Kona Paradise Apartment | Romantic Tropical Retreat, 150 yds from the Ocean!

Discover Your Romantic Tropical Retreat, Just 150 Yards from the Ocean!

Welcome to your ideal getaway at Kona Paradise, where you can unwind in this charming tropical home just a short walk of 150 yards to the ocean. With accommodations for up to four adults, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat offers everything you need for an unforgettable vacation.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, Kona Dreams is conveniently located 35 miles south of Kona Airport. The drive to your tropical haven is a visual treat, taking you along the stunning coastline past Kailua-Kona and through the historical charm of Keauhou, Kealakekua, Captain Cook, and Honaunau. As you traverse the fertile landscape, you’ll witness coffee plantations and macadamia groves, all while indulging in the delightful flavors of locally grown fruits.

Upon entering your new home, you'll immediately sense the breezy ambiance designed to keep you comfortable. The spacious living area boasts modern conveniences including a flat-screen TV, media player, WiFi, and an array of games and guidebooks to ensure endless entertainment under the impressive cathedral ceiling supported by solid ohia logs.

Your serene primary bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed crafted from local ohia wood, complete with a walk-in closet, an en-suite bath, and a private lanai for moments of tranquility. The guest room is elegantly appointed with a queen-sized bed and has its own full bathroom and lanai, ensuring all guests enjoy their privacy. The well-equipped kitchen allows you to whip up delightful meals with ease, turning each dining experience into a special occasion.

Located on a gentle hillside, you will be surrounded by breathtaking views of ancient lava flows and shimmering waters. Just a short stroll away, the ocean awaits, promising opportunities for snorkeling or simply basking in the sun on a black lava pebble beach where you might spot turtles or even a monk seal lounging nearby. Relax on your shaded lanai as you soak in the vibrant sunset or scout for whales during migration season.

Your adventure continues at Kaohe Bay, known for its scenic snorkeling spots, where complimentary gear and beach essentials like umbrellas and coolers are provided for your convenience. Nearby attractions include Ho’okena Beach Park and Milolii Beach Park. For quick bites, indulge in freshly brewed 100% Kona coffee at Menehune Coffee, and don’t forget to visit Pu’uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge) and take a day trip to Volcanoes National Park.

Situated just 45 minutes south of Kailua Kona, Kona Paradise invites you to explore the beauty of Hawaii, which we recommend experiencing with a rental car. We provide complimentary starter essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap to make your stay seamless.

Rest assured that our friendly staff is always just a phone call away in case you need assistance during your stay. With warm “Aloha” greetings from First Island Realty, we eagerly await your arrival at this enchanting tropical retreat!

Summary: The house is nice, roomy and quiet. The view is lovely. The house was hot for our whole 11 day stay from July 21-August 1st. We always kept the windows open and patio doors open when at the house. There was not that much of a breeze from outside. We did what the house instructions said in order to cool the house. It did not work. The housekeeper was very kind and brought 2 of her fans to help us out with the heat. It helped a bit but it was still uncomfortable. We would not rent a house in South Kona again without air conditioning.
