Big Island Paradise

"A Little Peace of Heaven" is an adorable picture-perfect home to experience Aloha! The sweetest place for a Romantic getaway! And just as fabulous for a family, as the second bedroom has a new Nectar queen mattress for friends or family.

Outside you will be able to rinse off while viewing the lovely tropical surroundings. The picnic table in the yard provides another place to relax and enjoy the beautiful tropical vegetation provided by a professional gardener who has provided seasonal tropical fruit for your enjoyment.

A Little Peace of Heaven was professionally decorated so you’ll have beautiful Hawaiian décor, as well as a carefully chosen selections of Hawaiian music and dvd’s. There’s High Speed Wi-Fi, Netflix, a paddle board for FUN at the private black pebble beach at the bottom of the street, and a set of Ping golf clubs for playing at one of the local golf courses.

Sweet Aloha invites you and yours to A Little Peace of Heaven in Kona Paradise!

House is nicely equipped and quite comfortable. The decor is lovely. Proximity to 2-step beach is also very convenient for snorkeling along with many other destinations. Would recommend this piece of Paradise to others.

Little bit of heaven
This was one of the cutest, most comfortable homes we have ever rented. It was thoughtfully stocked with every thing you could possibly need. The Lanai has the most beautiful view. We have been coming to Kona Paradise for about 15 years and this was one of our most enjoyable stays.

Definitely “A Little Peace of Heaven”!
Our stay was magical! The lanai overlooking the beautiful property and ocean view was spectacular. Snorkeling at the neighborhood black sand beach was not very crowded and so peaceful. We were 45 minutes from Kailua-Kona but totally worth the scenic drive. We’ve already recommended this property to friends who asked for booking details!

Gorgeous and Amazing House/Location!
Title really says it all! It was a gorgeous home with absolutely amazing views! We had a great experience working with the property owner and even had great interactions with those we met in the neighborhood. Only recommendation for those coming to stay is if you get a rental car get something that doesn't sit to low as the drive is indeed very steep but worth the views.

Great House and Location
Wonderful house. Very comfortable with a fantastic view. Private beach at bottom of the road (5 minute drive). Neighborhood is friendly. Town is 45 minutes and grocery store is 25 minutes, so do spend some time in the car. But love being here.

Beautiful house and property with amazing views.
My family and I enjoyed mornings and evenings on the lanai. It is such a quiet peaceful home that a true rest and relaxation was possible. We will be back and have already recommended it to friends and family. If you love Kona coffee and want to visit all the farms, this is the ideal home. It is far enough from the tourists of Kona but close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shopping in Kona.

So surreal
The pictures don’t do the house justice! It’s got a killer view and you get used to the kind of scary hill coming down. Not scary after the first day.. it has everything you need and then some! Perfect stamp in our honeymoon ❤️

Beautiful property in a fantastic location.
Lovely property with an incredible sunset view. Great communication and super amenities. Lots of added extras to make your stay even more special. Don’t be put off by the mention of steep hills. Easily negotiated with any vehicle in low gear. I parked by the water tank only 20 yards from the front door. Don’t miss out on this fantastic quiet place.

Enjoyed our week long stay.
Location is a little out of the way but that's what we wanted. We put 1000 miles on the rental car in a week so make sure you get a car with plenty of allowed mileage and good miles per gallon. The property is nice. Really quiet and private. Great view, comfortable beds, and well equipped. Managers were quick to respond to questions and fix an issue with the drier. Would reccomend staying here to friends and family.

Off the beaten path and worth it!
Property was wonderful, comfortable and the views are top-notch! Terri, the host, was a breeze to deal with and very communicative. We were used to the steep hills up and down to the house from years on the USVI, so no problems there. The neighbors are very nice and the area safe and quiet. I would stay here again and again for the sunsets alone. If you book, you will not be disappointed. Mahalo!

We were awed by the experience of this property on the side of the mountain, overlooking the expanse of ocean, set in a beautiful Hawaiian jungle of plants. We are veteran VRBO renters and this house was so comfortable and so beautifully decorated. The snorkeling and diving at Pebble Beach at the bottom of the hill was remarkable. The beach was uncrowded with welcoming locals.

And the house has incredible views just like in the photos. We would stay again in a heartbeat and would HIGHLY recommend to all family and friends who may be travelling to Hawaii.

Beautiful setting with all the perfect little touches! My family and I comfortably stayed here for one week and loved every minute of it! Amazing sunsets and sunrises, lovely sounds from the wildlife and ocean, and it was even enjoyable when it rained! Everything is provided and Terri was phenomenal from Starr to finish on service! 5 out of 5 stars and I hope my family and I come back to visit someday!! Mahalo for a memorable home away from home!

The house was such a relaxing place to stay for our first trip to Hawaii! It had the best view of the ocean below with amazing sunsets every night. We truly enjoyed Pebble Beach and the hiking trails nearby. My daughter and her boyfriend cooked for me a few times with the well-stocked kitchen including spices and kitchen items needed to do so, as well as a gas grill. Enjoyed the local flora and fauna, including the cute geckos! Will definitely return in the near future as my retirement is fast approaching and look forward to traveling more. Thanks Terri for being such an excellent host.

Truly Paradise
Tropical paradise with an ocean view! We love this home, the deck with view of the ocean was amazing. The inside of the house was adorable and comfortable and there were personal touches that made it feel like someone really thought about what guest would need. The driveway is very steep and narrow, but you can always park at the bottom and walk up. The plants and palms surrounding the home are gorgeous. The walk down to the ocean (another very steep hill) was intoxicating with the scent of plumeria. The black pebble beach is really nice for swimming if the surf is small. I miss the chirping of the tree frogs at night!

Awesome View!
The home was very clean. The owner was easy to work with. The view was awesome. We spent most of our time on the lanai. Tons of Geckos and nice landscaping. The home could use air conditioning. There were a few days that were pretty uncomfortable as it was too warm in the house. The driveway is SUPER steep. The home is about 45-50 mins from Kona. It is a bit of drive, but we didn't mind it. If the house had air conditioning, I would definitely stay here again.
