Ocean View, Hawaii
Aloha,
In regard to the Covid-19 restrictions, Hawaii Governor David Ige has announced that people traveling to the state now must be in possession of the results of their COVID-19 tests before departing on the last leg of their trips. If they do not have the test results by that time, they will be forced to quarantine for 10 days. Quarantine must be done in a hotel or motel. It is not allowed to quarantine in a vacation rental, such as ours.
Beautiful and unique getaway in Ka'u, Hawaii, with a view of the southernmost tip of the United States at Southpoint, Hawaii. A wonderful place to stop between Kona and Hilo or the volcano, or to stop and stay longer for a relaxing time away from the crowds and noise. You'll feel refreshed and re-energized by the quiet and serenity. The stargazing at night is incredible and the sunsets magnificent. Sunrises, if you enjoy the early morning are also gorgeous.
The bungalow is ideal for 2 people. There is a very comfortable, king size bed.
Hibiscus Bungalow has been created with a unique eclectic style giving it a retro tropical feeling. Beautiful tropical woods have been used extensively in the details. The kitchen has a 7’ long bar made from a 2” thick lychee wood slab with a live edge, the bathroom contains a 7’ long vanity made of avocado wood, all the windowsills are mango or lychee wood and the 10’ wide lanai facing the ocean is faced with mango wood.
The walk in shower is tiled in spa colored penny tiles and glass block walls with a pebble floor. A large jalousie window looks out into the garden.
The bungalow is a special and romantic place where you can be centrally located to explore the Big Island, and at the same time be away from the crowded resorts, congestion and traffic of the busy city areas. Wake up every morning to the sound of the birds in the Ohi'a trees outside the windows. Sit on the lanai sipping your morning coffee or tea, while watching the ocean and sky lighting up with color
Here you'll see the real Hawaii, where the land is new and the landscape is undeniably dramatic. 10 minutes away are the Kula Kai Caverns, where you can go on guided tours. ½ hour drive gets you to Ka Lae, (Southpoint) where the braver people jump off the cliff and drop 50’ into the ocean below, then climb up a rusty old ladder to do it again perhaps. The famous Green Sand Beach is also down at the end of Southpoint Road. The beach is about a 3 mile hike in, or you can pay one of the locals who charge $15 to drive you to it.
20 minutes away from us are the old and beautifully unchanged little towns of Waiohinu (Shiny Water in Hawaiian) and Na’alehu (meaning the volcanic ashes). This is a gorgeous piece of old Hawaii like you will rarely see. This was a favorite hangout for Mark Twain, who wrote about the area in his Letters from Hawaii, when he was a reporter for
Just a half hour drive away, you’ll be at beautiful Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, where you’ll see the sea turtles basking in the sun. We are 1 hour away from Kona and 1 hour the opposite direction is Volcanoes National Park.
We picked this location for the the sky view and it paid off. Fred and Sandy were great hosts. The hot tub was a bonus after a long day of hiking. Best used as a getaway.
This was my second time staying at the bungalow. Otherworldly sunsets and crystal clear starry nights relaxing in the hot tub were the norm for us this time. The place has everything me and my partner needed and the smart natural gardenscaping provides ample privacy. The hosts were friendly and accommodating and everything was as expected from the listing. Also the grocery options are not bad considering the relatively remote location. If you are looking to explore the southern end of Hawaii or just escape I can't think of a better option for this size and price.
The owners of the bungalow lives on site, the bungalow was perfect for 2. We were able to meet Fred the owner and he's a super guy, the owners leave you alone and we never felt like we didn't have complete privacy. We would stay there again.
The location is wonderful, quiet, far away from neighbors but very accessible to the supermarkets in Ocean View. It didn't take long to get used to the calm and serenity. The kitchen was very well stocked, and anything that I needed, Sandy and Fred were very prompt to provide it. The view from the deck is fantastic as the ocean is right in front of you. The hot tub is a very nice amenity which we used every day that we could. Fred keeps it clean and filled.
The hibiscus bungalow had literally everything. Everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We came to the island visiting family so after a long day of laughs and adventures we were able to come back to the hibiscus bungalow and wind down perfectly. To top it off the hot tub under a meteoroid shower was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. They had everything from, band aids, to extra towels, to ice trays, to even maps and binoculars! The sun rises are unexplainable. Best way to summarize our stay was magical.
The owners are awesome! Impeccable property, provided boogie boards, snorkels, etc...helped navigate us to a local isolated beach. Very easy check-in and stay.hated leaving. Hotob was almost a nightly thing! Very clean! Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay at the Hibiscus Bungalow very much. Our hosts were available but never hovering. They had lots of information & shared all the beach chairs/coolers/towels too. This place is quiet on a lava flow with coffee & pizza places nearby….we didn’t eat Thai but there were grocery stores & even the Dragon laundry place with drop off services. We were in the middle of Kona & Volcano and very close to the best black sand beach & a yummy bakery. The description was as promised - the garden was lovely & we enjoyed the hot tub under the stars.
Sandy & Fred’s place was amazing. Clean and beautiful. Great folks and easy to communicate with. Book with confidence ;)
We were a little worried about the location at first because we couldn’t find it on the map but this was a hidden treasure. This bungalow was AMAZING! Don’t think too much about it , just get it. It’s totally worth it. The owners were extremely friendly and had great advice
oceanview cottage was a midpoint between Kona and hilo we enjoyed the scenic routes to both bigger cities for excursions while relaxing at night in our peaceful cottage
