Stunning, Romantic Cottage on Slope of Hualalai

On the Kona side, safe and away from the volcanic activity, the Cottage awaits you.

The perfect, peaceful getaway for those on a honeymoon or looking for a relaxing, romantic experience. This warm, welcoming, newly-built and finely crafted studio cottage provides modern comfort while retaining the spirit of old Hawaii. This mountain paradise is surrounded by native trees and a tropical garden. The Cottage at Ohia Place is situated in North Kona, at a cool 1600' elevation on Mount Hualala'i in Kaloko Mauka.

The cottage is in close proximity to Kailua Kona village, shopping, restaurants, beaches, activities, the harbor, hiking trails and upcountry golf courses. The airport is 15 minutes away. Your host, Gale, lives on the 1.5 acres shared with the Cottage.

The accommodation features open beam wood ceilings, ohia hardwood floors, mahogany and granite kitchen, brand-new queen -sized bed (with a Memory Foam topper), large slate shower, fully equipped kitchen and a lovely lanai that enhances the inside/outside lifestyle of Hawaii.

The cottage is 720 sq feet under roof, including the lanai.

Your host will provide you with details about the many island activities, tours, sight-seeing, beaches and cultural experiences as well as shopping and restaurants, all within an easy driving distance from your home.

Born and raised in Kona, the host's father was one of the founders of the sports fishing business in Kona in the early 50s; she and her family remain closely involved with the fishing community. She has spent her professional life welcoming guests and connecting them to the rich traditions of the islands. We love the island of Hawaii: the vastness, the colorful and unique local customs, the sunshine and sunsets of the Kona Coast, and the hunting and fishing traditions of the Big Island.

A vintage picnic basket is available for your pleasure. If you're headed out to explore the island. You are welcome to use a cold bag for shopping, cooler, beach chairs and towels.

This is a place you will call home... will want to remember... and will return to.

Better than a 5 star hotel
There are not enough adjectives to describe how awesome this property is and how wonderful Gale is. We absolutely loved our stay at Gale”s gorgeous cottage. When we arrived Gale met us and gave us the tour and there was delicious banana bread! The cottage is just gorgeous and every amenity has been thoughtfully provided. We spent two weeks there and it flew by. We would love to come and stay again. Gale is an absolutely wonderful host.

Wonderful, peaceful cottage.
We had a wonderful, restful and peaceful stay at this beautiful cottage.. Gale is a wonderful host who works hard to pay attention to every detail. Her Place was incredibly clean and lovingly stocked with extra touches like a yoga mat, a spice rack, condiments in the fridge amd an air printer. Her grounds are extraordinary. We hope to visit her again.

Absolutely perfect
The property was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. Gale was very helpful during check in and throughout our stay. She was very open to giving suggestions and answering our questions promptly. We did a lot of adventuring during the days but this place is definitely somewhere that you could just hang out all day and relax if you wanted. We are very happy that we chose to stay at Gale’s property.

Gale is a wonderful host who clearly enjoys hospitality and sharing her area. The cottage is extremely thoughtful and well maintained. Breakfast on the front porch (with Gale's banana bread) was the highlight of our trip. If this cottage is available, book it ASAP!

Amazing lanai and well appointed cottage
Loved our stay at Gale’s. Super private and amazing views. This is our favorite area to stay on the island because it’s convenient to everything but also tucked away and completely private. Enjoyed all our breakfasts on the lanai and a few dinners watching the sunset. The cottage is so well appointed and luxurious feeling this will definitely feel like a vacation away from home. Stocked with everything you need and all the details (just note there is no dishwasher or oven - no problem for us) and the WiFi is a tad on the slow side (again no problem for us since we didn’t have to do any work) 100% would recommend and will come back if we have the chance to!

A Week In Paradise
Our stay at this AMAZING guest house was our best VRBO experience ever! When we arrived at the property, Gale, our host, met us and showed us around the property. More than that, Gale offered her vast knowledge of the Big Island like a personal concierge. She took the time to find out what we wanted to do during our one week stay and gave us excellent suggestions for restaurants, sights to see and things to do. The guesthouse is private, nicely appointed and VERY comfortable. The house has outstanding amenities and the area where it is located is absolutely lovely. If the house is available, book it. You won’t regret it!
