Rental Details

Property Overview

Ideally located on iconic Alii Drive directly where the world famous Iron Man takes place annually.
A number of palm trees and local landscaping on the front and side of the property add to the tropical appeal.
Nearby are many of Kona's enviable attractions including its famed beaches, surf spots, golf, restaurants and much more.

Almost midway between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou, this two story (plus roof deck), three bedroom, three bath home has the added benefit of two separate living areas. The home is one unit but each level can be separated, if desired, by a door.

Each level is equipped with a stocked kitchen, a washer and dryer and an outdoor space.

From the second level and open roof deck, views of the nearby ocean can be enjoyed, while the roof deck with seating and BBQ provides a great venue for relaxed viewing of Kona's famous sunsets and hinterland that includes Mt Hualalai.

Right out the front door of the lower level, there is a covered seating area, complete with a hammock for relaxing in the sunshine.

Please keep in mind that the famed Alii Drive offers beautiful views and is the "Main Street " of the town, with that does come vehicular noise.

There is a two car carport as well as a paved parking area for two more cars at the front of the home.

After a day at the beach, there is an outdoor shower area to rinse off the sand.

Please note that the water (showers, sinks, etc.) only gets pleasantly warm, not hot and takes a bit of time to get there. There may be ants/bugs on the property, we maintain with pest control regularly, but this is very common for a tropical environment to still experience some bugs around.

It is our policy to only host guests that have established profiles with reviews, this just helps us make sure that our house is a great fit for our guests. One of the ac units is not working.

We had a great time. The location was great and it was nice to have access to some beach gear. Super convenient on both fronts. The setup was awesome

The house was great for our large single family. Well appointed and stocked with necessities. The location was great as well. Close to beaches stores grocers and restaurants. Our only negative was the strict check in time. The host was not negotiable for an earlier check in. We have not experienced that in the past with other family focused rentals. Overall would recommend this home to other families traveling to Kona but would advise them to plan arrival accordingly to the check in time.

This house was large enough to accommodate our family vacation. The a/c worked well throughout the house and the beds were comfortable. The host answered quickly when we had questions. The patio was great for morning coffee and yoga, and we watched the lunar eclipse up there. All of the gear you could need for the beach is available, and the outdoor shower is great for rinsing off. A couple of things to note if you are planning a trip - the large living room and couch pictured is upstairs, so if you have people coming that struggle with stairs, you’d have to do everything downstairs with the small couch and bar seating area. There is no table downstairs (despite it being in photos). The upstairs kitchen has a lot of dishes, cookware, and appliances, and we found everything we needed.

We enjoyed this beautiful property. There were 3 couples and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. We enjoyed the upper deck, the layout of the main house and the ease of the location. Highly recommend this house for a vacation with friends or family.

Great little spot in Paradise! Close to everything but not too close! Loved hearing the crashing waves and the coqui frogs sing!

The house was spacious and a perfect spot on Alii drive to host our large family for the weekend. Check in was quick, and we utilized the extra spaces. AC was provided throughout the house, which was perfect for the hot Kona days! I would rent this house again, we just needed more linen for the pullout couch. Mahalo but loa!

This is a very comfortable and large home to share with other couples or family. It has a wonderful rooftop space to enjoy sunset!

We had an eight member family vacation July 8-15, 2023. During our stay, we had two questions we needed to ask the host and did so via email. The host's response was immediate! Very impressive and efficient. Everything was even better than described. For example, we had no trouble getting nice hot water everywhere. The only difficulty was that some of the plumbing lines were crossed inside the walls so that what one would assume was for turning on the hot was cold instead. Minimal twist to rotating faucets was hot and maximum twist was cold. There was sufficient beach equipment for every age. We had a rented pick-up truck we loaded up. Otherwise, we are not sure we could have carried it all, even to the beach across the street. Our granddad did not believe the ad saying 99 steps to the beach, so he counted his walk = 90 steps! Thank you, hosts!
