vacation rental description

ENJOY this peaceful, beautiful two-story home surrounded by tropical landscape and 180 degree ocean view!! Recently voted 'EXCELLENT' by Trip Advisor and 'RECOMMENDED' by FlipKey, this unique property has 1/3 acre surrounded by tropical and lush gardens. Panoramic ocean views span the horizon as far as your eyes will take you; this property is considered to be in the 'favored zone' due to the perfect elevation, climate and proximity to local parks, 1 hour to Volcano National Park, just 20 minutes to Kealakekua Bay,  10 min to Hookena Beach where the dolphins rest and where you can swim easily with the dolphins.  Honounou National Historic Park is only 15 min. Hiking trails abound, horseback riding (20 minutes away).  Hilo is two hours away--GREAT LOCATION!

Also, the home is only two minutes from the wonderful BLACK PEBBLE BEACH, Kaohe Bay, at the bottom of the street. This beach is secluded, and perfect for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking as well as sunbathing. Every day can be a beach day. The average water visibility is 40 feet and more. It is calm almost every day of the year. We offer FREE kayaks for our bay. For the beachgoers, we are stocked with snorkel gear, boogieboards, umbrella, beach chairs, beach blankets, coolers and more.

The panoramic ocean and coastline views are simply mesmerizing, with the 1000 ft. surrounding lanai where you can rest and enjoy dining with the gas grill barbeque!  Embrace a sense of peace the minute you walk through the tropical gardens leading to this private home. The sun pours in through the stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings with high-reaching windows offering a sense of openness, light and views of the tropical gardens below and ocean abound.

Kona Leilani is a perfect retreat for groups and families. A gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining. The three large bedrooms will wow you with their openness to beauty. Beautifully furnished and filled with unique art, the two bedrooms upstairs will encompass you with quiet elegance.  Three “full” bathrooms (one bathroom is downstairs in the ohana) allows for stress-free mornings.  

The home boasts an additional separate OHANA (family) quarters downstairs complete with full bathroom, kitchenette, queen sofa bed and its own private lanai that has its own entertaining and meditation area. A queen sofa bed and full aerobed are available downstairs in the ohana for additional guests.

You will love the space in the master bedroom which has a comfortable queen size bed with a walk in closet and full bathroom with walk in shower. It even leads to a private lanai, so you awake to a view of tropical flowers from your bedside. Each of the bedroom suites is enhanced with custom furnishings and decor to captivate a mood of relaxation, tranquility and comfort.

Children love this home since there is room to play and explore the gardens and the mini-lava caves right on the property.  As one of our guests has said; 'This is a magical garden and perfect for group settings.'

Sweet island fragrances will surely awaken all your senses, as you explore the 1/3 acre of lush landscape and the plentiful plumerias, papayas, mangoes and tropical flowers right in your yard, and experience the flora and fauna of the Big Island from the privacy of your lanais. The surrounding lanai, with complete ocean views, allows for private seating and resting areas from each bedroom and from the dining and living room areas.  The downstairs lanai has its own ocean view and garden views. 

 The owner, Ron Croci, a professional artist, has added his unique artistic murals to the home giving it a warm tropical feel.  Richly furnished, each room has its own special feel and warmth. 

We want this to be a vacation of a lifetime for you.  Our many guests have enjoyed this beautiful home.  We want to create a memorable, joyful and enjoyable holiday experience so that you will fall in love with our beautiful Kona Coast and the Big Island!

Our Hawaiian Adventure

Brenda (Dallas, TX)
Review submitted: November 26, 2012   Date of arrival: November 1, 2012

We were so fortunate so have found this property on VRBO for our first trip to Hawaii. The beautiful, comfortable home provided amazing views from its perch at the top of the cliff. It was difficult to leave the lanai each morning for our scheduled adventures. We just wanted to sit around and drink Kona coffee and take in the scenery from the lanai. We did save some days to just hang out at the house and relax.
We found the property to be even better than the pictures reflect. The property was emmaculate and well-maintained. The property manager, Larry, was johnny on the spot when we needed anything. This property is a bargain and I would recommend this property to friends and relatives.

Since we were there 16 nights, we had plenty time to explore the whole island. Some highlights are:
snorkeling (We took Fair Wind II snorkeling to Captain Cook, since there is not easy access to get there) We also went on another snorkeling expedition on the Hula Kai boat, which took us further south to locations that are accessible only by boat. We loved both trips.
Also, a beach called Two-Step had the best snorkeling we experienced. It is free and is next to City of Refuge. Its snorkeling was better than Captain Cook and the Hula Kai snorkeling.

For some leisure beach time, we recommend Hapuna Beach, which is north of Kona. It has white sand and waves good for boogie boarding. Take a picnic and enjoy it. Another beach is Beach 69, which is close to Hapuna Beach. Beach 69 has shade trees to sit under and Hapuna does not.

Also, going to the top of Mauna Kea is an adventure. We rented a 4 wheel drive Jeep Wrangler and got a great rate through Alamo. You need a 4 wheel drive to go to top of Mauna Kea. It is very cold at the top.
The National Volcano Park is a good day trip. It is also cold there, but not as cold as Mauna Kea.
Hilo has a nice outdoor market on Wednesdays and has lots of bargains. Captain Cook also has an outdoor market on Sundays.
We bought our food and gas at Costco, which saved us a lot of money. We ate breakfast and dinner mostly at the house.
Michelle was always accessible in answering any questions renters might have. She and Ron make you feel like you are family.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Dear Beverly what a wonderful review! Our future travellers will so appreciate your comprehensive comments. Please come back soon, we just appreciated having you all stay with us! Larry and Emy also thank you for the great review--they are so helpful!
Mahalo,
Michele and Ron

Amazing Views and Wonderful Home!

Review submitted: May 15, 2013   Date of arrival: April 10, 2013

Thank you for the use of your wonderful home--we enjoyed the amazing views, the walk down to Pebble Beach and hiking King's Trail. The fruit stand 2 miles south of the house was wonderful with lots of veggies. Keiko's Roadside Cafe has wonderfully tasty fish and chips. Our family enjoyed our 1st trip to Hawaii--Mahalo! ALOHA!!

Fantastic Home --Wonderful Family Visit!

Review submitted: May 15, 2013   Date of arrival: April 1, 2013

This was our third trip to the Big Island and we brought our daughters and their family. We had a great time in your beautiful home . Mahalo! We hiked, swam, snorkeled and ate! Hookena beach was great and a trip to Hapuna Beach was over the top for boogieboarding. As always, fishing with Makana Lani was a treat(no fish, but we saw whales and dolphins!) Then we went snorkeling with Dolphin Discoveries. It is worth a visit to Volcano National Park and a night view from Jagger Museum. And there is so much more! Again thank you, Ron and Michele, your house was fantastic. Mahalo!
