About this house rental

Located in Holualoa, this lovely house for $385 per night is a great choice for your next trip. STRV 19-350348 NUC-19-0481 Mo Snell's Kona Coffee Farm is located on the historic Mamalahoa Highway on the Kona Coffee Belt. The half-acre coffee orchard of two hundred trees surrounds two beautiful custom designed and built structures: the one bedroom farm house and a studio. The studio is not available for rent. The farm is 1200 feet above sea-level on the slopes of Hualalai Volcano (dormant) with breath-taking views of Kona and the vast Pacific Ocean. The higher elevation is cooler than beach side and is welcome after a day in the sun and surf. The farm is above the hustle and bustle of Kona town. The farm house has a spacious covered lanai and sliding teak/ glass doors between the living room and lanai that open completely onto the lanai with unobstructed 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. A 4 foot deep salt water lap pool adjoins the lanai. It’s 30 ft long and is not heated. On cloudy days the water will be cool. The property is terraced with lava rock, landscaped with a variety of tropical plants and very private. The home was designed by renown Seattle architect, Chris Snell. The architecture mimics traditional Hawaiian hale (homes) and Japanese farm houses. The building materials are unique to the Kona-area. He incorporated lava rock walls, hand milled Ohia trees for framing and paneling. The home is constructed by the best carpenters and craftsmen on island. The farm house is built of hand milled Ohia wood. The slider doors are teak. The kitchen cabinets are bamboo with black granite counters. The roof is galvanized metal and exposed on the interior of the home. The roof replicates the corrugated tin roofs seen on old coffee shacks. The home is exquisite in every detail. The bed room looks over the lap pool into the coffee orchard. There is a ceiling fan. The large west facing window/wall looks out over the pool and vista. The farm is completely organic: no pesticides, nor herbicides are used. It is surrounded by jungle plants and therefore ants can hatch suddenly. We eradicate them organically upon notice . The property is maintained by a gardener and pool services two days per month. The property is only a ten minute drive down the mountain to Kona Town for shopping, and beautiful white sand beaches for swimming and snorkeling. Holualoa is a quaint town located 3 miles south of the farm. The town of Holualoa is an artist-community and home to numerous art galleries. Mamalahoa Highway is a historic road, the High Road, and runs through the heart of Kona Coffee Belt with many fascinating towns, galleries, farms and historical sites. Looking for Kona up-country experience, then my farm is for you. This is an agricultural area. surrounded by jungle. You will hear frogs, chickens, roosters, an occasional wild hog, and tropical birds. The architecture is open and designed to blend outdoors and indoors. If you are sensitive sleeper, consider another property. Bring ear plugs. And if you are a light sleeper, consider another location. The house is screened in above the sliding windows for a very open experience. A studio cottage is also located on the property. It's not for rent. I stay in the cottage from time to time.

We LOVED our stay at Motter's beautiful Hawaiian home! It is high above Kailua Kona with an amazing view of the coastline below. The plantation animals that others write about are indeed a bit noisy with an occasional rooster noise in the middle of the night. But, they always die right back down and allow for blissful sleep. And, all the fun noises add to the charm of the place! There are abundant coffee farms along the historic road you take to get the house. The cleaning of the unit was impeccable. The owner was VERY responsive to our communications and was so kind as to encourage us to pick any fruit on the property during our stay. We will be back- such a lovely home and host!!

This was the most AMAZING VRBO property we've ever stayed in. Everything about the grounds and home are restorative. Fresh fruit grows on the trees, beautiful plants surround you at every turn, the bed is comfortable, the pool is peaceful and the view cannot be beat. No need to go out at night - we picked up fresh produce and fish each day from the local markets and cooked at home. The owner's descriptions are 100% accurate, so if you want quiet in the morning...choose another place. But if you love being a part of nature...this is for you. This place is truly special. Thank you to Mo for allowing us to experience Chris' vision. It's perfection and we can't wait to return.

My husband and I stayed at Mo’s place for the entire duration of our honeymoon and we will certainly be back. The home itself is incredible. The architecture and all of the details are so warm and welcoming. The property is stunning. We picked lemons for our water and found ripe avocados on the property we used for toast and guacamole. We opened the doors before sunrise every morning and watched the sunset almost every night from the back patio. It is the most beautiful home we have ever been to. There were plenty of provisions and linens for our week-long stay. We have not one bad thing to say and we have already said when we come back to Kona, we will come back here. If you are looking for a beautiful, private, romantic place to stay, this is it. We cannot recommend Mo’s home more.

My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon at this marvelous and magical place. Not only was it everything we hoped for, but it was beyond. The sea view was spectacular, and the jungle noises lulled us to sleep and enhanced the experience. The curated architecture and art work, and the history of the construction is clearly imbued with the love that has gone into the creation of this space. Need I say more...? Stay here if you can.

Absolutely loved the open living spaces with nature. The Jungle noises were wonderful (it is loud at night). The property is beautiful. We didn’t use the pool much at all as it fairly chilly. We usually got sun in the mornings until around lunch then mostly cloudy which was fine as it was a perfect temp but not for swimming. We would definitely stay here again.
