This is your opportunity to enjoy a relaxing get away with solitude, breathtaking views, and a location which allows access to all the island has to offer.
"The Jewel" received its unique name from its first vacation renter because of all the beautiful mosaic work on the walls and floors. The walls have colonies of different Hawaiian fish swimming by, a breaching whale, and Hawaiian shells that are stunningly beautiful. Electricity comes from the solar collectors and this all solar home features no TV, no phone, and a smoke-free environment to truly rejuvenate oneself. Water is collected from the roof and heated by the sun. You may even choose to cook using the direct sunlight captured with a solar sun oven.
Located near the last remaining Hawaiian fishing village of Milolii, you will be 45 minutes south of Kailua-Kona off Highway #11. With 180 degree views of the Ocean, you are a short walk to some of the best snorkeling on the island. This one bedroom, one bath home also has a full size convertible bed in the main room to accommodate more visitors. You may also rent "Cottage With A View" right next door if you have even a larger group. The lanai expands your living area and allows breathtaking views of the water and night sky, away from the noise and lights of traditional tourists.
Five miles down the hill from the highway, "The Jewel" is located between Kona and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Trips to Kona or Hilo for sightseeing and shopping are easily done in a day. With the South Kona Green Market selling "From the land...by our hand" local produce in Captain Cook each Sunday and Heidi’s near the turn off at the top of the hill selling local goods three days a week, you can find many treats of the Island without the need to venture too far. Many people have enjoyed a hike, fishing, sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling, diving, boating, sailing, shelling, star gazing, or simply resetting and refreshing themselves by reading, writing, or doing their favorite art and craft project.
