Perched above the Pacific in the desirable Kona Paradise community, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath South Kona retreat offers beautiful ocean views, year-round sunsets, and a secluded end-of-road setting surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Positioned at the end of the cul-de-sac along the southern ridge and forest, the property enjoys an especially peaceful and private setting. With 1,335 square feet of living space, the home is thoughtfully positioned to capture cooling breezes and expansive coastline views. The open living and kitchen areas create a comfortable gathering space, while the lanai provides a front-row seat to colorful Kona sunsets and seasonal humpback whales offshore. One bedroom also features its own private lanai. Previously used as a hosted short-term vacation rental, the property offers a flexible layout with a private host area and a history of welcoming guests to South Kona. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, island getaway, or investment property, the home offers a variety of possibilities. Buyers should independently verify current County, zoning, and other requirements applicable to any intended rental use. Kona Paradise is known for its peaceful setting, tropical landscape, and authentic Big Island lifestyle. Pebble Beach, located at the bottom of the subdivision, is a local favorite for snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying the coastline. Nearby, explore historic Kealakekua Bay, South Kona coffee farms, farmers markets, and locally owned restaurants. Captain Cook provides convenient access to everyday necessities, while Kailua-Kona and Kona International Airport are approximately 25 minutes away. Come experience the ocean views, tropical seclusion, and end-of-road privacy that make this Kona Paradise retreat a special place to call home.
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.
