About US

About Us: Aloha! This is Emmy. I am the owner and manager of these lovely vacation rentals in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i. I had been working in Silicon Valley California for over 25 years and worked as a software engineer and entrepreneur.  I founded several startup companies in Silicon Valley, built several successful businesses, and pursued my entrepreneurial dreams there.   I loved living in the California Bay Area and still consider it my "Home on the Mainland."

 My lifelong dream has always been to live in Hawaii - paradise on earth.  My first truly memorable experience in Hawaii was a family vacation on a cruise ship that visited each of the Hawaii islands. We fell in love with Kona.  The Big Island is the best.  There is so much to do here, with crystal clear water for snorkeling, rainforests, waterfalls, and volcanoes to explore, and mountains that almost reach the stars.

I bought my first dream house in 2013, and three years later, just after my daughter graduated from high school in California in 2016, I moved to Kona.

One of my lifelong interests, besides high tech, has been real estate. I love exploring the properties in every destination I visit. Combining my love for Hawaii and homes, I now own 5 beautiful vacation rental houses.

I have put much effort into every house to make them as comfortable and welcoming as your own home.  I use the latest technologies on the rental houses, with a smart lock, Amazon Alexa, a comprehensive customized online welcome book for each guest, and much more. 

Our team is responsible and responsive to your inquiries.   We live close to all of our rental houses, we are always available for our guests.   We do our best to provide the best services to our guests.

Why We Chose Kailua-Kona, HI, USA:

I've always felt at home with the tropics and the ocean. The landscape and scenery of the Big Island are unparalleled. From volcanoes to waterfalls, my favorite part of Kona is the snorkeling that gives you a peek into the vast and amazing ocean life. Kailua-Kona, the town itself also has a great, laid-back vibe and easy access to beaches, stores, farmer's market, and restaurants.
