Two families enjoyed the wonderful house! More than enough space for 9 people. Lisa was a great host, answering all our questions and giving recommendations. The property is beautiful and the sunset on the lanai is breathtaking. If we ever come back to Kona, we would definitely stay in the “pink house” again!

We had such a lovely time staying on Lisa’s property for Christmas this year. Lisa had the house decorated for Christmas time and it was like a home away from home! Situated a short walk from the town of Holualoa, the property overlooks Kilua-Kona and the ocean making for some epic sunsets. The home itself is beautiful and has all the character and charm of an older Hawaiian property. Given the amount of bedrooms and extra beds, my family of 8 was very comfortable with the layout and led to a wonderful vacation for all. Highlights were the kitchen area where we were able to make a Christmas dinner, the fresh fruit from the property that Lisa provided for us, the beautiful views sitting on the lanai, and the media room where we could watch our Baltimore Ravens play on Christmas Day. Overall, I would recommend Lisa’s property to anyone looking to have wonderful stay on the Kona-side of Hawaii. One thing to note is that there are chickens on the property so be prepared for an early wake up from the rooster. They didn’t bother us much since we are from EST so the early wake up helped fight jet lag. Also, given that the property is higher in the mountain, the tree frogs are also pretty loud at night. After a while though, it’s almost like a sound machine putting you to bed. Neither of these things bothered my family, but are good to note if you’re sensitive to sound at night.

Really cool place. Fruits off the trees, animals, walks around the property, dinners in the big kitchen with sunset views, kids reading in the book nook, short drive from house in country to town. No problems, great time.

We traveled to Kona for our daughter’s wedding. The property met our needs perfectly and Lisa was a fabulous host. We loved the space where we could wonder and explore.

A rare chance to stay in one of the few remaining truly historic houses on the island, with a fascinating history and life of its own. This is the place for you if you need several bedrooms/bathrooms and LOVE old houses. Not fancy, but funky and unique. A most fascinating collection of artifacts and art, many of them created by the ancestors of the family that have owned this home forever. Host Lisa could not be nicer, more helpful or charming. The perfect elevation keeps the home a very pleasant temperature, the grounds are gorgeous, and of course, the views from the many lanais are fab.

You really have to stay at Lisa’s house to fully appreciate the views, the sounds, the incredible amount of antiques and artwork and the 7 acres of land. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed.
