Hualalai, Villa LongBoard offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views, serene tropical breezes, and an atmosphere unlike any other. This one-of-a-kind retreat is a creative blend of upscale surf culture and Indowaiian-inspired design, making it a true standout on the Big Island.<br /><br />🏄‍♂️ Where Surf Style Meets Island Elegance<br />Villa LongBoard is the perfect balance of new and classic, styled as an upscale surf & sand villa with décor that fuses Hawaiian soul with Indonesian craftsmanship. Almost every piece of furniture is hand-made—either locally or in Indonesia from reclaimed materials—adding rich textures and meaningful character to every room.<br /><br />Outside, the property is thoughtfully landscaped with native plants and tropical greenery. You'll enjoy a refreshing outdoor shower, a fully-equipped grill station, outdoor dining areas, and some cool, unexpected features we won’t spoil here.<br /><br />🏠 Inside the Villa<br />Step into an expansive, open-concept living space that invites relaxation, creativity, and connection. Highlights include:<br /><br />🌊 One-of-a-kind Teakwood Bar – Custom-built and perfect for cocktails, conversation, or morning coffee<br />🎬 Screening Room – A cozy media area featuring a 65” Ultra HD curved cinema screen and deep-cushioned theater sofa<br />🎱 Hawaiian-Style Billiards Table – Regulation size and hand-carved from tropical hardwood<br />🍳 Gourmet Kitchen & Island Cooktop – Fully stocked with modern appliances, gadgets, and cookware for food lovers<br />🛏️ Master Suite – A massive, carpeted bedroom with his & her walk-in closets, spa-like bathroom with travertine floors, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and ceiling fan for added comfort<br />🌄 A Million-Dollar View… and a Million Reasons to Stay<br />From the villa’s elevated location—approximately 600 feet above sea level—you’ll soak in dramatic views of the Kona Coastline and endless Pacific Ocean sunsets. By design, the home embraces “Island Style” living, and as such, does not have air conditioning. At this elevation, you'll find the trade winds and cooler mountain air keep the home comfortably temperate most of the year. In fact, during winter, you might even need a sweater in the evening!<br /><br />📸 A Favorite Among Guests and Creatives<br />Villa LongBoard was recently ranked in the Top 5% of all Airbnbs worldwide for guest satisfaction and experience—proof that travelers truly love this space.<br /><br />Are you a creative?
