The above is the link to a video of my house.
Makai Hideaway is quiet and peaceful. Unwind and relax from city life. House is an an hour south of Kona and one hour ten minutes south of the Kona airport. It is one hour ten minutes to volcano from the house. shop before you come as nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away.Two bedroom with multiple beds, three baths, We are in a lovely location with outstanding ocean views and nearby water sports! Descend a paved road 12 minutes to the house from mile marker 89 and enjoy what I believe are the best views on the island!. A large Lanai runs the length of the house for dolphin and whale watching. Have dinner on a beautiful 600 foot Lanai and watch the incredible sunsets and enjoy coastal breezes. There are many fans in the house but there isn't air conditioning. Go one and half blocks to water access for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving and fishing. Also,it's great to walk around the neighborhood. Bedwise, there is a king bed in the master and one queen beds in the house and one queen sleeper sofa plus a futon.There is a foldout mattress plus an airbed mattress in the toy closet. Also, there is an ocean view from the kitchen and you can sit on the couch and see the ocean. Sunsets are phenomenal and different every night. There is a barbecue on top deck. There's a king bed in the upstairs master! There is a washer and dryer in the gameroom and extra small fridge by the tiki bar. the nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away so many travelers stop at Costco as it is by the Kona airport on the way down. There is a supermarket at mile marker 77 and gas station, too.House is a good hour ten south of airport at mile marker 89. The views of the Pacific ocean are sensational and I never get tried of seeing as I descend from 1200 feet to sea level. Please conserve on water and electricity as Hawaii has the nations top rates. There's a nice ocean breeze often at the house but there isn't AC at the house nor do most homeowners in Hawaii have it. We saw a turtle the size of a volkswagon off one of the cliffs in the area and the snorkeling at the swimming hole is great! The swimming hole is a two minute walk away- go to Kai street and turn right. This is where you put in the kayaks or take them into the village of Milolii. There is internet and Netflix so the TV is great! My favorite thing is reading a book on the chaise lounge on the deck or going down to the swimming hole to swim and snorkel. Downstairs in the outside closet is everything you would ever need- coolers, beach mats, beach toys, snorkeling masks and equipment, life jackets,, chairs. Please rinse off anything you borrow and put back in. Boogie boards and other toys are in outside toy closet. Please keep orderly.. Live action video camera faces catchment tank and driveway.

The Milolii area is famous for deep sea fishing, and you can watch the fishing boats or go out yourself. The beautiful secluded Honomolino Beach is close by-short walk along the coast from Milolii State Park-watch the spinner dolphins, snorkel with the fish in the coral, and maybe see a sea turtle or a rare Hawaiian monk seal.

From Kona airport go south on Highway 11 towards Kailua and continue on towards the 89 mile marker, turn right on Milolii Road. Go about three miles, turn right on to Ewalu Avenue drive down the road to Waenea Avenue turn left. Drive to third intersection which is Elima Avenue, turn right and go a half block to a tan house left hand side which is 88-1555.


From Hilo airport go on Highway 11 north for about two hours till you come to the sign that reads Milolii. Turn left by the sign drive three miles down the road to Ewalu Avenue, turn right drive down to the stop sign to Waenea Avenue turn left. Drive to the third intersection and turn right on Elima Avenue. Go a half block to a tan house left hand side of the road which is 88-1555. Daniel will have the house open for you and take you on a tour! My tax id numbers are TA-053-302-6816-01 and GE-053-302-6816-01

A true Hawaiian gem!
This place has so many amenities that made our vacation a delight. We were made to feel very welcome by our gracious host who answered all our questions. The house is delightfully decorated and has plenty of seating inside and outside. We loved the view and being able to see whales, waves and fishing boats from our deck chairs! This is a great place for a family vacation!!

Gorgeous and Relaxing Spot on the Big Island
We loved this property! It is located outside of the hustle and bustle of Kona and Hilo, but the views and the house itself are worth the drive. Located about halfway between Hilo and Kona, we had easy access to either side of the island and SUPER easy access to our favorite beach: Punulu'u. Our host was wonderful and we had very easy and open communication with her. The house was awesome and fit our family of 5 plus my husband's mom and my parents. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation and will definitely be encouraging our friends and family to stay here as well!!

Family Christmas
The house is beautiful and wonderfully stocked with everything you may need. Cheryl was a great host. However we ended up having to leave early as we could not handle the drive in and out with 99 turns just on the road down and over 300 to go to Kona! Great place if you don’t want to do anything but relax!

Fabulous Sunset Views
This was a beautiful place and has amazing morning and sunset views! We had plenty of room to spread out when we wanted and then come together for morning coffee and evening cocktails on the huge deck. It was so nice to have all the amenities plus really clean. Only wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait til we come again!!

Great house with tons of character!!
Chose this house because of location. Our first time on the big island so wanted to visit both Hilo and Kona side. Location allowed for good options each day as it was less than 2 hours from Hilo, and only an hour away from Hilo . House is great and host is super responsive. You can tell how much this house is cared for. The home is somehow cozy and spacious at the same time. Very charming decor and has a ton of stuff for family nights. Our family has 2 adult children, one teenager, and two 12 year old boys so we packed the house, but everybody was easily accomodated, slept well and enjoyed all the "extras". Downstairs has a great game room style feel, with video games, darts, ping pong and pool as options. Fun time for sure. The house is in a quite area and bbq'ing on the deck in the evening, watching the sunset is the thing of dreams. Easily accommodated our 7 member family with room to spare. Definitely on our list to rebook when we return to the big island!!!

Ocean sounds
We used the house as a home base to explore the island on many excursions. The highlight was watching/hearing the ocean and waves from the deck while eating breakfast each day, then soaking up the ocean sounds at night under the stars. Very comfortable accommodations with superb house host who is informative and friendly with a love for Hawaii.

If your family had a cottage in Hawaii, this would be it!
A lovely, homey place to stay away from it all. One hour from Kona, one hour from Volcano National Park. Cheryl has thought of everything you will need for your stay. Daniel was easily accessible for anything we needed during our stay. Lots of space to make yourself at home. Gorgeous ocean views and perfect weather during our stay!

The description of property was spot on! It is exactly an hour and half south of Kona and is in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is well equipped for staying staying there. We found the nearby swimming hole and ventured in for a quick swim. There is plenty of beach equipment and we used the snorkels.

Lovely Get Away
There were 4 of us. My husband and 2 of our 20 somethings. Everyone had plenty of space to themselves for work, fun and relaxation. The house was very accommodating. The deck is everything! For gathering, for eating and for viewing the ocean. The drive in and out of the neighborhood is something to be aware of, and driving was a big part of getting to see the island and all it has to offer. Everyone forgave the driving since it was so nice to be back at the house!

Great Home away from Home
Loved our stay. The house was very well equipped, it really had everything, from leftover spices, lots of kitchen utensils, beach gear and toys for all sizes. It was such a cozy and comfortable home to stay in. We felt welcomed with all the attention from Cheryl and Daniel. Daniel was so helpful and friendly, he gave us the 411 on the island. I’d love to come back and stay here again soon. Mahalo!!!

If you are looking to get away from the it all this remote home is the perfect getaway. The home is surrounded by lava fields and the access road is steep and very curvy. Beach and kayak access is a drive and hike away. Home is spotless and as beautiful as the pictures
