First, the good: Beautiful views, and we were there in late fall so the fact that there was no AC (as originally listed) wasn't as big an issue. There were a variety of dive fins to use and a washer and dryer.
Disappointments: The property wasn't as nice as what the pictures represented. The host originally listed a 3rd bed in the living room and AC which we were counting on. However, there was no AC in the house and the springs in the pull out mattress in the living room were rusted and broken, and the bed itself smelled mildewy, as did one of the bedrooms and the bathroom. There were animal droppings literally everywhere- the floor, the rugs, the kitchen counters, the bathroom counters, the walls, and the patio was really covered. This was perhaps the biggest disappointment, since I had specifically relied on the reviews stating that the property was very clean. I contacted the host but she didn't resolve or address our issues during the stay. VRBO helpfully informed me after the fact that I should have reached out to them during the stay instead of relying on the host. Hard to spend all your vacation time trying to resolve an issue that shouldn't be there in the first place, especially when you are encouraged to work out the issue with the host first. Not sure if they will even post this. Pro Tip: Don't use VRBO, as they are far more interested in profit than protecting and supporting their guests. The company and the host have been unwilling to address our concerns.

Charming seaside retreat in jungle-like environment. Expansive ocean views. Friendly geckos on-site.

As amazing as the photos on this listing are, they don't even really do justice to how spectacular it is. The view is as good as you can find anywhere in Hawaii, and we watched sunset every evening from the lanai. Easy access to lots of beaches without ever needing to go into Kona.

The home is very well equipped and exceptionally well decorated with a variety of original artwork. It feels like a home rather than a rental.
The on-site (downstairs) caretaker, Vee, is very caring and helpful without being intrusive.
This was a very relaxing place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at Kona Paradise. Just walking to the door makes you feel enveloped in aloha. Those 180 degree beach views were as advertised. Every night we were on the lanai watching the sunset. Love the sounds of nature throughout the day. Very comfortable, clean, great instructions and friendly assistance if we needed it (we didn't!). Beach gear (towels, water shoes, snorkel gear) available for use. Loved it!

My husband and I recently stayed at Michele’s home in Hawaii and we had an amazing time! The home was exactly as listed, the amenities were plentiful (it had everything we needed), and the view of the ocean and sunsets from the deck is gorgeous. This neighborhood is a little quieter and slightly farther away from Kailua-Kona than others, but that’s exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend Michele’s home to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful time on the island. Thanks again, Michele!

Perfect stay for my wife and I, and a friend. The views were just as shown, we enjoyed our mornings on the deck having coffee and breakfast, then at the end of the day, sunset. The pictures were all as shown. Vee, our hostess was a delight. We would love to come back here next time.

We were celebrating a fiftieth birthday and a 10 year anniversary.
Upon arrival, the homes grounds were beautiful. The lanai was awesome with wonderful 180 views of ocean. I as well as my family literally could have spent the entire time there. The home was quaint and homey. The art was great.
As mentioned by many, there were several critters. Coqui frogs and geckos especially. The coqui frogs were crazy and the geckos everywhere but did not bug us. My sister was wary at first, but ended up naming 2 lol.
The on site host, who stays in the downstairs portion of the home, separate entrance, was so nice and sweet. She provided great recommendations.
The owners were very responsive to our questions.
The homes rely on rain water so you need to be cautious of that.
We would all highly recommend this home for families or couples. If you can, try to get any food or necessities in kona as the home is not very close to stores as mentioned many times.
The black pebble beach down the road from house was beautiful and nobody there when we went. Apparently there was a rough surf during time there so we couldn't swim there, but the views, waves and rocks were beautiful.
We want to thank the owners and host for allowing us to stay in your home. It was such a wonderful experience.

The house was nestled on the hillside overlooking a spectacular ocean view. The house is lovely with tropical gardens surrounding the home with songbirds by day and peep frogs at night. There is always a beautiful breeze to keep you comfortable on the huge deck that extends the living space. Great home to relax after a day of exploring. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and great common spaces with a nicely stocked kitchen for meal prep. Thank you Ron and Michele! We loved our time in your beautiful home.

What a pleasant and enjoyable experience to stay in your lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. The views and sounds are stunning. You have a great host to greet your renters. Vee is a gem, treasure her.
