Bali is my favorite place in the world and this home brought me right back! It’s so beautiful. The views of the sunsets are so special, we would watch them every night and paddle board during the day. There is a farmers market right across the street that was great for coffee and fresh fruit. The location is 10/10. The bay has manta rays that you can book a tour to see. Truly, the photos don’t do it justice. There are lots of little sandy hang outs and lookouts by the bay. As soon as you arrive, the plants and trees make it look and smell like its own tropical oasis. I spent lots of time walking around and looking at and enjoying them. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need and more. Two of the master suites and the 3rd upstairs room have AC, the rest have more of an open air feel with fans, which we didn’t mind, the weather in Kona made it perfect and you need to be okay with that when booking a Balinese style house, it’s special in that way. The main master suite is huge, with two massive walk in bathrooms for his and hers, and it is adjacent to the kitchen, so we woke up early and went about our day and napped in the AC when we needed a break (which was our daily routine in on the beach in the Big Island anyway). We got married here and It’s was the most beautiful, special moment here. It was dreamy and surreal. I wouldn’t want to celebrate anywhere else. Our group cannot wait to come back. What a lovely retreat.

Our family of 14 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home in Paradise. We were able to snorkel. It is a rocky entrance to the water which we knew in advance. There are many places in the home to gather as a group or retreat as a couple or individual. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub and all the water equipment that was very convenient. We did have to adjust to the tiny ants that are just part of Hawaii and learned to Ziploc bag all of our food, whether it be in the pantry or fridge. The property manager was very attentive when the coffee maker and hot tub weren’t working and promptly took care of the situation.

Property beautifully located, lush, great views, breezes and sunsets. Grounds could use a little sprucing up. Wonderful open and spacious home, well appointed. Perfect for a large gathering of people each needing luxury, space and privacy. Public spaces are grand. Handsome architecture with wood details. Great playground for young ones and old. Your own private resort.
Shortfalls: could use another dishwasher to match double large refrigerators. Lighting needs labels. Pool cleaning while in residence.
Biggest issue and a serious one, presence of vermin raiding kitchen and pantry at night. Ate through packaged goods, potatoes whether in high shelves, in cabinets , drawers and shelves. Needs more rodent mitigation.
Management responsive to requests and needs in general. With a little more attention to some upgrades in bathrooms and landscape trimming one would hardly find fault. There's a wonderful Hawaiian vintage feel modernized with indoor-outdoor living in most all rooms. Breezes and ocean sounds create tranquility day and night.
Our special gathering was made evermore so by the grand "intimacy" the home provides.

The house was beautiful and the location was ideal for us. The kitchen was large and very functional. Unfortunately there was a serious rodent and insect problem. There were rat droppings in the pantry and we had to dispose of food stored in the kitchen that was eaten by rats. Eventually we stored the food in the oven and dishwasher. In addition, we killed more than a dozen cockroaches (big ones). Last of all, there were very small ants all over the kitchen, dining and great rooms. Unfortunately over Christmas all the hotels were fully occupied so we had to suck it up, stay at the place and fight the little critters. Last of all, on the last day we had to chase a mongoose out of the kitchen. Other than that the place was a dream.

We feel fortunate to have enjoyed this beautiful Hawaiian home for a family gathering during Thanksgiving. Sean was a welcoming and mellow host who was prompt in answering questions. This gorgeous property allowed us to be all together in one space or find a secluded spot for quieter moments. The ability to access the ocean directly and the availability of paddle boards and kayaks was a great bonus.

Communication ahead of the trip was very good-Sydette answered all my questions and was helpful.
Check in was smooth; met by manager, given a tour, assured a recent broken screen would be repaired ASAP (it was fixed early the next day)
Overall aspects of this house are A+
Potential of this property is amazing!
We loved this property and wanted to give a 5 star review, but had frustration with many small (and a couple larger) issues resulting in our 4 Star review.
Attention to detail is lacking-some examples:
-extremely dirty BBQ grills
-pool needed maintenance: lighting, skimmer, jets, etc
-lighting throughout property missing or broken, inside and out
- 2 food processors: neither with working parts
- toilet in "her" master wouldn't flush upon arrival
Layout of the home is spacious and large group friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and bedding was excellent.
Kitchen was well stocked, clean with lots of extras in the pantry, i.e., plastic wrap, serving pieces, misc "party supplies," spices and food basics. Walk in fridge was superb, especially for our group needs.
Above issues aside, this property was fantastic, accommodated our family and met the needs of our group and I would stay again provided necessary maintenance issues are addressed.

We are a global company and I am continually looking for VRBO homes to rent that will accommodate our needs for long hour meetings while offering a comfortable relaxing environment. This house not only met all of our needs but exceeded them. The home not only offered many outdoor activities but was also located close to the Golf Club, water tours and restaurant within waling distance at the neighboring resort. The hardest part for us was packing up and saying goodbye to the home and view. Excellent communication with the property manager. Highly recommend this home!

This house photographs well; the photos do not do it justice, it is much larger, more well appointed and beautiful than the photos can show. The pool area and all of the ocean side landscaping is stunning. The owner provides padel boards, kayaks, snorkels, floats, etc., etc. This is a family run operation, John the owner, his partner, and his son Sean are 100% responsive and charming. I cannot this house more highly.

A wonderful home for a family vacation. The property is stunning, serene, and truly a little slice of paradise. There is an attention to detail with the craftsmanship of the home and various activities offered for guests. In addition to seeing sights on the island, we found ourselves spending a lot of time enjoying the house. Older guests might find it a bit tricky to get into the ocean at this spot (there is a ladder that’s very helpful), but if you’re able it is well worth it – the snorkeling was fantastic! The home easily accommodated our group of 13 with ample space to stretch out. Thank you for an amazing stay!
