Great: Fantastic location across from the snorkel beach and easy access to magic sands and downtown Kona.Beautiful views from the lanai and plenty of seating on both balconies and in living rooms. The house layout was perfect for our family of ten with king beds in the four bedrooms, two pull out couches downstairs and one pull out couch upstairs. The downstairs neighbor (and whomever came to feed the cats downstairs) was very kind and shared knowledge of beaches and places to go around the island. Average: There were exactly 10 ten bath towels and exactly 10 beach towels. It was enough since we had 10 people, but don’t expect to have extra if you need to clean something up or use a hair towel (ladies). Same for bedding. As others mentioned, the lack of AC was expected. There was one fan per room so we did shuffling around the house when we were in common spaces and before bed. It worked out, but more would have been better. Overall it was clean, not excellent, but clean. Needs work:The host doesn’t check the vrbo message center. It would be hours or days before a response and it would come in a private text message with reminder to text privately. I ended up just adding the texts to the message center for vrbo records. Overall a great, economical option for a large family. We had a wonderful week in a gorgeous place.
Loved the location, across from great snorkeling. I think I expected the home to be a bit nicer, considering the price. The two floors are identical, which feels a little less nice?
Everything was excellent but I wish there was A/C. Plenty of fans though!
This rental unit could not have been more perfect for our group. It was roomy enough to fit our group of 9 and not feel cramped at all. Very well appointed as we prepared most of our meals at the house. The views from the lanai's are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The snorkeling across the street at Kahalu'u Beach Park was the best of all the places we swam. The house is conveniently located with easy access to several markets and grocery stores.The owners were wonderful to work with. We had a Tsunami warning while there and Cheryl was on top of it. She helped us with where to go and what to do and how to be safe when it hit. Very Very grateful for the communications during the crisis and for the whole stay in general.We had a wonderful trip, would rent this unit again and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. This experience is the epitome of what a VRBO rental should be. Can't say enough great things about our experience here.
Loved it just didn’t know there was no air conditioning
This property is just as described in the listing. It is clean, private and has all the necessary items you need for cooking meals and enjoying your time on Hawaii. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cherry on top is Kahalu’u beach which is directly in front of the house. Morning snorkeling was the best! We will definitely return!
This was a great location! Right across from a great snorkel spot. The unit had some gear to borrow but we ended up renting some better gear. The view from the top balcony was amazing, beautiful views of the water, the morning rainbows and loads of birds in the area. Parking was sufficient, the driveways are all tight here but our large car had no issues. Great host! She was super communicative and nice :)
You stay here because of the location. Being a short walk away from some excellent snorkeling and beautiful views are the standouts of this Vrbo. It is also a short drive to downtown Kona and to a nearby shopping area with a grocery store. The accommodation itself is dated and would be surprised if it was ever updated and there are aspects of the house the need a refresh especially considering the price point of the home. Furthermore given the 400 cleaning fee I would expect the home to be spotless upon arrival but it was not. If you are looking for a pleasant and simple place near a prime snorkeling spot this is your place. But its cost point and lackluster accommodation quality would have me looking at other options in the future.
House was in excellent repair. Everthing was clean and working properly. Host communication was quick and welcoming. Thanks for letting us use your home, we had a great visit!
It would be impossible to find a better location. Snorkeling beach is directly across the street. Easy drive to town, the airport, and other interesting places. And a nice home with king sized beds and 4 bathrooms! Everything you need!
We had everything we needed, plenty of snorkeling gear, right next to the beach, my kids & Grandkids loved it! House was stocked with everything we needed!
The location was absolutely amazing. Views of the ocean, across the street from the beach, a short drive to downtown. Everything about this stay was absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to come back!!!!
Overall very happy with with everything. Amazing views from both lanais especially 3rd floor. Lots of whale activity this year, so exciting. Excellent communication with property owner/manager. We would stay here again. Mahalo
