Aloha! Welcome to the Tropical Garden Bungalow. I turned my spacious art studio into an artsy suite getaway. It's just 10 minutes from the airport and around 10 minutes to one of the most beautiful white sand beaches on the island. You will be surrounded here by lush tropical plants and flowers at the elevation of around 1000ft. The newly remodeled studio is perfect for travelers: it's a suite with private entrance, your own driveway, full spacious bathroom, and a fully operational galley kitchen. There's a lovely little garden area just outside your front door for sitting and enjoying the tropical flowers. It has an ocean view. Located in a quiet neighborhood. You will wake up to lots of song birds, after resting well on a comfy queen size bed. You can feel free to explore the yard and gardens in the front yard. Kick back in the two Adirondack chairs and watch a beautiful sunset. The skies here in Kona have been exceptionally clear due to the volcano quieting down. The star gazing has been really amazing too. I can be around as much or as little as you would like.I am somewhat flexible with check in times~ contact me about that if you want . You may want to know about some of my favorite restaurants, great hikes and beaches, and other really cool things to do. I can give you recommendations. I've lived on the Big Island for 39 years as a local artist and I'm happy to share the inspiration that I have drawn from this very special place with you.I am also available for private watercolor lessons. Inquire with me if interested. Also, if you would like a private showing of my watercolor originals, prints and notecards please let me know. The neighborhood is located around 10 miles from the heart of Kona town and in a great location for an easy drive to beaches up and down the coast. Also, you can be up on the highway and traveling to Hilo side in a matter of minutes. There is your own driveway and a rental car is advisable, or you can use Uber In the kitchen , I have a one burner electric hot plate for cooking with all the pots and pans needed to cook a meal. There is also a microwave, coffee maker , toaster & refrigerator.
