From our covered lanai you have expansive views of the ocean, the sprawling Kohala ranchland and Haleakala on neighboring Maui. There really is no better way to start your day!
And what you do with the rest of your day is completely up to you:
Feeling a bit lazy? Relax and sunbathe and dip in our solar-heated saline pool when it's time to cool off. Our place is quiet and secluded, but some visitor may still pop by - wild turkeys or tropical birds.
If you are feeling adventurous go explore the huge variety of activities Big Island has to offer.
At the end of the day fire up the gas BBQ grill on the lanai, mix yourself a tropical drink and settle down to enjoy the spectacular sunsets.
Our Kohala house is full of rustic charm with exposed beams throughout.
The Master suite has a King bed and an en suite bathroom complete with a jetted tub and a separate shower. It has ocean and mountain views and opens onto the lanai.
The second bedroom, which has a Queen bed, is separated from the main living space by rustic sliding doors, and it also opens into the garden, the pool and a stunning ocean view.
The third bedroom has two twin beds and the fourth has a set of bunk beds. .
The shower in the second bathroom conveniently opens to the pool.
Our spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffeemaker to kitchenaid. The refrigerator has an in-built icemaker and water dispenser.
The house also has a breakfast nook and a dining room for those rare occasions when it might be too cold to enjoy the outside.
All the bedrooms have ample storage space, but the washer and dryer in the garage also give you the option on packing light.

This property is located in a gated community in North Kohala. The ~1600ft elevation provides very nice views of the Pacific Ocean looking west, The temperature is also cooler at this altitude compared to the coast. We found the house to be very well equipped from kitchen and BBQ tools to board games and snorkeling gear. Umbrellas, beach chairs, and water shoes for several kid and adult sizes were provided as well. The house is in a large gated plot with beautiful mature trees and is quite secluded from the neighbors. It is designed in two separate wings. One wing has the master bedroom and bathroom along with a small room with a bunkbed for 2. The other wing has the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom in this wing is accessible from the outside. The two wings are separated by an outside hallway leading to the garage where all the water toys and laundry facilities are located. Our young kids enjoyed playing in the saltwater pool after a long day at the beach or hiking. The property owner and the property manager (who lives in the same community) are very helpful and responsive if you need something or have a question.
We found the location to be amenable to trips to the popular beaches in the North Kohala area (15-20 mins) in addition to quaint villages like Hawi (20 mins) in the north or Waimea (30 mins) to the east. There are some restaurants and a great fish market at Kawaihe harbor. There is also a food truck next to the fish market that makes excellent fish tacos. For groceries, your best bets are the Foodland Farms markets at Waimea or Mauna Lani (each about 30 minutes away). We tended to go to Mauna Lani as that is a 10-15 minute drive from the North Kohala beaches so we would stop by there on the way back from the beach. Larger stores like Target and Walmart can be found in Hilo (1.5 hr drive) or Kona (1hr drive). Kona also has a Costco if you are a member.
We spent more than two peaceful and quiet weeks at this house and our kids were sad to leave at the end. We had a great time with this house as our base for our Northern Big Island adventures.

A terrific place - a comfortable, restorative base for our explorations of the Big Island complete with all the necessities plus breezes, most of time, striking sunsets, majestic views, singing birds, tranquility. The spacing of the houses in Kohala Ranch provides for a sense of solitude, and the elevation of the house generally a few degrees cooler than the shore - and definitely more comfortable than back home! We can’t wait to return.

Our four generations aged 4 months to 90 years spent a week here. It was absolutely wonderful. There was something special for everyone right on site. Everything was convenient and comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality tools in the kitchen, the beach gear in the garage, the hand weights to keep us fit, the beautiful patio and barbecue, the comfortable beds and linens, the toys for the kids, the varied TV options, and the very excellent and reliable wifi. Thank you!

This is a very nice place and very well maintained. The owners keep it as a home than a rental place. It is in part of the ranch where we get best of the weathers. We (+kids) had a wonderful time, fireplace is a nice touch for winters. Kitchen is well stocked and the garage is full of pool / beach toys. Garden is full of fresh herbs. Again thank you Joe (owner) and Bob (property manager who also lives closeby), any issues get resolved asap. Look forward to being back.
