vrKCV, Orchid Hale, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations

Access to the Orchid Hale property is via a rustic farm driveway, flanked by coffee trees. At the stone pillars, the property opens up to a secluded, park like sanctuary. The house is perched on an 1 & 1/2 acres of lushly landscaped grounds, facing the Pacific Ocean. There are bananas, lychee, passion fruit, avocado, mango and more. You can enjoy the spectacular Kona sunsets, and distant views of Kailua-Kona from two lanais.

This property has 2 bedrooms upstairs both with queen beds and adjoining baths. Then downstairs through an outside path is an additional bedroom with a queen bed and adjoining bath. The houses unique Hawaiian layout uses Shoji doors to close off the rooms that are otherwise open to the main living area. WiFi has been upgraded to seamlessly support multiple guests working remotely, providing high speed access anywhere in the house and on the lanais.

Sit and just gaze out at the Pacific Ocean and watch famous Kona sunsets. Take a walk and enjoy the beauty of tropical flowers and exotic foliage or watch the posse of roosters and chickens that roam the grounds. Explore a quaint little village and tour the local art galleries.

This location in Holualoa is perfect to travel either north toward Waimea, Hilo or the Kohala coast. Or south towards Kealakekua Bay, Honaunau and around the southern tip of the island on up to Volcano National Park and Kilauea volcano. If it's the excitement and activities of Kailua-Kona you desire, it's just a 15 minute drive down the hill.

The Orchid Hale is just a short walk to Holualoa artist's village and located on the slope of an ancient volcano (Hualalai) overlooking Kailua-Kona, The Orchid Hale reflects a style typical to a Hawaii of years past. It is in the heart of the Kona coffee region surrounded by exotic coffee plantations with an occasional neighbor's house peeking through the trees.

Fall asleep to the sound of Coqui frogs and wake up to Roosters in this quaint country setting.

Minimum night varies seasonally 5 - 10 nights. Property is non-ADA compliant, non-smoking, and no pets are allowed.

Great Experience!
We loved our trip! The house was very clean and well appointed. The Orchid Hale is a special gem. We loved being out of the commercial zone, enjoying the beautiful property, wonderful sunsets, and listening to Coqui Frogs at night. The beach and snorkel gear provided were a big plus.

Beautiful place, amazing location was secluded but short walk to fantastic dining and shopping. Loved every minute. If noises bother you, roosters and Koki frogs could be an issue. I didn’t mind either. We hope to return some day!

Hawaiian Bliss
This house was MORE than described...a beautiful, beautiful home with everything we needed for comfort AND fun. We appreciated the sand chairs, umbrellas and cooler, as well as floaties. There was no skimping on toilet paper, paper towels, or garbage bags. They even provided some laundry soap. We wondered why they had earplugs in the bedrooms....it was the evening frogs...LOL..After night one, we enjoyed falling asleep to their music. The gardens were lovely..and the views devine! Kudos to KonaCoast Vacations for the welcome gift, fluffed pillows and flowers and plants on the tables. We felt truly pampered!?

The location was exactly what I was hoping for, close to everything but felt like a far away land. The sunsets on the ocean from the screened in porch were amazing and the acre of tropical landscaping did not disappoint. We all agreed it was a very special place.

A little slice of paradise
Stayed here with my parents, my sister in law, my wife and our daughter. Everything about the stay was great and the property management was the best we've ever had. Less than 15 minutes to respond ton any issues and issues were fixed right away. The property is large and secluded with amazing views of the water and sunsets. The one downside is that the location is about 15 minutes away from everything like beaches, major stores etc. There is a small area for coffee and food nearby though that can be walked to. Otherwise the amenities were great and we would definitely return.

Tropical Escape
This property is it true Hawaii Island escape. Sitting on several acres surrounded by fruit bearing trees, stunning vegetation, manicured lawns, and stunning views of the ocean. This authentic-style Hawaiian home takes advantage of the cool trade winds allowing you to become part of nature with absolute privacy. Dining on the larger Lanai is breathtaking. This property includes a complimentary concierge who will help you plan your entire stay on the island. We will most definitely be booking this beautiful property again on our next day on the main island.

Beautiful property!
The property was beautiful! We loved the location - not close to a beach, but on the mountain side surrounded by coffee plants and lots of other lush vegetation. Not only was the property gorgeous but we enjoyed the daily visits from a couple of chickens and a bunny. Our little granddaughter was very excited about the animals! The house was very comfortable and well-appointed, with an inviting zen-like feel. Dinner every night on the lanai was a must so that we could watch the spectacular sunsets.

Doesn’t get much better than this!
Everything about our stay at the Orchid Inn was stelar. The property is gorgeous, inside and out. We spent most of our time enjoying the lanai, watching the animals and taking in the incredible view. The house is gorgeous inside, plenty of room for the five of us. We had all the amenities we needed - a fully stocked kitchen (even Tupperware and to go mugs!), beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler), and plenty of outside seating. There were even a couple small tables with chairs nestled into lovely corners of the yard. The property is 15 minutes up the hill from downtown Kona and grocery stores, and a short walk down the driveway will get you to the little art district of Holualoa where you’ll find coffee shops and little boutiques, even a small general store. We would recommend this property to anyone, and hope we can make it back for another trip. It was my parents’ first time in Hawaii, and they both want to stay at this property again. It’s a mountain oasis, and made our trip.

