Nice gated community. Views and amenities were well worth the stay. David, our concierge, was wonderful and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this house.

The property is immaculate and almost could not be at a better location. Almost and maybe it is a bad the time of year, but we had almost no breezes. The property is perfect EXCEPT for only one issue which is important. The front half of the house is almost not usable except for the kitchen. It was way too hot. No A/C. There are ceiling fans but the humidity makes it unbearable except for early mornings. The front master has an A/C unit but the door is ventet. That makes it damp and musty. Again, not usable. Maybe there is a different time of year than mid May when we stayed when winds are different and not so hot. Otherwise this is a perfect property. The owner and management look after every detail. I hate even mentioning the heat issue. We are from south Texas so we know heat and humidity. Also, while there are fans in the living room, they would not work as though the outlets had no power to them. But for this issue this place is a 10 out of five property.

It’s exceptionally rare that I stay at a property with literally zero concerns or gripes. But, it certainly happened this time. The property is amazing, the location is amazing and the process was super smooth. I cannot recommend the property highly enough. Pay attention to the fact that the main living space and kitchen is not air conditioned - this may or may not be a problem for you. It makes the space feel different than the conditioned bedrooms and maybe different from what you are used to, but it is the price paid to be able to experience the incredible combined inside/outside space provided by the huge folding patio doors and incredible patio. Note also that the pool can be a little chilly because it’s not heated and the spa only heats a few hours in the evening. We knew that and none of it affected our enjoyment of the property. 10/10 and will definitely come back again.

We got our extended family together here and had 6 adults and 2 pre-teens stay here. The house and layout was perfect for us. It's great that 3 of the 4 bedrooms are in the back/separate area so that some could go to bed earlier/later and also wake up earlier/later. We could be in the kitchen making noise and not wake up most folks. All the bedrooms have their own air conditioning unit, which made sleeping pleasant. The house is in a gated community, which adds a few minutes to get in and out of, but that makes it quiet even though you're only 5 minutes from the central Kona area. There are two beaches you can walk to, one of which is very calm and protected. There is a nice public walkway that goes in front of all the houses in the community, so there were people walking by the house all day, but we also used the pathway to get to the beach. We used the pool and patio a lot and felt like it is one of the nicest setups in the development. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would go back again.

Our family had a great stay! Listened to the waves each morning and night from the lanai. Spacious kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms. Super close proximity to downtown Kona. Would stay here again!

We have stayed all over the Big Island and Hawaii. Our group of 8 appreciated the proximity to downtown Kona both for running/walking and dining. Also, the home is located next to a large playground complex. My wife and I joined in open Pickleball a few times. The home is on the water, giving a perfect view. The best endorsement - we have already booked for next year.
