We had such an amazing week at this house! The location was perfect for us. Away from the crowds and traffic but close enough to get to everything within 10-15 minutes. The neighborhood was quiet and so peaceful. We enjoyed our morning walks looking at all the flowers. The house itself was beautiful, so spacious and had every amenity you'll need for your stay! The outdoor area is really the highlight! Sitting by the pool or on the couch having coffee and watching the ocean and sunsets! Everyone is going to miss our "Big Island House!"

House was awesome in size, layout and amenities for our family group of eight. We went out and about when we felt like it, but were equally happy just to enjoy the property and its offerings. A beautifully custom-built house, but now aging to the point where there is ongoing maintenance that is need to keep it at a standard that matches the rental 'ask'. I sent a list of about 13 items, a couple of which have a level of urgency needed, for repairs. On arrival there was one large glass slider that couldn't be locked. The Property manager responded quickly to that. The rest could be dealt with after we vacated the property. ##### Peter F.

We have been visiting the Kailua-Kona area every year for the last 30 years and this was our first time renting this property. There was plenty of room for everyone and we made great use of the pool, the kitchen and outdoor grill for family meals, and the lanai for relaxing the enjoying the amazing views, especially the sunsets. We explored the island in every direction from this central location.Our tall family members found the furniture to be very low to the ground and somewhat uncomfortable as a result. Some aspects of the property and furnishings need updating so we thought the price was high given the status of the furnishings, finishes, linens, etc. Everything was very clean and service concerns related to AC or pool service had prompt response. ##### Michelle B.

Unfortunately, all doors were vented and therefore privacy and sound proofing was non existent.We had a baby and toddler with us, trying to keep voices down and TV quiet was very challenging. A number of items need to be updated or fixed at the house. It is situated on a residence estate, with shops beach a 5 -10 minute drive away ##### chris B.

Pictures accurately represent the property, it was well decorated, rooms were larger than expected, view of the ocean was amazing. 5 minutes to a shopping center, 10 minutes from the beach, and 15 minutes from the tourist shops in Kona. Perfect for our adult family. Be aware, they are strict about their quiet hours. If our family returns to the Kona area of the Big Island, I would definitely look to stay here again. ##### Chris M.

The pool is larger than it appears in the pictures. The house is nice, but has it's quirks. The bedrooms have individual room air conditioners and ceiling fans. The living room, dining room and kitchen have central air. Due to the need for ventilation all the bedroom doors and even the bathroom doors are louvered doors. Plenty of space for our group of 7! ##### Keith B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kelly m. 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Dear Future Guest,Here is a creative output based on the query:We accept that a significant portion of the vacation was spent in Kona and Hilo" But, not booking this place would be a mistake.This listing might seem like just a place to stay. But this VRBO is a Beachfront Brain, a Surfing or golfing Athlete, a Relaxing Basket Case, a Luxe Princess, and a "Local" Criminal.The Brain is the incredibly well-equipped kitchen. It has everything needed, from coffee makers to beach coolers.The Athlete is the location. Steps from beaches perfect for catching waves and soaking in the sun.The Basket Case is the sheer tranquility. The space is quiet and peaceful, allowing worries to melt away.The Princess is the comfort and luxury. Plush beds, thoughtful decor, amazing ocean views, and enough space to feel like royalty.And the "Local" Criminal... well, that's you, because you'll want to stay here forever, and that's against the rules, isn't it?This review began with the intent to simply list amenities. But it was more than that: it was an experience. It showed that a temporary stay can leave a lasting impression.We were a group of family and friends that decided to take a break from work and responsibilities and we had the most fantastic time from swimming in the pool to family dinners to playing games. We look forward to making more wonderful memories and returning to this home.Does that answer the question?Sincerely Yours, The Kona Club ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f8234168-2ace-435a-936c-ca874f30209d-1749522440686.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f77f2536-a57c-4f8d-817f-6105ad9e2a6b-1749522439712.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86bff470-6952-41ae-8907-34fa8699e919-1749522441001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2652339c-f686-49c3-8238-159f70a7ce0f-1749522442583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### kelly m.

There is also a double sized air mattress that we put to good use to optimize for our mix of singles and couples. Host Jesse and housekeeping were very responsive to our request for additional linens and delivered them within a few hours – on a Sunday. We did not opt for the optional pool heating service, but found the water temperature to be “perfect” anyway – in January. The house is fully air-conditioned, but for our visit, we found little need to run it. In a quiet and peaceful setting within a gated community. Note the “two car” limit for the driveway; there is no on-street parking. We managed fine with our two seven passenger rentals. An all around five-star experience and we would not hesitate to come again. ##### Ken M.

