This house was incredible! The location and views were stunning. Plenty of space to spread out and multiple areas to be together! Everything about the house was amazing. Morning coffee and breakfast outside and the waves crashing on the lava - incredible.

Great Family Vacation

This property was just right for our family of 10 ranging in age of 3-68! Pool/hot tub was a highlight for us all. Keiki beach a short walk away. House was just the right size for all to have privacy and togetherness.

Big Island Paradise

This home was even more welcoming and spacious than the listing conveys. Comfortable, spacious and well apportioned, and it’s beach side location is perfect - a feeling of your own “private beach” within a gated community, and the convenience of nearby shops and restaurants.

Family dream vacation

This was our dream to bring our family to Hawaii. We chose this home because we were sure we could walk to town, being on the beach, having a pool, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for the 10 of us. Would love to do it again!

We had issues getting the ac to cool the bedroom and issues getting the ac to cool in general. Directions to the house were not specific enough. For the money, a few more amenities should have been included (coffee and bath products).

Aloha, Mahalo for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the air conditioning wasn’t performing properly — The owner is working on replacing the primary bedroom AC. We’ll also clarify and expand the written directions so future arrivals are smoother. All of our guests for this home receive a welcome bag with 100% Kona Coffee beans and we supply a starter supply of toilet paper and large refillable shampoo, conditioner and bath soap bottles.

Never want to leave!!

Our family absolutely loved this home!! A beautiful relaxing “home” that you will not want to leave. Only disappointment was a broken hammock and the photos showed 2 as well (only 1 & broken). The home has an amazing layout and accommodates a large family/group very well.

Great Hawaiian Property and amazing location

It was hard to leave the property because the view, sandy beach and patio were so perfect! The house is warm, somewhat eclectic and great for 5 couples. Everyone had space to roam or be together. My only complaint is the beds were a little small in some of the bedrooms for two adults.

Awesome Family Vacation

Our 9 member 3 generation family was celebrating 3 graduations. Great amenities and location. We especially enjoyed to pool right at ocean front, the fireworks viewing from the deck and the beautiful sunsets from the front wall. KVC responded promptly to any concerns we had, which were minor.

Wonderful Location

The location of this house is perhaps the best you can find. Within the gated community, on the ocean and walking distance from town... just not sure you can find this combo anywhere else. We were a group of colleagues who enjoyed our stay here. The sunsets on the back porch or from the pool were epic. Note to future guests, what appears to be a hot tub in the photos is actually only heated for two hours (6-8pm) a day. We'd definitely come back!

The house was clean and in great condition. The location is private, close to the Keiki pond and has stunning views of the ocean as well as Kona. All in all very good value. One note, the pool is very deep, 6/7’, and does not have a section that’s shallow. We had toddlers and young kids so we had to be hyper vigilant around the pool. Also the hot tub is only heated for three hours out of the day, from 6-9pm. There is no access to the controller.

Perfect Location For A Perfect Vacation

Everything about our rental and experience at this house was perfect. The house had an ideal amount of space for 7 of us (aged 18-87) to both interact and relax alone. The location is close to shopping and dining, and Keiki Beach is just steps away. We saw whales and dolphins from the lanais and plenty of tropical fish in the ponds. Sunset from this location is amazing too. The house was well outfitted for cooking in, and there are myriad towels for sunbathing and beach time. Would return in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!

Family vacation of a lifetime!

Our stay at this beautiful property was a dream come true! There were nine adults and one toddler and not once were we lacking for space. We took full advantage of the outdoor pool area, the bbq and the nearby Keiki beach. Each morning we were in the pool around 7 am , we went sightseeing after breakfast and returned in the afternoon to go back in the pool or to the beach and cooked dinner for everyone in the well stocked kitchen. We got the chance to get to know our new Australian ohana and celebrate all of us being together. What a memorable vacation! Thank you for the chance to let us come together under your roof and to enjoy the island of Hawaii!

Beautiful home, beautiful location.

We spent a long time dreaming of our family’s week in this home, based on the description there was a lot to be excited about! It was better than described. The house was beautiful and clean and somehow bigger than described. There was plenty of space for our multigenerational family of 8. There is a gorgeous beach that you can walk to, but honestly I’d have been happy to never leave the property, some in our party hardly did. Sitting outside looking at the water, the air smells of flowers. Its heavenly. Highly recommend.

Ocean views that can’t be beat!

Outstanding location on the point that allows fantastic morning sunrises over the mountain, afternoon whale spotting and amazing sunsets! Walk to town or to the old airport beach Only disappointed with the outdoor furniture which needs to be updated to really match the rest of the house and views. The first day we went to Cotsco and bought some beach chairs to use. The main upstairs bedroom has fabulous deck but poor furniture again so can’t really use it to take advantage of the beautiful views .

Beautiful Location

First of all, my family and I really enjoyed our time at the property. We were there for a variety of occasions including anniversaries, birthdays, and my recent retirement. We had nine people ranging from us, the grandparents, to children aged eight to 18 months. The home and it's ohana (guesthouse), easily accommodated the group. The home itself was functional, but the the staged photos on the website are much nicer than we experienced. In addition, the ohana needed to be cleaned when we arrived. They supplied plenty of towels, the kitchen well stocked, but very dated. The location was incredible, and made it easy to overlook some of the challenges and the management company was very attentive to all of our needs.

Fabulous Kona Home

The home was everting we expected based upon the information and pictures. There were 8 of us and we were all comfortable in the home. Well stocked kitchen for meals and new Weber Grill for BBQ. Pool was great and the spa was heated from 5 to 8 each evening which was perfect for our group. High chair was a bonus and saved renting one. We did rent a playpen but there is one at the house which we did not know. Lots of pool stuff, and beach items though all of these things were not promised. Ideal location and home for family or say 3 couples to stay at and great location in Kona itself.
