What a view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always enjoy our time here. Well located within walking distance from town and all it has to offer-that is if you even want to leave. We spend most of our time relaxing on the patio, cooling off in the pool, and enjoying the beautiful view. The home is well equipped and the Knutson team are very easy and friendly to work with.

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay here! Location was great! It’s definitely an older house that could use some updates but overall we didn’t have any issues. Be warned if you are tall the fans in the living room will hit you in the face.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a fantastic way to experience the Big Island. Beautiful ocean views and beach area. The house is cozy, and the location just can't be beat. Going to bed and waking up to the sound of the ocean is my idea of a memorable Hawaii experience. The house is very well equipped with all your daily essentials. The gated safe neighborhood was an added plus.

Fun beach house with a pool and a view

We had a group of 6 adults and we all loved this house! The location was perfect with both sunrise and sunset views. It is close to town, but in a quiet, gated neighborhood right on the ocean. We spent a lot of time lounging on the covered back porch and in the pool. It was heavenly to have three full bathrooms! While we were there, some people walked by, said their grandfather owned the house in the 1980’s, and that it was the only home there at that time. The house itself is really cute inside and out. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay near Kona.

Very clean and equipped for any and all to enjoy. Best bargain in Kona Bay Estates and the location on the water can't be beat. The pool is large and very private. Easy walking distance to most anything in Kona Town.

Hidden paradise

We were eight people and stayed at the condo during race week of the Ironman Hawaii. We were overwhelmed by the location, view and interior of the accomodation. It has everything we needed to make it a perfect time in Kailua-Kona. When we had 1-2 little issues (e.g. broken BBQ) the owner/agendy helped us immedatialey and super friendly. If we will come back to Kona one time this would be our first option for an accomodation. Thank you & mahalo!

And you can’t beat the location- just 20 minute walk to town. Knutson is easy to deal with - friendly and helpful. Best of all, Hale Pahukoa has a truly beautiful view!

Amazing location, view, and amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this house. It is in a gated community in a quiet area. The tide pools and ocean out back are amazing. There is a swimming cove a few houses down. We enjoyed the pool and outside grill area. We ate all our meals outside. The inside is a little dated and we saw a few friendly roaches, but we expected these things. The house is very well stocked and comfortable. They have every appliance, plenty of towels, and comfy beds. We hope to stay here again in the future. This house is a gem. The renting service was easy to work with.

Being right off the beach it was wonderful to walk out to the ocean from the back door. The pool was great also. The children wanted to play in it all day. The lanai was wonderful to eat dinners on in the evening. The neighborhood cats were sweet to look at also. An added bonus for us! The description was spot on and our expectations were not let down.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful. Pool + Oceanside = Happy Family. Close to Kona activity (we came for the Ironman), but not in the middle, so you can get away. Outdoor porch was large, we spent most of our time outside (no air conditioning, so prepare for that, but plenty of ceiling fans). House had lots of little extras (dishes, condiments, pool stuff, bikes)

Grear books, gracious home, comfortable beds, AWESOME pool, though not pretentious in all the ways of its neighboring mcmansions. What matters is all there. Whoever owns this place, I like them from the bottom of my heart. Thank you

Delightful ocean front home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at 15 different ocean front rental properties in Kona over the years. This is the best of them all. The house is just right for three couples. The location could not be better. The only fly in the ointment was that the house cleaners had not cleaned the house before we arrived. Knutson bought our dinner while the house was cleaned.

Family summer vacation

The property was in a perfect location, in a beautiful and private gated community with 24/7 security. The house was right on the oceanfront and just a few steps away from a small private beach. Downtown Kailua was easy walking distance, and the home was spacious and comfortable for our family of 6. The sounds of the ocean and waves were feet away. There were walking trails nearby and the airport was only a 15 minute drive. The pool could use some updating but it was perfect to be able to walk out the lanai and cool off in every evening. We ate all our meals out on the lanai looking at the ocean and breaking waves. There was a local mongoose that hung out around the house and we even met several neighbors as they walked out to the beach in the evenings to watch the sunset. The home was stocked with beach and snorkel gear which was awesome as we had initially expected to need to rent this equipment. We took day trips to the South end of the island to Black Sands, the central part of the island to Mauna Kea, the Northwest part of the island and into the Kailua-Kona rainforest for a hike and coffee tour at Mountain Thunder. The hosts/management team were exceptional and always very responsive to any and all questions we had, and checkin/checkout process was so easy. We absolutely loved our stay and built memories that will last a lifetime for all of us.

Kona Ironman 2014 vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came for the Ironman competition, and this was the perfect location for all the activities. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go, and not fight the traffic. The house is in a beautiful location, and has a view that is great. There is lots of room to enjoy the beauty, and a kiddies beach only 4 doors down. The house is well equipped, clean, and nicely furnished. The geckos were everywhere, and fun to watch. The house was everything that we were told it would be, and perfect for 3 couples and two small children, with 3 large bedrooms & bathrooms, large lanai, kitchen, and living space. We will definitely come back to this property on our next visit the the Kailua-Kona area.
