The property is nice overall. The house is clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The road to and from it to the main road is extremely steep. At night time the heat was unbearable in the bedrooms. The property manager was thoughtful. The noisy frogs and bird was overwhelmed.

The views from the Lanai were absolutely gorgeous. Black Pebble Beach was just down the road to enjoy the sunsets and the sound of the ocean. It was about 45 minutes from Kailua Kona. The drive didn’t bother us as we drove all over the Island anyway. It was nice to go back to a peaceful community after a long day. Kitchen was fully stocked, beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards. The house did get hot with no air conditioning but we did open windows and doors after coming back and it seemed to help. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home, We would definitely stay again

Beautiful home and very well appointed. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable furniture, cozy and comfortable beds. Enjoyed whale watching from the lanai. It is steep coming and going but certainly manageable, glad we had 4 wheel drive. Description says “ steps from the beach” a bit misleading but doable. We loved our stay, were there for a month and would return in a heartbeat! Both the owner and on island manager were available and responsive.

Awesome place, with everything you need!! They had all the amenities of home. Blow dryer, curling iron, kitchen had all kinds of spices to cook with. Loved the enclosed patio. View is breath taking. Driveway is very steep and you need to back out downhill, but the SUV helped. Truly an Awesome place to stay. We are ready to come back!! Loved it here!!

We rented a car and toured most of the island. Plenty of room for the two of us. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the sound of birds in the evening.
The location is a bit out of the way from any tourist attractions, stores, etc. but we knew that ahead of time.

We had a great time at the house. I would recommend 4wheel drive if you rent a car because the roads are quite steep. This is the price of great views. The house geckos are adorable and we got a lot of good pics. The manager was also kind and responsive.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to a beautiful black rock beach and good snorkeling. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood roads are quite steep so we were glad to have a 4wd car. We visited many wonderful parts of the Big Island and even got to see the eruption of a volcano. Each day we were happy to return to the house, sit on the porch and watch glorious sunsets.

We’ve returned for seven years and hope to do so again. Perfect for families and friends who prefer a lovely, cozy home rather than hotels. Close to 5 of our favorite snorkeling beaches. It’s a steep, beautiful drive down to the property.

Enjoyed the well equipped kitchen! Location to beach is perfect. Having a full kitchen and laundry when away for weeks is super helpful. This felt like our home for the week! We enjoyed morning and evenings on the lanai. We Can tell the house was empty for a few weeks, it was dusty and could have used a clean prior to our arrival.
Thank you! This big Island is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay, would recommend!

Comfortable and well located for our excursions. Nice neighbourhood and well equipped for preparing home cooked meals. Showers were a little cool but not cold. Good stay!

This home is amazing. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights and it was not long enough. There was plenty of room for another couple. You will definitely benefit from a 4x4 staying here as it is right down by the beach and the drive in is steep. The driveway as well. Worth the drive South. This home has everything you could need and more.

The well screened-in lanai made for awesome mornings & beautiful sunsets. We’ll maintained, and accurately described in listing.
Easy to recommend!

We so enjoyed our stay at this home in Kona! Great location for us as we don’t love being in crowded areas/beaches, epic snorkeling at the various beaches near the house, all amenities were present, fantastic view, and a lovely home. We were stoked to be here and soak up with island vines and stunning ocean views.
4.8
My overall impression of the property is that it is in a great location and the owner is easy to contact and work with. He was quite accommodating in our departure based on a late flight. The house is in dire need of cleaning. It is also in need of new window coverings and some basic TLC. While we definitely enjoyed our stay there are other options in the same sub-division that we have used previously that are maintained better. The cleaning fee was steep for the amount of cleaning we did when we arrived and the house was dirty and needed a deep cleaning.

Home exactly as described - great amenities, location, beach access, and views. Spacious with a well stocked kitchen. We spent evenings on the lanai enjoying beautiful sunsets. Outdoor shower was perfect after a day at Pebbles. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved our stay! The house is very comfortable and has everything needed for a wonderful Hawaiian vacation. We did not want to leave and hope to go back sometime soon! Thank you Eric for allowing us to enjoy your home!

