Ocean

Our island escape is tranquil and private, tucked away along the sunny Kohala Coast. You don’t have to leave our oceanfront property to find aquatic adventure. You can snorkel in our private bay, swim in calm waters alongside schools of colorful fish or lounge by the pool while humpbacks breach offshore. But if you do choose to leave, we’re within easy reach of all of Hawai‘i Island’s coastal wonders.
