Nice gated community. Views and amenities were well worth the stay. David, our concierge, was wonderful and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this house.
Our family had a great stay! Listened to the waves each morning and night from the lanai. Spacious kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms. Super close proximity to downtown Kona. Would stay here again!
The property was amazing for our group. We enjoyed the views, walks along the rocks, and the proximity to many adventures while having some privacy. We enjoyed the open air doors and the round glass table for game playing.
The property was clean and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful. There was so much to do within walking distance. It was the perfect place to stay and relax.
Mahalo for having been our guest and for taking the time to share with us your recent stay. We are pleased to learn that you enjoyed your stay. It has been a pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you back the next time your travels bring you to the Big Island!
We have stayed all over the Big Island and Hawaii. Our group of 8 appreciated the proximity to downtown Kona both for running/walking and dining. Also, the home is located next to a large playground complex. My wife and I joined in open Pickleball a few times. The home is on the water, giving a perfect view. The best endorsement - we have already booked for next year.
I wasnt prepared for how magical this place was. The sunset dinners we had on the lanai with whales swimming by were of particular note. The management company was a joy to work with, super responsive and i felt that they genuinely cared and wanted to make sure we had an amazing time. All in all, we couldnt possibly have done better

The house and the location are simply gorgeous. As you sip your sundowner drink, and stare at the Technicolor sunset, you think life doesn't get any better than this. And then a humpback whale breaches right in front of the house, and you are simply in awe. We loved the house, all the amenities, the perfect location right on the water, the proximity to town and to Honokohau harbor where all the boat tours start. We would love to come back!

Reviewer Comments:
This property was perfect for our group of three couples. It was a short walk to downtown and a great central location for trips to many beach or snorkeling locations. The large main house was a wonderful gathering place with the smaller air-conditioned back house great for sleeping. The kitchen appliances and ammenities could be a little better but is expected in a home rental. We can't wait to visit again.
Itās exceptionally rare that I stay at a property with literally zero concerns or gripes. But, it certainly happened this time. The property is amazing, the location is amazing and the process was super smooth. I cannot recommend the property highly enough. Pay attention to the fact that the main living space and kitchen is not air conditioned - this may or may not be a problem for you. It makes the space feel different than the conditioned bedrooms and maybe different from what you are used to, but it is the price paid to be able to experience the incredible combined inside/outside space provided by the huge folding patio doors and incredible patio. Note also that the pool can be a little chilly because itās not heated and the spa only heats a few hours in the evening. We knew that and none of it affected our enjoyment of the property. 10/10 and will definitely come back again.
We got our extended family together here and had 6 adults and 2 pre-teens stay here. The house and layout was perfect for us. It's great that 3 of the 4 bedrooms are in the back/separate area so that some could go to bed earlier/later and also wake up earlier/later. We could be in the kitchen making noise and not wake up most folks. All the bedrooms have their own air conditioning unit, which made sleeping pleasant. The house is in a gated community, which adds a few minutes to get in and out of, but that makes it quiet even though you're only 5 minutes from the central Kona area. There are two beaches you can walk to, one of which is very calm and protected. There is a nice public walkway that goes in front of all the houses in the community, so there were people walking by the house all day, but we also used the pathway to get to the beach. We used the pool and patio a lot and felt like it is one of the nicest setups in the development. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would go back again.
Aloha! On behalf of the staff and management of Kona Coast Vacations, we very much appreciate you taking your valuable time to provide us with this very important feedback. The owner has replaced the queen mattress, boxspring and frame with a new TempurPedic Mattress. On your next visit, please know that we are available if you need us or if you think the unit is lacking some items. We are happy to help!
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay & hope that we can welcome you again.

The property is immaculate and almost could not be at a better location. Almost and maybe it is a bad the time of year, but we had almost no breezes. The property is perfect EXCEPT for only one issue which is important. The front half of the house is almost not usable except for the kitchen. It was way too hot. No A/C. There are ceiling fans but the humidity makes it unbearable except for early mornings. The front master has an A/C unit but the door is ventet. That makes it damp and musty. Again, not usable. Maybe there is a different time of year than mid May when we stayed when winds are different and not so hot. Otherwise this is a perfect property. The owner and management look after every detail. I hate even mentioning the heat issue. We are from south Texas so we know heat and humidity. Also, while there are fans in the living room, they would not work as though the outlets had no power to them. But for this issue this place is a 10 out of five property.

