About this property

Entire place

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.

The living/dining room overlooks the expansive lanai with gorgeous ocean views. You'll be able to relax on the lanai in the comfy chaise lounges or dine al fresco on the teak dining set, from either position you will enjoy one of the most beautiful sunset views on the island!

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!

beautiful views close to snorkeling and peace garden. Best snorkeling in Hawaii at Honaunau (2-step)

We have been to the Big Island several times and this has been one our favorite because of the spectacular view and altitude. We would definitely stay here again.

The property has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The steep road and driveway required 4wd but the view was worth it.

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.

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.

Beautiful view and decorations! Great communication and was nice to have the extra directions to get to the house. The driveway is an adventure, my family loved it!

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!

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.

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.

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.

This property is beautiful. The pictures don't even come close. Home is equipped with everything you will need and more. Can't wait to return and bring some friends.

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.

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.

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 ❤️

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.

Amazing!! The house was everything you could imagine and more. The host, Terri, made sure you had everything you needed to be comfortable. She responded to all questions promptly and was so friendly! 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.

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!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The home had everything we needed to kick back and relax. The view from the huge lanai was stunning. The setting was peaceful and quiet. There is lots to see and do in the Captain Cook area south of Kona. We felt well situated to explore Volcano National Park as well. The entrance to the subdivision is easy to find from the main road and as the listing points out, the access to the home involves some steep hills but all very manageable. The black sand Pebbles Beach at the base of the subdivision is fantastic although the day we visited, the sea was rough and not good for swimming. Local property manager was prompt in getting back to us to address questions. All told, a fantastic rental and we'd definitely consider staying here again.

This home has a stunning view from the lanai. The 2 bedrooms are roomy and have comfortable, supportive mattresses. We thoroughly enjoyed Pebble Beach at the bottom of the subdivision. The home is on a catchment system but the owners provided bottled water for drinking which was a very nice extra. The house was decorated and coordinated with furniture and the all the trappings. As such, all the pillows, drapes, etc were all slightly musty even when we opened the house and ran the fans. The large screen TV provided fun movie watching in the evenings. The kitchen was very well equipped although the items were unorganized, mixed around and needed to be searched out.

The property is exactly as portrayed - but photos do not do justice to the view from the lanai! We loved everything about our stay. Everything was seamless, start to finish. Terri was wonderful to work with. The home is perfect. We loved the furnishings, comfortable bed, very well stocked kitchen. The outdoor shower is wonderful and private. We spent most of our time on the lanai, including most of our meals. The tiki lights help tremendously with mosquitos in the evening. And the view! I could look at that forever, so beautiful and peaceful. Spectacular sunsets. Definitely a perfect spot to rest and recharge. And we enjoyed watching the geckos! Yes, the neighbours on one side feel close, but it was never an issue and we felt it was very private. Would definitely recommend and would love to return!
