This beautiful home was even better than expected! It is walking distance to a beach great for snorkeling & a short drive (5-10 minutes) to another beach, restaurants, & a grocery store (KTA). We had our Thanksgiving meal there and had everything needed in the fully stocked kitchen. There were plenty of beach towels, water shoes, snorkel gear, & boogie boards available. And.....the view! That was the best part! This home was great for our family of 7, and we would highly recommend it!

My siblings and a few friends chose this beautiful home to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays. The location and space was truly breathtaking. The pool turned out even nicer than the pictures showed. We encountered a few glitchy issues with the super technical home systems, but they were minimal impact to the stay overall.

We are a family of 11 (ages 4-76) who stayed here for our family vacation! The house is newly renovated, clean, and the views are amazing! We enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony almost every evening. The location is great and in close proximity to the Kona Village area as well as target, Walmart, etc. It was very useful having a washer/dryer, which is located downstairs. The kitchen/sitting area and bedrooms upstairs are not connected to each other and each has its own door to the outside balcony area. The stairs are outdoors. Downstairs everything is connected. The hosts are very responsive! We were very happy with our stay! I would highly recommend this rental!

We were planning to go to Maui but pivoted last minute due to the fires and Mele Kai just happened to be available for our dates - kismet! The house was beautiful, just a few minor maintenance issues that were disclosed ahead of time. Loved the welcome basket and the sunsets were amazing! Hints: The Nespresso makers use Vertuo pods which weren’t available at the nearby grocery (we buy ours online). Great snorkeling just off the house if you can navigate the rocks. Keep doors closed to keep out the critters (it’s Hawaii). Clarifications: 4 en-suite bathrooms, the 5th is off the lower level living area. No tubs just lovely showers (VRBO listing says combo tub/shower). The kitchen and 3 BRs are on the 2nd level (stairs only) which was a slight challenge for our 80-something year old parents but they managed.

We loved the location of the house. It is far enough away from the tourist area but still close enough to drive up to the shops and restaurants for a quick meal or shopping trip.
The house was well stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. The only thing we really needed to buy was food. Costco and Walmart are 15-20 minutes away. There is also a KTA supermarket right down the street that is much easier to get to.
The house is divided in a way that might be good to know about if you are travelling with children. There is no interior stairway access between the upstairs and downstairs. Travelling between the 2 floors requires that you go outside and use the upper and lower main entry doors. At night, you will probably have these doors locked.
If I had to list a negative, I’d say that the upstairs bedroom doors were a little awkward. They are full-glass and don’t have any shades or window coverings. There were free-standing mirrors in the bedrooms that could be used to cover the glass for a little privacy at night. It wasn’t really a big deal.
Also, get a mask and snorkel. During low tide you can snorkel right outside the house or drive 2 minutes to an awesome beach and swimming area right down the street. Tons of fish!
The sunsets and ocean views are outstanding! We even saw a turtle swimming around the rocks one evening. All this only steps away from the house!
I would 100% recommend this house!

The house has absolutely stunning ocean views. Newly remodeled, the interior is also beautiful. No attention to detail missed. Very well stocked, and beach toys/accessories a great bonus. Owner and management both wonderful. Loved that there are completely separate rooms so our family members could each rest/awake leisurely without disturbing one another. Convenient location, would highly recommend!

Grant and Karen’s place was lovely. Plenty of space for our group and comfortable for all of us to visit with each other. The listing was exactly as described. I would stay here again!
