Wow! Awesome Kailua Ocean View and Convenient Too!

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO OUR PIECE OF PARADISE!

Hale Luana (House to relax and idle away the hours) is located 3 miles above Kailua Kona and overlooks Kailua Bay and Kailua town. Maka Nui Tui ('Tui' as we like to refer to it) is our 3+ acre property ideally located 1100 feet above sea level containing Hale Luana along with the owners main residence. Tui is private, quiet, convenient, and most relaxing. Surrounded by tropical plants, flowers, and fruit. The fruit is yours for the picking when available. You enter through iron gates and drive up the palm tree lined driveway passing the main house to find Hale Luana.

Hale Luana will be a perfect retreat from the daily sightseeing, beaching, shopping, and numerous other activities available on our wonderful island of Hawaii. Tropical breezes maintain a perfect temperature day and night. No need for air conditioning, but ceiling fans are in all rooms if you feel the need.

Now that you've completed your long trip to the islands, you can relax in your most comfortable, Hawaiian decor Hale Luana. Sip on a glass of wine or tropical drink as you watch the sunset from your private lanai. Marvel at the spectacular view of Kailua Bay and as the sun sets, delight in the stars above and twinkling lights of quaint Kailua town below.

Awake in the morning to the sounds of the local birds and rustling tropical leaves. Enjoy your first cup of Kona coffee on your lanai before embarking on the adventures before you. Whether it be sightseeing, beaching, snorkeling, shopping, golfing, or any of the many activities available. Hale Luana is so very convenient to everything to see or do on the big island. Most are within a 10 to 20 minute drive.

We've tried to prepare Hale Luana for you're pleasure and comfort. We are positive, your vacation here will be one of the most memorable you've experienced. Please contact us by email if you have any questions. We look forward to your visit.

Mahalo and Aloha,
Ray and Barb

Beautiful view of downtown, and great accommodations.
For my son‘s 21st birthday he said he wanted to stay away from the downtown crowds. I found this location, he was ecstatic. The place is immaculate outside, and the accommodations were great. The place is minutes from downtown, and an easy drive. There was fresh fruit and a nice welcome basket left for us. There is plenty of kitchen supplies. There are two security gates protecting the place, which the owners have provided a garage door opener for access; easy! We had a small water issue which we cleared up by calling the owners; that took about 3 minutes to fix. It was very nice talking with these people. Here’s the deal- if you want a quiet place with good accommodations and a great view, choose this place.

Spectacular View, Great Location, Wonderful Hosts
Barb and Ray were amazing hosts and thank you for sharing your wonderful property. The location was perfect with easy access to Queen K highway, Mamalahola highway and Kona town. We so enjoyed having our morning coffee on the protected lanai and the cool nights for sleeping. I appreciated the well appointed kitchen and the bowl of fruit and other "goodies". Although my husband and I were traveling by ourselves the house is ideally set up for two couples. We have been traveling to Hawaii for several years and loved staying at the higher elevation. It was one of our best stays on the Island of Hawaii. We would definitely come back.

Beyond our dreams!
This place was absolutely top notch! First of all, the owners were so welcoming & genuine. We felt at home immediately. We arrived to fresh fruit picked from their yard sitting on the counter. The accommodations were perfect for the 4 of us. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. We spent the majority of our time,while we were home, on the lanai. The sound of the birds was beautiful. The garden was heavenly! The sunsets were perfect from the lanai. We loved the location because it was an easy drive to groceries & our favorite beaches. I can’t say enough about this gem. We will definitely be back!

A Truly Great Home and Location Location Location
We really enjoyed our stay at Barb and Ray's. They were great hosts, always available to answer our questions like one evening when the house shook!! (A minor earthquake!) and also gave us lots of privacy. The house is well equipped, has a beautiful view, and is a very convenient location to our favorite beaches and necessary stores. You will love staying here!

Great house and location
We spent a week at Ray and Barb's house in July/August 2022 and had a great time. The house was very clean and in very good condition. It's located on the hills of Kona, about 10 minutes away by car from the city center. The house doesn't have AC, but we found that the temperature was much cooler than in Kona - thanks to the clouds that hover above the rainforest - and we were never too warm. We appreciated the cooler temperature every time we came back home from the beach or the town below. We slept with all windows open. Temperature was pleasant, around 70/75F at night. At night, with open windows, you can sometimes hear a couple of coqui frogs (who sound like a bird more than a frog) and of course birds in the morning. We love the sounds of nature so we actually liked it and slept very well. There are screens on the windows so we didn't have insects inside. The house is in a very quiet gated community so there is zero traffic noise. We took every meal on the lanai, using the small but very efficient gas BBQ. Ray and Barbara were very helpful and gracious hosts, always ready to help when needed. They gave us with mangos from their yard that we loved. If and when we come back to Kona we would absolutely stay here again.

Hawaii Guest house
This guest house is good but I would not say great. The money value is there for sure but there is room for improvement. It is poorly lit on the outside which was dangerous because of the huge amounts of rain. Also, the sofa bed and furniture smell of mildew; pretty badly. I would say the upholstery, rugs need to be cleaned. There was a lot of bugs in house and maybe bed bugs; which is creepy. You are literally on edge of a rain forest and because of this the croaking frog makes a lot of noise, pretty much all night. The other thing which to me takes this out of super host status is that there in no AC. It's humid in Hawaii and the place is upstairs I think AC should be provided. They do have a lot of fans in the house but they take a long time to work and are only so effective. The other thing that I did not like is that the guest house is behind the main house so you are kind of feeling like the front owners can't wait for you to leave. Mind you this won't bother some people but you don't have good privacy and I was never totally comfortable there. The hosts did provide sone fruit and stuff like that which was nice so many people will like that. However, we would not come back here.
