Looking for a perfect romantic getaway? This is it!
Kabira’s ohana is attached to her beautiful home south of Captain Cook and does have waking ocean views for a fraction of the price you’d pay in Kona.
This location is a bit more local and does have a bit of a drive to Kona or other touristy locations, but if you’re celebrating a honeymoon or looking for some peace and quiet, look no further.
At the bottom of her community is access to a beautiful black rock and pebble beach. Don’t worry, you can totally walk in these. The waves are a gorgeous teal and there are lava rocks and trails to enjoy at sunrise or sunset.
This location has a full kitchen, minus a stove, but does have two hot plates, a refrigerator, and a microwave, which was perfect for us.
We traveled for work this time to the Big Island and wanted to save some money. This location allowed us to cook during meals we wanted to save on and spend only when we wanted.
Kabira is a gracious and kind host and a local artist. She will greet you in person to tell you about the location and if you’re looking for a local guide, she’d be happy to take you to some hidden gems along the beautiful expansive shores.
The apartment/ohana is new and made of beautiful wood. We worked hard to be respectful of quiet hours between 10-8am which were no problem and she did the same. We were able to rest when we were tired and work as well with her high speed internet.
The house is on a rain catchment but it was the best water we’ve ever had as it was quadruped filtered plus out through a UV filter. So it’s truly and purely just water.
If you’re a savvy traveler, be sure to get a Costco membership and pick up groceries before you come. But so be sure to enjoy the local eateries.
We took trips to Punaluu Black Sand Beach and South Point, both just a short hour drive away. Be sure to drop in at Punaluu bakery for lilikoi malasadas! And if you make it down to south point, drop by the local farms for tasty macadamia nuts and coffee plus amazing aloha hospitality.
All in all, if you’re looking to slow down and rest, this is a great place. It’s about a 45 minute drive to Kona and an hour ish to the KOA airport. Roads are windy and slow burn no worries, slow down and enjoy the views!
