Really nice home! Very responsive host, had everything we needed!
We had a wonderful time and Nick and Nicole were truly above and beyond hosts, making our stay just perfect! The property is just as described, although note that it is right by the main road so you will hear/see traffic. If you are looking for an amazing location with a gorgeous view of the ocean and above and beyond hospitality for a fraction of the cost of other rentals in the area this is your spot! We loved the separate AC in the rooms and having 2 full bathrooms so everyone could get a shower and some privacy when they wanted to. The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed, and we made great use of the beach umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc. for the quick trip to Hapuna and other nearby beaches. Comfy beds and blackout curtains made for a great night’s sleep. Nick and Nicole were immediately responsive when we had a question — even after checkout, which is almost unheard of! We accidentally left some medication in the fridge after checkout didn’t realize until the next day. Nick brought it to us near our next location and even gave us a cooler bag and cold packs to keep. Such kind and lovely hosts, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend.
Over abundance of Aloha. Very nice, comfortable and pleasant.
The property was near some of the best beaches in the island. The owners were super attentive. Nick and Nicole sent us a fresh loaf of raisin bread, which we enjoyed with a fresh a cup of coffee every morning,which was also provided.
The house had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked. The house was pretty clean. The owners even had a folder with recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the island.
Nick and Nicole were very responsive to our inquiries. We' ve stayed at various short-term rentals, but none of them have made us feel so welcomed and at home like Nick and Nicole.
Thank you Nick and Nicole for your hospitality.
This place was the perfect home base for an amazing, adventure-filled vacation on Kona. We travelled to Kona with our 3 kids (ages 7, 10, 12), and location was perfect for beach days to Hapuna and Spencer beaches a stone's throw away. One day I even jogged from the house to the beach for some exercise. Lots of great food in Waimea when we wanted to eat out, and well stocked kitchen when we wanted to eat in. The grill was great for grilling kebabs one night, and hamburgers another. Overall the place was very clean, and very well stocked with about anything you could need. The hosts were amazing. Super responsive and helpful. They made us feel so welcome, with toys and boogie boards set out for the kids, and some delicious warm fresh baked bread when we arrived. Highly recommend!
The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and make sure you can reach them if any questions or needs. Very comfortable, great area and has it all! We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay on the Kohala Coast—-a stones throw from all the beautiful beaches, yet also close to our friends in Waimea. This was a very clean VRBO with a nice BBQ and outdoor area. It was a beautiful home away from home! Loved our time here. Hosts were great! ….till next time….
The house was well-stocked, and the location is beautiful, but what I really need to rave about is the hosts. Nick and Nicole truly care about their guests and made us feel so welcome! Arriving in the evening of the 18th from the midwest (a long trip with two children), we were pleased to find the homemade bread that other reviewers mentioned. Along with butter and jam and a full bag of coffee, it ensured that we'd have something to fortify us in the morning even though we hadn't yet had a chance to get groceries. In addition, there was an adorable stuffed turtle to greet our kids, which delighted them! For Christmas, my husband bought a nice beef tenderloin at the Waimea Butcher Shop; we couldn't find a meat thermometer. A quick text to Nick, and we returned from church on the morning of 12/25 to find one at the door! The hosts also provided numerous recommendations prior to our stay and offered us a late checkout since our flight wasn't until the evening. Their guest comment form specifically asked for maintenance needs we noticed and suggestions for improvement. Nick and Nicole truly care about providing a great experience!
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the backyard is gorgeous. There were plenty of beach toys, an umbrella, boogie board, and coolers for the beach. Also, there are oodles of towels - and places to hang them. The location is ideal to explore Kohala beaches and take day trips to Volcanoes NP and the Hamakua Coast.
Truly a FIVE STAR VRBO!
This place is super ship shape, efficient with space and has everything you need. It also is minutes from some of the best beaches and just up the hill is Waimea. The hosts were more than attentive, checking in with us from time to time. They made us fresh baked bread when we arrived, which we majorly needed as our flight was delayed and we were so hungry. My little one also got a sea urchin sting and Nicole delivered a basket of toys to the door!! Nicholas and Nicole are a lovely couple and really care about their guests. Definitely will be coming back.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I came here for a conference and this place had everything I needed to ensure a nice, relaxing and comfortable stay. The hosts were readily available. They even made me feel even more welcome by gifting me fresh bread. Their generosity is unmatched. The location is very quiet and the neighbors are respectful. A true oasis.
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful and charming beach home! There was plenty of room for our family of four and there was even a bonus bathroom which was perfect for the kids! The house is completely updated and everything felt new. The massage chair is seriously amazing and we would probably come back just for that, but our stay was so perfect, we will definitely return! The hosts are so welcoming and treated us like family. We loved all of the touches like fun lights in the backyard and gear for the beach. The best beaches on the island are so close and we had some amazing meals at the nearby resorts. Staying at this beautiful home with the ability to cook our own food, while taking advantage of the nearby beaches and resorts was the best of both worlds for us!! Thank you for an amazing Hawaiian family vacation!
This beautiful home gave me and my kids the peace and quiet we needed. I liked that it was outside of Kona. Yet it was only 3 minutes away from Spencer Beach Park. I've been to Kona three times Spencer Beach Park is one of my favorites cuz it's really easy for the kids to swim there.
This is my first time staying at this home and I hope it's available next time I'm on the Big Island!
This home has all the amenities you need. Plenty of space for us and we are a family of five.
There was a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine waiting for us which I think was very kind of the owners to do.
My family of four just spent four weeks here and it was perfect! While 40-minutes away from the busy Kailua-Kona area, this part of the island has the best sandy beaches and off-the-radar easy snorkeling spots. Dining options were limited in the immediate vicinity, but the quality was surprisingly good. In any case, Waimea is only a 15-minute drive away, which offers plenty of restaurantes, shops and even a wonderful playground that my 8-year-old considered a highlight of the trip. The house was beautiful, clean and well equiped. It had all the amenities I had expected and some more. The best part, however, was the hospitality from the wonderful hosts. They were warm, accomodating and responsive. We felt valued and at home. :)
