It was a very nice stay. Had a wonderful time with family and enjoyed the house and the pool but we did experience maintenance and pest control showing up unexpectedly, coming through grate with my children in pool gave them quite a scare. Cleaning pool and changing hinges, and asking if they can spray with us there enjoying the out doors. Which is great for pool cleaning and maintenance but we really should have known a head of time. Other than that everything else was great.

House was amazing but lack of a/c in the main living area was tough. At night the mosquitoes would come out and there was no way to close up the space without then being way too hot. Location was incredible. House was well appointed. Kitchen fully stocked.

Wonderful Location

We have stayed in many Kona Bay properties and this house has one of the best locations. Wonderful to be able to open the house up for the ocean breeze and sound of the waves. Large house with plenty of open space. Pool was nice. Very much enjoyed our stay.

The location was great and the house was clean. The main room didn’t have air conditioning but the rest of the rooms did. That said, opening the main room doors helped cool down the area quite a lot. The management team was fantastic. They were extremely responsive and helpful, even after hours and after we had returned from our trip.

Aloha Douglas, Mahalo for your review of Blue Water and we're glad to hear that your group enjoyed the incredible views and wide open floor plan. We must say we are surprised to hear that you found the property to be "old" and that its age impacted you in any way. We continue to maintain the home and improve upon it for our future guests. We would have appreciated hearing from you while you were here or post departure to clarify what aspects specifically you are referring to so we could address them. Nonetheless we hope to host your group again soon and wish you well!

Awesome place to spend the holidays. Definitely was exactly what we needed. The house was unlike anything we’ve stayed in before. Having the bedrooms separate from the main living space was a totally new experience for us. Having the ability to open all the sliding doors on the main floor was amazing. Open air living in paradise. Being in a gated community was great. We could walk down to the Bayfront very easily and enjoy everything it offered. The kids spent hours playing in the pool and enjoying the oceanfront. Walking the seawall down to Keiki beach was easy. Definitely would stay here again. 10/10

Perfect location

House was in a beautiful oceanfront location with beautiful lava rock shoreline and a small beach area nearby. Near downtown Kailua Kona and plenty of restaurants, etc. Rules about AC/wearing shoes may seem unreasonable but weren't difficult, left sandals at door. Living area was best left open. Management was very responsive when WiFi not functional, etc. Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely agree that this house was in a beautiful oceanfront location, and the lava rock shoreline was stunning! Not only that, but it was conveniently located near downtown Kailua Kona and plenty of restaurants, making it the perfect spot for a vacation! The rules about AC/wearing shoes may seem unreasonable at first, but they weren't too difficult to follow. And you were able to leave your sandals by the door anyway. We also loved how open the living area was - it just made everything feel so much more spacious! Lastly, management was very responsive if something wasn't working properly - like if the WiFi had issues - which we really appreciated. Overall, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing place to stay.
