The property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home, a recently replaced roof, new skylights, and solar panels, adding to its comfort, efficiency, and long-term appeal. A spacious wraparound lanai extends the main home’s living area outdoors, creating the perfect setting for dining, sunset happy hours, whale and dolphin watching, and stargazing beneath Hawaii’s night sky. Inside, an open-concept design showcases high open-beam ceilings, Native ʻŌhiʻa posts, abundant windows and sliding doors, fresh interior paint, new luxury vinyl and tile flooring, and beautiful ocean views filled with natural light. The kitchen features Koa cabinetry, a Dutch-door entry, wet bar, open dining area, and additional ocean views, while the primary ensuite opens directly to the lanai and includes dual sinks and a full bath with shower. Two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower, while a hot tub on the lower deck provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunset. Lush palms and plumerias, lava-rock walls, and concrete walkways complete the tropical setting, while an enclosed catchment tank adds practicality.

Kona Paradise, located between Hōnaunau Bay and Miloliʻi, is a coastal and hillside Honaunau-Napoopoo neighborhood with steep ocean-view streets and a lava-rock landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the narrow switchbacks of Kona Paradise Road, where mailboxes, fruit trees, and wide mauka-to-makai views set the daily rhythm. Homes lean toward practical island architecture—lanai-forward layouts, metal roofs, and terraced lots shaped to the slope. Kealakekua Bay’s clear water and reef edges frame snorkeling and paddling days. Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park anchors the area’s cultural gravity with shoreline trails and kiʻi-lined grounds. Nearby, Manago Hotel Restaurant and Kona Coffee Living History Farm add a distinctly South Kona sense of place.
