The Hosts have lived in Kona for 33 years. They met here were married in the old Saint Michael's (pink) Catholic church downtown Kona on Alii drive. They now live on a working 12 acre coffee farm in Holualoa just up the mountain from Kailua Kona. They love welcoming guests and connecting them to the rich traditions of the islands. We love the island of Hawaii: the vastness, the colorful and unique local customs, the sunshine and sunsets of the Kona Coast, the beaches and beautiful blue waters along with the hunting and fishing traditions of the Big Island.

If you're headed out to explore the island, you are welcome to use a cold bag for shopping, cooler, beach chairs and towels.

This is a place you will call home... will want to remember... and will return to.

The pool house is perfect. Hosts are amazing. Location was very central to anything you want to do and there's a Walmart and Target a 5 min drive away to shop for food or supplies. The pool house comes equipped with anything you might need whether for a few days or a few weeks, the hosts have thought of everything. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable.

The host did an exceptional job of supplying everything we needed and more. Beautiful bed with new linens and soft beautiful towels. We asked if there was a weight bench and set and they went out and bought a new set for our use. Kitchen is very well stocked and location is great. Would definitely stay here again.

The perfect house for our two-week stay celebrating our 30th anniversary! The pool, outdoor kitchen, and AC made it so comfortable and relaxing. We truly felt at home and will definitely stay here again. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Second time staying here this year, third time overall. It’s so comfortable and a great location. We will hopefully be back before the end of the year again. Our very favorite in Kona!! The outdoor space is amazing and so private

This is our second stay at this property. I didn’t think it would be better than the last stay, but it was! The host was so gracious with the few request we made. He was prompt to respond and went way above and beyond. When you arrive, there is a very generous gift basket with clear directions of how to turn everything on. It was very clean and had a welcoming vibe. The kitchen is very well stocked with upgraded equipment and utensils. The outdoor kitchen is so much fun, complete with a air fryer and grill. There is a washer and dryer to use also. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. We both slept liked rocks while we were there. There are 2 separate a/c units that keep the house so nice and cool. The star of the house is the pool and outdoor shower. It is so private and inviting. The only down side to this house is you just don’t want to leave it. It’s so cozy and comfortable and has everything you could ever need. We so enjoyed both of our stays there and hope to return very soon. Thank you to the host Mark for being so accommodating and helpful.

Wonderful to have as desk set up for the computer. So few folks think of this. Only one criticism: The Kitchen was "split" with Fridge Sink, & Dishwasher inside and Cooking facilities outside. We managed fine, but it was a wee bit of a surprise. Otherwise wonderful. Great TV set up. Lovely Pool. Great Parking. We'd go return.

The property and owner were terrific. We enjoyed the pool and sunsets multiple times and had everything we needed for cooking and for the beach. Very well stocked pool house for two. The ONLY issue was barking dogs in the neighborhood.

Overall the PoolHouse was exceptional. Having access to a private pool and outdoor kitchen helped balance the weather conditions and escaping to the comfort of air conditioning when desired. Very comfortable bed and seating areas. The rental had quick access to the main parts of town and all amenities. The view was wonderful!

The home was within a 5 minute drive of the quaint and historical township of Kailua-Kona. It provided great views of the ocean and cruise ships. The lanai and pool were private and the bed is so comfortable.

My husband and I had a great time. This was the perfect setup for the 2 of us. The neighborhood is peaceful. The house is comfortable and clean. And having a private pool is awesome! And our hosts were very friendly. I hope future guests enjoy this house, neighborhood and hosts as much as we did. Thank you Mark and Denise for your hospitality.

The pool house was the perfect spot for our yearly sun break on the Big Island. The house is comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean in a nice neighborhood setting close to shopping and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed reading by the pool and relaxing. All and all, it was another fun trip on the Big Island! Thank you!
