Reviews
The property is amazing. The house is perfect for a family with a few kids, and would work well for three couples as well. Very quiet neighborhood away from busy roads but has an easy walking path down the hill to the hub of Ali'i drive.
We loved staying here! Exactly as described in the listing. The Pool, volleyball court and other amenities were great. Awesome location close to Kailua town. The neighborhood gate to Ali'i drive made it easy to go for a morning walk/run. When we travel to Kona again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
This home was excellent and super comfortable. It was everything it was described to be and more. And when we needed assistance, communication was easy and efficient. We would completely recommend it for anyone.
Nice house. Nice neighborhood. Great location. Great view.
My family stayed here for one week in mid-August and we loved it! The home is exactly as pictured online and the backyard and pool were spectacular. Our 5 year old daughter picking mangos for breakfast and swimming in the pool. The place especially shines at sunrise and sunset. The neighborhood is quiet and an easy 5 minute drive to downtown. We can't wait to stay there again!
Highly reccomend this house. Great house and location in Kona! Pool was a big hit with the kids as well!
Lovely home and yard/pool. The house was in a wonderful neighborhood and had everything we need for a weeks stay. Plenty of room for our family of 6 to hang out. Not a far drive from Kona downtown area.
We were two senior couples. The house was perfect for our stay. Very clean, terrific backyard/pool area. Quiet neighborhood, a two-mile walk/ride to Kona. Property manager was very responsive/helpful. Would definitely stay again.
The home, pool, and grounds were even more beautiful than the pictures! Our family had a fabulous vacation in this amazing home. It’s stocked with everything you need for a wonderful vacation in paradise. We would absolutely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at the house! It was a perfect space to come home to after a day in the sun. Sunsets from the backyard, swimming in your private pool and spreading out (unlike a hotel). The kitchen was stocked with tools, appliances, dishes, pans and pots (even an instant pot!) more than most rentals I’ve stayed at. While we’ve typically spent time up in Waikoloa it was fun to explore Kona and the southern side of the coast. We will come back again.
From breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean to the prime location, this home has all you could ask for. We hope to be able to return.
