Reviews
Cozy, well furnished home with lots of fresh breeze and beautiful ocean views. AC in bedrooms was appreciated as option. Laundry right in unit. Lots of space to spread out!
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the front porch lanai. The host was friendly, helpful and quick to respond to our needs. Frogs were loud at night especially after rain. The air conditioners in the rooms helped to drown that out. There are people staying in the house downstairs which we didn’t realize when we booked. They were quiet and didn’t bother us, but know you aren’t alone. Extra twin size pull out bed in the primary bedroom closet which was helpful. Overall it was a good location for us and plenty of space for our family of 4 to relax at night after days in the sun.
Super clean and beautifully decorated place. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We had a late flight out, and they kindly allowed us to store our luggage in their garage until departure — much appreciated!
Beautiful venue with a great view! Many extras.
Great Spot
Great stay!
Excellent location, beautiful home, great amenities. We even got used to the music of night frogs. LOL. Thanks for sharing your place!
Lovely place. Full of natural beauty around. Enjoyed the stay.
It was very nice. We had an issue with the WiFi and were there within 10min to fix. They everything you would need for your stay.
CLEAN rooms.
Nice house, beautiful ocean view. We had a great time. AC unit in each bedroom.
Sarah’s place was perfect - perfectly located away from the hubbub of touristy Kailua-Kona but certainly close enough (if you have a car) to get anywhere (diving with manta rays anyone?). Her place was beautifully appointed for two adult couple - two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Comfortable living room area with a fancy aquarium set up in the wall unit. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Probably a highlight were the front deck seating area PLUS a back deck seating area. The lights over the back deck was a nice touch. On premise parking was a plus. I couldn’t figure out to lock the doors when we left but that was probably on me. For two adult couples, I’d definitely stay here again. Sarah was very easy to communicate with. 5 stars for sure.
Super awesome house in a great location. Everything you need to enjoy Kona and the surrounding Island. Owners were amazing, great communication, and good resource for recommendations.
Location is great, nice neighborhood, comfortable home, owner was very what to work with. Would highly recommend staying there if you're traveling to Kona!
Excellent choice and enjoyable stay
Great property and owners were very accommodating.
Aloha!Sarah’s property is gorgeous and offers an incredible sunset view. My group of friends and my partner were all amazed and happy with the amenities and the professional look of the home. Highly recommend!!
Pros: Good location to avoid Kona traffic and be near the Kohala coast. Washer, dryer, oven, and stove work. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. Minor Cons: Upon arrival, there were no trash bags and all of the bath towels were folded but wet. Kitchen knives are extremely dull; kitchen could use a colander and larger draining rack. Pillow cases, outdoor chair cushions, and sofa cushions are stained.Larger concerns: Smoke detector is missing. Master pocket door bathroom lock is broken such that my child got stuck because the inside handle would not engage the lock but just spun in place; had to lift the pocket door up to disengage the lock. Curtains in bedroom, bedroom window blinds, and bedroom fans have black mold. In the kitchen, 2 cabinets fell off hinges when we opened them. Sofa bed and rugs need deep cleanings. We had planned to use the sofa bed but had to use a small rollaway twin bed in master bedroom because no a/c in living room. We anticipated this and had planned to open windows at night. However, every screen is full of holes and mosquitoes and flies immediately entered the house when windows opened. A broken appliance in the living room made constant chirping sound that the host did not know how to stop. Luckily, the bedroom a/c units drowned out the sound at night. I notified the host of all of these issues before we left and she said she would tend to them.
Everything was amazing. Will definitely be staying here again!
This home and the owner are absolutely exceptional!!! We did not want to leave it felt like home. Great amenities and close to so many activities and the airport.
Great stay. Great amenities. Be aware it is 2nd floor with only stair access.
My family enjoyed staying. Perfect location to teavel west island. The house was very beautiful, clean, and had more than we needed. We definitely gonna com back. Highly recommended!
