Our neighborhood strikes a perfect balance, offering a central location to Kona town while maintaining a quiet and suburban atmosphere. Nestled on the edge of a nature reserve, our house provides a rural and private feel.

Our location gives you quick access to the highway, putting you in town within 10 minutes where you will find shopping, restaurants, and activities. You will also find yourself near Ali'i Dr. along the ocean, with famous Magic Sands and Kahaluu Beach Park just a short drive away.

The Koi House is centrally located making it easy to access many destinations in Kona. The best parts of the Big Island are only accessible via car, so we recommend renting one for your visit.
