149 Summer Special: Premier Location Between Beaches & Waimea

Welcome to the enchanting 149 Summer Special, a beautifully appointed retreat nestled in an unrivaled location between the stunning beaches and Waimea. Experience the best of Hawaii with this peaceful getaway that’s just perfect for those seeking relaxation and adventure alike.

Your stay includes high-speed Wi-Fi provided by fiber optic internet running at an impressive 1GB speed. For guests concerned about connectivity, we offer personal routers with on/off features and ethernet ports for direct connections.

Spread across two serene acres, this property lies merely five miles from the idyllic Kohala Beaches and four miles from the vibrant Waimea Town. This makes it an ideal choice for visiting parents of HPA students as well.

This spacious hale is designed to accommodate two guests comfortably. It includes a separate master bedroom equipped with luxurious linens, an ensuite bathroom, and a private lanai where you can unwind. Opt for a refreshing shower inside or indulge in a unique outdoor garden shower beneath the stars.

The fully stocked kitchen allows you to prepare delightful meals using fresh organic produce and local Hawaiian foods sourced from nearby farmers markets. Dine elegantly at the large table that comfortably seats four, or choose to grill your favorite delights on the outdoor gas BBQ while enjoying Al Fresco dining on the second lanai.

Your living area is a cozy haven ideal for watching television or losing yourself in a good book from our carefully curated library. The breathtaking mountain and ocean views are complemented by the mild climate that comes with our 1700' elevation, making this private apartment a romantic honeymoon hideaway or a comfortable base for all your island excursions.

You're just moments away from the finest beaches on the Big Island. Renowned Hapuna Beach consistently ranks among the top ten beaches globally, while Mauna Kea Beach, known for its perfect crescent of golden sand, has also made waves in the rankings. Both spots are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, bodyboarding, and snorkeling.

Explore the rich offerings of Hawaii beyond the beach. Discover the charming Paniolo Town of Waimea with its eclectic shops, art galleries, and fantastic dining options. Make sure to visit one of the many farmers’ markets scattered across the island, which showcase the incredible cultural diversity through locally grown fruits, vegetables, and unique crafts.

Waimea Town serves as an excellent launch point for an unforgettable trip to the Volcano National Park. A scenic drive along the Hamakua Coast leads you to the spectacular views of historic Waipio Valley, home to Akaka Falls and lush tropical foliage. Tour exquisite gardens filled with exotic plants and orchids during your exploration.

If you're looking for something truly extraordinary, the summit of Mauna Kea offers dramatic landscapes and an unforgettable experience. The W. M. Keck Observatory invites visitors to learn about astronomy and enjoy stargazing opportunities.

When it's time to unwind, come back to your serene oasis at Shambhala. If you have a special occasion to celebrate or specific needs, just let us know—we will strive to accommodate your requests. You’ll always feel welcome at Shambhala, and you'll surely find yourself yearning to return to this exceptional retreat.

For further insights into the island, we recommend “Hawaii The Big Island Revealed” by Andrew Doughty (ISBN 13: 978-0-9814610-0-7) as an invaluable guide.
