Reviews

Brent Howell
The house was amazing and the view even better. The kids truly enjoyed using the pool and the pool table. We enjoyed the amazing views for coffee in the morning and wine at night watching the sunset. The house is very roomy and clean, we really appreciated the use of the beach chairs, a nice large cooler, snorkeling gear, and two large beach umbrellas. Thank You! The ONLY complaint I had was a neighbor must have a rooster or something cause I kept hearing it in the mornings. Didn’t bother me at all but I could see how it may bother some. Also, driveway is pretty steep. Again, not a bother to me but may bother others. Would we rent the property again? Absolutely, we LOVED it!

We are former vacation owners so we feel experienced vacation renters. This home was amazing! Owners and management company have thought of everything. Kitchen had everything from both a regular coffee maker plus a Keurig. Lot's of dishes, glasses (both plastic for pool side & glass. We had snorkels, masks, boogie boards, and plenty of beach towels. Pool was clean and beautiful. View from decks were so beautiful. We ate out on the deck for all meals as the view was so perfect. Check in was simple and same with check out. Management company was extremely responsive to everything. Leaking water line was dealth with immediately. New refrigerator was ordered and supposed to be installed after our departure (that was our request as they offered to replace immediately). Lots of games for in home use. Pool table, corn hole, pool toys just to name a few. Beds were extremely comfortable. Ceiling fans throughout home. Really can't say enough about how great this home was. Highly recommend

The house is very well equipped and comfortable. The pool is beautiful and was perfect for our group. One thing to note is the majority of the pool is over 6 ft deep and the shallow end is small. There are 2 bedrooms with A/C, the upstairs master and downstairs queen that faces the backyard. There are fans provided for the other 2 bedrooms which did help move the air, but they were both pretty warm our whole stay. The 4th bedroom has a bunk bed (twin over full), a separate twin, and a trundle bed under the bunkbed, which was great did the kids. The house is well stocked with linens, kitchen supplies, pool/beach towels, etc. There is also a good selection of beach gear including a cooler, 2 chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, life jackets, some snorkel gear, etc. We were told the house didn’t have any of those items, so that was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it was a great stay for our group of 8!

The house had everything we needed and more. The pool is very well maintained, the grill is fantastic and having a good spot in town was key to our successful time here in Kona. Will definitely be back. Booking was simple and check in was even easier. 10/10
