We really enjoyed the house - especially sitting on Heeia Bay, which was so nice we could sit on the porch and watch the waves and listen as they rolled in over the rocks. Note that there is no access to the Bay for swimming from the back porch. It's not a swimming bay anyway. The house itself is large, with 3 bedrooms with their own private entrances from the front courtyard and one more inside. Incidentally, the bedrooms are the coolest parts of the house because the window A/Cs work best in smaller spaces. The main living area of the house got a bit hot in the afternoons as the sun shines directly into the big picture windows and only 2 window A/Cs can't cool that big space. But we were out and about for most of the day, so it wasn't much of a problem. And you can always jump into the pool. The location was great. A big public beach with rental paddle boards is a 5 minute drive north, and just one bay south is where you can swim with manta rays. A grocery store is also only 5 minutes away. It takes 15 minutes to get to town. The only real problem was the driveway was very tight and a difficult entry/exit for the huge SUV we rented.

Amazing location on the bay. The house is definitely a little older and the lack of ac could be an issue but they provided lots of fans and in room ac units that worked fine with the cooler January breezes.

This house has a beautiful view with a great cove to snorkel. The beach is rocky but the water is so clear you can see the fish from the deck. Larry the gardener is fantastic at his job and a wealth of knowledge about the island so be sure to talk to him if you see him. The house layout is great but the inside is very dated. If you like air condition this is not the house for you. The upstairs bedroom air did not work at all and the living room air doesn't do much to cool the downstairs. If you are cooking dinner as the sun sets the kitchen can be extremely hot. There is usually an ocean breeze but not always. We had lovely weather and like the windows open. Great house and location but would recommend some upgrades for the price point.

My husband & I spent our 5 yr anniversary in Kona and had the Best stay at this amazingly cozy house with Fantastic sunsets from the house and pool area. It is located in a Great area close to beaches, golf courses and all the shopping and restaurants you need. I highly recommend this rental and look forward to staying here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Julie

This property was exactly as described. There was plenty of room for 8. The view is amazing right from your deck. We will be back and I’m sure we will stay here again. We had a small issue during check in but it was taken care of very quickly. Couldn’t have asked for better management or owners!!

The house is fabulous. It's in a great central location with easy access to everything. Loved being near the water and also having a pool. Enough rooms for everyone in our group. Mahalo!

Everything was wonderful! The house and setting was the best spot for life and sunsets. The only problem that we had was that the A/C was not central air as advertised. Air units worked well in bedrooms but was not adequate for living areas in the afternoon. Otherwise very nice and so beautiful!

Great vacation for the family