As soon as we walked in the property it was comfortable and the view of the ovean was spectacular! Everything was clean except the drawers in the main hallway bath had hair and dust in it and the dishwasher had dishes left behind. Very comfo63
We unfortunately only stayed here for one evening, but loved it! Adorable place with everything you could need. Definitely recommend!
We just loved this condo! It worked as a base for our day trips. It is in a quiet, well-kept neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked well with pans, utensils, and dishes. Safeway and Walmart are a short drive away. Sarah was extremely easy to work with and responded to emails quickly. The beds are comfortable and there are air conditioning splits in each bedroom. Plenty of towels in each bathroom. There is a dining table on the front porch and a large deck out back.Parking is off the road near the house. You would definitely enjoy your stay here.
This location was perfect for us as we visited the west side of the Big Island. The home was peaceful, and the sunset and morning coffee on the lanai were tranquil and perfect. Every detail was thought of and we wish we had more time to enjoy!
My family and I (4 adults) truly enjoyed staying here while visiting the Big Island! The place has two bedrooms with a rollaway cot and a pull out sofa. We ended up putting the cot in the secondary bedroom since the bedrooms have wall AC. But the main area and kitchen are also nice and cool down as well. The birds love to sing at night, just as a friendly heads-up :) This place is a great place to book since it has a close location to downtown Kona, the airport, and any major retailers. You are in a nice neighborhood and have a great view of the ocean. It's a great place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was convenient for locations we wanted to attend. Communication was great.
The Property was well appointed, maintained and in a great location, central to all of Kona and West Island Activities, the host was very helpful when we had questions. We enjoyed the ocean view from the balcony table in the mornings and we could get to shops, beaches and the best restaurants in minutes. Would definitely recommend the property and will likely return when we come back to Kona.
We had a wonderful stay at this place! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was well-equipped, and had such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The little touches a well-stocked kitchen, and thoughtful decor, really made a difference. It was the perfect spot for our family, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
Our work group stayed here while attending a trade show, and it was perfect! The place was spotless, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The charming sound of coqui frogs at night added a magical touch to the experience. We’d absolutely stay here again!
A wonderful and recommended stay. House has a great layout, with a lanai in front and deck out back. Location is very nice, and easy to get to many places. Quiet location also. Its clear the house has been well used, and a bit of light maintenance would be beneficial (paint, cupboard hinges, dryer noisy). No deal breakers at all however, and would recommend.
The home was great. Just as described. Everything was awesome.
Nice and convenient place to stay.
We loved staying here! It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood, up the hill and away from the crowds but perfectly located for zipping down for dinner and exploring other areas of the island. The front porch was terrific for enjoying coffee in the morning. The home was clean and tidy with the bonus of being able to open all the doors to let the breezes flow through. Comfy beds and having the a/c in the bedrooms was great. Sarah was great to communicate with - we'll definitely stay here on our next visit to the big island!
Can’t imagine a better place to stay and explore the Kona coast.
Our family stayed for 6 nights. We could have stayed forever. The property is even nicer in person. Ocean view was great. Two great bedrooms. Open living, dining and family area. Located within 5 minutes of every thing you will need. Property owner was great. Very responsive and helpful with things to do. Greatest value for money.
This lovely home in the hills above downtown Kona has an open feeling and beautiful views. We were there for a week with our family of 4, including two college-age daughters. We loved having coffee and breakfast in the morning on the lanai and coming home after a day of adventure to relax. The kitchen is stocked with the basics. We took advantage and cooked some of our meals. Sarah is an excellent and gracious host. She was super responsive and helpful in providing tips. She even dropped off a gift to us during the Christmas holiday. The house is very centrally located to exploring the Big Island. We loved our stay and highly recommend this property.
Open, airy house in quiet neighbourhood. Convenient to tourist district via a few minutes in the car. (Could do it with a long walk I guess). House as described - clean and nice.
Really lovely apartment, extremely well-stocked. Nice view out to the ocean. Would be great for families or two couples (although note that one queen bed and one king with en suite). Make sure you are ok with stairs. You might want a car, or plan to use uber (short, inexpensive drive). Evenings were cool and comfortable, but appreciated that had option for AC in the bedrooms. Owner is extremely responsive and very helpful!
