Ono Oasis

Spacious house, with lots of room for everyone. Everything you need for your stay is there. From laundry, to cooking or beach things. The place was clean and comfortable, and the indoor garden was great, but finding every light switch was a bit of a scavenger hunt. It’s a bit far from the beach but the view on the sunset is absolutely gorgeous. The neighborhood is very quiet, if not for the birds and frogs in the pond being quite loud at night, which some will find relaxing. Overall we had a very nice time here.

Wonderful location not to mention a beautiful home. It was well-supplied with everything we needed in the kitchen, laundry and not to mention towels for the beach and pool. We enjoyed using the pool, eating star fruit from the trees on the property and sitting on the lanai in the morning while drinking Kona coffee. We explored several beaches, farmers markets, coffee tours, lava tubes, Volcano National Park, snorkeling with manta rays, boogie boarding and playing frisbee on the beach.

 

Great venue and location. This home has everything you need and more. We will definitely stay here again

I agree with all of the positive reviews below. A wonderful place to stay - perfect for our 2-week island getaway with 3 teenagers!

 

The owners of this home have created a welcoming oasis in a residential neighborhood removed from the busy areas of town. It is by no means quiet, though - the birds and insects make quite a racket throughout the night. It could be a challenging environment for light sleepers … and while we loved sharing the interior with geckos, others may not. You do have to drive everywhere - nothing is walkable. But it’s lovely staying home! The house and lanai are airy and incredibly spacious, with very comfortable furnishings. There is a great deal of separation between the three bedrooms, each with its own full bath. The beds were ok - too soft for our tastes. The kitchen is well appointed; our only disappointment was having no ice, as the ice-maker was clogged & the property manager did not respond to a request to fix it. The pool is wonderful, as long as you have two bathing suits - one for the pool and one for the beach, as the waters can’t mix without an algae bloom. There was one day where the water was too low and it made a flushing sound every 5-10 minutes. The property manager didn’t respond to a call about that, either, but the pool company did, thank goodness! The price was comparable to a much less appealing condo in Princeville on Kauai, where we spent the previous 5 nights, so it felt like a good value. I would stay here again for an all-adult vacation if I were ever to go back to Kona.

 

 

Everything was great here. A little ways from a beach but Our family made forever memories and was a great place for everyone to be together.. very spacious and loved all the amenities!, We will definitely use Elite again. Thank You

There were three of us: mother, daughter, & grandmother ( who grew up on big island). Wanted daughter to experience Hawaii as grandma sort of did. We choose Ono house. Perfect for us. No AC and an open house. New little frogs are loud!!!! REALLY! We had the luxury of super appliances, salt water pool, outdoor kitchen, koi pond, (and more), with the open trade winds and fans. If you want to feel Hawaii like most Hawaiians do, Ono house is it! Great front lanai and great spaces.

Great location and great backyard. The noises of the rainforest were enchanting.

Great and spacious house! The lack of air conditioning was not a problem as the house is naturally ventilated which made it very pleasant, temperature wise. We enjoyed the pool and the outside areas! Having breakfast and dinner in the open was great. Weather wise this area seems to be prone to a lot of clouds. We drove few times to beaches up north to find consistent sun.

Absolutely amazing property and location. Our littles couldn’t get enough of the pool either! If you’re in Kona, this is the place!

This is a wonderful property. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen every night. Watching the geckos and looking for Opal. The pool is AMAZING. Good location for going anywhere on the island.

lovely property and decor, everything was provided for, no shortage of toiletries or cleaning material, we enjoyed your home very much. The photos do not do the property full justice.

We had a fantastic stay! We had three couples and this place was perfect - we loved the outdoor space the most!

If you, like us, prefer staying away from the crowds and traffic of Alii Drive or near the Pier, this is a great option. Very secluded grounds on an acre with lunch tropical foliage. The house itself is dated, but in good repair and well maintained. Internet is NOT good, but may not be the owners fault as the area has a reputation for poor service. A signal booster would be a nice inexpensive upgrade. The master bed is fair at best. Again, a little investment in a new improved mattress would be a good idea. Kitchen is well stocked with quality service items. Everything works fine and the pool area is very nice. We would stay again.

