The house is beautiful with excellent ocean views and plenty of space for our large family. Kids really enjoyed the swimming pool.
Downsides are location and no air conditioning. We knew there was no air conditioning going into it, but just know that the first day you are there, all of the windows will be shut and fans will be off (understandable) but this makes it unbearably hot until you open everything and get the breeze going. Once we got the house cooled off, it was fine the first few days, but the last few days there was minimal breeze so it was still too hot. We ended up checking out a day early for 2 reasons: it was way too hot and the house is over an hour from the airport. I thought it was only 20 minutes from Kona since on a map it looks like Captain Cook is 20 minutes from Kona. However, the house is an hour from Kona because it is in Miolii (this is stated in the listing, I just didn't see it). So the downside of the trip was after driving an hour or 2 to go see something for the day, we then had to drive an hour or 2 back. There is no nightlife within walking distance.
Overall, this is an excellent home and I would recommend it if you are ok with driving a lot and no air conditioning. Tammy was very responsive when we had a few issues the first day. If I were to do the trip differently, I would stay 4-5 nights at this house, and the rest of my time in a hotel either in Hilo or Kona within walking distance of activities.

We were a party of 10, 9 of us aged 18-69,one is 10. The road down(and I mean down!) to the house takes some getting used to and is tricky at night with no street lights, but take it slow and you’ll be fine, worth it for the view! We all had plenty of places to sleep, plenty of bathrooms, 2 kitchens, and a pool! Not a good place for all of us to sit together for meals, but we made it work, Tammy was great about answering our questions and solving a few minor issues in a timely manor.
A small downside is groceries and other shopping is not real close, but that’s about it. Great place for a larger group to have a lot of quality time without the hubbub of a resort or city.

This house did not disappoint… beautiful view of the ocean, sunset, and hillside! I was a little worried about not having air conditioning but the breeze and fans throughout the house were all we needed. The pool was a great touch when it got warm during the day. The house has a great selection of dishes, pots & pans, tupperware, and plenty of beach towels.
5 bedroom (2K, 2Q, 1F/1T Bunk, & Extra Futon in living area) were perfect for my group of 8 and the 3 full bathrooms were a huge plus for everyone to get ready at one time!
House is located about 1h from Kona strip (Ali’i Drive) with lots of shops, places to eat, parasailing, and submarine tours. And about 1h 30m from Hawaii Volcano National Park and Punalu’u Black Sand Beach. The drive both ways have stunning views!!
I Highly Recommend this house and would definitely stay here again!

This house is very spacious with a beautiful view. Well appointed and very clean.
The pool had a little too much chlorine.
The house is located quite far from the shopping centres and beaches accessible in winter.

My family really enjoyed staying here. I will say it is a little remote so you should plan before going but once we were there, we really enjoyed it. My family is already planning on going back.

Beautiful home with a private pool and a gorgeous view of the sunset every night. If you want to escape the business of life, this is a great place to stay.
