We enjoyed three weeks at the Kona House of Palms. The pool made this property worth every penny. Very private with lush tropical garden and lava rock waterfall. Great location in secure, quiet gated community. Super clean and had everything we needed for kids and grandkids. Highly recommend.
This property was in excellent condition and was very well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Communication was great, and access via keypad entry was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We absolutely would stay here again.
Sean is great to work with and communicates promptly. The home has everything you can possibly need and everything is in impeccable shape. We enjoyed the pool and pool toys, the BBQ and all of the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and ice chest too! The neighborhood is beautiful and so peaceful. We will definitely choose Kona House of Palms when returning to the Big Island.
Awesome property set up with everything we needed for our stay. Property was a great base for us throughout our stay. Sean was very helpful throughout the stay!
Undoubtedly the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in! The kitchen was so well organized. We loved the outdoor area. Overall great time, thank you!
My family and I stayed at this wonderful home for a few days at the start of our trip. It was in the perfect location, spacious, and the pool was perfect for an evening swim after adventuring around the island. They have everything—extra pool towels, beach supplies, and pool toys! The hosts were also super responsive to any questions I had and was so kind to let us have an early check-in AND late check-out, given their calendar. I would absolutely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Sean and Anjali Ellis
Sean and Anjali call Half Moon Bay, a coastal town just south of San Francisco, home. Sean is a typical Silicon Valley computer geek, and Anjali enjoys helping families buy and sell homes. They lead busy lives, but find time to travel, experiencing different cultures and places around the world.
Why they chose this property
A few years ago, Anjali and Sean took a trip to Hawaii, and fell in love with the Big Island. Trips thereafter led to discussions Kona as a retirement destination, which offers a perfect blend of culture, leisure activities, beautiful drives and diverse landscapes. In early 2018, they purchased this house to rent out for vacationing guests.
What makes this property unique
The house is close to town, in a gated community surrounded by lovely homes and friendly neighbors. Don't forget to wave back. This house has a beautiful pool, enjoyable with plenty of privacy. A path leads to the beach and to town, both easily walkable. Kona satisfies every want: restaurants, shopping and activities.
