Kona Dreams is a private retreat in South Kona, 35 miles south of Kona Airport. For same-day bookings, please contact us directly to check availability.
The Drive:
A scenic drive on the highway along the dramatic coastline takes you past Kailua-Kona, to history-rich Keauhou, Kealakekua, Captain Cook, and Honaunau, through the Big Island’s fertile agricultural region, where coffee grows alongside macadamia, cacao, vanilla beans, avocado, and an endless feast of tree-ripened fruit.
The Home:
Enter the home and you will notice it was designed to capture every breeze. The spacious living area is equipped with a flat screen TV, media player, WiFi, games, guidebooks, and leisure reading. Comfortable furniture invites you to relax under the cathedral ceiling supported by solid ohia logs.
The airy primary bedroom features a king size bed made of local ohia wood and has a separate walk-in closet, primary bath, and a private lanai. The guest bedroom has a queen bed, separate full bath and a lanai of its own. The large kitchen is equipped with everything to make enjoyable meals from scratch.
The Location:
The steep hillside is caressed by ocean breezes and incredible views of old lava flows and crystal waters. A swim in the ocean is just 150 yards away. Look for turtles or even a monk seal resting on the beautiful black lava pebble beach. Enjoy sitting on the shaded lanai while you watch the tropical sunset or look for breaching whales.
Kaohe Bay is well known for scenic snorkeling – you will find snorkel gear, water toys, beach furniture, umbrella and cooler to enjoy during your visit.
Ho’okena Beach Park and Milolii Beach Park are nearby. Grab a quick bite or a freshly brewed cup of 100% Kona coffee at Menehune Coffee. Don’t miss Pu’uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge) and allow a day to visit Volcanoes National Park.
Kona Paradise is a quiet neighborhood, 45 minutes south of Kailua Kona. For this reason, we believe a rental car is necessary to best experience all that the island has to offer.
We provide complimentary starter essentials including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, and trash bags.
Receive peace-of-mind knowing that if something does go wrong, one of our friendly and professional staff members is only a phone call away. With a warm “Aloha”, we at First Island Realty look forward to welcoming you to your tropical getaway!

    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.

    This is our 2nd time staying in the Kona Paradise neighborhood, and this first time staying at this house. Great location, very clean. Would definitely stay here again. The only thing I could add, would be having a small amount of coffee and condiments available.

    It was a rather remote location. The house was clean. It would have been nice to have more fans. It was hot. The kitchen was fairly well equiped. The view was great. Having beach chairs, cooler, and beach umbrella was great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beats a hotel hands down! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and very functional. It's a short walk to pebble beach, there are lots of great amenities and it truly made our vacation special. The ocean breezes, lots of screened doors and very large porch were such a hit with the family.

    Second time at this location…what we like in a VRBO. It is spacious, clean and well located for daily adventures around island. The sound of the ocean waves is ever present. Well equipped but affords space for your personal items. I love the kitchen, we love to cook❤️.

    The property is at the back of a small neighborhood. The road in and out is steep, but not stressfull due to low traffic and plenty of width. The beach is smooth pebbles. It looks awesome. Sunsets are beautiful. Water is great for snorkeling. The kitchen is well stocked. The veranda is a great spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing and traveling.

    The property is great and location beautiful. Clarification that the pebble beach really means a Big Island, rocky-type beach, not always safe for swimming would be helpful. While the open screened nature of the property is amenable to breezes, there are times where the humidity and lack of wind combine to make it uncomfortably hot in the house. Some airconditioning for those times would be appreciated. The amenities like the grill, snorkeling equipment, kayak, etc. are all great and in good condition. Really made our stay more enjoyable.
