Loved this place! it was just what we wanted. Quiet, close to the main road, shopping and restaurants. Lovely outdoor area to enjoy the sounds of nature or gentle rain on the lanai. Reserved parking for two vehicles. Just felt like home. Our host responded quickly to any communication and went above and beyond in one instance. You won’t be disappointed if you pick this one.

Exceptional place

Best place we have stayed so far ANYwhere. Phenomenal fit for us. The location was excellent. The outside spaces are simply beautiful. I spent hours enjoying the meticulous landscaping, flowers and fruit trees which attract butterflies, birds and they even have a family of mongooses living right in the hedge. They visited me every day.

The Perfect Home away from Home

Aloha, This was our first real vacation in 18 years, and our first ever trip to Kona-Kailua Hawaii. When we arrived at this beautiful home in a gated community, it instantly felt like the perfect vacation home away from home. All the amenities one needs on a day to day, plus this place has A/C. It was clean, eloquently decorated. Minutes away from beach access, close to town and shopping, and not far from all the amazing boat tours at the Marina. So much outdoor recreation to do, amazing places to dine and lots of different aspects of the Island to explore. I'm officially hooked on Hawaii and will be back to stay at this lovely home on our next vacation there.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020

Clean, new, rental

Very nice property. Relatively new construction with nice furniture, bathrooms, and kitchen. No view of beach or water(but that didn't really matter to us since we left early and came back late). The place is quiet and serine. Somewhat difficult to find and get to. A gate was locked so my wife had to find another route.

Comfortable and convenient for Ali'i Drive attractions

The property was comfortable for our family of 5 adults and 2 children. Finding the property was a little tricky, as the street off from Ali'i Drive did not have a noticeable street sign. But once we found the street, things went smoothly. We appreciated being able to connect to WIFI, but could not figure out how to play a DVD (there were a number of DVDs available). The location is very good: easy to find a beach for snorkeling, close to restaurants on Ali'i Drive, and a good starting point for many sight-seeing adventures. The property is low-key, nothing flashy, but comfortable -- and quiet. Good choice for a family vacation.

Fabulous home to stay at!!

I stayed in this home for 10 days and had the time of my life. This home is a short 2.5 miles from town and about 2 blocks off the main road but far enough that you do not get a lot of traffic. It is a 10-15 minute walk to a fabulous little beach that is never crowded but visited by turtles every day with a small bay that you can do some snorkeling in. Beautiful home that is open and airy. Large family area downstairs that is open to the kitchen. There are 2 lanai to choose from for outdoor relaxing. This is a gated road so there is no external traffic. Also a quick walk to the open air market down the road. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Poor maintenance and communication

AC was down from day one. I called for someone to come fix it and the failed. They say maintenance person came to fix and solve the problem. But no they failed. AC breaker keeps shutting off. From day one until check out. NO AC! Very hot and uncomfortable place with no AC. Everyday I bugged them but they failed. Very poor communication. I wouldn’t recommend staying there. Parking was too tight and very dark.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 2 November 2023
We understand that this guest had some concerns during their stay, and we appreciate the opportunity to address them. We take our guests' comfort seriously and want to clarify a few points regarding their feedback. While the guest reported issues with the AC, our maintenance team responded promptly to address the situation. During their multiple visits, the AC was found to be in working order, and we suspect that the issues may have been related to the usage, as the screen door was often left open and kids were running in and out while the AC was on. To ensure optimal cooling, we recommend keeping the doors and windows closed when using the AC. Furthermore, we noticed that the guest had four cars during their stay, even though our listing specifies parking space for two cars under the carport. We understand that parking can be tight, and we appreciate our guests' understanding and cooperation in adhering to the parking guidelines. We value clear and open communication with our guests and regret that this guest felt communication was poor. We strive to be responsive and attentive to any concerns or issues that may arise during a stay. We hope that these explanations provide some context to the guest's experience. Our home is located in a peaceful small gated community off Alii Drive, and we invite future guests to experience the comfort and serenity that many others have enjoyed during their stays with us. Your comfort and satisfaction remain our top priorities, and we look forward to welcoming you to our hidden gem of a home.

Nice and clean, well appointed and decorated

Seven of us stayed for five nights in mid July and the place worked out well. Lots of amenities that we used including some of the snorkeling equipment and the boogie boards. There were folding chairs for the beach along with a small foam cooler, beach mats, a couple of pairs of surf shoes and a variety of sizes of snorkel fins. Inside the house the kitchen had a lot of storage containers, a spice rack, and cooking utensils. AC was nice to have, we had a bit of a heat wave while we were there. There's no sofa sleeper any more, but there is a nice inflatable queen bed that I preferred anyway. The Internet stopped working but once we pressed the recessed reset button on the back of the modem, it was good. When I booked, the listing said it was a 5500 sf house, but that is the lot size. The house is about 1319 sf according to zillow, (but zillow says it's 3 bath when it's really 2 1/2) but it was enough space for us. Hopefully the listing will be corrected soon if not already. Overall a great experience!

Substandard cleaning service.

The house is situated on a quiet street with a gate access. I have asked for an early check in and we were allowed to check in at 1PM instead of 3pm, but the house was not cleaned. I have called the office to get it remediated. The cleaning lady showed up around 1:30PM and as she was cleaning the house we noticed that she did not change the linen but simply "made the bed". When we asked her about getting the linen changed she stated that she "was not told to do it." She left around 3:20PM and left a dryer full of wet towels. All the linen and pillows were filthy and smelly, clearly not washed or changed for weeks! I had to call the office again to get this resolved. Ended up spending the rest of the day shopping for new linen and pillows (which was only partially refunded to us) and making our beds (hardly an expected start to our vacation). Our cleaning fee was refunded and we were allowed a late check out on the last day. Overall I do not recommend staying in this house as you risk sleeping in a dirty bed unless you are ready to do all the work yourself upon arrival (small dryer and washer are not up to the task).

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. This lovely property is located in such a perfect part of town, short walk to alii drive, close to restaurants/shops/beach and more. It has everything one could want while away from home, and best of all it is affordable when you compare to hotel prices in the area. We take every review and feedback seriously and as a result the housekeeping team has been terminated and replaced. As a property management company here in Kona we always want to be sure our guests are satisfied; we refunded you for all items you purchased, refunded your cleaning fee and more. Your concerns were also addressed while you were here via phone and immediately remedied. We do hope that the overwhelming positive 5+ star reviews on this property will not deter future guests from booking with us. All the best, The First island Realty team
