This is located in a gated community, easy to find and the neighborhood is friendly and quiet. The house is very clean and organized. I loved sitting out on the patio and watching the resident gecko run around. We were a party of six and stayed for 8 nights, this house was a perfect fit.

This is a new property, which boasts 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a gourmet kitchen. The house was clean and spacious. It is located in a safe gated community. Our family was able to use this location as a home base for exploring the Kona area and the Big Island.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the clean, spacious property and its location. Its great to hear it served as a perfect home base for exploring the Big Island. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
This house in Keahou is super comfortable. I stayed there with my two small kids, and benefitted from community poop and the patio at the side of the house, where we would have breakfast outside. We chose the house for its proximity to Kahalu because we love snorkeling there. We would absolutely stay there again.
Everyone in our family enjoyed this property. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the lanai throughout the day. Pickleball was a 3 minute walk away. Management was accessible and in contact. I would stay here again!

We're so glad to hear that you and your family had an amazing stay at our property! Our team strives to make sure each guest has a memorable experience, and we are thrilled that it was exactly what you wanted. The lanai with the beautiful surroundings made for a great spot to unwind and recharge. Plus, pickleball being just a few minutes away was icing on the cake! We are glad you found our management approachable and available - we're always here to help in any way possible. We look forward to having you return soon and thank you for choosing our property!
Our family stayed here for 1 week. The house was as described, immaculate and well stocked (full bottles of shampoo, toilet paper,etc)- while we did go to the grocery to get supplies the first day- we didn't really need to until day 4. Very thoughtfully set up with everything needed to start your vacation immediately.The location is about 20 min drive from downtown Ali'i drive, 2 hours to Volcano NP. 30 min from airport. It is in a quiet gated community As I researched this location, there were some rare random comments about communication issues with the property manager but we had no issues. They were helpful, timely and professional with our many questions. They made great recommendations re: groceries, beaches, parking areas, etc. The only constructive feedback, so that this review is balanced and transparent (and none of these issues would even warrant any change in my star ratings of the place)-Instructions on the TV and thermostat (Nest smart device). Many vacation homes have a small "orientation packet" to help with various devices. While I had my tech savvy teens help- those less adept might struggle.-The description on the VRBO website lists a "fitness center"- I did point this out to the owners so hopefuly this has been removed. But there is NO fitness center available. -The grill ignitor did not work and there was 1-2 days of turnaround for it to be addressed.Overall, as perfect a VRBO house as we've had and we've used VRBO for over 10 years!

Thank you for sharing your experience and we are thrilled that you had such a wonderful stay !
Please let us know if we can assist you when planning your next Hawaiian vacation !!!
House and property was terrific. We loved their design and the features of the home. Cleanliness, comfort, accessibility was top notch. We ran into an issue of the fire alarms chirping at night. After our first night of this, and resetting the alarms, we contacted the property management by email and no response. On night 2, it started chirping again, and on day 3 finally property management sent someone out to change batteries. On night 3, it chirped again all night and now 2 of the alarms were chirping, called and finally on day 4 the property management changed all batteries on all alarms. We would have done this, but ceilings were to high to reach and did not have a ladder. Even on nights when we would call their after hours and weekend numbers, no response until 8:30 the next day. In summary, terrific house and would have been 5 Stars however, when you are only able to get 1 good night sleep on a 4 night stay, and they show no remorse of compensation for their lack of concern about not sleeping for 3 days while on a vacation hoping to get some R&R, they are lucky to get 3 stars!Our family has given nothing but 5 star reviews so very difficult to have to do this. Hope only next time, property management will return their after hours voicemails and emails sent in the middle of the night.

Aloha,
We are happy that you liked the design, cleanliness, comfort and accessibility of the property.
I would add that once we were made aware of the smoke detector(s) chirping we sent our staff and maintenance right away. Once informed that it was continuing the next night, we changed out all of the smoke detector batteries. We truly apologize for the inconvenience and disruption of your vacation that this caused.

We had an unforgettable Thanksgiving holiday here. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and the home is pristine and well-appointed, as advertised. Even though the property manager ignored my texts and emails throughout the week, we would definitely stay here again.

We loved the home and the beach items left for use
The home was beautiful, the amenities were awesome! The salt water pool was awesome, but the hot tub was way too hot! The grill at the house was broken and the sprinkler system sprayed the lanai furniture. But, they had chairs, coolers, towels and snorkle gear at the house! Highly recommend!

The property was great. We had a tremendous amount of room for our family of 5. The extras (beach towels, chairs, umbrellas) were super helpful.
The pool and hot tub were nice to unwind in after a day of excursions. And the neighborhood was nice and quiet.
The location was nice, with a grocery store and restaurants near by. It was a quick drive to most of the excursions we did.
Highly recommend this place to others.

The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated. I was especially impressed with the way it was stocked with many items you may need, including such things as plenty of laundry soap, full size shampoo and conditioner, all sizes of storage bags and of course plenty of bed linens and kitchen items. Also included were chairs and other beach items. The area is very quiet, so good for those of us who play all day and sleep all night. The pool was a great temperate and the view of the mountains from the lanai and the pool both lovely.
The site is tucked away, so there is very low traffic and it is a very quiet neighborhood.
I would definitely stay here again if I were on the big island.
If you are looking for big beaches they are about an hour North. However there are many areas to safely get in the water to swim or snorkel. You are very close to good snorkeling and walking distance to the harbor for any boating/snorkeling/fishing needs. Don’t miss the farmers market in front of the Sheraton on Wednesday am!! And the night Manta Ray drive is amazing.
