in the same place ... we didn’t really care too much about going and doing a bunch of stuff so this was a perfect place for us to stay and just relax. Beautiful drive to and from town and lots of things you can stop and look at along the way... having your own pool is a huge bonus! Highly recommend stocking up on mosquito spray and after bite products but honestly the beauty is worth a few bites haha
