Nice spot out of town. Easy to get around. More spacious than expected. The Vrbo listing indicates a washer and communal pool. Neither were correct. Sandra was so nice she offered to do our laundry! The roosters will wake you in the morning and the wild birds will sing you to sleep.
Wow, wow, wow! Absolutely perfect stay! Great for visiting Kona w/o the resort feels…!!! Home away from home for sure! Pineapples, mangos, starfruit, and more grow in their private garden, and if u ask nicely u can try them!!! I will miss u too Mango (cat)!!!
From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and "loved". Sandy's place is an oasis within the paradise of the Big Island.... Get ready for a soft landing and a lovely stay. Everything about her property reflects the comfort and care she extends in taking care of her guests. Thoughtful touches abound (Kona coffee in the kitchen!)-- super comfortable bed. Great location (near beaches, airport and downtown Kona)and everything Is IMMACULATELY clean. Book this NOW... You won't regret it!
It was a beautiful property. Quiet, perched up in the hills, but close to town. It is a shared property so you can hear other guests at times but it was not an issue at all throughout our stay. The bed was comfortable and the hosts were great. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Beautiful, cute slave to stay in! Enjoyed it except for someone staying downstairs by the pool talking on his phone very loud at 7am throwing a football at the inflatables and woke us up. I would stay here again because I know that's not something that will always Happen. Owner was very welcoming and inviting, house was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the Great Kona Escape! I would recommend this to others in a heartbeat. The apartment is even more beautiful than pictured and so spacious. The grounds are beautiful- it was the perfect location for us. All appliances worked well, and would stay again easily. Sandra and Ken had excellent recommendations for activities and helping with our itinerary planning. Thank you so much for all!
Perfect calm and quiet retreat close to Kona, but away from the crowds. Has everything you need and Sandra is an excellent host providing easy communication and check-in
We enjoyed our stay at The Great Kona Escape. The grounds are more beautiful than many botanical gardens. We enjoyed walks in the gardens and gorgeous sunsets over the ocean. The vibrant paintings by Sandra and a few of her friend's in our dwelling were a joy to see. When we had questions, she was there with answers and suggestions. We were in a resort previously on the Kona coast where the heat was too intense. We decided to seek a cooler upcountry place to stay and found a greater and more pleasant experience for our vacation. Sandra's is a great place to stay with easy access to all areas around Kailua-Kona. The mountains, beaches and the parks... just go.
We were happy to visit the Kona estate as it was quiet and a good location.
Sandra and Ken are very welcoming and caring. We came to compete in the ironman world championship, we would not have found a better place to stay. The property is quiet, peaceful, neat and beautiful. Apartment is very convenient and private. The bed is so comfy and it feels great to have AC at times. You will enjoy flowers, delicious fruits and amazing view from the garden. Located 10min away from Kona center, it is very pleasant to avoid the crowd and cooler air. We would come back any time. Thank you !
