It is located just minutes from dining, bars and shopping. The backyard is absolutely perfect and we enjoyed so much time on the lanai during our stay! The only thing we didn’t love was that it’s located on a major thoroughfare so backing out of the driveway to leave was challenging because it’s hard to see due to the angle of the driveway. Regardless we would definitely stay here again, it was the perfect place for our Hawaiian vacation! ##### Dana D.

Sunsets were amazing too loved that we were close to town able to walk to town and we could bbq own food and hang out in the outdoor space! It definately needs some updating the furniture is very well worn…..it needs a little love & is due for a good cleaning which u get charged for a cleaning fee a large fee but hasn’t been deep cleaned in a while! Was a little difficult with booking and communication as it’s a 3rd party rental through a company only partially through the vrbo ! The fees are extreme for what it is because of the 3rd party booking but was a splurge for us as we wanted a house on the beach and it definately is that! Would stay again if the booking fees weren’t so much! Made good memories & enjoyed our time there with family! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d33c148-a39e-4498-8ef8-9718d3e7bfee-1748870340791.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bdd89d25-cfcc-44f1-9699-ca1e7eb05662-1748870341181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ee65df6-7682-4cc5-9fc1-9cfe94222379-1748870342332.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Judy K.

It was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. The property had everything we needed during our stay. The management was great at communicating with us; each process to get house keys. We loved watching the ocean waves, the sunset, the sunrise, the boats and being so close to the ocean. The bedrooms stay cool at night with the window air conditioners and the beds were really comfortable. We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay there again if we return to Big Island. ##### Amy S.

Thank goodness for the air conditioning it was much needed. The wooden chair on the porch was cracked on a piece and when I sat on it without noticing, the ring broke and pinched my leg. The stove had one burner not working. The sliding doors were difficult to slide without using both hands. But overall the place was pleasant and welcoming. We all (4 of us) had a great experience.

Breakfast on the deck and cocktails toasting the setting sun were both very special. We even viewed whales breeching a few hundred yards offshore one morning. Located next to Honl's Beach, it was a short and easy stroll into town, yet close enough to golf courses, snorkeling tours and the amazing Volcanoes National Park. Our next visit to the Hawaiian Islands will once again require being steps from the sea. ##### Donn L.

AC Units in Bedrooms were a life saver, living room never cooled off even with fans and windows open, Unit would be greatly improved with AC in living room, guests had to stay in bedrooms to remain comfortable, or outside where it was cooler in shade then in living room. ##### David S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy C. 8 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful central beach location Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful time staying at this beach house. There is a large parking space, & a great patio with table & chairs for enjoying meals while watching the the ocean. Plenty of room in the house, & it is a nice quiet neighbourhood. They provided beach towels, & there is an outside shower. Be aware, there are only 3 beds. 2 kings & a queen. Photo on rental page showed 4 beds, 2 queens & 2 singles. This rental company has wonderful concierge staff, that helped us pre-book all our activities online before we arrived in Hawaii. Only item I might suggest is they replace some appliances that are showing a bit age & use. But I will definitely recommend this home for families & group of friends to stay. We had a great time here. ##### Wendy C. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph T. 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful ocean view The house was pretty cool. The beach was excellent and the sunsets from the property were amazing. The walk is doable to downtown but recommend driving if it’s too hot. Having air conditioning was a God send, while it didn’t cool the house completely it was still a relief. The hot tub is very dated and weathered. We opened it up to look in it but did not sit in it. The umbrella at the paved sitting area isn’t very useful as it is very small. There is a note on the description about there being ring cameras at the property and they are located on the lanai looking over the dining table and down the corridor looking directly at the outdoor shower. Kind of hard to let loose and relax with cameras pointed right at you. We didn’t have anything to hide so I guess no big deal. I did reach out via email to see about checking out at noon instead of 10 due to our flight time and never heard anything back. All in all I would recommend staying here. We feel the pros outweighed the cons, and the price was right. ##### Joseph T. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location-can’t beat the views The location is EXCELLENT with great views of the ocean just out the back. Close to Kona… we walked there daily. Watched surfers and the home was a great base camp for all our adventures out. The lanai, patio and garden are lovely. this is the very best part of the home. The house is large enough and a very “beach house” vibe. The very small kitchen did have what we needed, but we only made light snacks, cocktails and coffee. We ate at restaurants and local food stops for the stay. The fridge was large and worked well. The electric range was difficult because the knobs have all been scrubbed where you can’t read the settings. But I can’t cook on electric anyway… so that may not be an issue for others. There is ceiling fan in the kitchen, but this was the hottest room in the place and wasn’t enough to cool it. The living room could use a A/C unit and possibly some heat blocking curtains in the kitchen for the afternoon sun? The bedroom unit air conditioners do work really well, so no issue sleeping and all the beds and bedding were very nice. We were disappointed with the layout of the home. The 3rd bedroom required you to exit the room through another person’s bedroom to leave. So very little privacy waiting for it to be clear to enter or exit that room. And the bathroom that is Jack in Jill to the living room has really zero privacy. It has one louvre door with gaps and paper thin so you know when it is occupied if you get my meaning - the door to the bedroom for ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sanders E., Napa, CA 19 Feb 2020 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Great setting - but wow..... Ok, we have stayed in countless VRBO properties - and if you check our reviews (both from hosts as well as our reviews of properties) they are always top-notch positive. We never have an axe to grind. So, I want to be fair here: Pros: - the setting is amazing, great oceanfront views - very close to town, so you can walk to almost everything in the area. - outside shower (mentioned by many guests) is awesome - sliding exterior wall was wonderful Cons: - the house is WAY more rundown than the pictures show. I took many pictures of holes in the baseboards/walls, grimey tile and walls, stained counters, rusted fridge/washer/dryer, etc. For what they charge it's pretty inexcusable that they dont replace these items periodically. I have pics - I'll see if I can post them. - upon check-in the hot tub water was dirty from the previous guests. We had to call to get it cleaned, so we couldn't use it for 3 days while it was cleaned and came up to temp. - upon check-in the tv was broken. It took 3 days to have a new tv delivered and installed. - we are not clean freaks by any stretch, but the house was grimy/dirty (even tho we had to wait til 4pm to check in because the cleaning crew was still working). After complaining for 3 days we had to hire our own cleaning crew who took 4 hours to clean what should have already been clean when we got there (which was eventually reimbursed by the owners). - the oven and outdoor BBQ were dirty upon our arrival (even the cookie sheets were dirty!). - we found rodent droppings along the walls and in the corners. The prop manager finally sent an exterminator, so we had the pleasure of having rat traps in the house during our stay. - chaise lounges are chain-locked to the patio, so you cant move them into the shade when needed. Huh?! We stayed at this property for 11 days - and once we had it cleaned it was quite "ok". To be honest, when you're outside on the lanai its really quite nice, but for what we paid we felt completely ripped off. Im sorry to say we would NEVER stay here again (and I cant say that about many other VRBO's we have ever stayed in). The owners finally agreed to refund us 1 night stay - but honestly does 1 night out of 11 seem fair for all of the above? All I can say is "rent this home at your own risk". Thankfully we had great VRBO homes the rest of our 23 days in Hawaii, or else our hard-earned vacation could have been an epic disaster. Sorry to be so blunt! ##### Sanders E.

