Description

ENJOY this peaceful, stunning two-story home surrounded by tropical landscape and 180 degree ocean view!! AWARD-WINNING Voted TOP VACATION RENTAL in CAPTAIN COOK 3 years in a row!!-- Recently voted 'EXCELLENT' by Trip Advisor and 'RECOMMENDED' by FlipKey. This unique property has 2/3 acre surrounded by tropical and lush gardens. Brand new kitchen and updated master bath. 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, family sandy beach, where the dolphins rest and where you can swim easily with the dolphins and where there is wonderful snorkeling! Honounou National Historic Park is only 15 min. Hiking trails abound,swimming, snorkeling sites galore. 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. 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 800 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 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.

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 2/3 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 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.
