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!

During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Hula Daddy Kona Coffee Plantation. A kitchen and a balcony are available in the cottage.

The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine and a balcony
9 minutes on foot from Hula Daddy Kona Coffee Plantation and a 5-minute drive from Mauka Meadows Coffee Farm

Holualoa Studio Cottage - GIANT OCEAN VIEW! Cool, private, near town offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Holualoa cottage is smoke free.

Unforgettable - book it right now!!

Billy and Berta were amazing hosts!! This place has everything you need for an amazing stay in Holualoa. The frogs offered a great natural white noise to sleep to, but they also have ear plugs available if they are too loud for their guests. Beach gear, snorkel gear, beach towels, iron, ironing board, French press, coffee grinder, water kettle, extra fans, detergent, after-sun…were just a few of the things available we took advantage of. It’s way from the tourist areas, but still close enough to enjoy the restaurants if you want. But there are a ton of wonderful shops down the road headed south, including a sweet bread stand that you need to stop at (look for the red flags). We visited in October so it got a little cold at night, but the hosts already had extra blankets available. And while there is no AC, the island is easily your AC - just open the windows and leave them open. Zero negative feedback. Seriously, BOOK IT.

Great ocean view cottage to relax and explore big island

Nice and cozy cottage with ocean view in a gated area. Each day, we enjoyed eating early breakfast in the Lanai with the great ocean view before heading out to explore the island. The property is located in the Kona side of the island within short driving distance to many beautiful Kona beaches (Mahaiula, Kua Bay, Magic Sands Beach...). It is also located near Costco/grocery shopping and Kailua Kona town/dining. We stayed at the cottage 7 nights and used it as a base to visit attractions around the whole island. We rented a 4WD Jeep and was able to visit all key sights thru out the island. Roberta and Billy, the property owners, are very nice and attentive to our needs. We arrived late but had no problem checking in. Communication was great. This is our first visit to the big island and we had a great time. Thank you Roberta and Billy for sharing the cottage with us.

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 retreat

The cottage was just awesome. Had everything we needed for a week’s stay (kitchen, laundry). The property is gorgeous and the views from the Lanai are stunning. One of the best rentals we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. The hosts are Remarkable people. Highly recommend the cottage for 2 people.

Small Cottage

Property was great, View was good, Cogi frogs were loud but knew this going in so had earplugs. My fault I thought it was a full kitchen, (no stove just a microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven and a hotplate), which was fine. We had a great time. Full access to wifi, streaming channels on tv which we checked out but is not why we were there, we were there to see the island. Only has room for 2 people which was perfect for my wife and I. A very nice place to stay for the price. Expect rain in mid June.

The property was great. Cozy place in the mountains. Well kept up, friendly owners. Parking was a bit of a challenge with the steep incline. Rent a vehicle built for that. There is no AC but as the rental states it’s cooler at the elevation your at, I was never really cold or hot there. Also, there is no oven I saw. There is a toaster oven, a hot plate or an outside grill if you plan on cooking food.

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.

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.

A little bit off the beaten path but quiet and relaxing with a wonderful ocean view. Very clean and has everything one could need for a perfect vacation. Hosts did a wonderful job with communication and support with the property. We loved watching both the sunrises and especially the sunsets during our stay. We hope to be able to say again soon.
