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.

Aloha and mahalo for the wonderful review. We're glad the home was everything you hoped for and that the en-suite bedrooms, bedroom AC, fans, and well-equipped kitchen worked well for your group. It’s great to hear the pool area, ocean sounds, and outdoor shade made for relaxing mornings and sunny days. Thank you for leaving the cooler and boogie boards for future guests — that’s very much appreciated. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back to the Big Island soon.

The house is as described, which isn't always the case with vacation rentals. This house was perfect for multiple couples and extended family. 10 of us (4 generations) stayed for a week and the house was very well designed to allow everyone their own space when needed, but had enough room for everyone to gather for meals prepared in the very well stocked kitchen. Cooking was made very easy compared to other places we've stayed. All the adults commented on how well the house was setup. The host was also very responsive to questions and easy to work with.

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.

Kona vacation

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!

The house and kitchen amenities were great. The pool and hot tub were very nice but the pool water was pretty cold so wasn’t used as much as we wanted to. and you could not start heating the spa water until after 2:30 when the filtering ended. It was too cold to use earlier in the days. We felt it could have been filtered during the night so we could have started the heating of the spa earlier.

Kitchen was amazingly stocked!! Plenty of cookware, serving items, and dishes to host the 10 adults staying with us. And the extra refrigerator was a must for a large group. The A/C units in each room worked wonderfully and made quick work of the humidity so sleeping was very comfortable. Property managers answered my calls and questions! Very positive interactions with them. The concierge lined up a fantastic zip lining experience for our entire group. The ONLY improvement we could suggest is for the hot tub the be able to be heated up and used in the morning. The golfers in our group would have appreciated that.I don’t think I could have found a more perfect house for our group! Loved every minute!
