Our 700 sq. foot 2 story home, Miloli'i Beach Bungalow, is located 33 miles south of Kona in Miloli'i. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you've come to the right place. Our little house in paradise, 550ft from waterfront local snorkeling spot, is perfect for a quiet getaway.

Our home is a 2 bedroom w/ queen size beds in each room, 1.5 bathroom & outdoor shower, full kitchen and living room w/ pullout queen size sofa bed. Tile floors throughout including the lanai. Hang out area under neath with a small bistro table w/ 2 chairs. Brand new construction, just completed in February 2017.

Enjoy lounging on the lanai with a high table and 4 chairs looking out at the waves crash against the shore, beautiful sunsets, watch the whales play and breeching in the bay while you BBQ dinner and star gaze at night.

Less than 5 minutes from the house is the rock which offers some of the best snorkeling and swimming on the Big Island. There is a state beach park about 10 minutes down the road, the speed limit in the neighborhood is on island time, 15mph. A 20min walk to Honomalino Bay is a must when here, it is a secluded black sand beach. Often you find that you'll be the only ones there!!! How excited to have a black sand beach all to yourselves and so close. The hike over is beautiful, through a bit of jungle and across a few lava fields. Miloli'i is also only 60 miles from the Volcano National Park, so on the big island that would be a day trip. And South Point just down the road from there offers up one of the most beautiful green sand beaches in the world, seas that have come from Antarctica, and the most southern bakery in the USA, with wonderful pastries. Up the hill and 10 miles north towards Kona you can find some other wonderful beaches, Hookena, home to a pod of spinner dolphins and the occasional whale, offers snorkeling, kayak rentals, a small food vendor, clean bathrooms, and outdoor fresh water showers. 10 more miles north is The Place of Refuge at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau State Park, also known as Two Step. Amazing snorkeling here and sun bathing. There is a bit of shade and a few picnic tables.

Our neighborhood is strictly residential, the nearest store and gas station are about 20-25mins from the house, in Oceanview, which is south of Miloli'i. It has 2 grocery stores, gas station, gift shop, hardware store, and a few restaurants: Pizza Place, Bar & Grill, L&L BBQ.
Life is always good in Miloli'i!!

We loved our stay in the purple house. It was clean and the beach decorations fit the area to a “T.” It had all amenities we could’ve asked for. We ate out on the deck for breakfast and watched spinner dolphins. We snorkeled at Da’ Rock and saw a big variety of fish. It made us feel like we were away from the real world. We would definitely stay there again!

Great property out of the main Kailua-Kona area where lots of people stay. It was exactly what we were looking for when booking the property. We knew the distance to Kona/Waimea (further), to Volcanoes (closer) and just planned our days out accordingly. Once we got the lay of the area of where best to get groceries, water and dump trash/recycling it was all great. There are great beaches around the house (Honomalino Beach - 20 min easy trail walk from Miloli'i Beach), Miloli'i Beach (short 5 min drive, great snorkeling if you want calmer waters - there's a small bay area with lots of reef fish to see...saw a moray eel, too...unusual for shallow areas) and the Rock public access area just 500ft to the left of the driveway. We had lots of days just relaxing and reading on the deck and swimming closely without driving out. The kitchen has great supplies which you don't always get with a vacay rental - good pots/pans, sharp knives, good appliances- pretty much anything you would need in any home. Ginger and Roger have thought of many amenities one might need or want especially if you're looking to do your own meals. The house is well situated in a quiet residential community. The drive down from the highway is a bit windy and steep. Take it slow in the dark, but during the day it was fine. And once you've driven it a couple times, it's no biggie in our opinion. We would return for another "off the beaten track" sort of holiday. We really enjoyed our stay!

We loved staying at purple house! The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the deck/views also. The owners are very responsive, and kept us up to date when Mauna Loa erupted during our stay. (Which turned out to not be a big deal, but was amazing to see the lava flows!) we loved the property and location and hope to come back to visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Purple House. The homeowners have done a fantastic job with this home, making sure that it has just about everything you need for a stay on the Big Island. The home is newer construction, so there were no issues with anything. The home is located at the bottom of the mountain, near the ocean and has a very exciting road to drive to get to it! You are only an hour from Kona, about 15 minutes from grocery & fuel. We loved it and will definitely return!!!❤️🏝💯

We had an amazing stay at the purple house. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but Ginger the owner is extremely nice and answered right away and was quick to make the situation right. The house itself is great and in a great location. It is quite and away from the hustle and bustle of Kona. They stock the house with anything and everything you can possible need. We enjoyed sitting on the porch at night listening to the waves. Would stay again!

The sunsets from the deck are amazing. Little lizards and birds all around. Well equiped kitchen. We will be coming back to Hawaii soon.

