The above is the link to a video of my house.
Makai Hideaway is quiet and peaceful. Unwind and relax from city life. House is an an hour south of Kona and one hour ten minutes south of the Kona airport. It is one hour ten minutes to volcano from the house. Shop before you come as nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away.Two bedroom with multiple beds, three baths, We are in a lovely location with outstanding ocean views and nearby water sports! Descend a paved road 12 minutes to the house from mile marker 89 and enjoy what I believe are the best views on the island!. A large Lanai runs the length of the house for dolphin and whale watching. Have dinner on a beautiful 600 foot Lanai and watch the incredible sunsets and enjoy coastal breezes. There are many fans in the house but there isn't air conditioning. Go one and half blocks to water access for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving and fishing. Also,it's great to walk around the neighborhood. Bedwise, there is a king bed in the master and one queen beds in the house and one queen sleeper sofa plus a futon.There is a foldout mattress plus an airbed mattress in the toy closet. Also, there is an ocean view from the kitchen and you can sit on the couch and see the ocean. Sunsets are phenomenal and different every night. There is a barbecue on top deck. There's a king bed in the upstairs master! There is a washer and dryer in the gameroom and extra small fridge by the tiki bar. the nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away so many travelers stop at Costco as it is by the Kona airport on the way down. There is a supermarket at mile marker 77 and gas station, too.House is a good hour ten south of airport at mile marker 89. The views of the Pacific ocean are sensational and I never get tried of seeing as I descend from 1200 feet to sea level. Please conserve on water and electricity as Hawaii has the nations top rates. There's a nice ocean breeze often at the house but there isn't AC at the house nor do most homeowners in Hawaii have it. We saw a turtle the size of a volkswagon off one of the cliffs in the area and the snorkeling at the swimming hole is great! The swimming hole is a two minute walk away- go to Kai street and turn right. This is where you put in the kayaks or take them into the village of Milolii. There is internet and Netflix so the TV is great! My favorite thing is reading a book on the chaise lounge on the deck or going down to the swimming hole to swim and snorkel. Downstairs in the outside closet is everything you would ever need- coolers, beach mats, beach toys, snorkeling masks and equipment, life jackets,, chairs. Please rinse off anything outside you borrow and put back in the toy shed. Boogie boards and other toys are in outside toy closet. Please keep orderly..

The Milolii area is famous for deep sea fishing, and you can watch the fishing boats or go out yourself. The beautiful secluded Honomolino Beach is close by-short walk along the coast from Milolii State Park-watch the spinner dolphins, snorkel with the fish in the coral, and maybe see a sea turtle or a rare Hawaiian monk seal.There are fishermen phone numbers in the guest guide on the desk.

From Kona airport go south on Highway 11 towards Kailua and continue on towards the 89 mile marker, turn right on Milolii Road. Go about three miles, turn right on to Ewalu Avenue drive down the road to Waenea Avenue turn left. Drive to third intersection which is Elima Avenue, turn right and go a half block to a tan house left hand side which is 88-1555.


From Hilo airport go on Highway 11 north for about two hours till you come to the sign that reads Milolii. Turn left by the sign drive three miles down the road to Ewalu Avenue, turn right drive down to the stop sign to Waenea Avenue turn left. Drive to the third intersection and turn right on Elima Avenue. Go a half block to a tan house left hand side of the road which is 88-1555. Daniel will have the house open for you and take you on a tour! My tax id numbers are TA-053-302-6816-01 and GE-053-302-6816-01

Beautiful location! Plenty of room

This is a beautiful place. Plenty of room for our family. 3rd bedroom does have a separate entrance but, it was fine for our older kids! Beautiful drive to get there and beautiful views. It is a drive from bigger areas but, we travelled most of the island so it was kinda in the middle. Would definitely stay there again

Wonderful remote property on the island

Once you know that there aren’t many sand beaches on the island this property really shines. There’s a local swimming/fishing hole within easy walk, and then it’s central to exploring the other attractions around Kona and Volcanoes

The property has everything you could hope for. Space, plenty of sleeping arrangements, toys and things you might need for your trip, beautiful views from a gorgeous porch, and one of the most helpful and gracious BnB hosts I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Book this place, you'll love it.

Best Month of our Lives

With a long sabbatical from work, we wanted someplace that would feel like home on the big island and we sure found it here. Enough space for our 4 adults and 3 kids, with games to play at night. We used the supplies to fish and swim and snorkel at the nearby swimming hole almost every day and/or took chairs/coolers/boogie boards to the beach. The house was perfect! And if we needed anything, Cheryl was super responsive. I’m so glad we picked this house and our stay was everything we could have hoped for.

Amazing Stay

Great host, great location. About an hour from Kona, definitely need a car to get around to other areas of the island. But the area is very scenic so the drives were nice. The host was really responsive and left us a bottle of wine and chocolates. Would stay at the house again.

Perfect big house for a group

We loved this place and it’s location. The view is great, a quiet safe neighborhood, good water pressure, clean house. The deck was definitely the most used area for our family, listening and watching the waves with birds singing as the sun rises or sets. it was truly amazing.

Christmas 2025

We made a last minute decision to go to Hawaii for Christmas and got lucky to find this home. Host was super communicative and easy to work with. Lani was great with views and ocean breeze. We wanted beds and rooms for 5 adults so this worked out well. Having 3 full bathrooms was a bonus. Quiet town and lots of driving but that was perfect for our adventures going to volcano, beaches and waterfalls. Great family memories for a lifetime.

A true Hawaiian gem!

This place has so many amenities that made our vacation a delight. We were made to feel very welcome by our gracious host who answered all our questions. The house is delightfully decorated and has plenty of seating inside and outside. We loved the view and being able to see whales, waves and fishing boats from our deck chairs!

Fabulous Sunset Views

This was a beautiful place and has amazing morning and sunset views! We had plenty of room to spread out when we wanted and then come together for morning coffee and evening cocktails on the huge deck. It was so nice to have all the amenities plus really clean. Only wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait til we come again!!

If your family had a cottage in Hawaii, this would be it!

A lovely, homey place to stay away from it all. One hour from Kona, one hour from Volcano National Park. Cheryl has thought of everything you will need for your stay. Daniel was easily accessible for anything we needed during our stay. Lots of space to make yourself at home. Gorgeous ocean views and perfect weather during our stay!