It was my family of 4, another family of 4 and another family of 3. Kids were 15, 13, 12, 11, and 11. We put the kids in the two smaller rooms upstairs (we did need to buy a blow up mattress from the local WalMart for the 5th kid). One couple stayed in the master with the ensuite. The other two stayed in the larger rooms on the main floor. The only issue was that one couple used the full bath on the main while the other had to go upstairs to the hallway bath. Other than that minor inconvenience our group enjoyed the large, lovely home. We spent most of our time at the house sitting on the patio staring over the pool and into the ocean. The view is simply breathtaking and the location was great...close to Kona and the airport. ##### Darby P.

The pictures are better than the house! Not very clean, lots of cockroaches. The pool is very nice. The patio was good and large for gathering family. The kitchen has everything you need and is very large. Master suite bed is very soft but the shower is amazing. The location is not walkable to anywhere except walking in the neighborhood. It is a short drive to the beach and shopping area. The air conditioners work great. Lots of beach chairs and boogie boards and sand toys which was super nice to have. There are stand up paddle boards but did not find a safe beach to do that at. Overall the property is good for a large group, we had 10 and plenty of room. ##### Shannon L.

The house was better than I expected. The pictures don't do justice to the outdoor living space and the views!! The pool was sparkling clean and warm our entire stay and there is a large covered outdoor seating area, an outdoor kitchen and an outdoor bathroom. We spent a lot of mornings and evenings out there. The location is perfect in a very quiet upscale gated neighborhood with security. You are very close to restaurants, groceries and downtown Kona. The inside of the house is large with a very comfortable living room and kitchen. All of the bedrooms had comfortable beds and there are 3 1/2 more bathrooms inside. The house was very clean. I've stayed several times on the Big Island and this was definitely the nicest house so far. We had an amazing time as always but it was very nice to come home to a beautiful comfortable house after a day of sight seeing. Some days we just hung out in the area. It's perfect for a larger family or several couples. ##### Linda T.

Garage door malfunction but names in info binder no longer with company. Finally got someone but was told could not get help for a couple of days. What if a pipe had burst ? Pool was dirty when we arrived with dirty spoons in it. Many roaches running around. Some windows and shutters not working. All in all could be maintained better and have better contact info and response for help ##### Nick N.

Our family had the pleasure of staying at the spectacular Keauhou Gated Residences with postcard worthy ocean views and pool. This residence was the perfect place for our entire extended family to make special memories while exploring and enjoying the Big Island together. The large chef’s kitchen was perfect for preparing meals and dining at the large island or sitting in the large dining room. We purchased groceries and prepared home cooked meals after exploring the sites during the day! The backyard BBQ and outdoor island were also a hit for a holiday BBQ. The outdoor pool was perfect for swimming during the day or relaxing during the evening. The spectacular sunsets and ocean views were the perfect backdrop for photos and for appreciating the Hawaiian landscapes. The large living room provided a space for everyone to connect at the end of the day and enjoy a movie. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and many had a private lanai. We felt safe in the community and appreciated the beautifully landscaped spaces. The proximity to the beaches, shopping centers, restaurants, and the airport was appreciated. We enjoyed staying at our Hawaiin oasis which felt like living in a postcard and was our home away from home! We would recommend this residence to anyone wanting to escape to a true Hawaiian paradise! Mahalo! ##### Lisa A.

The property manager met me at the property and I brought one issue forward about the individual room air conditioner remotes to his attention for non-function. He was insistent he could go get some batteries for the remotes but I told him I could easily manage that as I was making a trip to Costco. He informed on his visit that he wanted to have contractors come into the house to perform some repairs on the property and really couldn't find a maintenance window of having the issues remediated because of the back to back booking constraints they were facing with the property.a. Back door latch / lock to yard area was not working correctly. b. Main bath toilet was acting strange in its flushing and tank refilling cyclec. Light issues between the lanai and the main living room lighting - dimming and actuation. The contractors never came and he and I never communicated for the rest of the week. The property is beautiful - the front pool area is breathtaking for sunsets; but the house needs a couple things. I ended up having to program the two other bedroom air conditioners with the main remote to get the function correct as the two remotes in the other upstairs bedrooms were non operable even with batteries. Would I rent it again? Yes but hopefully with all the house issues remediated and possibly a little better value. For the pricing they ask for - everything should be in perfect order. ##### Stefan O.