We had a wonderful week. This is a beautiful home in a nice location off the beaten path. Wonderful views, great beach down the hill from the home, and easy access to many destinations on the island. The house is very comfortable, extremely well-stocked (including with coolers/snorkel and beach gear), and was a perfect place for our family. Would definitely come back -

The property is perfect for those who want to be away from the tourists and artificiality of resorts. It delivers gorgeous ocean views from the spacious lanai and a home atmosphere that is comfortable and laid back. The property could use a good scrubbing (grimy doors, pillows that need replacing, and kitchen drawers that need cleaning and decluttering.) It involves a lot of driving to get to places like groceries, restaurants, good beaches, cultural sites, and most hiking trails. We were very happy we chose this property, as the experience was what we wanted….the feel of living in Hawaii. Once we embraced that we must drive everywhere, fill jugs of water up the road for drinking and cooking, and we’re responsible to take our garbage to a transfer station, we settled into Hawaiian living quite well. Mahalo for making this experience possible.

What a beautiful rental & spot! But be prepared you do have steep drive in/out to get that breathtaking view. Location is pretty isolated with lots of curvy roads which makes it a quiet spot. The big island requires lots of driving both directions to get around to all the cool places so it was convienent enough for us. Loved all the supplies, outdoor/porch space & the beds were actually comfy. It can get a little buggy if you leave lights on & don't shut the screen door well. Also, drinking water is refillable jugs & you haul your own trash to a dump site 10min away. I think these are pretty standard for the area tho. Grocery stores in the area are not great, prob needed to get groceries closer to Kona.

If you are looking for a place to stay outside of the city, this is a lovely option. Host is always quick to respond. The house is well equipped for beach outing supplies. However, be prepared to drive to everything and bring earplugs for the invasive coqui frogs are incredibly loud from 6PM until about midnight.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice and very comfortable. We were not far from 4 great beaches including the community beach. I would definitely stay here again.

The house is well-equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen, a closet full of movies and board games, and lots of gear for your beach days (chairs, umbrella, cooler, snorkel gear). The location is quite remote and on a steep hill, you need a good car. You cannot walk to anything on foot from the house. The sunsets on the lanai were absolutely stunning. The place was very clean but furnishings and linens are older. Eric was excellent at communicating and was very helpful when we had questions. Mahalo!

We Love This House!!
If you are wanting to be away from the crowds and in a neighborhood setting, this VRBO is the best. Eric, the owner, responds quickly to your needs and questions and the house is clean and simple. The ocean is visible from the lanai. We snorkel everyday and our favorite beaches are near by. Pebble Beach is a short walk from the house. You do need to be willing to drive up a safe but VERY steep and long hill to go in and out. We are thankful that we have been able to stay four different years!!!

This property truly lived up to it's description, and then some. The pictures are 100% accurate!! The house was spotless, roomy and comfortable. The big pay off is the amazing view and the screened in lanai. Waking up to the amazing birdsong and the smell of plumeria reminded you that you were in paradise. The house is about 40 minutes from Kailua, but there are stores along the way, so pick up essentials, on your drive to the house. The only thing we could have wished for was a sand beach, but the available pebble beach was beautiful none the less.
Eric the owner was so accommodating and helpful as we all tried to negotiate our way through this horrible pandemic.
Would we stay at this house again? YES, YES, YES!
Mahalo Eric for letting us stay in your wonderful house!

We loved staying in this house! The whole experience, this house, the neighborhood and the big island of Hawaii gave us the true island experience-which is what we were looking for. We met very friendly locals and felt right at home. We never would have had this experience in a resort. We will always remember this island fondly.

This is a neat property! It is on a very steep road and driveway and about 15-20 minutes away from any store, restaurant or gas station. Pebbles Beach at the end of the road is a nice beach that isn’t crowded. Just a warning, you need to haul all trash out with you, bring all laundry to the laundry room and start a load of towels before you leave. Not sure if I missed this somewhere, but I was taken by surprise.

My family loved staying at this house. From the beautiful view of the ocean and sunrises/sunsets, to the cute green geckos running around outside and tropical birds chirping, to the lush tropical surroundings, this location is perfect if you want a true Hawaiian experience.
All of the windows, fans and two sets of large double doors that open up to the huge, screened-in lanai allow nice airflow through the house and the hotter days. There is a really neat outdoor shower that everyone really enjoyed using and added to the interest of the house!
There is plenty of beach gear that we used every day to drive to the multiple beaches up and down the coastline. There is a beach right down the hill, however we did find it a bit too choppy for our two young children. Still worth a visit though for sure as the black pebbles are super unique. The drive to and from Kona is very interesting with new things to see each time we did the drive. There are lots of neat shops, good food (the coffee shack and shaka tacos) and sight-seeing (unreal views, painted church). There's also a very good grocery store between the house and Kona.
We are giving this house 5 stars as we absolutely loved it and the owner is fantastic at returning messages very quickly.
