A Haven for Sea Lovers
SWELL
Modern charm meets vintage ease in this dreamy hideaway for those drawn to the ocean’s pull.
Lounge in the Bamboo Wave Bed, curl up on the sofa, or sway in the hammock—always in view of where ocean meets sky.
You seek a place of rest & relaxation. You desire something out of the ordinary that will live on in your memories. That quest has led you here, one of the island's most-desired AirBnB's.
Our goal is to exceed your expectations by providing a modernly styled, impeccably clean and comfortable eco-friendly space that satisfies all your senses.
We clean with UV light, antibacterial products, and care—so your stay is spotless, safe, and serene.


SEE
This private suite features panoramic ocean & sunset views throughout. The color blue ties together the ocean theme, reaching across exterior walls, ocean glass accents and the massive wave mural that is the focal point. Gorgeous modern decor, teak & bamboo chairs and reclaimed furnishings set the stage for beauty and relaxation. Your stunning new bathroom decked out with shiny subway tiles, a window seat and up-cycled tables gives you all the feels.
FEEL
Nested inside your wave bed, you'll be on cloud 9 laying upon your plush pillow top queen bed, high end linens and down filled pillows. Your skin will delight in the balmy breezes and perfect temperatures of the cooler coffee lands.
TASTE
Complimentary tea and coffee are just two of many delights awaiting your palate. Pick fresh papaya or stroll the upper land for ripe avocados, bananas, guavas, lychee and starfruit (when in season - not always available).
HEAR
Just outside your door, the rhythm of the jungle is alive. Songbirds awaken you to each new day, hens cluck and coo, and a chorus of Caribbean coqui frogs sing you to sleep.
SMELL
The aromas of tropical fruits and flowers permeate the air.
Tropical ginger and hibiscus flowers grow in the garden just outside your french doors. And sometimes, when the wind is just right, whiffs of roasting Kona coffee imbue the air.
While we cover all the basics you'd expect- like great wifi, a fully outfitted kitchen with a great cooktop, we also provide the use of bbq, laundry, beach toys, towels, and even complimentary sanitized snorkel equipment. We strive to be conscientious of our collective impact, by using eco-friendly products, and supplying our guests with filtered water, reusable bottles and more. We are grateful and honored to introduce you to our beloved island and to be your hosts and guides in this special place. Long-term discounts offered!

What a beautiful stay! It felt incredibly remote and peaceful—our own
private piece of paradise. Sitting on the porch listening to the birds, watching
the sunset, and taking in the gorgeous surroundings was an absolute
highlight. The space is the perfect size, the bed is so comfortable, and the
property has everything you need. Plus, it's just a short drive to prime sites,
restaurants, and local favorites. Loved it!

This place completely surpassed our expectations. The moment we walked
in, everything felt serene. It is incredibly beautiful, especially the porch
overlooking the ocean and hillside. Super clean, perfectly stocked, and iteven had workout equipment we loved using. We'd stay here again in a
heartbeat!

Properties rarely supersede the listing photos, but this one is even better
than the pictures! The front deck is magnificent and the view is pure
tranquility. The unit is exceptionally well-stocked with everything from games
and beach gear to kitchenware and workout equipment. The high ceilings
are a huge plus, and the location is great with excellent breakfast and coffee
spots nearby. The host's communication was fantastic—highly responsive
with great details provided beforehand. Definitely would stay again.

This place was magical! Incredibly peaceful and quiet, set in beautiful surroundings with a stunning sunset view from the big lanai. The rental was spotless, the kitchen had everything I needed to cook, and the bed was super comfy. It’s a bit south of the
hustle of Kona, but I’d gladly drive a few extra minutes for this level of peace. Great eateries nearby, too! The frogs sing at night, but with the windows closed and the fans on, it’s just lovely white noise—I’m a very light sleeper and had zero issues. I really appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and snorkel gear. Mahalo!