Great property on the side of Mauna Loa
Away from the hustle of Kona, this property sits on the side of Mauna Loa in an arts village called Holualoa. Even being away from the town, there are still expansive views and it is one of our favorite properties on the island. Great communication and easy to get into, although make sure to follow the directions to the place that are sent by the manager as Google Maps can't get you there.

Perfect family vacation
This property was exactly as described and more. All the amenities included! We had boogie boards, beach, chairs, and beach towels, washer and dryer! All the appliances work fantastic and it was a nice surprise to have a coffee press! The view is amazing! Beautiful way to wake up every morning with the light coming in from every window, hearing the frogs, roosters, and everything else come to live each morning was perfect! Never slept better! The beds were super comfortable everything was clean and tidy. My son proposed to his girlfriend at the botanical gardens, which made it even more special. Play games at night and we have plenty of room for six adults. Thank you thank you! I will definitely recommend and if we ever go back, we would love to stay again. Amazing vacation we will forever. Have memories there.

Beautiful and restful
This property was magnificent. It was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of any city life and sitting just on top of the small village of Honolua. The frogs sang you to sleep and they did leave a large box of earplugs for the roosters in the morning. Great property and would definitely stay there again!

midnight frog songs and morning bird chorus
After the hullabaloo of travel to the island and trying to find this accommodation by the light of the moon, when we arrived, we were gobsmacked by its beauty. The midnight frog songs and morning bird chorus were mesmerizing. What an absolutely perfect place to call home for our stay in Holualoa. This accommodation is wonderful. We felt a warm welcome and were sad to leave. Directions could be more clear especially to find it at night. But the house had everything one would need and more. It's super private and the lanais look down on the property's own mini coffee plantation & beautiful landscape and with views to Kona and the ocean below.

Great Place to Stay
To be honest the first time I stepped into the home I was questioning my decision. I quickly processed that this is a home for Hawaii and not Kansas City. We grew to love the place quickly. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. I was prepared to listen to a lot of Roosters crowing based on other reviews, but that was not the case at all. We had one small problem with a toilet, and it was fixed immediately. It is a little hard to find and you have to drive past two other homes to get there. I would stay here again.

Amazing Property
We were very happy with this rental property! Everything was comfortable and well stocked. One of our favorite features was the deck area with a table and chairs to relax and play card games...the area was well screened, so that there was no problems with bugs, etc. but was also surrounded by a beautiful, large, red-flowered plant which attracted lots of beautiful birds and nature. As well, the grounds of the house were a very special experience for our family. There were absolutely beautiful flowers and plants as well as fruit trees, coffee trees and a few cool critters here and there, including a lovely white rabbit. Just fun to take walk around in the morning with a coffee in-hand. Yes, there was the sound of nature at night -i.e. frogs and such - we just used the ear plugs provided at first and didn't even really notice the sounds by the time we left. Lastly, we really enjoyed the temperature...being slightly higher-up in altitude we found it to be a great location to cool off after a hot day on the beach. At the same time, it was still only about 15-20 minutes to everything. One more thing, we loved the art stores and such within easy walking distance of the house - approx. 10 minute walk. I would give this house more than 10 if I could!

Awesome experience! Thank you!
It was nice staying at a place when you wake up and really feel you're in Hawaii. Sunsets are beautiful and you can see it from master's bedroom, living room and downstairs bedroom. The place is clean. I just wished there was an AC (however there are fans in the garage you can use) and the downstairs bedroom has access from the main house. The place is safe and is well-equipped with necessities. Don't forget to check out the garage as the property management supplied some noodles, boogie boards, etc to use. This place is very spacious. Property management response is adequate. Thank you for letting us stay!

Wonderful stay on the Big Island
Orchid Inn was a beautiful place to stay on the Big Island. The location was a touch hard to find the first time, but then we appreciated being up the hill with fantastic views. It's a short drive down to Kailua-Kona and we used it as a springboard for trips to the Kilauea, Hilo, and the north shore. The screened-in lanai is fantastic. The kitchen is well supplied. Good washer and dryer. Just perfect. The frogs and roosters are a bit loud, but we got used to them (the ear plugs in the downstairs apartment were appreciated). We'll stay here again if and when we come back to Hawai'i.

A Slice of Paradise
I'm so happy we decided to stay at this location and not in Kailua proper. It was only a short drive to all the major attractions and conveniences of greater Kona, but the property gave the illusion of seclusion on the mountain. It was quiet, peaceful, colorful. There's wide variety of flora on site, and a fair amount of fauna, too. I personally loved the frog serenade each night and rooster chorus at dawn. (There are earplugs in the home for those who didn't.) We enjoyed several breathtaking sunsets from the lanai. The early morning vista, with the water glistening in the distance, is equally as beautiful. It is a short walk to the center of Holualoa, an artsy hub with a neat vibe. There are a few galleries, boutiques, and a great coffee shop. If you're lucky enough to visit in the beginning of the month, you will enjoy the local food vendors and music of First Friday. The home itself is clean, spacious, and fully-stocked with anything you might need for your comfort. The cooler temperatures at that altitude make AC unnecessary. The window screens and ceiling fans help to push air around, otherwise it might get a bit damp. The value of the wrap-around lanai (open and screened) cannot be overstated. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it for anyone looking for a central, yet peaceful spot from which to enjoy Hawaii Island.
