House was absolutely beautiful! Photos are accurate. House was extremely well appointed--had everything we needed (especially nicely appointed kitchen) and then some. Great location. Enjoyed our two week stay in Kona.

This is a lovely property. The house is beautiful with tons of space for sleeping and lounging - both indoors and out. Lovely garden that leads to a black rock beach. Accessible to everything we wanted to do in the Kona area. Highly recommend.
The home was amazing! It had everything we needed and more. Very nicely decorated and spacious. Ritika is a wonderful host. She was quick to respond to our questions. The location is perfect. Close to shopping and many other adventures. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home.

Thank you Michelle .. I loved hosting you at my place. Please come visit us again soon! Mahalo!
The place looks just like the photos. The house is spacious, clean, and quiet. My family enjoyed it very much. It has a great view of the ocean, and close to everywhere if you are going to spend most of your time in Kona. Keep in mind that you will need tennis shoes in case you are going to play. No running shoes allowed.
We needed an extra hair dryer so the property manager was kind enough to get us another extra.
We would love to visit again! It felt like home!

Beautiful house but not exactly as advertised
We stayed in this property for 5 nights.
The good- It is a beautiful home in a nice location.
The not so good-I found the property manager not very responsive. Before our trip I'd emailed her a question. I never got a response. I emailed a second time and did receive a response then. Also, I did not receive the front door code several days before our arrival as promised. The night we arrived I called and emailed the property manager. When I did get in touch with her she told me it was sent in the VRBO app (which I don't have). All of our communication prior had been done through the website and I expected the entry information to be through the same channels. I feel like she's lacking in communication.
The guest information book notes to keep counters clean and doors closed because they do have a bug problem for which they spray monthly. Our first day there the small ants began showing up all over the counter. We didn't leave food out on the counter and wiped it clean after each use. The bugs were so bad that one morning at breakfast the ants were crawling all over the plate of bacon 5 minutes after I'd finished cooking before it had been plated! We also had a huge cockroach in our main bedroom one night.
The "beach" is a very rocky and rough area next to an apartment complex that is not beautiful, appealing or accessible.
The pool is closed through 08/23 and we were not told about this ahead of time. I only found out when I asked the manager for the code.

Aloha Jennifer,
I’m saddened to read that you had a less than pleasant stay in my home. I take pride in my quick response to our guests questions and am sorry if your question slipped through the cracks.
Regarding access codes, all messages are sent through the website/app you booked from. Nothing is done outside of it. And as for the bugs, yes – being a tropical climate as we have on the island, they are hard to control. But we do our due diligence and have Pest Control done on a regular schedule inside and out.
While we are expecting pool closure for maintenance for a few days in the upcoming months, it currently is and has been fully available and operational during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Ritika Dewan
Aloha! - I'm Ritika and I live in Northern California with my partner, raising 2 beautiful young children who keep me young, and on my toes!.
I've always loved meeting new people and I express my creativity through photography and interior design. I have spent a better part of my life doing both, having lived and worked in India, New York, California and Hawaii.
I take a lot of pride in taking care of my family and friends, and hosting experiences for them that they remember for years. It gives me great pleasure taking care of the people around me ( and yes, hearing good things about it from them :) )
This is essentially, why I've decided to become a full-time Airbnb host. Our Hawaii vacation home is one that my family and friends enjoy spending time in and it has created lasting memories for everyone who've stayed here. There really is magic on this island paradise!
With their encouragement, I have decided to expand my hosting circle to include you. I'm looking forward to meeting you and hosting you and your family. I'll do my best to make your stay comfortable and your experience unforgettable - its what makes me happy!
Kailua-Kona is a wonderful place with beautiful beaches, breath taking ocean views and great people. I hope you like it as much as we do.
Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions regarding my listing.
Why they chose this property
The Big Island in Hawaii is a very special place. Not only is it the biggest of Hawaii's island, it also is one that experiences different weather systems and patterns. My family and I found that very appealing. You could at one moment be on a warm sunny beach enjoying a relaxing ocean swim., and then choose to drive up the mountains and enjoy a completely different micro climate of rain and snow (yes that right!). We dreamed of making ourselves a part of this island in some way.
So when this house (that we lovingly have since named The Barefoot Bungalow) came on the market, we knew it was meant to be. It was a family friendly house set in a perfect idyllic location right by the ocean. It also gave us the sense of community and security - being one of just 16 houses in a gated community with wonderful neighbors that embody the island spirit.
The vibe and energy of the island, the community and this house never fail to energize me. Its the perfect vacation spot where you can choose to do as much or as little as you'd wish for.
What makes this property unique
Barefoot Bungalow is a spectacular 2 story villa right on the oceanfront. It is part of a community of just 16 homes that are in a botanical garden like setting, surrounded by lush island greenery, while providing modern amenities. The property has access to the beach through a special entrance - and the views are simply breathtaking.
You can spend hours on the lanai staring out into the garden, and beyond into the ocean. It's the perfect spot to catch the sunset, while sipping a glass of wine (at least that's what I do :-))
It is located about 2 miles from Kailua Village which has a wonderful island and beach front vibe to it. This house has been a wonderful getaway for my close friends and family, and that's what i hope will be your experience as well.
