House was pure perfection! Outfitted beautifully! Pool and spa were terrific! Plenty of space and just beautiful!
We had the best time at Kona Blue. The house was gorgeous and had every amenity you could need. We used the pool and spa every day. The grounds were beautiful and everything was tastefully decorated. We walked to the outdoor market. It is there Wednesday and Friday down by the Outrigger. The pizza there was very good. You do need a car as you have to drive to get anywhere. Highly recommend Hapuna Beach. We were very sad to leave.
Great house, great location. We had a lovely stay.
Excellent stay accommodations were perfect. Just like the photos. The appliances state of the art! I love this home. Every detail is carefully thought out. Enjoyed watching the wild goats cross the golf course. The resident gecko was hanging out. Grandkids had a blast stepping out onto the covered patio area to swim in the pool! I enjoyed the spa after long days of exploring Kona and Hapuna beach and other beautiful places. If more air was needed we just flipped on the overhead outside fan. AC was greatly appreciated! Everything was clean and immaculate. Will be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home a wonderful 8 days of heavenly memories.
A very clean and pretty property. It's in close proximity to many excursions, a downtown shopping area with restaurants and a golf course. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need including a coffee maker that takes pods or beans.Pool is heated and hot tub attached so temperature is always rightAny inquiries were always responded to in a timely manner and all of ours were answered or requests were granted. Super flexible! Easy check in. Great place to stay, would come back for sure
Beautiful, relaxing, nice area!!!!
We walked in and were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the house. All of the furnishes were beautiful and we loved the pool and large lanai. We had wonderfully chill mornings swimming in the pool and relaxing on the Lanai. The hot tub was so relaxing and nice after a full day of activities.
Many Mahalos for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your beautiful home as we visited and enjoyed time with our families. We appreciate all of the amenities and are thankful the Elite office staff were available when we had a question! Take care and again many Mahalos!
There was a total of 6 adults. The entire home was extremely clean, beautiful inside and out and even came with snorkeling gear, bikes etc. We had everything we needed. We stayed 8 days total. Would definitely rent from this company again. The pool is perfect.
A perfect place for our once in a lifetime vacation! We so enjoyed our time in paradise.
this place was great it had a pool and was in a nice community not to far from shopping and food. the view is of a golf Corse
Lovely place. Perfect for our adventures here in Kona. Played lots of golf and came back to soak in pool and jacuzzi.
We had a very nice and comfortable stay here. The house itself was clean and ready for us and had all the amenities we could've wanted. It's also extremely close to the location of some recreational boating/snorkeling tours, which we took advantage of. However there were some issues with the pool. The auto-vacuum had been pulled out prior to our arrival and there was what looked like plastic debris in both the pool and hot tub. I was able to contact the property manager, who had the pool folks out the next day. They were able to clean up maybe 75% of the debris aside from what I was able to do myself by reinserting the auto-vacuum and directing it towards problem spots. This is a great property and I'd probably stay here again, however for the cost of the stay I would expect the pool to be clean and ready on check-in.
We loved our stay. The home was wonderful and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. There were plenty of towels and beach equipment. We hope to stay again!
