Private, ocean front home with private pool, Amazing place!

Rick’s Place

Discover how to REALLY relax!
Would you like to relax in your own peaceful pool that you share with no one, listening to your favorite tunes, while enjoying the vast expanse of the ocean right in front of you - amazing whales, spinner dolphins and colorful fish, the sunsets, and complete serenity, for less than the price of a resort hotel room? Then our home will be perfect for you.
If you are like me, you want to do nothing but relax and disconnect while on vacation. I don’t like resorts, eating every meal out, sitting around a pool with 100 other people.
Rick’s Place is a cozy, romantic home, perfect for two. Unwind, enjoy each other’s company, and disconnect from your crazy busy life. I suggest stopping in town for a few groceries. Spend your days sitting around in the solar-heated pool, reading on the lanai or sitting by the sea wall. Watch the whales jump in the winter months (they will wake you up at night during whale season!), Enjoy cooking dinner on the gas barbeque or in our well-equipped kitchen while enjoying an icy cocktail. Milolii sunsets are the highlight of the day- no two are ever the same. Turn off all the lights and lay out on the chaise lounges and look at the moon and the Milky Way at night. Showering in the outdoor shower with the ocean breeze blowing on you is refreshing and revitalizing. There is good Wi-Fi and Direct TV on smart TVs, as well as a Blu-Ray player.
There is a viewing area on the cliff where the sea while enjoying your morning coffee or your evening libations. The Kona fishing fleet aims for the waters in front of the house, so sometimes you can witness a hook-up while staring out to sea (we provide binoculars). You can look down and see tropical fish and the occasional turtle swim by. Sometimes the surf is high and the waves crash against the cliff dramatically. One guest called the high surf “Hawaiian fireworks” which is a great description.
The drive down from the highway takes you from 1500 ft. elevation to sea level. It’s a winding ride, but there are spectacular views on the way down. If you want to go to town every night or do a lot of sightseeing, the drive may be inconvenient. For a day trip every few days, it is no big deal.
There is easy access to water and great snorkeling a short walk north of the house at the Milolii Beach Park. There are many beautiful beaches and good restaurants within an hour’s drive. Our house is centrally located between Kailua-Kona and Volcanoes National Park.
If you need supplies during your stay, there are well-stocked grocery stores 20 minutes south, in Ocean View.
My home has one bedroom, 1.5 baths, plus an outdoor full bath with a shower overlooking the ocean. Every room in the house except the half bath offers up an ocean view. Kitchen is easy to cook in and is well-appointed, and the living area is furnished very comfortably and is open and breezy. Bedroom and living room glass French doors open to the ocean view and breeze. The wrap-around lanai includes a small solar heated pool.

We stayed at Rick’s Place for our honeymoon and it was a great time. Would stay there again! Dan was very responsive and made sure we had all we needed and that we arrived safely. Please do yourself a favor and stay here. The outdoor shower, the view, the pool, and quiet neighborhood is great.

Supreme relaxation
Our 4th time to stay here. Love the location and listening to the surf at night. We saw all kinds of marine life as well as cardinals, mynas and other birds. A windy road getting in and out,but all part of the experience. Dan is a great host, available if needed. The closest town,Ocean view, is a nice place to go for dinner or groceries. A great place to go for relaxation and away from the party crowd.

Heaven on Earth
Could write a book about this place. Such a quiet, relaxing & comfortable place, not to mention the amazing view! If you need a place to recenter & rejuvenate, this is it! Stayed for 5 nights & never left the whole time. Kitchen & grill perfect for making meals. The outdoor shower is to die for! Dan is an absolute perfect host with great attention to details of this lovely hale. Kitchen dishes, pots & pans were clean & nice; towels were thick & soft; bed was super comfy. If we're lucky enough to come to the Big Island again, we will definitely plan a stay here. Mahalo, Dan, for sharing such a wonderful home!

A piece of paradise—shared!
Excellent property! Probably the most well-equipped rental we’ve stayed at. Everything has been thoughtfully curated to make one’s stay enjoyable—it’s not fancy but immensely comfortable. The setting is fantastic—right on the ocean with a delightful plunge pool and plenty of shade if needed. It’s pretty private—minimal noise from intermittent construction and a rental house two lots over. Bring your food with you as the nearest stores are 15 or so miles away and carry the basics. Then settle in for a relaxing time! The night skies are awesome. The host Dan was accessible and helpful.

Incredibile and relaxing stay!
My husband and I stayed at Rick’s place for my 30th birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house had stunning views from every room and the area was peaceful and quiet. As soon as we arrived, we loved Rick’s place so much that we canceled the rest of our plans and decided to stay there the whole trip. We didn’t miss a single sunset or sunrise and even saw a pod of dolphins! Our host Dan was super responsive and so welcoming. We will absolutely be back!

This has been by far the best rental experience we have had yet. The house and host were incredible. With all the great things to do and see in Hawaii we found the house to be a highlight of our trip. If you are looking to get away from the crowds and have a resort feel at the same time this is the place to stay!
