Just two short blocks from the beach, this beautifully updated Hawaiian retreat in the sought-after Kona Paradise community offers the perfect blend of island living, indoor-outdoor comfort, and flexible guest accommodations. The property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home, a recently replaced roof, new skylights, and solar panels, adding to its comfort, efficiency, and long-term appeal. A spacious wraparound lanai extends the main home's living area outdoors, creating the perfect setting for dining, sunset happy hours, whale and dolphin watching, and stargazing beneath Hawaii's night sky. Inside, an open-concept design showcases high open-beam ceilings, Native Ohia posts, abundant windows and sliding doors, fresh interior paint, new luxury vinyl and tile flooring, and beautiful ocean views filled with natural light. The kitchen features Koa cabinetry, a Dutch-door entry, wet bar, open dining area, and additional ocean views, while the primary ensuite opens directly to the lanai and includes dual sinks and a full bath with shower. Two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath with a walk-in shower, while a hot tub on the lower deck provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunset. Lush palms and plumerias, lava-rock walls, and concrete walkways complete the tropical setting, while an enclosed catchment tank adds practicality. Nearby Pebbles Beach offers swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and shore diving, and the community's 5-acre trail park includes a pickleball court. With convenient access to additional beaches, the City of Refuge, and the Kealakekua Ranch Center with its market, hardware store, and restaurants, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the relaxed beauty and natural splendor of coastal Hawaii.
