Beautiful House

The house and grounds were beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, which is wonderful when you're traveling with 9 people! The view was amazing. We loved the pool and hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!!

Awesome stay

Great location to Kona. House was lovely. Plenty of room for people to socialize or have time to themselves. Kitchen is well stocked and we found the layout easy for several people to be working in the kitchen at once. While not really a complaint, one thing that might be a nice improvement would be cushions on the lounge chairs by the pool. We totally enjoyed our stay and would certainly come back to this house.

The hot tub was great for the evenings after a day of activities. Great location, easy to get to beaches to snorkel and relax. We rented 2 cars, parking was safe and easy. New Grill was wonderful! Well stocked kitchen for cooking and serving meals.

Perfect Rental for family

The house had everything we needed for our stay with 7 guests. It was in the perfect location, convenient to stores, restaurants and the airport. The neighborhood and view were incredible. David our concierge was amazing! We were able to book several activities and he helped us rebook two things last minute after one place canceled. Everyone was very pleased and we would stay again.

Large group for the Ironman. Loved this property. We were nervous about AC only being in the bedrooms but it was totally fine! Great space to spread out. Loved having a wet bar and extra frig. Helped so much with food prep for our large group. Would definitely stay here again!

The house and property were in excellent condition. we were impressed with the initial supplies provided and with the dishes and cookware. The pool and hot Tub were well maintained. The sunset views were spectacular. The location was just a short drive to groceries and necessities. Kona Coast Vacations and Concierge, David,were excellent in responding to any of our questions.

Family Wedding in Kona

The home was perfect for our week stay in Kona! The house was clean & spacious. The pool, view from the pool and location close in to Kona was also perfect. The kitchen and bar area was well stocked with all the essentials including glassware and plastic poolside dishware. Beds and linens were comfortable. We would come back to this home and have already recommended the home to friends. We also appreciated the welcome basket upon arrival and the excellent communication from your staff before checkin!

Beautiful Sunsets and Lot's of space

We stayed here with 9 people and had plenty of room for everyone. The pool and spa were wonderful and the sunsets from the patio and balcony were a delight every night. The house is well stocked for those who, like us, cooked most of our meals. The location is a short 5 minute drive to the farmer's market and downtown shopping. Major retail stores like costco, walmart, and safeway were only 10 minutes away. Overall it was a fantastic place for a family vacation on a semi-private drive with little traffic.

Perfect Spot

The house was perfect for our mixed families, totaling 10 people. Everyone had a private bath. Beds were comfortable. Pool was clean and super fun with a great view of the ocean- perfect for sunsets! Location is nice for everything on the Kona side (beaches, town, marina), but it is a hike to get to black sand beach, volcanoes NP and Hilo from here. Loved every minute- would highly recommend.

Kona vacation

The house was wonderful. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The beds were comfy and air conditioning led to refreshing sleep. There is a cook’s kitchen with ample utensils, bowls, and specialty pans to make anything you want to make. The pots and pans were new and all appliances were updated. In addition to a large fridge in the kitchen they have another fridge in the breakfast area which we used as a beverage fridge. The house was well stocked. We had plenty of paper towels, laundry soap, toilet paper, shampoo, soap, etc. for our 2 week stay. The outside is wonderful. The pool and hot tub were clean and in good working order. There is an abundance of seating options to sun bath or enjoy the incredible views. We ate all meals outside on the large table on the covered patio. There is an additional patio area upstairs that is wonderful for watching sunsets and enjoying the view. The neighborhood felt safe and was walkable. They have a book exchange just up the street which was convenient and well stocked. If you are staying here in the heat of summer the main part of the house is not air conditioned. It was hot during our stay but we spent the majority of the day outside. There are overhead fans in all rooms so that helped move the air nicely in the evenings. If you have a large group this is a wonderful house. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was amazing and everything we had hoped for. We had 8 people, 5 adults and 3 kids in the age range 11-13. The bedrooms each having their own bathroom was great. AC in the bedrooms only and not the living spaces was never an issue as there were fans and it never got too hot inside. The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of refrigerator space, and the grill worked great. The pool area was fantastic for morning coffee and listening to the waves (yes you can hear them from pretty far away!) and swimming and sunbathing throughout the day. Plenty of shade outside too if needed. The gym equipment in the garage was adequate. The neighborhood was nice and quiet for walks and longer runs up the hill or down into Kona.We purchased a cooler and some boogie boards to use and leave for future guests and their trips to the beach or around the island. We rented beach chairs and a canopy for a very decent weekly rate at a shop in Kona.I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

We were very happy with how well the house was stocked, especially the kitchen. It easily accommodated our group of 10 and everyone having their own ensuite bath was such a bonus. Used the pool and hot tub daily and enjoyed being able to relax there after a day of hiking and exploring. Location was very convenient for shopping. Would happily rent here again!