Ocean front lounging and taking in of the views and waves. The house is serviceable and the management very responsive to questions and needs. Highly recommend this spot in paradise. ##### Lynn R.

My family (husband, 2 teenagers, and a 7yo) and I enjoyed our stay here. The location on Ali'i Drive is very convenient. We walked to shopping and restaurants often. The ocean being right in your backyard is just amazing! The house was clean, and we appreciated the bodyboards to play with at the beaches. Most of the provided goggles and fins were broken, however, and we didn't realize it until we were trying to use them in the water. Minor pet peeve: no regular table salt provided in the house. They allowed us to check out an hour later than usual, with last minute notice. I am VERY appreciative of that! We would stay here again :) ##### Jenna B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Clay E. 8 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Good and bad Mostly our stay was all good, however the biggest issue was that one of the bedrooms was accessible only through one of the other bedrooms. So to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you had to go into someone else's bedroom, waking them up. Otherwise it was mostly as advertised, right on the water, with a beautiful view. ##### Clay E.

We had a good experience with some very positive things to report, but also some issues that we had. The home was originally 1 bd/ 1 bath that was expanded at some point. There is no front door and I could never lock the sliding door (I had to lock the gate assess hoping no one would jump the fence to rob the place). Of note on the new floor plan: there were two rooms added with a bathroom in-between. The one bedroom is accessible through the kitchen but the other bedroom is accessible only through that bedroom (and bath) or through the original bedroom. It doesn't have any egress except through someone else's room. There were outlets that didn't work, we also blew a fuse when a room A/C unit was plugged in; we had ants in the kitchen one day... all kind of expected for an older beach home, but not at the premium price charged. We enjoyed the wonderful tide pools just beyond the back rock wall. The view was gorgeous and eating out on the covered patio was quite enjoyable. We made use of the outdoor shower (but kind of sharp rocky floor) and the covered spa. Overall a nice experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Waikiki-Beach-Resort-Spa.h19988.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Londonderry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Londonderry-Hotels.d2038.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > ['Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Alohilani-Resort-Waikiki-Beach.h21781.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Reef-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h23249.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston Waikiki Beach Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Aston-Waikiki-Beach-Tower.h24955.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beachcomber-By-Outrigger.h21123568.Hotel-Information) > > [Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Wailea-Beach-Resort-Marriott.h20303.Hotel-Information) > > [Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beach-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h5306.Hotel-Information) > > [The Imperial Hawaii Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Imperial-Hawaii-Resort.h6822419.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kahala Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Kahala-Hotel-Resort.h28496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Modern-Honolulu.h3855608.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Hawaiian-Village-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13857.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-OHANA-Waikiki-East-By-Outrigger.h14848.Hotel-Information) > > [Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Moana-Surfrider.h15534.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen Kapiolani Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Queen-Kapiolani-Hotel.h234.Hotel-Information) > > [Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Ala-Moana-Hotel.h25198.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Princess-Kaiulani.h18246.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Grand-Wailea-Maui.h7867.Hotel-Information) > > [Prince Waikiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Prince-Waikiki.h287.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach.h25227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Waikiki-Beach.h2766.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Kona Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Royal-Kona-Resort.h25276.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Maui-At-Wailea.h14336.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twin Fin Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Twin-Fin-Hotel.h34498.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Croix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hotel-LaCroix.h49776.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Waikiki.h7385.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Shore Waikiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Park-Shore-Waikiki.h13853.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koloa-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Kauai-Resort-And-Spa.h22122.Hotel-Information) > > [Oasis Hotel Waikiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Aqua-Oasis.h18840.Hotel-Information)