Great location, house is very nice and clean, lots of space, beautiful secluded yard, fully stocked kitchen, and the outdoor kitchen, fire pit and pool was fantastic! The birds are loud at sunrise and the geckos are inside and outside the house but we didn’t mind either. It was very convenient to have a cooler and the 4 beach chairs to use for the week! Communication was a little slow prior to the stay. Once we arrived a manager check in quick contact with me through text for the duration of the stay. We would stay here again!

This is a beautiful home and would recommend it. The only drawback is that it has open air ceilings which if it’s cool at night, make the home cool. So depending on the weather and time of year you may need to have warm clothes to wear in the evening and early morning until the home heats up. The pool is great and the home itself is fantastic. Beds were comfy and home is well stocked. The extra kitchen outside is a real plus and we used the grill a lot.

Fantastic stay, better than advertised.

My husband and I stayed at Ono Oasis for a week, and it is truly a spectacular property: a spacious house set on a half acre plus lot, surrounded by beautifully landscaped, lush tropical vegetation. The property is set high above the ocean, with spectacular views of the sunset over the water. The house is beautifully furnished in a Hawaiian style, with carved wooden furniture, antiques, and lovely accent pieces. The very large kitchen is built for entertaining, and has everything the guests might need to prepare a great meal. Wake up to the birdsong, grind the delicious Kona coffee in the morning, and sit outside with a cup, by the swimming pool, or in the outdoor kitchen area, and watch the birds flying from tree to tree. Some of the best bird watching on the Big Island is right at Ono Oasis, and I spent many hours in the heated salt water swimming pool, looking up at the palm and bamboo trees that are home to saffron finches, yellow billed cardinals, Northern cardinals, Japanese white eyes, and a number of other birds. Aimakapa fishpond is located just inland from Honokohau Beach in Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park, a few miles from Ono Oasis, and is another great area for bird watching. You might also see sea turtles sunning themselves on the beach here, too!

Wow, we absolutely loved our stay at the Ono Oasis for 3 weeks. We stayed with another couple and ended up using all three bedrooms since I liked to get up at dawn with the spectacular birdsong and my husband liked to sleep in. I would sneak off to the other guest bedroom and listen to the multitude of birds wake up in the backyard at sunrise while I read in the mornings and sometimes fell back to sleep in the truly comfortable bed. The spacious tropical backyard complete with fish pond and waterfall surrounds the 2800 ft.² house with a full 1/2 acre of tall old growth Palm and Banana trees that insure complete privacy from the neighbouring houses. No one can see you in the back yard or in the private salt water pool which we loved to skinny dip in. The master bedroom and living room lead out to the large Lanai overlooking the ocean at sunset below. Then at night we sat around the circular fire pit next to the waterfall & fish pond and enjoyed the bright stars. It was spectacular. I think my favourite part of the house is the huge indoor/outdoor atrium sunken living room with a huge skylight which acts as the entire ceiling . The atrium is filled with ferns and plants and is truly an indoor / outdoor experience. There is a large two person Hammock in the side yard in the shade of the ample fruit bearing banana trees. In addition to banana trees there are are limes , oranges , mangoes , papaya and pineapple growing on the land you can pick and eat. It really feels like you drove hours to get out into the country to this secluded property yet you are actually in a neighbourhood 10 minutes from downtown Kailua Kona shops, restaurants, snorkelling beaches and tourist attractions. The pool room has snorkelling gear, boogie boards, and beach chairs that you can borrow to go to the nearby sandy beaches with. The property boasts a spacious indoor chefs kitchen and dining room plus a full covered Outdoor Kitchen complete with large grill. Each kitchen has and its own full set of dishes for 12 to use at each of the two separate large dining tables. This place is perfect for a couple on their own or a group of 6 or 8 ( with the additional queen sized off the floor air bed available for use in the TV room area). We want to return next year with our adult children & their spouses. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed being in this spacious beautifully furnished home that truly lives up to its name
