Kona - Slice of Paradise Enjoy the natural beauty of the Big Island We have been impressed by the beauty of Hawaii's people and landscape and fell in love with the Big Island.

While much less populated compared to Oahu, the Big Island offers a lot of activities and sceneries. For these reasons, we have decided share our joy of the Big Island with visitors by offering them short, mid and long term rentals for a vacation, to transition to the island or to live there. Please reach out to us for specific questions on availability, pricing or just to get an idea of what you could be doing in Hawaii.

Have you ever wondered why Hawaiสปi Island is called the ๐๐ข๐  ๐ˆ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐? It's not just because of its size!

The Big Island is home to ๐Ÿ– ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐'๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐œ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ณ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ. A remarkable diversity can be found on a single island. In just one day, you can travel from tropical rainforests to dry lava deserts, lush valleys, misty cloud forests, sunny beaches, and even alpine landscapes where snow occasionally blankets the summit of Mauna Kea.

This incredible range of climates creates a paradise for nature lovers. Different plants and animals thrive in each climate zone, so every drive offers something new: from towering tropical trees and colorful flowers to unique native birds, sea turtles basking on the shore, and even wild goats on the volcanic slopes.

The weather is just as diverse. If it's raining on one side of the island, there's a good chance you'll find sunshine just a short drive away. Looking for cooler mountain air, a warm beach day, or the perfect snorkeling conditions? The Big Island often lets you choose the weather that suits your plans.

The island is also constantly changing. Active volcanoes continue to create new land, while powerful waves reshape the coastline. A perfect example is Magic Sands Beach, where the beautiful white sand can disappear after large winter surf and then gradually return months later, a reminder that nature is always at work here.

Perhaps the most amazing contrast is the elevation. Within about 40 miles (65 km), you can go from sea level to nearly 14,000 feet (4,207 m) on Mauna Kea. That dramatic change in altitude creates everything from warm tropical beaches to freezing alpine conditions and, on the right winter day, even snow.

Every visit to the Big Island is different. The landscapes, the weather, the wildlife, and even the coastline are constantly evolving, making every journey an adventure.

While there are many places to see Manta Rays on the Big Island in Hawai'i, you can see them every night at the Mauna Kea resort.
After sunset the resort lights up the sea and attracts the rays close to the shore. They can be seen from a viewing platform without getting wet.

Enjoyed the sunshine at the Billilla Mansion yesterday. After having driven by there many times I was curious about this place. Interesting story and nicely kept building in the Brighton area.

The Billilla Mansion was built in 1876 by Robert Wright and changed ownership many times over the following ten years. In 1888 the property was eventually pu...

Despite the subdued economy, Hawaii continues to be a popular destination for Australians. The relatively short flight time of about 10 hours from the Australian East Coast to Hawaii, its climate, and the friendliness of its people are definite attractions. While 10 hours may seem like a long flight, it is important to recognize the relative isolation of Australia. For example, a flight to Singapore takes about 8 hours from Australia's East Coast. Having on average 27 direct flights per week from the three major cities on Australia's East Coast (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) is a definite plus.
Aussies are known for their keen interest in travel and are used to spending good money on this passion. In this light, it comes as no surprise that Qantas, Australia's National Airline, has decided to replace their discount airline flights from Melbourne to Honolulu with a regular service starting in May 2025. At the same time, Qantas will start offering 3 flights per week on this route to capitalize on the interest in traveling to the USA.
While the overall number of Australians probably pales in comparison to visitors from other places, any increase in visitors to Hawaii is a good thing at this time. Year-over-year statistics (see below) not only show a reduction in visitors but also indicate that they spend less money despite the inflationary increase in costs.

It is canoe racing time - want to come and see?



The outrigger canoe, or wa'a, has been an integral part of Hawaiian culture for centuries. These canoes were originally used for fishing, transportation, and exploration, and were expertly crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques.
