Perfect house for 2 couples.
Pool was awesome, we wish the pool cleaner hadn’t been in the pool the whole time. But we made it work.
Plenty of space outside. We loved all the outdoor living upstairs and down.
We even had access to the garage for parking!!

This house was perfect for the 7 of us. Kids loved the pool, amazing, changing night lights! Beautiful view of the coast and ocean from main floor and upstairs. Coffee on the lanai every morning was best way to start the day. Convenient to everything north and south. House was exactly as described and as photos represented. We’ll be back!!

Beautiful well appointed property with great pool. Window a/c in bedrooms are old/loud, but due to property elevation/location they weren't needed during the evening hours. The driveway is steep and narrow so best to arrive during daylight hours. Kitchen is well stocked and it is in a very quiet neighborhood. Requests/questions were promptly answered. Thank you. Fabulous view of entire kona area.

This beautiful house is in a stunning location up on the hillside with a panoramic view of Kailua-Kona and the ocean. Its elevation means that temps are several degrees cooler than on the coast and a wonderful breeze cools the house. The property is extremely well equipped, clean and well-maintained. Balconies, the deck and pool make it an ideal place to relax and take in the view. Kona is a short drive down the hill with all its amenities. Communication with the property manager was easy and responsive. Wouldn't hesitate to choose this property again and reccommend it unreservedly.

The house was equipped with everything needed during our stay. Very spacious and roomy. The views are amazing! The only complaint from some family members, we're from those who stayed in bedrooms that did not have an in-wall AC unit. Management was nice, and were quick to resolve the minor issues we had during our stay. Overall, GREAT property. Definitely recommend for big families.

House was as advertised -- AMAZING views, great pool, nice big living room with ample dining and hanging out space. Pool/play room downstairs was nice, too. Only constructive feedback is that the kitchen is not as nicely appointed as it should be (quantity and quality of cooking tools, with pots & pans in short supply and poor condition, too few glasses and barware, 1 cutting board, etc.), and the pillows are flat and hard as rocks. But overall, a great property. We'd rent again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Honu O Kai! What a beautiful view! We were in the area for our daughter’s wedding so we really didn't spend as much time at the house as we'd liked to have, but the time there was always relaxing. It was very nice to take a dip in the pool after a long day of wedding activities. We appreciated the items made available to us during our stay including an ice chest, sand toys and beach chairs to name a few. Next time we're in the area, we'd love to stay at the Honu O Kai again.