Aloha,
This home embraces indoor outdoor living in the main living space which compliments the tropical weather we can experience year round here in Hawaii. Most days there is a refreshing on shore breeze that creates a comfortable atmosphere.
This home does offer its modern conveniences, featuring air conditioning in all sleeping spaces to keep guests comfortable over night.
Mahalo,

Great Potential
This property has great potential but has deferred maitenance. The location close to town is outstanding. The views from the lanai are amazing. The waves crashing on the lava rocks and the sunsets are simply awesome. Where this house disappoints is its upkeep. The furniture is dated , uncomfortabe and needs replacement. The cushions for the outside furniture are soiled and need to be replaced. The pool is great but also needs maitenance. The tiles need to be cleaned and the bottom of the pool needs replastered. It should also be noted that pool was serviced once during our two week stay and was withiout chlorine the second week.
We were fully aware that the main part of the house did not have AC. Just understand that of the trade winds are not blowing it will be very umcomfortable.
Lastly Kona Coast who manages the property holds itself out as a "concierge" and they are not.
In summary this home can be a great place to stay but some work needs to be done to get there.

Paradise Perfect
What a wonderful week our family of 7 enjoyed in this oceanfront home
This quiet secure neighborhood location was extremely convenient to everything (downtown shopping district, highway access, food and services) but off the beaten path enough to feel remote
The patio, pool and hot tub provided a beautiful overlook to the ocean black lava rock beach which provided regular soothing sounds of the crashing waves but allowed fo a nearby sand beach (the queens bath) for a quieter water experience
Snorkeling is really not an option here due to the rocks and waves but several short drives away can provide that experience if needed
The home provided all the nice amenities required for our family (a new grill was a nice perk) and the bedrooms provided the cool sleeping arrangements after a sunny day in the pool (or daytrips)
Plenty of fans are included to provide interior comfort for the non conditioned spaces of the home; which were needed on several of the warm and humid days/evenings
The sliding pivot doors from the interior to the deck are awesome to make the home completely open to the ocean (although the south doorway does need some adjustment to allow for a fluid open/close)
The entire family had an amazing week in Kona and this home was the primary reason as it provided a true family bonding environment
Check in/out were seamless and we regularly noted the security guards quietly around the neighborhood which was nice knowing there are a couple of public beach access points open during the day and the nearby ballparks do have several nice and quiet homeless people
Quick note for groceries: head to the Safeway as it has every quality item needed
Thank you for opening your beautiful home to our family for this wonderful week. We hope to return again some day.
Excellent communications and follow-up with management company. Great ability to reach them during off-hours. Beautifully appointedāhas everything you needāand more. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The only downside was entering the neighborhood after dark on our arrival day. Extremely dark and no way to see addresses. Had we not run into a security guard who was riding around, we would never have found this unit. Addresses are not visible at all at night. Either provide lights on addresses or tell guests how many units to pass before they arrive at this address. Would highly recommend this unit.
House is on the rocky coast. No real beach nearby but a very nice setting. It should be noted that you will see and hear the massive cruise ships when they come in to Kona. House is nice. Bedding and beds very comfortable. Plenty on bathrooms Kitchen well equipped but could stand a couple new skillets as the non stick coating is cut up. House has great extras like snorkeling gear beach umbrellas rolling cooler and even a few hand weights to keep your muscles toned. Itās a peaceful spot. Loved sitting outside hearing the surf. We cooked a lot because itās hard to find a more beautiful spot in this area to dine. This paradise comes at a price but for a larger group it would be well worth it. the management was very kind to allow us a later check out since no one was checking in the day we left
We travel a lost and absolutely loved this property. The photos do not do it justice. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked in the house. We completely relaxed and enjoyed the pool every day.
The concierge service was very helpful. The only downsides were the unexpected visit from the pool maintenance person, the existence of a public pathway between the house and the ocean, and the back bedrooms were located away from the view and pool.
I don't even know where to start, it was so amazing!! We surprised our three adult children and their significant others on where we were staying. They absolutely loved it and said it was their favorite part of the vacation, the house that is. We were able to all spread out, have wonderful family time, cook together, enjoy inside, outside, candle light dinner on lenai and watch the sunset, sandy beach, Lava coast line and tide pools, views and local attractions. So many things with in minutes to enjoy. I can not say enough about this incredible property. Only negative thing about the home is that it made it hard to leave it and explore the rest of the island. Everyone involved was so accommodating from the security guard at the gate to concierge and Kona Coast Vacations crew. Thank you from all of us making this our favorite family vacation yet!!!
