Beautiful View, Clean Home, Responsive Host

The home was clean and has a wonderful hill top view of Kona. A few minor items needed attention which the host addressed quickly. I would stay in this home in the future if the opportunity arises.

Amazing Views Perfect Spot

We absolutely lived our stay. The house and location was fabulous. Comfortable for my whole family, two daughters, one grandson, and my sweetheart. We snorkeled every day and did some boogie boarding. Our location was close to some great dining spots, but cooking dinner at home and eating out on the Lanai while watching the sun go down over the ocean.

Wonderful location, frustrating experience

Great house and location overlooking the water with two spacious lanais, a large upstairs area to lounge and cook, and an equally large downstairs area. This place can definitely hold a large group of people comfortably. Located a short distance from the highway and about 20 min from Kona town, my group never felt like we had far to go to either hit a beach or hit the road to another part of the island. Neighborhood is quiet and residential, with Safeway, Walmart, and Costco a short drive away. My three friends and I were excited to check-in here for our working vacation based on the amenities and photos listed, and unfortunately our experience fell short of what is advertised. Upon check-in, we did a quick check for wifi as all of us needed to work during our stay to discover that the modem was not functioning. We contacted the owner and it took a good deal of communication to emphasize that this was one of the reasons we rented the place and that we required it for work. I'll say he was relatively prompt on getting the ISP in to fix it up, but it required getting VRBO/Evolve involved. It also took almost a week to get the code to the padlock on the shed that contained the coolers and beach gear, which were rather dirty and we had to clean. On the whole the place seemed clean enough but there were some notable issues. The master bedroom had a good bit of dirt in the corner of the room by the circular side table, and I was horrified to find the coffee maker had an extremely moldy filter & grounds in it when I opened it up on the first morning. Noting that the last review for the place was 10 months ago in Feb'20, I shuddered to think that it had been left there that long and what else could be left uncleaned. The kitchen had pretty much all the gear we needed, however outside of salt & pepper, there were zero cooking basics, spices, or dishwasher/laundry soap, which we all purchased and supplied the house with. I noticed that was a recurring theme in the other reviews. We had emailed the property beforehand to ask what was there but never got a response. All in all, a lovely location but definitely needs the owner to be little more involved for this to be a great stay vs a good stay with side of headaches.

Great but?

We enjoyed our 2week stay very much. There were a few problems: Had to buy toilet paper The garbage disposal was broken Propane in grill only lasted about 15 minutes The remotes for the tv’s went bad in 2 of 3 rooms so we had to buy batteries. Property manager lives in California. Didn’t know where battery charger was or it was not where he thought it was. Said to send bill and it would be reimbursed. Will do when we get back home. A local manager would be better. In spite of these small issues we had a great time. I don’t remember if the listing mentioned there was no AC but it should I believe. Thanks lots. Chip Smith.

Fabulous stay for the whole family

We were so pleased staying at Dok and Lisa's Kona house, everything was just as described or better! The layout was perfect for the six adults and (well behaved) toddler. We each had a room or area to call our own, as well as spaces to come together and enjoy each other's company like in the open kitchen and living room, or out on the lanai as we sipped morning coffee or watched the sunset. Fully equipped to make meals at home and just close enough to the restaurants of Kailua. Traffic in the area can be a beast at times, but we had no problem using the location as a jumping off point for numerous excursions to the sights of Hawai'i. We were provided a full list of helpful information about the rental as well as great suggestions (most with descriptions) for beaches, restaurants, activities, and other places of interest. Our family had such a great vacation on the Big Island and a lot of that had to do with staying here!

Very beautiful home.

Had everything that we needed except the bottom floor didn't have fans. And at night it was extremely hot, was unbearable for sleeping. We were there during record breaking heat spell and bought a floor fan and that made it bearable the rest of our stay. I think owners should invest in floor and ceiling fans.

Living like kamaaina (a local) for a month!

We just spent a month here. The house had everything we needed to feel right at home. We particularly liked having the fully stocked kitchen plus the high-end washer and dryer came in really handy. Nice big flatscreen tv’s everywhere and a gas grill added to our enjoyment. There’s lots of room to spread out, too. Oh, and did I mention the views to the ocean are gorgeous and we loved watching the sunsets every night. Mahalo, Dok and Lisa!

