This house worked perfectly for our group of 7. It's all about location and the view off the lanai for this one. We would spend the day out exploring the island and then come home to use the pool and watch the sunset. Having the grocery and restaurants so close by was a plus for sure. We would stay here again for sure and recommend to anyone. The views of the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing while relaxing out back will stay with us forever.

Having all the kitchen and bathroom necessities on-hand was appreciated. This benefit saved us lots of money. The home was nice and clean. With that said being a home and a home located on the ocean there is always something that needs attention. Just let Sandra know. If it can be fixed easily it will get done. If not she will let you know. Enjoy Blue Hawaii. ALOHA..

We loved our stay. The home is very comfortable and homey. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen for all the meals we prepared for our group of 8. The beach equipment was nice to have for our day at the beach. The view can't be beat. We would definitely stay here again.

The lanai was perfect ! Great for meals, relaxing on lounges and a great view of ocean. Kitchen was well equipped, could not figure out how the ceiling lighting/fan worked so it was a little dark with just the under counter lights. Pool and hot tub were good, not sure if it is the norm in Hawaii but hot tub never really got hot, maybe 90F max. Would stay again as it was great for our family of 6 adults and 3 children of various ages.

After seeing the pictures of the place, one might think it is too good to be true. Believe it or not- this place is even better than the pictures! Everything about this house is incredible. Sunsets from the deck looking over the ocean. An incredibly spacious and clean house (my family of 6 stayed there with PLENTY of room). Honestly, our family did not want to tour the rest of the Island because we were so obsessed with this house! The pool and hot tub were incredible, and being a stone's throw to the ocean simply made our family have a once in a lifetime vacation. Dealing with the owner was truly easy and she was so helpful, patient, and quick to respond. We cannot wait to go back again as I would book it again in a second! This house is a must!

We had a group of 6 adults staying at this property. The location is perfect. There is a rocky beach you can walk to in a couple minutes as well as a harbor you can swim in a few minutes further. The harbor is also where most of the manta ray snorkeling trips leave from and you can watch their lights in the evening. Some of the best snorkeling on the island is only a 5 minute drive (or easy to walk to if motivated). There’s a plaza with grocery and dining options very close as well as the outrigger hotel with a market and restaurants. Location is definitely the highlight of this property. Waking up every morning and enjoying coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean was amazing. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and even has 2 sinks and dishwashers which came in handy with our group of 6. The downstairs closet had a good sized cooler as well as beach chairs and a boogie board. Perfect for a day at Magic Sands Beach, that is also just a few minutes by car away. One thing to be aware of is that the two queen bedrooms are next to each other separated by glass doors and curtains. The room to the outside does not have ac. Honestly, with how close to the beach you are ac is not needed as the breeze and the fan does a great job. I’d definitely stay at this house again if traveling with a group. We all left with a true feeling of Aloha and can’t wait to get back to the island.

Our family of 9 enjoyed the house and the location very much. We had everything we needed in the house or close by. The pool and hot tub were a nice addition that the children really enjoyed. The location is very good allowing you to walk to the black sand beach or boat harbor with ease. Many other attractions are within a 20 min drive. My only two criticisms are that the house and furniture are a bit worn and could use attention and the lack of AC is the common areas of the home can be a bit of an issue when the weather is warm. Temps averaged between 76-80 degrees during our stay and it was quite hot inside the house even with all the doors and windows open and the fans running. Having AC in the bedrooms was a blessing. Our overall experience was a good one and I would recommend the property to others.

Very relaxing for a post wedding family getaway. Path down to water next to the house. Plenty of privacy for the 4 of us and a great room to be together for sunset.

From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the impeccable cleanliness and attention to detail. The pictures simply do not do justice to the breathtaking view that greeted me every morning. It was like stepping into a postcard. The location of the house is absolutely perfect, with so much to see and do in the surrounding neighborhood. In fact, my plans changed significantly because I couldn't bear to tear myself away from the beauty of the house and the mesmerizing ocean in the backyard. It truly felt like a slice of paradise. I cannot recommend this home enough to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable vacation experience. The combination of the stunning views, the pristine cleanliness, and the endless activities in the area make it an absolute must-visit. Don't just take my word for it, go and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Property and view was incredible!! Like other reviews said, the photos don’t accurately depict how amazing this place is! Well stocked with toiletries, cooking supplies/utensils, and all the comforts of home. We traveled with 2 kids (infant and 3 year old) plus 4 adults and there was more than enough space. Did not have to rent a pack and play or high chair as the unit came with them! Most time was spent in the pool or on the lanai, enjoying the ocean view. We loved the (basically) private snorkeling beach. Like other beaches in Kona, it isn’t a sandy beach but just throw on some water shoes and walk down to see all the beautiful sea life Hawaii has to offer. We would stay there again!!

