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!

Nice Place
It was great until the owner came by the last day around 9:00 asking us when we were leaving and I said the checkout time at 11:00. He said he has another person coming that day with an attitude. I did not say anything, but we paid to 11:00 and not my problem that he had another client coming in . It just messed up a great time and great place they have and they had been very nice up until then.

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.

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.

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.
