Kona Paradise - Stunning Ocean Views from Lanai - Captain Cook, Hawaii

Escape from the lights and traffic of downtown Kona in this ocean side retreat. Experience breath-taking ocean views and sunsets while in the comfort of this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Enjoy peace and comfort while you experience the real bounty of Hawaii’s natural beauty.

Off the beaten path with stunning views of historic Captain Cook, this 2 bedroom 2 bath home is the essence of real island living. Raised to contend with the sloping mountain it’s built on, take in enormous views of the ocean and surrounding Hawaiian canopy. A prime location for several iconic Big Island beaches, including Pebble Beach located directly at the bottom of the hill.

The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed (mattress replaced August 2021) and an attached bathroom. The guest bedroom has two twin beds and an attached bathroom. The house is located at a cool altitude and each bedroom is equipped with ceiling fan to keep the air moving throughout the house. There are also two more ceiling fans located in the living room and kitchen area.

Enjoy a margarita out on the lanai while you soak in the sweeping views of this tropical island paradise. Escape the Hawaiian sun and relax in the living room in front of the 43” flat screen Smart TV enabling you to watch all your favorite streaming services. The unit also has free wifi, so feel free to log in on your smartphone, laptop, or any other gadgets. Also included in the house is a local phone for any calls to the United States.

The full kitchen comes complete with an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. You’ll have total access to all those home-cooked meals sorely missed in most vacation settings. If cooking isn’t your idea of a fun vacation, just take a drive up to South Kona and enjoy one of the area’s amazing restaurants.

The unit is equipped with a washer and dryer on site, so no need to pack quarters just so you can have clean clothes. Parking is available in the private driveway.

Beautiful Pebble Beach is just 5 minutes away! A hidden gem that is the perfect setting for snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, and boating.

Kona Paradise is built with a catchment water system for all non-potable water needs, and we provide two 5-gallon jugs of fresh spring water to get you started with easy refills at the filling station located at Choicemart.

The driveway is very steep and we recommend either 4WD or parking at street level.

We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags. We also have air mattress, pack and play, and high chair available for rent.

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 the most authentic option for a true island living experience.

Not quite what I was hoping for
Pros: Great communication - very prompt reply. Decent pricing. Plenty of gear available for snorkeling etc. Neutral: As other reviewers mentioned, the mosquitos are a bit of a pain. As the host informed us, the driveway is ridiculously steep - parked on the street when not loading or unloading. Cons: While pleasant and clean, after a while it was clear that the overall vibe was "good enough." There were a lot of things that could be improved, large and small. Example: the seating in the living room is half of a sectional couch, plus an ottoman with a pillow against the wall. The first position of the couch was comfortable, the rest were not. So there is seating for four, but only comfortable seating for one. Good enough. The other thing that lowered the rating was the second giant cockroach. The first one chose to expire dramatically in the bathroom sink. Hey, no big deal, guess the pest control is working. The second one was on the shelf in the bedroom with my underwear as I was packing to leave. I had to unpack my suitcase, shake everything out, then repack while keeping an eye out for hitchhikers. It was a toss up between two and three stars. It came down to a simple question: Would I stay here again? The answer is no, hence only two stars.

Lovely bungalow
Property was as advertised. Peaceful beautiful view. However it was a VERY steep road and driveway. When wet the road became slick and at one point tires spinning we were crossing fingers that we would make it to the highway. But all good. Would stay again

My daughter and I stayed here in July 2024. The view from the Lanai is exceptional, the inside of the property is a bit worn and dated, but everything we tried to use worked as it should. We spent most of the time we were at the house on the Lanai enjoying the beautiful view.

Pictures don't give the view justice
Great property, clean and comfortable. Would be great for up to 4 people and fine for kids. The lanai is bigger than the picture makes it out to be and the view is really spectacular. Would totally stay there again. Definitely go down to the beach at the bottom of the road (it's a drive not a walk). Awesome snorkeling and just listening to the waves roll across the pebbles is a memory I hope I don't lose. The road and driveway here is much steeper than I expected. We had a AWD Nissan Murano and tried the driveway and bottomed out - we parked on the street the rest of our stay and it was fine. If you are not good with stairs this could be a problem for you. Getting to the property you could probably be fine without AWD but if you want to go to the beach you probably need AWD because it's so steep. My only feedback for the owners - the couch is really uncomfortable. Unrelated to the property general advice: You must be prepared for how far out of town this is. We stayed for 3 nights and brought groceries to have dinner and breakfast at the house every day. If you are looking for a base on the Kona side and then go out to dinner every night this area is not good for you.

Incredible Sunsets
This property was spacious and comfortable. View from the lanai was spectacular. quiet neighborhood. Do take the warnings about the steep driveway. As two people in our 70’s, we had to exert a great deal of energy to get our luggage down the driveway and up the outdoor stair! Once we loaded in everything was perfect!

Beautiful Views!
We loved our stay in the house for the weekend. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and the views are incredible from the lanai. We love the beach and taking in the sunsets. The driveway is very steep and you should just park on the side of the road in front of the house. Great stay!

Amazing view, nice big kitchen, laundry a plus , great deal
Thanks for an incredible stay. Sunset views incredible. Some convenient products left by previous occupants like bug repellant. We added chili powder to the kitchen! Bring body soap if you need it as they do have hand soap and shampoo but we bought our own bar. Loved the little cooler and snorkeling gear and beach chairs. So helpful!! The auto motion detector in the master bathroom is a bit fussy so I would turn it to “on” when using it.

Relaxing stay
Stay was great hate to leave. Was not as clean when got there as it should have been. Previous reviews are correct about property needing updated and it needs new small appliances like coffee maker so on. Warm all to take the warning about driveway it is steep. Over all great seating on Lanai having Kona coffee in morning or watching sun set and Dolphins play thought seen a whale but not sure bring your binoculars forgot mine and none to be found in town

Comfortable, ocean view accommodations.
Upper Kona Paradise neighborhood. Laundry facilities and carport were handy for cleaning and drying our snorkeling gear. Great view from the deck. Full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. If you don’t have a 4WD vehicle you must park at the street. Driveway is steep. There are steps on one side. Not suitable for someone with mobility issues.

Roaches
I could list many thing I did not like about this house but I only need to mention one. Roaches. There were roaches in the cabinets. When I looked under the sink there was roach spray front and center. The owners know it has roaches otherwise why would there be spray. We were supposed to stay for two nights and we packed up and left.

Real Hawaii
This is a simple house that could use some love. The mattresses are very soft and the appliances are old but in good working order. The kitchen could use some baking sheets or pans and the living area windows need updated shades. Some minor problems with ants in the kitchen area. That being said, the view from the lanai is breathtaking; there is a wide variety of birds and the sunsets are gorgeous. The neighborhood is generally very quiet. First Hawaiian Realty is very helpful and easy to work with.

Perfect Place for the Best Vacation Ever!
We are a family of four with two little boys (5&7). This was by far the best vacation we ever had, and we have traveled extensively. We all loved coming home to the "beach house" at the end of long days sightseeing, snorkeling, hiking, etc. Some reviews say it needs updating, but it's not hard to look past the little paint here or there, or some rust here or there when there is beauty all around you. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the boys were right across the hall. The little rock beach down the hill and the black sand beach (a very short hike from the rock beach) were perfect places to hang out in the evening with a glass of wine while the boys played. We will be back to this Captain Cook retreat! My wife wants to make this our annual winter vacation.
