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!

This was a great place to stay! The property is away from the hotel area but only 10-15 minutes from beaches. Beautiful view of the ocean and sunset was amazing. Will definitely be coming back to this home away from home.

Perfect couples retreat!

We stayed here a few nights for our Kona side of our trip. The online photos are great, but it looks even better in person. The owners were very friendly and take immaculate care of the property. We would stay here again.

Great Views A Short Drive Outside Of Kona

We had a great stay here on the back half of our vacation. Great views from the lanai, great shower pressure, and a nicely done cottage. The short drive was worth it to be outside and above the town where it was quieter and cooler. The frogs were intense but didn't keep us awake, almost like a white noise machine. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone exploring the Kona area.

A little bit off the beaten path but quiet and relaxing with a wonderful ocean view. Very clean and has everything one could need for a perfect vacation. Hosts did a wonderful job with communication and support with the property. We loved watching both the sunrises and especially the sunsets during our stay. We hope to be able to say again soon.

Beautiful Room With A View

Berta and Billy were friendly and welcoming hosts. The place was sparkling clean and super cute with thoughtful touches and amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and loved the ocean views from the porch. Do bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper since the frogs in the area (coqui) can get quite loud at night. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous accommodation

I have nothing but good things to say about Berta and Billy’s property. Communication was excellent, the cottage itself immaculate and well presented..... goodies on arrival, and I love the unfussy but very comfortable furnishings. Bed gave us a wonderful sleep. It is a little out of the way, but the view and privacy was well worth it. We would stay again in a heartbeat, and I have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous property.

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.

Absolutely perfect

I needed a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of work and decided to visit the Big Island for the first time. Living in Hawaii already, (Maui), my expectations are pretty high when it comes to beautiful settings and tranquility. After viewing the photos available on the website I was relatively convinced that this particular listing was the right one for me and it did not disappoint. Nestled on a quiet street on a mountainside with an amazing view of the ocean, this lovely cottage was more than I could have expected. The cottage itself was immaculate and had all the amenities that one should need for a short or long stay. Only a 10-15 minute drive to the heart of Kailua-Kona where you can enjoy fantastic local cuisine, visit nice beaches or maybe even go bowling. Although it was my first visit to Kona it will definitely not be my last and I intend to revisit this property in the near future! 10 stars!!!

Short Drive to Kona

My husband and I stayed at Berta and Billy's cottage for several nights. We took advantage of the proximity to Kona while enjoying the cooler temps and fantastic view of the coast from our lanai. Berta and Billy checked in to make sure we were settled properly and Billy, the consummate gardener, picked ripe papayas and avocados for us right from his garden! The only caveat about the stay is that the mattress was not firm enough for me. I have back and neck problems and had a hard time sleeping. I guess I could have mentioned this to our hosts but I didn't think (nor expect) they would be able to produce a firmer mattress for me. (My husband, as always, slept like a log.) Other than that issue, which might be just my own, I can't recommend this getaway enough. Mahalo to our friendly and helpful hosts!
