Living & Dining

Open-concept design flows through the main level, where vaulted ceilings and wall-to-wall windows frame the ocean horizon. A custom sectional invites movie nights on the Smart TV, while the adjacent dining area extends seamlessly to the lanai. In the evenings, slide open the pocket doors and let the trade winds carry the sound of waves through the home.

Outfitted with Bosch appliances, double ovens, wine fridge, and a center island, the kitchen is designed for both casual breakfasts and festive feasts. A passthrough window keeps everyone connected, whether dining indoors or oceanside under the covered lanai.

Outdoor Oasis

Spend the day floating between ocean and pool. The heated pool features a swim-up bar, shaded lounge, and integrated spa. After sandy beach play, rinse off under the lava-stone outdoor shower before gathering for sunset cocktails on the furnished lanai.

Overall a great house! Only slight downside was a ton of stairs and the common areas were not air conditioned.

Everything was as advertised and more. It was the perfect place for our family of 12 with 3 generations and grandkids under age of 5. The beach was perfect for them, they loved the pool, and so many toys to keep them occupied. Views were amazing. We just needed more time to enjoy it all!

We had a pleasant stay here. The ocean is gentle (thanks to the shallow, rocky tide pools that break up the waves). In-room air conditioning worked well, and the lanai (with beautiful views) cooled the main section of the house with ocean breezes. The house is huge, but the Internet worked well everywhere. We had plenty of space, and the property/neighborhood rules were not onerous. My only complaint is that the water pressure to the showers could be better -- but otherwise, the house was perfect. The property managers were also very helpful when contacted.

It was great! The price is very steep. 5k in fees and taxes for one week.

This is a wonderful property with a great Hawaii vibe! It’s close to downtown with beautiful ocean views and the sound of crashing wave always present. Mermaid cove provides excellent snorkeling/ swimming especially for the kids in our group. The house was fully equipped. The kitchen was especially well stocked. Our host was very responsive and helpful. I go back in a flash

As the person before us wrote..."Unfortunately the day before we arrived I received a message that the pool/hot tub heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house."... Same for us. We were very disappointed as we thought that it had been fixed per that January review (we had booked in Dec before that review so we were stuck and hopeful it was fixed for us). It was broken our entire week visit - they were waiting on a part to arrive and it took longer than they estimated. I will tell you the ocean is warmer than their unheated pool so we were not able to use it at all - too cold. The house was nice and a nice location being on the beach. The beach view from the house was great. If you want a functioning pool/hot tub, I'm not sure I would trust this house for a while.

Unfortunately the day before we arrived I reviewed a message that the pool heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house. We weren’t sure how our granddaughter was going to like the ocean so having the pool warm for her was a must.

We traveled to Mermaid Cove with our 3 kids, and 5 grandkids to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The house was everything we could have imagined and more - the perfect setting for a fantastic 10 days. Incredibly well equipped, and located right on the water - we spent happy days on the beach or in the pool.

Aloha!!! This home was absolutely beautiful! It was incredibly clean and well-maintained, with a fully stocked kitchen—even including a few emergency spices, which was a thoughtful touch. The hot tub heated up quickly and was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.The location is unbeatable, with a stunning private cove just steps from the back door—ideal for swimming or snorkeling. Plus, it’s conveniently close to local shops and stores, which made everything easy and stress-free.One thing to note: the neighbor to the left (when facing the ocean) is sensitive to noise. If you're traveling with a larger group, be mindful of volume after 8 p.m., as she may call security. Security was polite but firm when they came by.Despite that, I would absolutely stay here again. The home, the setting, and the amenities all made for a truly memorable trip.

We had the best time during our stay! The views were amazing. The location couldn’t be beat. The house had everything we could want. It was such a great place to enjoy time with the family. The house is so thoughtful and had everything we could possibly need. Mahalo for such an amazing time!

Great property with unbelievable views and location. Great for groups that want to spend lots of time playing games and cooking together. Was hard to go out when we could stay here!

This home is beautiful! It had exceeded all our expectations. - from the ornate and attention to details in the house, to the beautiful beach just outside the gate. Perfect place for our grandkids, who enjoyed the pool and beach daily. I highly recommend this home, you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to come back!

This house was absolutely perfect. We had the best time with our family and friends. I was looking for a house on the beach where we could feel the breeze and listen to the waves crashing on the shore and it didn't disappoint. The beautiful house is situated on the best part of Keiki Beach with nothing short of a phenomenal view. It was very comfortable, clean and tidy. Everything was meticulously labelled and easily to use. The downstairs lanai with pool and hot tub was a favorite hangout for the kids and adults alike although the upstairs lanai was also very lovely. There were tons of pool and beach toys available to use as well as plenty of games and fun dress up outfits the kids loved. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into making it family friendly. This was a top-notch place to stay, and we would do it again in an instant.

Beautiful vacation home in a private neighborhood. Eight of us were very comfortable and the amenities suited all of our needs. The location and view were a dream. Stores and shopping within 5-10 mins. The management company was prompt and helpful. We all had a wonderful vacation.

This home did not disappoint. We are a family of 5 and my mother came with. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, high school graduation, 8th grade graduation and celebrating health. Our 3 children joined us, 18,16, and 14. My mother joined us too.The location was wonderful. Snorkeling right out front. A short drive to Kona for shopping and food. 20 minutes to the airport. Costco, Walmart and a new Safeway very close to the house. A few restaurants within walking distance, maybe 10-15 minutes. Plenty of space to stretch out. We spent most nights on the lanai talking. Meals at the big dining table. The pool area was nice, there is a public walkway right next to the house, which I was not aware of. It was fine, just more traffic than expected. There is a wall that helps with privacy. Maybe a little more greenery on that wall would need nice. Plenty of pool toys, especially for small children. The kitchen was stocked! There were starter supplies-water, dish detergent and clothing detergent. Small shampoo and conditioners, but I would bring shampoo/conditioner, and body soap. Small beach out front, usually filled up with other beachgoers. Woke up one morning to a large cruise ship, was there for only about 12 hours, can hear the engine, but we just played music in background. The sound system did not work, which was disappointing. The hammock was broke upon our arrival, but was replaced within a day. Not sure if the pool was cleaned. Amazing house, highly recommend.

Expansive and family friendly property. Lots of communication and direction. Only issues were 10am check out, some dust on fans (beware the dust allergy sensitive types) and termites, and cushions in need of replacement. Generally, a very good stay. Beach front perfection with crashing waves, and good views. Kona!

Fabulous time with the family at this home right on the beach. Amenities were plentiful and kitchen was well equipped for us to cook most meals at home. Enjoyed the pool and many seating options as well

All the boxes were checked for our time in Kona, everything in the house was so well thought out and very organized. Didn’t have any luck with the sound system, but zero complaints about anything else.
