We came to celebrate my 50th birthday in style & stayed for 10 nights. Overall the house is very nice, with beautiful surrounding gardens and views that go on forever. Sitting on the porch with either coffee or cocktail were exceptional. Michele & Ron were quick to communicate as well. Some minor things we felt could have been better but in no way diminished the trip (Just suggestions). 1. Visitors should understand the beach is quite a ways down the VERY steep hill side. 2. Consideration of length of stay should be given to having enough trash bags for guests. The 2 or 3 trash bags we had were not enough for 4 adults staying for 10 nights. This also applied to toilet paper. Told to buy more after the initial rolls ran out was frustrating because it turns out there were new packages already in the house. 3. With the trash bag issue also came the inconvenience of needing to bring your trash to the disposal center which was only open 3 specific days during specific hours. Although this itself did not bother us, having no outside garbage can to keep trash in until we could bring it there was problematic because of critters gaining access to it. 4. Having a screen door on the front door would be fantastic! The cross breeze that entered every time we opened it was awesome however we did not leave it open because we did not want extra "guests" in someone else's home. Overall, the house is comfortable and a great place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful Kona Paradise in Hawaii. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and at home. The house itself was cozy and well-designed, offering the perfect space to relax. The kitchen was a standout—extremely well-equipped with everything I needed to cook and feel right at home. The yard was a tropical paradise, filled with a beautiful array of plants, which really added to the overall charm of the place. We especially loved how serene it was, and at night, the sounds of the birds singing created a peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a slice of paradise! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway.

Stunning property. Not our first time to the islands and the grounds were just what we love. Beautiful sunsets. Older home and decor, but very clean and has everything you may need for your stay.

The interior of the property is infested with geckos due to a complete lack of maintenance. The walls, the moldings, the ceiling beams, the furniture and floors, even the towels, are covered with excrement. So dire was the situation that when watching television or eating at the table the geckos were dropping their excrement on us. Read the review dated December 10, 2024 from another guest; the property was just as bad at that time and the owners did nothing to improve it before our arrival. According to the owner this is “normal” in a natural environment which their neighbors say is untrue. There are many other issues: the refrigerator leaks water, the oven and the interiors of the kitchen cabinets are filthy, the washer and dryer are rusted as both are located outside under the building….the list goes on and on. The pictures do not reflect the reality at all. The situation was terrible, not livable, so we had to leave after 4 nights (with the owner’s approval) of our 17 night stay. We had to move from hotel to hotel and the owners refused to let us keep our food in the refrigerator until we located a more permanent rental. Though we eventually were able to negotiate a partial credit for our stay, this credit represented only a minor portion of our total costs incurred. In addition, this experience ruined our vacation. Stay away from this property!

The coastal views are spectacular from the elevated lanai and the tropical gardens gorgeous. Home has most everything necessary for a great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in Captain Cook. The gardens and views from the deck were absolutely amazing. Felt right at home. Loved hearing the birds chirping and walking thru your gardens. Communication with owner was very good. Beds were comfortable and home had all the supplies we needed. Our family hiked the pebble beach trail nearby and the views were just amazing. Important to drive down though to pebble beach and not attempt to walk as the hike back up the hill is challenging. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and artwork with our family!

Great house! Excellent ocean view in a secluded area of South Kona. House is old but clean. Has everything we need for our family to cook, relax, snorkel. Very steep slope to walk back to the house from the beach below so make sure you drive.Host is amazing and always checking in to make sure we have everything we need.Location is a bit remote, grocery store is 20 minutes by car.But in general we enjoy our stay.

The host is great with communication and stays proactive to resolve our issues. The house is very pretty and has great view. There are many great beaches nearby.

Owners were incredibly responsive and helpful. Good directions to find property and lots of signs in house with instructions. Nice house, as described. Wonderful views from deck, though have your bug spray handy. Research the location as it is a drive to anywhere and if comfortable with that it is a good place to be. Local beach (black lava shingle - shoes required) is close but drive to it unless you are into hill climbing. An abundance of geckos around property; fun but occasionally messy. No BBQ. Trash/recycling a couple of miles away and easy to navigate.

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.