The house was easy to locate, great for our family after long flights from Australia, WA, CO. We felt right at home, having already assigned bedrooms based on VRBO photos. No squabbles. Sandra was very easy to work with. Super communication

This house was so much better than the pictures. The location, right by the ocean with a lot of places to walk around in spectacular beauty was the best possible place for our family. The shops and restaurants are close, the activities are close, yet the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed down to spare toothbrushes ... the owners have thought of everything, including fencing in the pool to keep it safe for little ones. Beach equipment, pool toys, baby things, games in the house, comfortable furniture, kitchen tools; we literally just had to unpack and had everything we needed for 10 days, other than groceries. The manager, Sandra was helpful and responsive and made sure our stay was all we had hoped it would be. I highly recommend this place for an amazing vacation. We hope to be back.

Our recent stay was outstanding. We were a family with our grandchildren. The house had everything that we needed, the kitchen was well stocked and the location was wonderful. Stores nearby, walking distance to a marina and could snorkel right by the house. The puzzles were a huge hit. It was like being home. Everything was very comfortable and would definitely stay again.

The house is beautiful, the location was great. We had 8 people in our family ranging from age 7-63 and we had everything we needed. The ocean is just a short walk away, but you can just sit on the deck and watch/ smell it. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook several meals helping to cut costs eating out. The pool was relaxing. A few minor hiccups but I would stay here again if I were to do it all over.

The pictures do not do this house justice !! This comfortable house with all the amenities you could think of and then some, with it's amazing view and perfect location made our Hawaii stay the best vacation we've ever had. Sandra was friendly and helpful. Check in was easy. We couldn't have asked for more and can't think of anything that needs improving. The beds were all comfortable, the house was extremely clean upon arrival, the neighborhood felt very safe with great places to walk around. We will definitely be back.

From beginning to end, this has been our most favorite rental to date. Yes we've stayed in more up-to-date places or locations closer to the water, but if taking the whole package into consideration (communication with owner, views, cleanliness, location, amenities, the lanai, the POOL!!!) this house was a hit for our two families. So happy with our entire stay, and would absolutely recommend!

Wonderful stay. Great home . Fantastic view. Great location. Look forward to staying here again.

Good

This was the first time I was gathered with all of my sons together since the unexpected death of their mother (my wife) four months prior. The property is quiet and restful, yet close to the kindnof activities we wanted to share. Thanks for helping us be close

Beautiful home in a beautiful location!

I would highly recommend this stay. It is a wonderful house, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful pool with ocean views right at your steps! there is absolutely nothing missing from this house for a wonderful vacation for friends and family. I will be back on my next visit to big Island.

This home comfortably accommodated our family for ten days. It was well stocked with supplies and the pool and hot tub was an extra blessing.

This property was amazing! The location couldn’t be better - Central to everything, close to groceries, right by the (rocky) beach, beautiful view. The swimming pool and hot tub were so nice to come back to. The house had just the right amount of space for 8 of us. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was very, very clean. And communication with the manager was super easy. We would love to come back here!

My family and friends stayed at this house for the week and had a wonderful experience. This house truly feels like a home. The design and decor is beautiful. The views of the ocean are wonderful and watching the surfers as we ate lunch was a treat. The kids and adults really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We're so glad we chose this house and hope to come back again!

The view is never-ending. From sunrise to sunset. Such a joy to enjoy the lanai. The pool, hot tub, bird calls, neighborhood walks, Keauhou Bay and Canoe Club. Even the wild turkeys cackling at cars on the street. Can't think of a better and more relaxing vacation. Plenty of room for guests and entertaining. Sandra the manager is wonderful. 4 thumbs up.

Home was perfect for our family. Wonderful location. Best vacation rental!

This was a perfect place for 8 family members to celebrate a 70th birthday. The house has a beautiful deck with lovely sunset views. Plus, a pool! The kitchen was well equipped. It’s close to a small shopping center with grocery and restaurants.

Everything you need for a fun family vacation.

The house was amazing. The location, the grounds, the pool, the view, etc. it was stocked so generously that we felt like guests in their home. Not customers. Properties like this are our faves. Owners and management that really care and think of the extras to make you comfortable. Sandra was so helpful from the start and she couldn’t have been any sweeter. Despite what some others have said, we loved seeing the geckos in the house. 😉. Made it fun. You will love staying here. Our family needed some R&R and some laughs together after losing our son this year, and this was perfect for us. Thanks so much, Sandra.

If I come back to Kona I would def stay here again. Beautiful house, great location and lots of space. Loved it!!

Just far enough away from everything, and still close enough to everything. The place itself was a comfortable stay for me and my family, and everyone loved being able to just relax and gaze at the ocean, or hop in the pool at any time.

What a wonderful property! The home is laid out in such a way that everyone can spread out and feel like they can go off and read wh8le others watch a movie or play a game. It is incredibly well equipped - anything you need to cook, serve, or store food is there - even 2 dishwashers! The pool is wonderful especially because you really can’t swim at the little cove you can see from the deck. The description of the home says you can walk to beaches and stores, etc - I walked all around that neighborhood and did not see any beaches other than the canoe club and your really can’t swim or hang out there. Walking to restaurants or stores - its about a 15 min walk to a small plaza but you have to cross a pretty busy highway - and there isn’t a grocery store there. That being said, you can’t go wrong renting this lovely property - its really quiet and yet close to everything.
