The space
A large, renovated studio ohana on the tranquil Kohala Coast with exquisite Ocean and Mountain views. Kohala Loke Lani means "Cherished Land of the Heavenly Rose" and it aptly describes the property. Look for more photos online by putting Kohala Loke Lani into a search.

After returning from a day of exploring the island you can enjoy a dip in the salt water pool or just revel in the view of the ocean over the water. The sunsets are exquisite from the pool deck! The pool is shared with the owner's unit, so it will never be crowded. The pool hours are from 8 am to 7 pm - later upon request.

The unit comfortably sleeps two people in the queen size bed. There is a full bathroom with shower. This ohana has a large private screened lanai with a BBQ and outside dining. There are big expansive ocean and mountain views of Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Mauna Kea is also visible from the property. There is another, separate lanai that is perfect for nightly stargazing.

If you get tired of going to the beautiful nearby beaches, swimming in the crystal clear ocean, snorkeling, hiking, zip-lining, or exploring the island, the ohana has wireless internet, Peacock TV, Hulu, Roku and a Netflix account. There is also a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music.

While the space is most comfortable, and priced, for two people, there is a beautiful pull-out sofa bed if you'd like to have your child travel with you. We also have a Pack n Play for very young children.

Guest access
This is a separate building on our property, but is directly next door to the main building. You'll have access to the ohana building, pool, and attached lanais.

Other things to note
All people are welcome at Kohala Loke Lani. All 'diversities' are welcome and encouraged.

We have one African Grey parrot, six dwarf goats, two dogs, and nineteen chickens. There is also a donkey that comes to visit us several days a week. There can be some animal noises on the property sporadically throughout the day. I will stress that the ohana is pet free.

The Big Island is in the tropics. Bugs and geckos are part of the package with living and visiting here. We have the property sprayed quarterly, but critters are still around.

Kohala Loke Lani is committed to making a difference for the planet and the ocean. We converted to laundry sheets in lieu of large plastic laundry detergent bottles. We are in the process of converting to biodegradable trash bags and eco-friendly sponges. We have converted to bamboo toilet paper. We have a compost bin on site for guests to dispose of their green waste. We have always used scentless and eco-friendly cleaning products as much as possible. We can all make a difference to the Earth in whatever way we can.

Neighborhood highlights

The ohana is located on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. This is a lovely quiet place to visit. All of the houses here sit on lots of a minimum of 1.3 acres.

This region is considered to be desert. We average only 10 inches of rain per year. During our "rainy" season (August-November) our brown grass turns green. Most of the time, it is a dry, desert climate.

I spend too much time: Diving.
Speaks English and French
Outgoing, fun loving, adventurous, friendly, animal loving artist who loves living in Hawaii. I really enjoy having the opportunity to share the paradise of the Big Island with others. The Big Island is alive and vibrant like very few places on earth. It is a spectacular place to live. Before coming to Hawaii I used to travel the globe - Europe, the USA, SE Asia, New Zealand and Australia, but find that I don't like to leave my island quite as often anymore. I was an avid budget traveler who never found a youth hostel or tent I didn't like. Hawaii is a great jumping off point to Asia, so I see Japan in my future. I recently made it to Korea! As a host I'll see you to say hello and welcome you to the ohana. If you need anything I'm in the next building. I want your stay to be a pleasant one and your experience on the island to be filled with aloha.