We stayed in the house at the end of our trip. We loved the decks in front and back of the house. The house has good space and nicely decorated. Host were responsive and helpful.
A gorgeous get away, great vibe and the softest turkish towels! Sarah is very responsive and super helpful with suggestions for things to do.
We stayed here for the Ironman. Since our son qualified late we were very lucky to find this place. Communication with Sarah was perfect from the beginning. She gave us tips for restaurants, beaches, etc. She even supported our son during the Ironman. We loved the house. Our bed was even long enough for me (I'm about 2 meters tall). The kitchen has all the things you need. We loved both lanai's. The neighbourhoud is quiet. And it's just a short drive to the center and the supermarkets. We would certainly book it again when visiting Hawai'i
Brief stay prior to departing the Big Island. Great location for those looking to visit the Kona area. Nicely appointed property with all the amenities we needed. Nice lanai with sunset views and large back lanai for relaxing. Easy check-in and communication with host. Would stay again if we return to the Big Island!
The house was a delightful find for my recent stay in Kona! The space was beautifully maintained, offering a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The kitchen was fully equipped and ideal for home-cooked meals, while the living area provided a great spot to relax after a long day of exploring. The beds were comfortable as well as the pillows.The neighborhood was peaceful yet conveniently close to local shops and attractions. I particularly loved the assortment of beach gear (snorkeling, fins, etc.). The host (Sarah) was attentive and quick to respond to any queries, making the overall experience smooth and enjoyable. She provided information for best places to eat, see the sunset, and basic needs (groceries/gas). Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a great stay in Kona!
No wonder this home rates 10/10. If I could rate it higher I would. Beautiful home. Friendly helpful hosts. Clean, comfortable, relaxing. This is definitely a home away from home. Highly recommend!
Beautiful house (we occupied 2nd floor) with spacious decks, effective air condition in bedrooms. Great words of advice on restaurants and beaches from the most kind and effective hosts Sarah and James (thanks!). Future guests will appreciate adding a chest of drawers or a dresser into each of the bedrooms and more plates and cups. One recommendation on things to do: we have very much enjoyed visiting Kona Coffee Living History Farm.
Property is well maintained and very comfortable. Would suggest the owner provide a book/binder including information on TV operation, a map indicating parking and posting of checkout time (maybe a tasteful small sign on the refrigerator or other obvious location.). (Master bedroom window would not close completely.)
Thank you for your flexibility and kindness. The property is beautiful!
Excellent property and accommodations.
Enjoyed the house and the beach gear!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vrbo, it was clean and just the right size for the 5 of us girls. James and Sarah were very nice and even let us hang out a little past our check out time. We would definately stay there again
Adorable home with two great patios. Linens and sheets were clean. Home was clean and very comfortable.
Convenient location, quiet neighborhood, well supplied kitchen. Wonderful stay for a family of four.
Very good experience, some minor details on the property did not allow me to rate it to 5 stars. Pros: Great place, great location, very clean and responsive host. Cons: Property is Aging and some items need to be Adjusted/Replaced. Pocket doors are rubbing against their frame, Main mattress needs to be replaced and there is a broken board in the deck.
Very spacious and clean
Honestly, this was the (unexpected) best stay on our trip. My kids loved to play on the patio, my wife and I loved the barbecue and the breakfast table on the front side. Clean, quiet, good comm. with the host. If we ever come back, we’ll book here. Cheers!
We had a fantastic stay! From the moment we arrived, everything was in perfect order. The place was impeccably clean, and the amenities provided were just as described. The location was a good launching point for our travels around the island. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful and comfortable house for the 4 of us. Loved waking up early reading on the lanai watching the early morning sky turn to daytime. The house also had beach gear that we were able to use, and so 1 less thing we would need to rent. The washer and dryer was a big plus!!! Highly recommend.
Perfect place for a getaway. Easy to get to, close to places to eat and shop at. Very nice property!