Wonderful home for our vacation stay in Kona

We had two families of four stay at George's gorgeous home for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The home is spacious, lots of space upstairs and downstairs for the teenagers to hang out and the adults to do their own thing. The balcony view is great, along with sunsets everyday. George was very accommodating and the house has a fully-equipped kitchen and dishware. The location is not far from downtown Kona and very convenient. Mahalo, George!

Too hot to handle!!!!

Needed to buy 2 additional fans to try and cool the house so it was livable. Was not successful even though all windows were open and outside blinds were down in the afternoon. Master bedroom was the hottest and was extremely difficult to sleep. Strongly suggest finding a property a couple of hundred feet higher to get the cooling needed to enjoy your visit. Extremely disappointing for a 32 day stay.

Nice, nice place.... Great value!

The VRBO listing does not do this place justice. Everything was better than depicted. We absolutely loved our stay here. The hosts were exceptionally helpful. They are very knowledgeable and friendly and made the visit to Kona and the Big Island more enjoyable by sharing their knowledge. We enjoyed speaking with him and listening to his great suggestions about what to do on the island. The home was very comfortable, very clean house with everything furnished. The neighborhood was upscale and quiet. The neighbors were friendly. Doc and Lisa have put some thought into making guests feel at home. Their effort to make the stay as good as possible showed! We've stayed in dozens of vacation rental homes in locations around the world. This one ranks in the top 5% and we are planning to visit again next year. Many thanks to 'Doc' and Lisa for their wonderful hospitality.

Boats, cruise ships, paddlers, surfers, dolphins, whales, Kona town (very pretty at night with all the lights) and some real wow sunsets. The owners, Dok and Lisa, were very friendly and helpful and good communicators. Can't say enough good about what a good choice this was.

Sunsets in paradise

A lovely home in a spectacular location. Located above the highway, the slightly higher elevation makes the climate just that little bit cooler and more comfortable, compared to the ocean level. We stayed in the lower level suite which is roomy and well ventilated, nicely furnished with a homey feel. Kitchen facilities are limited but we managed to prepare most of our own meals. The owners are helpful and friendly, and responded to all of our requests. The neighbourhood is quiet residential, so there is minimal traffic noise, unlike all the other places we have stayed. A very pleasant place to stay.

This home is a beautiful stay and experience. My pictures from the lanai don't do the sunsets justice. Everything in this home makes you feel like you're at home ,even better. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful but close enough to town, that shopping and dining are only minutes away. Would definitely return here on my next trip to the big island.

Definitely coming back!

George and Lisa's beautiful home was truly our "home away from home." From the minute we walked in, we felt aloha spirit and were treated to a spectacular sunset view each evening from the beautiful lanai. The quiet neighborhood and central Kona location provided opportunities to explore both the neighborhood and the surrounding area with ease. We especially appreciated access to all the amenities in this home - George and Lisa have thought of everything which made our stay relaxing and easy. Staying here made our first trip to Kona a positive experience - we can't wait to return! Also, if you need a taxi ride anywhere, or would like a local tour, try Danny and Evelyn who own D & E Taxi Company - lovely people!

WOW..what a trip to paradise

We spent a week as at this wonderful residence in October. It is an open layout so the beauty of the ocean can be seen looking out the many windows. In front is a huge full length porch which we ate all our meals on as we enjoyed the breathtaking views. It is located in a residential neighborhood and the vegetation and colorful birds are breathtaking. The home itself is spacious and ultra clean beyond many properties we have stayed at with all the modern amenities you could ask for. It is a five minute drive to beach and many restaurants but you feel you are in a very private location. We were given MANY great tips for seeing the island and restaurants that were outstanding by the gentleman that oversees the property. A big plus for first timers looking for some guidance. Ocean decorations adorn the entire property and the tile sea turtle tile in floor greets you at the front door:). There are many adventures you can enjoy if you want but also a great place to relax and enjoy the views and wonderful home. Our dream is to return to this property and we would give it 10 stars if we could.

This home is located on the south side of Kona and is in a very quiet beautiful neighborhood. If you love to sit on a lanai and watch the sun sink into the Pacific this is the place for you. The home is beautiful and has all the amenities you'd want. The master bedroom is absolutely fantastic. Large walk in closet, very comfortable queen size bed and a fantastic huge jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom is wonderfully furnished and you can lay in bed at night and listen to the waves break on the shore way in the distance. I look forward to returning many times to enjoy this beautiful home and setting.
