Holualoa Studio Cottage - GIANT OCEAN VIEW! Cool, private, near town

We are located on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, directly above Kailua-Kona, on the side of Mt Hualalai, in Holualoa, with an awesome ocean and coastline view! Please read our reviews because the view from the cottage lanai is better than we can describe in words!
Our custom built studio cottage is about 500 sq. feet with a roomy wide lanai, and special bistro high seating to enjoy the fabulous ocean view. MUST see to appreciate!
The cool elevation of our cottage is 1400 ft. with a beautiful view of the coastline over Honokohau Harbor. The sunsets we get to enjoy are incredible! The coqui frogs will sing to you in the early eve but quiet down during the middle of the night. Some call them them "night singing birds".
Holualoa town itself, is a small quaint art village now, and a classic old small Hawaiian town with lots of history. Holualoa area is a very preferred area to stay and live because of the cooler temperatures, Kona coffee country all around, coastline views, and it's close proximity to town.
There are several events in our village including "First Fridays" each month when local artists, musicians, food booths and more are all along the streets through Holualoa Town. We love Holualoa and know you will too!

Beautiful sky views

This place was very clean and had beautiful sky views. We watched an amazing lightening storm one morning, a display of double rainbows the next morning and then watched the setting full moon on the third morning. It is very close to everything in Kona/Kailua.

Perfect place for two

Very cozy, clean, and welcoming cottage. Location was central for exploring up and down the coast. Host was very easy to communicate with. Many amenities were included which made the stay even more pleasant. Had wonderful sunset views and I loved hearing the chirping birds through the day and frogs at night. Grounds are attractive and front porch is great to relax and or eat outside. I would definitely stay there again.

Honeymoon in Kona

The property was a great cottage on the side of a mountain in Kona. Close driving range to everything we wanted to do. A perfect place to watch the sunset and listen to the wildlife at night.

Relaxing getaway

The property is a great place for a couple to stay on the Big Island. It was close to kailua-kona and in the middle of the Kona coffee belt, making it convenient for meals and activities. The property is secluded and beautiful and was a nice place to relax in the evenings and between activities.

Breathtaking

We absolutlely loved everything about this place! The view was incredible, and we felt lucky waking up there every morning. Billy and Berta were great, and their thoughtful amentities were perfect (they truly thought of everything you might need while staying on the island). I really hope we get to come back one day!

Exceeded expectations

The cottage was just as described and depicted -- only better! More space than we expected, very comfortably arranged, and a very nice outdoor eating area on the front porch with views of the ocean. We love Holualoa and this was a delightful, quiet place to stay with convenient access to roads to Kona.

This home is wonderful, sitting on a hillside overlooking great sunsets each night. It’s near several Kona coffee plantations, and a quick drive down to the beaches and towns. We would highly recommend it!
