We were able to spend two and a half months here and enjoyed everything about this property. Beautiful home, quiet neighborhood and amazing views of the coastline and the Pacific. The floorplan was well thought out with plenty of privacy for everyone. The kitchen was supplied with nice dishes and plenty of kitchen extras. We only ate out twice and that was lunch... It was more enjoyable for us to cook at home and take advantage of everything we had there. We spent hours on the lanai just enjoying the view and surroundings. The master bedroom was very comfortable, and any guests we had said the same of the guest rooms and beds. The fish were a lot of fun. We fed them every morning before our walk, and they seemed to always be "watching" for us. Beautiful fruit trees and the best grapefruit we've ever eaten! The oranges, avocados and papaya were also very good. Hands down, this has been a favorite of all the places we've stayed in Kona. Thank you for letting us enjoy the winter months in your home... It was the best!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Puuwai Alii Estate in Kona, Hawaii, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, we were enchanted by the beauty, luxury, and attention to detail that this vacation rental offered.The first thing that struck us upon arrival was the stunning location. Perched on a hillside overlooking the ocean, the views from the estate were simply breathtaking. The property itself was spacious and well-designed, providing plenty of room for our group to relax and enjoy ourselves. The interior was beautifully decorated with a blend of modern amenities and traditional Hawaiian charm. The living areas were comfortable and inviting, perfect for lounging after a day of exploring the island.One of the highlights of this estate was the outdoor space. We spent many afternoons lounging by the pool, soaking in the sun, and taking in the panoramic ocean views. The outdoor dining area and grill were also fantastic additions, allowing us to have memorable al fresco meals while enjoying the tropical breeze.The bedrooms were well-appointed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after long days of adventure. Waking up to the sound of birds and the gentle rustling of palm trees was a wonderful way to start each day.The property management team at Kona Hawaii Rentals was professional and accommodating. They were responsive to our needs and provided excellent service from the booking process through check-out. We were also given helpful information about the local area, including recommendations for restaurants, activities, and must-visit attractions.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our time immensely at Puuwai Alii Estate. From the moment we walked through the door we were blown away. The pictures do not even do it justice. The house is peaceful and private but only a quick drive down the hill and you’re in the middle of everything Kona has to offer. The layout could not have been more perfect for our multi-generational multi-family trip with each individual suite secluded but connected. Every detail has been attended to, from luxurious amenities and finishes to the small thoughtful considerations of fine resort. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed and stores and farmers markets were very convenient. The outside spaces are an extension of the house with morning rainbows on the lanai, afternoon swims at sunset, and stargazing from the hot tub. The central location allowed us to spend our time exploring all the island has to offer. Day trips to Volcanoes National Park, over the saddle road to Hilo and Waimea, to multiple adventures spent exploring the beaches of the Kohala Coast. Snorkeling with the sea turtles and savoring the sunsets made for lifelong memories. Thank you for the amazing stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful home with an incredible backyard and view. Complete with infinity edge pool & hot tub. BBQ and outdoor bar/eating area made us want to stay all day. Lot of rooms for multiple families. You could even have a set of grandparents come with and stay in their own apartment over the garage. We loved vacationing in this home and will definitely come back again and again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved, loved, loved this property! Only about 20 minutes south of the Kona airport, this house sits a mile up from the main road. And what a view a mile makes! The homes' backyard features an infinity pool that overlooks the most stunning panoramic view of the Kona coast that we've ever seen. You can see 30-50 foot waves crashing 10 miles away and they still look huge. The pool and hot tub along with views of whales, rainbows, planets, stars and the moon make you never want to leave the backyard. But you did need to sleep and for that the house works very well, feeling ultra comfortable and expansive. All the rooms are very private and each has their own bathroom. The kitchen has plenty of everything you need to host several families for meals. We didn't want to leave. I highly recommend a stay at Puuwai Alii Estate.
