We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home immensely, and would definitely stay here again! The updated photos on the listing and description of this property really helped us visualize how we would use the space during our stay.
Communication with our host, Janie was excellent and really helped us feel at ease as we got closer to the time of our visit, during our stay and our departure.
The pool was a HUGE draw and we enjoyed it EVERY day and often, multiple times a day! The gazebo beside the pool and the grill were beneficial and convenient. We enjoyed eating our meals on the deck,, with its gorgeous view of the ocean, sights and sounds of the doves, cardinals, sparrows and myna birds and loved seeing all the little anole chameleons amongst the trees. The outdoor toilet and shower were a huge help to have, especially with a preschooler in our group! The washer and dryer was really nice to have as well. Cooking rice, eggs, portugese sausage and bacon every morning was easy, with everything provided in the kitchen and close by stores like Safeway, Target, WalMart, Costco and a little local store up the road.
Though the house didn’t have air conditioning (as most houses don’t), all the fans, windows and doors being on and open while we were “home” and the fact that the house sat higher on the hill, kept it cool and breezy. Frogs at night along with traffic noise didn’t really bother us.
E komo mai!

We loved the pool, lanai, the location, and the space for our big family to cook inside and outside. We aren’t condo vacationers so this home was a good fit for us.

We loved our stay. It was a comfortable place with plenty of room for our family. The location was good and getting around the Kona Coast area from there was fairly easy. The pool and yard was great. We enjoyed our stay there emensely.

My family enjoyed our time on the big island. The house was perfect for us. A relaxing swim after touring the island was a must. We had zero problems and appreciate that janie was going to be there if we did. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking to relax and have a nice, relaxing place to stay. Way better than a hotel! Thank you, janie, for a very pleasant place to stay.

Janie’s house was the perfect spot for our group of 9. Lots of room for our two families. The pool and basketball net kept our kids going when we weren’t touring the island. Sitting pool side watching our kids smile all day was the best! Bring your own basketball as Janie had 3 taken from the property. We bought one, but took it with us. No sun umbrella on the property so bring one or buy one there. Super convenient address from the airport and for heading into town or going north to Hāpuna Beach. Matsuyama Food Market at the top of hill and in Texaco at the bottom of the hill for quick purchase items. Most of all, communicating with Janie was easy. We really hope to come back to this property. It is fantastic for large family groups. Thank you again for a wonderful 9 days in paradise. P.S. the sunsets are breath taking!

See below for pros/cons.
We had an OK time in this house. The major downside is the noisy street right next to it, which makes hanging out on the lanai to enjoy the sunsets less of a relaxing experience. If you've spent the day exploring the island and then want to come back to the house and enjoy the pool and outside sitting areas, it's hard to do that with cars, trucks and motorcycles zipping by - all going full-throttle due to the steepness of the street.
Some reviews mentioned this and we should have known ahead of time that this will be an issue. Oh well, we still had a good time on the island - it's Hawai'i after all!
Pros:
- Janie, then host, was very responsive and courteous
- the house was clean, roomy, and had plenty of towels
- the provided coffee capsules were a nice touch
- the view is great
- the lanai is nice
- there is a pool and separate outside BBQ/sitting area
- there are lots of birds and their singing and chirping is great
Cons:
- very noisy street right next to the house
- there's little privacy in the pool / BBQ area and in the living room
- the pool / BBQ area is right next to the street, behind a low wall. You really don't want to hang out there, due to the constant traffic and being visible from 3 sides
- the skylight with no shades and the missing blades on the blinds in the bedroom make it hard to sleep in
- either the sun wakes you or (more likely) the morning traffic starting at 6am
- the price is pretty steep, given the negatives

First time using Vrbo and we had an easy experience with the property and host. Small group of long time high school friends here for a wedding. The property made for a good base and place to relax at the end of the day. Based on the photos, it appears the residence was recently updated inside and looks nice. Good view of the ocean. Fair amount of road noise being of an arterial road on the hill side but not a big deal at all. Would stay again!

The location, relative to the beaches we visited, and layout was perfect for our needs. The children loved the pool and the sunset view was excellent. Check in and out was easy and the host was great with communication.

Overall we were very happy with the property. As with every VRBO property the pictures look better than the actual home. The owner was very very accommodating. The view was awesome. The home was nice and roomy. It needs to be updated however as the cupboards and doors are pretty chewed up. With the wildlife of Hawaii it was a little louder at night than I expected. I would go back though...

Communication with host Janie was great and very easy and timely. They responded always in a timely manner and it was very easy to converse with them with any questions we had about the property and check in process. The house was just as pictured and was very clean and beautifully accommodating for a large party, Everything was as pictured and described in the listing. The pool was amazing and so refreshing and the house had many towels to accommodate for my entire party of 7. There’s a full outdoor bathroom which was so nice for the hot Kona days, and the house is in a great location in kona and not too hot like how Kona can usually be. I gave five stars for everything. The neighbors are very close to the house and in close communication with the host. This house is perfect for large parties and was just perfect for mine. I would definitely return again as the entire experience was a wonderful one. One of my friends has a toddler and the property was great for her, big yard to explore and very good view from the house to watch her every move. Amazing host and great property. Stay here if you want to enjoy your Kona staycation/vacation.
