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.

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!

Fantastic View! Really quiet neighborhood. Saw wild goats. Pigs, chickens, all were easy to scare away. No air in house but comfortable for us Floridians! 5 Stars ALL THE WAY!

Wonderful for families. Great snorkeling nearby! Quiet neighborhood.

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.

It is a real gem with plenty of place and what a view! The terrace is awesome and enough for the whole stay!!!

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!

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.

This was a great place to stay. We were two couples and there was enough privacy for both (2 bed, 2 bath). There was also a large area, living room/kitchen that was an open floor plan with french doors open to the lanai, where we spent most of our time. We would definitely stay there again. *Pillows need to be replaced

If you enjoy going to bed hearing the ocean waves, and who doesn't then this is for you. A short but steep walk to the ocean. Amazing pebble beach that sounds so different than a sand beach. The home is really stocked with everything you need. A beautiful overlook of the ocean on the outdoor screened in porch. Would love to return again.

The house is amazing!! The views here are incredible. We had absolutely no problem with anything here. We would most definitely come back!

Emplacement enchanteur avec tout ce que vous avez besoin pour votre séjour, une magnifique véranda vu sur la mer. La maison est située à 15min de l baie Ho’okena ou on a pu nager avec les dauphins 2 jours de suite. Je recommande sans hésiter

Just returned from a perfect vacation on the Big Island. This home is exactly what we were looking for. Quiet neighborhood, away from all of the tourist hubs, yet not too far out to drive to amenities and beautiful beaches. Waking up to only the sounds of crashing waves and island birds was heavenly. This home had everything we could have wanted and more. The owner was very quick to respond to all questions, and is a thoughtful rental house owner in that there has a comprehensive Island Book with answers to basic questions (local attractions, restaurants etc). The views are amazing and we were treated to a very clear night with no moon so the stars were breathtaking, due to the darkness on this part of the island. The owners descriptions were spot on regarding the steep road to the property and the steep driveway up to the house. We had no problem navigating it though especially in that almost all rental cars these days have backup cameras. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again when we return to the Big Island. Mahalo

the house is outstanding with views of the ocean from every room except the second bedroom. property owner was easy to communicate with. there were number of minor maintenance issues (towel rack falling off the wall, coffee maker that would not turn off, BBQ needing serious attention, garbage disposal and drain inoperative) that owner assures me have now been attended to. property location required a lot of driving to get to nearby beaches etc but hanging out on the lanai was heavenly

Amazing stay here. Only a short walk away from the pebble beach, Watching the sunrise or the sunset alone on a hawaiian beach is something to remember. Owner is very responsive too. The place gets hot around noon but really, all of the Island does. There's no AC but with the dans and the lanai it is not needed. We're glad we did get a 4x4 for pour stay. Overall amazing experience.

The house was just as advertised, seamless check-in and check- out process. Very well equipped including snorkeling gear, chairs, cooler, etc. Great location and screened lanai was awesome! I would highly recommend this rental.

Everything about this house was wonderful. Just wish it had a full length mirror. I am super short and could barely see the top of my head in the mirrors. Other than that 5 stars all around.
