This was truly a gorgeous property, with a lovely balcony sitting directly over a beautiful shoreline. The house was clean and well stocked. Highly recommend.
We had such a great time in this wonderful oceanfront home. We spent a lot of time on the deck that had the most amazing views, eating all our meals there. We appreciated that it was so close to a great snorkeling beach. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed and the host was helpful. Highly recommend!
it was a beautiful house and had just about anything you would want to use but it was super hot when we checked in so it would've been nice if someone had turned the air-conditioning on an hour before check in time, the hot tub leaked also it could've been a little cleaner but all in all it was a nice stay.
Had a great week fantastic views easy walk to a great snorkeling beach. Everything we need was provided by the host. Just a great time
Beautiful home and beautiful views! The "backyard" was full of yellow tangs, the resident turtle, and spinner Dolphins almost every morning. Snorkeling out back was challenging with a hurricane in the Pacific (waves were very kicked up, the surfers loved it), but we did get out the last few days and it was amazing. The location is a very short 3 min walk to one of the best snorkeling spots on the island and central to everything without being in the middle of chaos. Episode 31 eruption was a lucky event to catch! The home was well appointed with everything we needed. Beds were comfy after a long day in the sun. No issues with bugs at all, but we were very careful. Hot tubs are not usually our thing, but by the end we couldn't wait to finish the day there. The property manager was incredibly responsive and helpful. Really no complaints at all renting this home. We had a fabulous 2 weeks and would love to book again!
Lovely property with mesmerizing ocean views. Fully equipped kitchen, spacious master suite. Great beach equipment including towels! Location to the best snorkel beach first rate. Comfortable beds. Prompt responses to questions.
Great location and great deck.Wonderful sunsets and fit my family well!
This location was the perfect place for our group of 6 to enjoy our first time on the big island. The pictures do not do this place justice. Excellent location! The ocean is spectacular and you can easily walk to a beach with lifeguard or explore the rocks below. The house was an easy drive to our booked activities in Kona.The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to prepare meals at the house easily. The washer and dryer were also helpful.We did drive to Hilo side a few times to watch Kīlauea and having a real cooler to use was very appreciated. There were other beach items to borrow as well, such as chairs, noodles, water shoes, snorkel goggles and fins.The hot tub was enjoyed and a great place to relax after hiking in Volcano NP.One of the first things we saw when we arrived was a sea turtle to greet us, right behind the house!Book this home for your visit. It made our trip very special!

Lovely home with great layout and beautiful floors. I personally appreciated the beach and snorkeling gear. Loved having coffee on the lanai. The hot tub was big enough for four adults. Grateful for plastic cups for the hot tub. Proximity to great snorkeling at nearby Kahalu’u Beach Park. Thank you for having us.
Beautiful home. Lots of space to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. Lots of beach supplies.
We had a wonderful stay in a splendid house with a breathtaking view (what a terrace!).Everything was just perfect: location, comfort (especially the beds), impeccable cleanliness, smart room layout, parking and proximity to supermarkets, beaches and restaurants. Supplies, accessories and basic necessities were there and in sufficient supply.The only minor criticisms: waking up at the crack of dawn due to the absence of effective shutters or curtains in the bedrooms...so that by 5.45 a.m., it was no longer possible to sleep. Perhaps an alarm system should be installed to reassure those who want it and modern showers.We'll be back if we can, for sure !
We love this house! This is the second time we've stayed here! It has everything we need and the communication is top notch. Also the marine life swimming by each day is so amazing to see! :)
We were 2 families staying together (4 adults and 3 kids) and the place was perfect for our group. There was plenty of space for everyone for sleeping and relaxing. The location is perfect. South of the busiest section of Kona (but close) and close to a grocery store. Also you are in between, and within walking distance to 2 of the best beaches in the area. Last callout is the deck...it is an unbelievable view and space. In March we had a perfect sunset view every night. The place is everything you want in a vacation home on the big island.

Our stay at Koa Hale was incredible. The views are spectacular! The location is perfect between 2 fun beaches. The house and amenities are above and beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for an amazing experience for our family! We'll be back!
Beautiful views and perfect location. Our kids enjoyed searching the coves for fish and sea shells. Walking distance to a great beach for snorkeling and surfing. Drive to town for food and drinks is convenient. WiFi was a little spotty but once we reset the router it improved.
This is an awesome house with an amazing view and at a great location. We spotted whales close by from the lanai twice! It’s well equipped and has comfortable beds. AC units work well and are quiet. We loved it and will definitely be back!
We loved every minute while at this beautiful paradise. The lanai was the show stopper and our absolute favorite. The surf was pretty rough during our stay but it made for a spectacular site during high tide. It never got old sitting and watching it.
Home was in a great location with a lovely outside area and hot tub. The view and the sound of the waves were amazing. There were beaches in both directions and a shopping plaza close by - all within a 20 minute walk. House was very comfortable and well stocked and instructions/directions were clear. A wonderful vacation for a family of five.
Plenty of room for 6 adults, the sound of the ocean to fall asleep to was wonderful. Watching the crabs on the lava rocks and the little red headed birds. Would love to come back again, very comfortable home.
Thank you
Great property our second stay there. Would definitely stay again if we visit the Big Island.
You can not find a property any closer to the ocean than this! Watch the Yellow Tangs up against the lava rocks every morning and if you’re lucky you also see spinning dolphins (we saw them twice around 7:15 am, as well as 2 years ago).
I love to snorkel and you can walk 10 mins to Kahalu’u for the biggest variety of fish you will see anywhere on the island (2 steps is a 30 min drive, which I recommend, but not as varied).
The house is well taken care of and cleaned impeccably. You will find everything you need, even plenty of laundry detergent, paper towels, napkins (we bring/buy bath soap vs. the mini’s provided). Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkel gear, boogie board, your vacation is set!
Start you day with coffee in the jacuzzi and enjoy that ocean view!
Beautiful home on the cliffs. Spent hours on the lanai enjoying the views and sunsets.
It is pricey, but worth the splurge. Be aware that the original cost posted of $499.00/night balloons up to $800.00/night with all the fees, taxes and air conditioning. Still worth every penny
Our group of 7 really enjoyed our stay here - did a lot of cooking, gathered around both the dining room table and on the lanai. Highlights: the view, location, large master bathroom, parking for two cars, sunsets…Minor needs: updated frying pans, new water filter on fridge, parking two cars inside can be a bit tricky - however, overall this house was a highlight of our trip. Note: the front door SLIDES open (don’t push it
We stayed at the property for 4 days and it was wonderful, from the location to all the memories we made. We were able to see a turtle and lots of fish right from the balcony. We definitely made some wonderful memories here and will be back soon.
We were lucky to stay in this lovely, well-cared-for house! It is spotless, the bedrooms and mattresses are comfortable, well equipped, and has stunning views. I hope we can come back and stay again. Thank you for an exceptional stay!
Great house. Assume views. Well supplied with house needs. Recommend to All.
Awesome place. Very well kept and the location is great. We enjoyed all 10 days very much.
This home was large, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the waterfront. The many bathrooms were helpful for having a larger party, and the kitchen was also pleasantly well-equipped with pots, pans, and other cooking utensils. Would recommend for groups!
Check in was simple as well!
Been to Kona many times but this was the first staying at a VRBO. This property was everything it advertised and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating. Visited with friends for my 50th birthday and had an amazing time. The property was perfect for 6 adults and I would reserve it again in a heartbeat.
