Discover the Serenity of Keokea Beach Sweet Retreat in North Kohala

Welcome to the enchanting Keokea Beach Sweet Retreat, a stunning 2-bedroom cottage located along the picturesque route to Keokea Beach Park in the beautiful region of North Kohala. This tranquil hideaway is nestled in an authentic old Hawaiian neighborhood, surrounded by lush tropical foliage and elevated above a seasonal stream that flows through a charming gulch.

The cedar home exudes luxury with its exquisite wood finishes, featuring cabinets crafted from African mahogany, koa, maple, and red gum eucalyptus, creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is visually striking. The floors are adorned with a variety of eight different woods, while cathedral ceilings fill the space with natural light, enhancing the feeling of openness throughout the retreat.

Step outside onto the expansive deck where you can relax and soak in the breathtaking views of Maui, along with a glimpse of the ocean below. The surrounding landscape offers a sense of privacy and seclusion, yet you are just a short drive away from the delightful towns of Kapaau and Hawi. For outdoor enthusiasts, Keokea Beach Park is within walking distance, making it easy to join local families for picnics or whale watching during the season!

If you're looking for adventure, take a quick drive or run just 2 miles to Pololu Valley and hike down to its stunning black sand beach. This fertile area, known for its rich soil and gentle rains, was once the breadbasket for ancient Hawaiians, and it's said that this very property was home to King Kamehameha's private Taro patch.

The master bedroom features a king-size bed, while the second bedroom offers a cozy double bed. A conveniently located bathroom sits between the two bedrooms for easy access. Additionally, a separate cedar hale nearby allows us to assist you when needed while granting you complete privacy; we often travel, meaning you may have the entire property to yourself! An outdoor shower near the laundry area adds to the experience of living harmoniously with nature.

This beautiful retreat lets you wake up and pick fresh breakfast straight from the trees—enjoy delicious papayas, mangoes, bananas, macadamia nuts, lemons, Tahitian limes, and collard greens that flourish right on the grounds. Revel in peaceful evenings under a starlit sky filled with the Milky Way, as local hiking trails and fantastic beaches are just a short stroll away.

Summary: If you are looking for some peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It truly is a retreat. Susan has anticipated every need her guests may have and stocked the house accordingly with towels, linens, kitchen supplies and beach supplies. We enjoyed the visiting lizards and birds and the starry nights. If you don't mind being a little out of the way, this is the perfect place to stay in Hawaii!
