Kona Blue was the perfect location for our party of 8, gathering from across the country to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. We had specific needs for a home given the size of our group & Mom’s mobility needs & Kona Blue fit the bill. There were plenty of spaces for us to spread out & not be on top of each other & the downstairs suite was perfect for Mom. When she became ill, she was able to isolate but still enjoy the ocean view as well as easy access to the lanai & talk with us through the screens. Communication with the rental company was wonderful & they were very responsive to my questions & requests before & during our stay. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars for the listing is because I felt the description was a little confusing in terms of how many rooms & the layout - there are 3 rooms over the garage with a bathroom & living room, the downstairs suite, a half bath downstairs & an amazingly large master suite upstairs. Definitely recommend Kona Blue, especially if you have a large group.

We had a group of 11 (6 adults, 5 children) at Kona Blue for 6 days/nights. It was a summer family vacation for 3 generations. Bedrooms were very adequate, glad they had AC. The pool was a big hit with the kids and the size of the very well equipped kitchen was a hit with the adults. We really appreciated the labels in locating kitchen items, the surplus of beach towels, the ceiling fans, the size of the dining tables, and all the supplies that lasted us all 6 days (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, shampoo, bar soap, hand soap, towels, spices, plastic wrap left behind, etc.) Lack of AC in the public areas was evident in the summer temps. and high humidity. We recommend some drying racks for wet suits and towels and more towel bars/rings in the bathrooms. Also, maintenance should come through more often to check for minor repairs...sticky door/screens, toilets running longer than they should, etc. We had a wonderful time at Kona Blue!

The location was perfect! To be on the lanai and see the ocean every day was a dream! The pool was loved by the grand children! Proximity to everything a family of 12 wanted to do was great. The house was well equipped with all we needed and more. The only disappointment was the sliding screen doors were so stiff they were hard to manage, and with 12 we used them all day. We thought the lower bedroom air conditioner smelled musty.

This property was perfect!
Enough room for everyone.
Close to snorkeling and restaurants, yet super private.
The pool and lanai were the highlight!

The house is situated in a beautiful, quiet, gated community within the busy town of Kona. The house over looks the ocean where you can view whales and dolphins during the day and see beautiful sunsets in the evening. The property was clean and overall, well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. For families traveling with children, the house was equipped with bedding, toys, beach equipment. Some minor repairs are needed due to normal wear and tear. The bedroom situation could be enhanced if there was a pull out couch in the upstairs family room. The additional day bed and pull out couch in master bedroom did provide additional sleeping areas but also took away from privacy if desired. The shared bathroom upstairs was somewhat small for the 3 bedrooms which it supported so the master bathroom in the upstairs master bedroom (which was absolutely beautiful and very large) was often used for overflow . I would definitely recommend this house for those wishing to stay within the Kona area.

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Blue and loved the ability to walk to downtown Kailua-Kona. We saw whales daily from the comfort of the back patio. Hope to return again!
