We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was perfect, just a quick drive into town for restaurants, shopping, and anything else we needed. It still felt peaceful and private, with beautiful views all around.The home was super clean and really well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, which made things easy and enjoyable. The layout is a bit unique, and getting to the backyard and pool means walking through a bedroom or going around the outside of the house, but it wasn’t a big deal for our family.The pool is a little older, but it was still a great feature and the kids absolutely loved it. They spent hours swimming and playing.Overall, the house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking forward to coming back!

Perfect paradise vacation home

As you walk in, the view is breathtaking..The house was perfect. You can be sitting on the couch or lounging by the pool and always have a beautiful panoramic view. This house also was probably one of the cleanest homes I have ever vacationed in. Plenty of privacy, almost feels like your own oasis in paradise.

November Escape

We really enjoyed our stay, communication with property management was excellent. Although the age of the home showed in some areas it was pretty well-cleaned and no critters! Kitchen is really well appointed. The views were stunning and the pool offered a great space to hangout after the beach to watch the sunsets.

Paradise

We loved the property as it was easy to find and lovely location. Views and sunsets were amazing and made us feel humbled to be in this location. Even when it rained we were able to sit on the upper deck and take in the sights and sounds. Lots of birds singing at night and we would laugh at the clapping palm tree. We will be back.

Spring Break on Kona

We arrived an hour early and cleaners were still there so went to Safeway for groceries. The access code is timed precisely, it did not work at 3 pm, was fine at 4 pm.Beds were good, kitchen well equipped with good selection of appliances, dishes and utensils. We were happy to use coolers, freezer packs, and beach chairs in garage.Ceiling fans were adequate and did not need AC, although they also had numerous fans and a dehumidifier so maybe more of an issue in summer.Roku TV in living room was available.Easy access to marina, shopping and roads.We would rent this property again.

First Island of Three

This was a wonderful place for our extended family of 8. (Nine day stay) The two 5 year olds made good use of the pool daily (if not twice daily) and the adults enjoyed it as well. The kitchen is large and well appointed and great for cooking family meals.( I would recommend the owners provide a few plastic cups/glasses for small hands. Also surprised there was no teakettle or electric teakettle for heating water.) The bonus room was great for the girls arts and crafts as well as the fold our sofa for sleeping. Location was good for getting to most places on the island. It was quite hot while we were there. The many fans made it comfortable during the day but nights were pretty muggy until the early morning. Oh and if your there in late June check the Mango tree in the front yard. Delicious mangos straight off the tree.

Spacious house for a family.

8 family members stayed at the property and we all really enjoyed it. Some reviews stated that the layout was odd but we didn’t get that feeling. Each room has a bathroom (one room has only an outdoor shower and an indoor tub) so we really liked that feature. One thing we noticed was that the QR code (on the door) and departure email I was sent differed in requirements when leaving the property. I didn’t notice the QR code until we were loading the car so we were unable to strip the beds as it said in the QR code. The email for departure didn’t mention it. So, making sure both the QR code and email match would help guests in the future. We had a really good time at this house. We’d stay again.

Perfect home for a perfect vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view on the back patio provided for the most perfect evenings watching the sunset; and/or viewing it from the swimming pool. The management company was incredibly helpful and professional. We enjoyed our stay in this large home that was well located, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The mango tree out front provided an added yet another bonus to our perfect vacation.
