This place is absolutely amazing!! What a view! We could have spent our entire time there just out on the lanai looking out at the waves.

From the minute we walked into this beautiful home, I knew it was going to be a magical plane My two daughters joined my husband and I and the house was perfect for us 4. From waking up with the sun sipping coffee on the lanai, to falling asleep to the crashing waves… our stay was perfect. Tuttle Rock is a private oasis offering peace and tranquility!

We had a very lovely experience at this beautiful home away from home. It was perfectly clean, had a well equipped kitchen, we loved the pool, the secure gates and doors, and it was very conveniently located. We’re planning a return trip to the island and hope to stay here again.

Perfect house for our family of 4. Layout was perfect and our teen daughters loved the pool. Location was key since you can access the water and a fantastic surf break right from the house! Central location but you have to drive everywhere, possible to walk to Magics beach and shopping center but road is busy. Absolutely loved Turtle Rock, we’ll be back!!

What a beautiful location. We spent most mornings watching the sun rise over the southern hill and then watch the surfers. The cottages were perfect for two couples. The home was stocked with everything you could need and then some. The pool was relaxing and clean and you had a view of the surfers and spinner dolphins from the lania. We have stayed on Kona many times at many different places. This is one we would highly recommend to anyone. Almost forgot to mention that stunning sunsets. All interactions with host/property manager were outstanding. Thank you for helping to make my 55th birthday a memorable one.

This is our third time renting the property at Turtle Rock. It is just exquisite. The property literally dangles over the ocean. It is immaculate with every amenity. The waves lull you to sleep and the table on the lanai calls for morning coffee. Unlike many other rentals, this unit is FULLY stocked with all the paper goods you will need - kitchen goods, bathroom supplies and more. The staff at Knutson Real Estate was professional and easy to work with. I could not recommend the unit and the company more!

This place has amazing views and easy access to everywhere we needed to go. It was very close to the street so exiting the driveway during traffic times was a little stressful but not too terribly hard. We visited in November and the weather was perfect. Warm in the day and cool enough at night to sleep comfortably. All the windows really helped keep the place cool. From the listing it was impossible to tell what the pool would be like but it was great. It went from about 3ft deep on the street side to about 5.5ft deep on the ocean side. There was plenty of room for me to do some laps even with 4 of us in there. Wasn’t heated but didn’t need to be. I think the only downside to our whole stay was the 7 cameras. 3 faced directly at the pool, 2 faced mostly away but probably also caught the pool and only 2 did not face toward the pool at all. We very much like our privacy so this was extremely off putting. I understand that people can walk right by the house and that could be a safety issue but we felt that exterior cameras would have been sufficient. We never felt like safety was a risk at this location. Even being right by the street it felt secluded with the high walls and gates. The check in walk through was very quick. I was worried it would take a lot of our time but it did not. I’d give this place a 10 out of 10 if not for the cameras.

Our stay at Turtle Rock was nothing short of magical! Favorite moments-the astonishingly starry sky easily viewed from the pool deck and all the restful nights we enjoyed listening to the waves crash into the rocks as we slept, take me back! The location was perfect. We made this home our base as we set out on day trips exploring the whole island during our week long stay. Our adventures included Papakolea Green Sand Beach, Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Manini’owali Beach, Makalewena Beach, Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea, Pu’ukohola Heiau Historical site, Pololu Valley, Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, a guided hiking tour with Hawaii Forest and Trail and a night manta ray snorkel with Anelakai Adventures. Our favorite meals included crepes at Peaberry & Galatte, dinner at Merriman’s (close to Waimea), and lunch and açaí bowls at Aloha Mix Food Truck in Naalehu. We loved the beauty of the island, and the comfort and luxury of Turtle Rock made this vacation a trip of a lifetime.

This was a perfect stay. The hosts were professional, accommodating and helpful. The home itself was in the best location I’ve ever seen- I could surf my heart out and when I’d lost feeling in my arms, I could watch the surf from my lanai or even while chilling in the pool. Splendid home, splendid stay.

This was our second stay at Turtle Rock — and we can’t wait to return a third time. From the moment you pull into the private drive and hear the sound of waves, you know you have arrived at a special place. Upon entering the main house, the view explodes before you — open seas and waves crashing on black rocks — the scenery of surfers and black sand beaches tucked around tide pools to the south. The main house is graciously appointed with modern amenities in the kitchen and primary suite. Perfect size home for small groups with ample room to stretch-out in the open floorplan. Guesthouse is ideal for a second couple or two kids. And the blue-tiled pool, outdoor shower and inviting decks and patios invite socializing or just quiet contemplation. We love this Kona hideaway. Can’t wait to return to Paradise Found!
