Location was fabulous and house was just what we needed.

The owner was very responsive to any issues we had. The house is comfy.

I didn't hear any complaints from the guys ... which never happens ... so I'm assuming everything was perfect. Thank you so much.

Wonderful host , great house close to the airport . Upgraded appliances and amenities. Host is thoughtful and has everything you need for a wonderful vacation on the big island . Loved our stay

We really enjoyed our time here. The house is newer and has all the amenities one could want or need. We loved the ocean views, the animals and the secluded feel. Its fantastic for families. Would stay here again!

We had a great stay. Beautiful home, very clean with everything we could need. A cozy deck with an amazing view. Easy, quick drive from town. Would highly recommend!!

This property & house was fully equipped for our family to have a great vacation. The house was tastefully decorated and had a lot of extra items for the beach. We will recommend this to anyone without hesitation.

Everything we hoped for and more! Easy checkin. Beach gear to borrow. Property in excellent shape.

Enjoyed sitting out in the balcony, and seeing the goats. Glad to have bogie boards. One inconvenience was not having a garbage disposal.

We had an awesome trip to Kona and a great stay at the Blue Marlin Lodge. A beautiful home with a beautiful view. The house was very clean and well appointed from plenty of extra linens, to kitchen supplies and comfortable furniture/bedding. Shawn and Kimberly truly go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need for your stay. We arrived and found a plethora of brand new baby and kid items which made the stay with our 4 and 1 year old nephews that much nicer. Activities and beaches were all a quick drive and the home came with lots of great beach gear (pop-up shelter, beach wagon, rolling cooler, boogie boards, towels and snorkeling gear). Don’t forget about the neighbor’s goats and cow in the surrounding yard - our kids loved feeding them fresh papaya from one of the many papaya trees on the property. The hosts even left some hay for the kids to feed them. Check in was a breeze. The hosts reached out and let us know we could check in early since the house was ready. When we arrived the house was open with fans going and windows open…felt like we were checking into a nice hotel :) Check out was also great. Our flights were delayed for several hours and the hosts graciously allowed us to take our time checking out that day. We cleaned up like we would our own home (excluding scrubbing bathrooms and doing the laundry) and were refunded our cleaning fee. I’m sure I’m leaving off a lot of other great things, but you get it - this is a great place to stay! Thank you Shawn and Kimberly! We’d come back again for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, spacious and the kitchen well-equipped. The mile or so into town was easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend staying at the Blue Marlin!

Loved the views from the house & location to relax after busy day of activities. Property was very clean, and host responsive if needed. Would definitely recommend!

I reviewed this property roughly a week ago when I extended my stay a week because the house is clean, new, nicely decorated and it's in a very good location.

This was a beautiful house located an easy drive from downtown Kona and the beaches north of Kona. My three kids loved the bunk room and the two other bedrooms were very comfortable. The house was clean and looked brand new.

it was a pleasure staying here & the hosts are easy to interact with. an added pleasure is the quiet at night.

Amazing property, very clean, any kitchen utensils you could need, very well maintained and decorated. We felt home as it was ours. Thank you Shawn and Beverly for sharing this dream house !

What a great property! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on the west side of the island (including Mauna Kea). For our group of 7 adults, we had plenty of space. The house is well furnished (especially the kitchen, with just about every random thing you might possibly need). The view over the ocean is beautiful and yes, there are goats that you can feed! :) Shawn and Kim were so kind with a few personal surprises that we really appreciated. We would definitely stay again!

Out of all the places I’ve stayed in when visiting Kona, this has been my absolute favorite! It was clean, spacious, new, relaxing, and welcoming. Captain Sean was very quick to respond and provided some treats for us when we arrived. I hope this place is available when we return next year.

We enjoyed our stay with our family of five for a long weekend. Eating fresh papayas and getting to feed some to the goats and a cow were an added bonus to staying in this very well equipped, clean, comfortable and beautiful home. Beautiful sunset views were pretty awesome as well. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood close to town. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for sharing your home with us. Our stay was just perfect.
