We loved the views and listening the waves crash on the lava rocks. The house itself is well kept up and offered right mix of privacy with many nice bedrooms and bathrooms plus great social gathering space. We spent most of our time on the lanai. Pool was larger than I thought from the pics, though do wish it was heated (our only area for improvement). Easy 10 min walk to awesome snorkeling/surfing beach to the south and 15 in walk to Magic Sands beach to the north.

A/C did not work in two of the bedrooms (one off the kitchen & downstairs). Barbecue burners need to be replaced. Flame is very irregular making it essential to move food frequently. Need some larger cups for coffee. All the knives need to be sharpened. Could also use a large frying pan with big sides when cooking for a large group. Good location, garage is a bit tricky to exit because of poor visibility of traffic.

Loved the view and the proximity to the beaches and town. Parking was tough as the property only accommodates two cars, any additional cars would need to park on the street. The house was spacious and we loved the separate space downstairs for our adult children. Great lanai to watch whales and sunsets!

Everything about this property including the views, the location, the well stocked house of games and towels, the fantastic kitchen and rooms were all spectacular. Enjoy a splash in the pool or enjoying your coffee/evening cocktail watching the waves, boats and whales! The beaches were a short walk away and there were many shops and restaurants close by. We had a family of 5 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of space to spread out and sleep and loved listening to the sound of the crashing waves. We area already trying to figure out when we can come back!

Our family loved our stay at this property. The location is perfect. Is close enough to Kona to be very convenient but far enough to be quiet. You can hear the ocean waves and see surfers at the beach to the south. We would highly recommend this property. The hosts had very clear communication and procedures.

We had a great time & enjoyed our stay. Our family group included Grandparents, 3 middle aged adults & 3 young adults (20,18 & 16). Everyone had space to enjoy the company or take a little time to themselves. Pool was great. Downstairs suites were suited to young adults, not likely a good fit for young children. Entry to it was through the outside stairs. Upstairs was nicely laid out & well stocked. Nice to have private bathrooms for each upstairs bedroom. Downstairs shared one bathroom. All had showers. Lots of room for everyone. We were all from the Canadian prairies so the ocean & the waves were a treat.
We had a couple items that needed attention & the property manager was very helpful & prompt in helping us out. Easy to contact thru email.
Pictures on the rental site are quite accurate. Would recommend this vacation home.

The house presented like it did in the listing. It was clean and well stocked with supplies. The view of the ocean was spectacular. We could see whales, dolphins and beautiful sunsets from our deck. There were wonderful sea creatures in the tide pools on the rocks. We all were very happy with this house.

Beautiful house right on the ocean with a great view. Within walking distance of a decent snorkeling area and beginner surfing area. It worked well for our extended family of 8 (ages 8 to 71), with plenty of room to spread out and plenty of bathrooms/showers. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious.
While we were there, a strong storm knocked out power to quite a bit of the Kona area, and when power was restored it had rendered the water heater ineffective (not quite sure how). They sent someone promptly to fix it (thanks!), and while it took a while to diagnose the issue, it was fixed quickly enough that it did not adversely affect us.
There was an air conditioner unit in the downstairs two-bedroom space, but it had to work pretty hard and was pretty loud. The afternoon sun shown directly in through large sliding glass doors. Perhaps there is a way to add retractable blinds that could help?

This was a great retreat. Went there with family for a quick getaway surprise for my dad. The place is very spacious with enough room to spread out for everyone. There is a separate entrance for the two lower level bedrooms that isn't connected to the main home. Not a big deal for us, but I wouldn't put kids down there if possible. Unobstructed views of the ocean, quick walk to the best snorkeling spots, and a private pool when you want time alone. Each room had it's own bathroom (except the downstairs bedrooms) which was a great touch. Private parking garage. Everything was perfect!
There was one thing that freaked us all out (but is just the nature of staying right on the water). There was a roach the size of half my hand from finger tip to the bottom of my palm in the kitchen. I've never even imagined a roach that big in my life. We literally sat looking at it for 2 minutes wondering if because of the size it was some other type of tropical insect, but it was indeed a roach. But the only one we saw. I'm not sure how it got in there, since we were diligent about keeping the screens and sliders closed, but they sent someone straightaway to set a trap which was great. We were leaving the next day, but were freaked out enough to just stop using the kitchen. And we did keep the kitchen pretty spotless based on the handbook guidance. I'm not sure where that bug ended up, but it wasn't in our luggage when we left so good enough. Just keep the sliders closed at all times to lessen the critters I guess. Not even sure if that's how it got in.
Overall, I would stay again but would ask them to set traps before we got there JUST in case.
