Romantic Tropical Retreat, 150 yds from the Ocean!
Please note, effective Jan 1st. 2026, Hawaii`s Transient Accommodations Tax will increase from 10.25% to 11% for all stays with an arrival in 2026 forward. We may need to collect the tax difference to secure and finalize your booking. We will contact you to confirm the adjusted amount.
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. For same-day bookings, please contact us directly to check availability.
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!
Please note:
- This multi-level home is not accessible for guest with disabilities, nor is it childproof.
- The space downstairs is only used by the owners. It has a separate entrance and is not connected to the rental unit.
- A clearly marked turn takes you from an elevation of 1,200 ft into the quiet Kona Paradise community, right down to sea level and the ocean.
- Maid service available for an additional fee.
- Stays over 15 days require a mid-stay clean which will be collected after booking.
- While we strive to keep all photos up to date, there may be new and updated pieces of furniture or décor that are different than in the original pictures. The functionality, available seating and sleeping space will remain the same or may improve.
- Pictures were last updated in July 2023.
