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.

Summary: We had an amazing vacation at "Rick's Place" in Milolii Beach on the Big island. Dan is the best Host we have ever had, We arrived late and the doors were open with a beautiful breeze flowing through the house and lovely Hawaiian music playing. The house was so clean and the bed was very comfortable. Sleeping every night with the sound of crashing waves and gentle breezes was heavenly. Dan has everything one could need, The kitchen was stocked with supplies, dishwasher soap, tons of utensils and dishware and pots, pans, coffee makers...couldn't ask for more! We loved the pool and swan daily. Water was good temperature and pool very clean. Sitting out on the point that lead down from the home made for many sweet afternoons. The waves crashing up on the lava cliffs was spectacular. We wanted to avoid Resorts for a change and this was perfect. If you want complete peace, quiet and isolation this is your place.I also enjoyed those little geckos that wandered about with their beautiful colors. Friendly little creatures.We had many great adventures snorkeling and pods of dolphins swam alongside and under our boat trip to Captain Cook. The people were all so kind and helpful. I drove into the little village of Milolii and met some cool natives. Most important thing is to honor and respect the people and the island and in return you will be given such kindness. We enjoyed grilling fresh fish as Dan has a gas grill. Mahalo Dan! We will be back!
