This is a beautiful and quiet part of Holualoa that is high enough in elevation that it stays very cool in the evening, and doesn’t get too hot during the day. The neighborhood is pretty spread out, and it’s a great location for anyone looking to spend their days exploring the island, and their nights relaxing in a cooler climate. Lacey and Ricky live upstairs with their awesome two kids, and they’re very respectful and quiet in the evenings, making it very easy to relax and unwind after a day at the beach.
Holualoa Village is just down the street and offers cute art galleries and some good local eats, and downtown Kona is only a 10-15 minute drive away. After staying on the Big Island for over 5 months, we fell in love with Holualoa and would absolutely recommend the area to anyone looking to stay near Kona.
We very much enjoyed our month long stay here, and it was awesome getting to know Lacey’s family and all their wonderful animals.
