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!

The cottage was just as described and depicted -- only better! More space than we expected, very comfortably arranged, and a very nice outdoor eating area on the front porch with views of the ocean. We love Holualoa and this was a delightful, quiet place to stay with convenient access to roads to Kona.

Relaxing getaway
The property is a great place for a couple to stay on the Big Island. It was close to kailua-kona and in the middle of the Kona coffee belt, making it convenient for meals and activities. The property is secluded and beautiful and was a nice place to relax in the evenings and between activities.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Billy and Berta’s gorgeous cottage. It far exceeds the rental listing photos. Very friendly hosts greeted us on arrival and saw us off upon our departure. This is a very well-appointed accommodation with everything one could need, and more, for a very comfortable stay. Fantastic lanai with epic, expansive view and stunning sunsets. Very private and quiet. Will be returning to stay again without hesitation.

I had an unforgettable stay at this studio cottage. Berta and Billy were exceptionally kind and had thought of everything to make my experience perfect. From the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy living area, every detail was carefully considered. The cottage is surrounded by lush gardens and offers breathtaking views of the ocean. It's a peaceful oasis, perfect for a relaxing getaway. I can't recommend this place enough – it's a true gem on the Big Island. I'll definitely be returning for another stay in paradise.
