Incredible view. Kitchen had everything you need to cook, bake, etc. Great grill on the patio. Great starter kit supplies which consisted of laundry pods, dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper. Wonderful house overall and we would absolutely stay there again.
We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, just a quick drive into town for restaurants, shopping, and anything else we needed. It still felt peaceful and private, with beautiful views all around.The home was super clean and really well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, which made things easy and enjoyable. The layout is a bit unique, and getting to the backyard and pool means walking through a bedroom or going around the outside of the house, but it wasn’t a big deal for our family.The pool is a little older, but it was still a great feature and the kids absolutely loved it. They spent hours swimming and playing.Overall, the house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking forward to coming back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pictures don’t do it justice!
A beautiful, spacious place. Many amenities provided and it was an easy walk to those and the beach.
This property was just fantastic. Perfect for our family of 7 and well above our expectations. Fabulous views with different sunsets every night. Great location to activities in the Kona area. We cannot wait to stay here again!!!
We arrived an hour early and cleaners were still there so went to Safeway for groceries. The access code is timed precisely, it did not work at 3 pm, was fine at 4 pm.Beds were good, kitchen well equipped with good selection of appliances, dishes and utensils. We were happy to use coolers, freezer packs, and beach chairs in garage.Ceiling fans were adequate and did not need AC, although they also had numerous fans and a dehumidifier so maybe more of an issue in summer.Roku TV in living room was available.Easy access to marina, shopping and roads.We would rent this property again.
Clean, great sunset views
All 7 enjoy the location, the deck, everything couldn’t have worked out better.
This property is bigger and better than the pictures. Not having A/C was never an issue for us, as the ventilation was great in the house. Incredible views, comfortable beds and a beautifully stocked kitchen. Thank you!!!
This was a wonderful place for our extended family of 8. (Nine day stay) The two 5 year olds made good use of the pool daily (if not twice daily) and the adults enjoyed it as well. The kitchen is large and well appointed and great for cooking family meals.( I would recommend the owners provide a few plastic cups/glasses for small hands. Also surprised there was no teakettle or electric teakettle for heating water.) The bonus room was great for the girls arts and crafts as well as the fold our sofa for sleeping. Location was good for getting to most places on the island. It was quite hot while we were there. The many fans made it comfortable during the day but nights were pretty muggy until the early morning. Oh and if your there in late June check the Mango tree in the front yard. Delicious mangos straight off the tree.
The place was great. One of the best I have ever stayed in.
As you walk in, the view is breathtaking..The house was perfect. You can be sitting on the couch or lounging by the pool and always have a beautiful panoramic view. This house also was probably one of the cleanest homes I have ever vacationed in. Plenty of privacy, almost feels like your own oasis in paradise.
Great property, awesome views, close to downtown on the water. Pool was great.
Amazing view and location! Perfect for our family of young children and grandparents. Quiet and walkable neighborhood. Communication with the rental company was superb and easy.
