Welcome to Big Island Retreat
Old Hawai‘i Charm on the Kona Coast
An oasis nestled in a local Hawaiian neighborhood, steps from snorkeling, swimming, sunning, and surfing at Kahalu'u Beach Park, Big Island Retreat is a wonderful place to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. See, hear the call of the ocean and feel the Pacific trade winds.
Close by are many boat excursions, restaurants, and shopping as well as surf lessons, surf and paddleboard rental, golf, pickleball, bike rental station, and the free Trolly.
A quiet, cozy 11 room vacation home with open-air style living that is authentic and unique. We bring the outdoors in, inviting you to breathe, live simply, create your own experience, and live with ALOHA. Sample a banana, starfruit or lilikoi right off one of our trees.