This property was perfect for us and our two daughters since they had such a cute room to stay in downstairs and we had our place upstairs. The place was so well equipped and clean that it made our stay wonderful. Thank you so much for making this such a great vacation! Mahalo Nui Loa

We enjoyed our first snow bird winter in Paradise tremendously. So much in fact, next winter we are staying three months instead of two. The Purple House served our needs excellently. Fully stocked with bed and bath linens as well as kitchen dishwasher and pots/pans. Second bedroom was great for guests. Washer and dryer worked great. The area is remote and requires a drive; however, this was what we enjoyed most. The owners responded promptly to any questions we had. The weather was terrific. We watched whales, dolphins, and boats from the lanai. We hiked to the secluded beach at Honomalino Bay nearly a dozen times. The sunsets were breathtaking. Highly recommend for extended stay. To the Demosses, thank you for sharing your slice of Paradise!

Really enjoyed this place. The site itself is far away from a lot of things to do but would be perfect if you wanted a remote spot to just relax. There's snorkeling close by and and black sand beach near. The view of the ocean from the lanai was fantastic, and the stars at night were beautiful. Ocean View is relatively close and has a store. It was a bit harder getting to the far away spots (like Volcanoes NP, Kona or Hilo), and the road to and from the house was a bit daunting. Initially had problems getting checked in but it was resolved quickly with a phone call. The kitchen has some basic necessities for cooking, blender, coffee maker, but it would be hard to do more than a basic meal. (Probably not a big deal for a lot of people, but I had several to feed in my group.) Overall, I would say that it a nice spot to relax and hang out.

Our family had a wonderful stay in HI. The rental had everything! We had trouble getting in because the website didn’t update the current door code but the owner answer right away. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed this property so much! We were spending time with our son before he leaves for college next week. Your property gave us the perfect place to come back to after a long day of exploring. We really enjoyed cooked dinner and eating out on the deck. We even snuck in a game last f Yatzee!

Roger & Ginger were great to rent from. We had plenty of room for our two week stay. I found the snorkeling spots Roger told me about. So clean & comfortable with a nice kitchen. A great place to relax and whale watch. We plan on coming back soon.

We have never been to Hawaii and wanted to really experience the beauty of this wonderful island. We searched and found various rental properties, but kept coming back to the purple house. This is an extraordinary location. We had a million dollar view on a budget. One that took my breathe away when we woke up the first morning. The house is a bungalow with high end appliances and interior design. I am a runner and the views and terrain were perfect. We were positioned on the island in such a way that we could visit many sites and places. The HOA director was so nice and introduced himself, as well as provided guidance to a night time Manta Ray experience that was truly awesome. This house is bright, perfectly stocked, and vacation ready so that you can snorkel, escape, and see this extraordinary place the right way. The owners will respond within in an hour and will help with anything you need. Do it! Stay here! It will be an experience of a lifetime!

It's obvious from the moment you arrive that a lot of love, thought and care has gone into the build and decoration of this home. Roger and Ginger are great communicators and very responsive. The bed is firm but comfortable and the house is well stocked. I rarely used the fans as you get beautiful breezes. It is in an isolated area but I am travelling alone, stayed for 5 nights and it didn't bother me. The location is unique and while the photos are accurate they can't convey the amazing vibe. Swimming off the rock down the 'road' was fantastic, somehow the water felt so clean and was crystal clear. The set up with plenty of drinking water to hand made it a breeze and as long as you arrive with the provisions you think you'll need you wont have a problem. There's a store where you can top up supplies (I didn't need to visit) and you're close enough to visit a lot of places from here should you choose to. If you're going through Na'alehu visit the ''Flyin Hawaiian' coffee truck but check Yelp first, she's not around every day. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in the purple house again, it was an absolute pleasure, thanks Roger and Ginger!

This beautiful little home is appointed VERY well with everything you would ever need to make your stay here more than comfortable. The views are amazing, sunsets are to die for and the snorkeling at "Da Rock" less than 500 feet from the house is some of the best The Big Island has to offer. About an hour South from the Airport, does mean some driving is in order, but it's well worth it to be away from the hustle and bustle of the busy areas. The owner's Roger and Ginger are some of the nicest and most accommodating people EVER! They ALWAYS are available for responding to messages almost immediately. We WILL be staying here again. Love the home, love the location, love the owners.

We had a great stay. It's a bit off the beaten path and that's exactly what we were looking for. Brand new home with a great view. Dan, the manager, was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Perfectly beautiful. All you need to enjoy your time here. Walk to the beach, enjoy the view of the ocean from the deck. Drive the scenic view to anywhere on the big island. This is the place to be to kick back,snorkel , bbq, go kayaking and have a wonderful fun time. We will be back.
