House was perfect for our family vacation. Location was great to downtown and easy access to grocery stores and restaurants. Outdoor space was awesome and view was spectacular.
The house and grounds were beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, which is wonderful when you're traveling with 9 people! The view was amazing. We loved the pool and hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!!
Kitchen was amazingly stocked!! Plenty of cookware, serving items, and dishes to host the 10 adults staying with us. And the extra refrigerator was a must for a large group. The A/C units in each room worked wonderfully and made quick work of the humidity so sleeping was very comfortable. Property managers answered my calls and questions! Very positive interactions with them. The concierge lined up a fantastic zip lining experience for our entire group. The ONLY improvement we could suggest is for the hot tub the be able to be heated up and used in the morning. The golfers in our group would have appreciated that.I don’t think I could have found a more perfect house for our group! Loved every minute!
The house and kitchen amenities were great. The pool and hot tub were very nice but the pool water was pretty cold so wasn’t used as much as we wanted to. and you could not start heating the spa water until after 2:30 when the filtering ended. It was too cold to use earlier in the days. We felt it could have been filtered during the night so we could have started the heating of the spa earlier.
The house is as described, which isn't always the case with vacation rentals. This house was perfect for multiple couples and extended family. 10 of us (4 generations) stayed for a week and the house was very well designed to allow everyone their own space when needed, but had enough room for everyone to gather for meals prepared in the very well stocked kitchen. Cooking was made very easy compared to other places we've stayed. All the adults commented on how well the house was setup. The host was also very responsive to questions and easy to work with.

The house is just amazing. The views are beautiful, neighborhood is safe and lots of animals around.The kitchen has everything you would need. The 5 bedrooms all have AC and were very comfortable. Our grandkids just loved the pool and hot tub. We just loved the location of the house, easy access to highway and stores were close by. Will for sure stay there again

We’re so glad to hear you loved the house. It sounds like you had a wonderful stay, and we’d be thrilled to have you back anytime.
Great location to Kona. House was lovely. Plenty of room for people to socialize or have time to themselves. Kitchen is well stocked and we found the layout easy for several people to be working in the kitchen at once. While not really a complaint, one thing that might be a nice improvement would be cushions on the lounge chairs by the pool. We totally enjoyed our stay and would certainly come back to this house.

Aloha,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! :) We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration. We wish you safe travels!
Mahalo,
Kona Coast Vacations !
Very clean house and property. Ac in each room was great for our early Sept trip. Plenty of room for each group to have their own pace.
Hot tub and pool combo was a great family activity!
We had a wonderful time in Kona for our family vacation! We had 8 adults (2 parents 6 grown kids), rooms worked out well with 5 bdrm 5 bathrooms :). The hot tub was great for the evenings after a day of activities. Great location, easy to get to beaches to snorkel and relax. We rented 2 cars, parking was safe and easy. New Grill was wonderful! Well stocked kitchen for cooking and serving meals.
We were very happy with how well the house was stocked, especially the kitchen. It easily accommodated our group of 10 and everyone having their own ensuite bath was such a bonus. Used the pool and hot tub daily and enjoyed being able to relax there after a day of hiking and exploring. Location was very convenient for shopping. Would happily rent here again!
We had a great experience with the house starting with the frequent communication with David the concierge. David helped us book several experiences and gave great advice. The house itself was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The house and property were in excellent condition. we were impressed with the initial supplies provided and with the dishes and cookware. The pool and hot Tub were well maintained. The sunset views were spectacular. The location was just a short drive to groceries and necessities. Kona Coast Vacations and Concierge, David,were excellent in responding to any of our questions.
The property is equipped with EVERYTHING. Best house we've ever had regarding that. Bedrooms are very conducive to a family as each has its own bath. Pool nice, common areas nice. Five minute drive to Kona.
Large group for the Ironman. Loved this property. We were nervous about AC only being in the bedrooms but it was totally fine! Great space to spread out. Loved having a wet bar and extra frig. Helped so much with food prep for our large group. Would definitely stay here again!
Lovely place, such a nice property. The fruit on the property is already worth the rental. The pictures are accurate, kitchen fully stocked to entertain and hang out. The rooms are spacious and bathroom is connect to each room.
We loved our stay, everything about the house was as described. The only issue we had was one of the bedrooms had no shower pressure which we had to just not use the shower. We will book it again when we go!!

Aloha and Mahalo for your feedback. We have fixed the shower isssue. We look forward to having you back !
The house had everything we needed for our stay with 7 guests. It was in the perfect location, convenient to stores, restaurants and the airport. The neighborhood and view were incredible. David our concierge was amazing! We were able to book several activities and he helped us rebook two things last minute after one place canceled. Everyone was very pleased and we would stay again.
