House in Paradise
We had a wonderful visit in the Ohia House. The house has everything you need and more. We actually spent most of our time just lounging around the house and enjoying the grounds. They have everything you need for a day at the beach including coolers, towels, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and beach toys. Hosts were every responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay!
The house was very clean and the kitchen very well appointed. It worked very well for two adults and our three kids. 45 minutes to Volcano National Park. Found some great food at the Puna Kai Shopping Center which was not far away. Thanks!

Mahalo nui!
I would highly recommend this place! This was a move for us, not a vacation, so, like most moves, it was quite stressful but Laura was always kind & patient & understanding of our situation. Def made things SO much easier. And her home was so nice! And comfortable & it had absolutely everything you could want or need & more. Thank you so much!!!

The house itself is amazing. The pictures don’t do the house justice. We really enjoyed talking with the groundskeeper. He mentioned some people just chose to stay at the house for their whole visit and we can see why.

About the host

Hosted by Aki and Laura Lintunen

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Big Island in 2000 and built Hale E Komo Mai in 2011. Now we are building new memories with our family, friends, and especially our grandchildren. We look forward to coming back to Hawaii each year while continuing to explore this vast and beautifully diverse island.

Why they chose this property

We are excited to share our 'impractical dream' with you, with a relaxing home to return to after a full day of activities and exploring. You will be surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation and a peaceful neighborhood. We looked at many areas on the Big Island and chose Hawaiian Paradise Park for its acreage that provides quiet and privacy, while still being central to the ocean, trails, parks, restaurants and nearby shopping.

What makes this property unique

A unique and modern home designed with covered walkways that connect all areas. Impressive lava rock columns, circular planter with seating, and an outstanding outdoor shower were all hand shaped by a local craftsman. The home maximizes light and captures the trade winds and breezes, with sweet scents drifting indoors from the professionally landscaped gardens. The home is large, yet very comfortable for a couple or a large family. The grassed yard is great for the kids to play, to have a game of bocce ball or croquet, or to just relax on the lounge chairs while enjoying all the tropical trees, fruit trees and scented plants and flowers.
