overall was a great stay at the property. spacious, clean, and well-stocked with amenities especially towels. also the views are amazing. as the back part of the property faces west, sunsets were visible every single night and also we were able to see the moonset as well in the early hrs of the morning before the sun came up.at check-in, the property was a bit hot since it was in the dead of summer and we did have to use the a/c and it was a painless process since the property manager was easily reachable and professional.the property manager was easy to deal with and communicated well and quickly.staying here i would definitely recommend having a vehicle as there really isn't anything closely walkable from here. the coconut grove marketplace is a few miles away. the property is gated that would fit one vehicle inside.there are a few minor things that could use a bit more upkeep (windows, screens, etc) but nothing that really impacted our stay.would recommend staying at this property

The property itself has a great location and plenty of room. As others have commented, it is not the best place as far as upkeep. Lots of little things that could be fixed (i.e. hole in the kitchen ceiling, broken seals on doors, etc.) I know that bugs are common to the area, but it seemed that there was an abundance. Perhaps the pest control services need to be upgraded.

The house was great! Some of the furniture was a little outdated, but it still was comfortable. The property manager was very hard to deal with, and it does not tell you in the review were in the description that one of the bathrooms is not accessible. so we looked for a house for four couples with four bedrooms and four bathrooms thinking that they were all usable. One bathroom leaked onto the kitchen stove and when we asked about it, he said we weren’t supposed to use it. Property manager never told us that then we also asked for the air to be put on and it didn’t work and we had to have the air conditioning people come out and fix the air. The thermostat didn’t show what temperature it was on and it didn’t go on and off correctly. The house had a beautiful view of the back yard, which was the ocean and it was in good condition but for overall, if a bathroom doesn’t work, I wouldn’t listed as a working one and charge people for it. The only thing the property manager did was refund the air condition because it cost to turn the air conditioner on, I would not recommend dealing with him ever again!

The kitchen was very well stocked. Great area. The view was amazing! Pictures on sight a a little deceiving. The house could use a little tlc. We had problems with the fans, one could be fixed the otero could not. Two of the bed in the bedrooms we broken. The dryer kept saying clean lint trap out when there was nothing in it. It could have been a little cleaner. Our feet were always black when walking on floor without shoes. Most of the outside lights did not work. We called on Saturday for some of the issues and had to wait until Monday for handyman to come.

The location and view from this house was stunning. The sound of the waves crashing all night lulled us to sleep! We saw dolphins and many fish from the lani's. I have to say though that some updating of the windows and screens are much needed. Very tough to open and close! Also, we arrived after a very long flight to a very hot house! We had chosen no A/C, so a good idea for the next renters, to have some windows open the day of arrival to allow the house to cool down.

This house got a billion dollar view but the house needs a major repair. We had multiple issues during our stay (two many). The management was very responsive and gave us a huge discount. They said they will repair the house thoroughly before renting it out again so hopefully it works out. I hope for the best for the management too since they are really nice and I forgot all the issues we had and miss the view already!

Beautiful House on the Ocean
When first walking into the house it is beautiful. It was perfect for our family in the end but would not have been a good choice if our one handicap person had been able to come (no bedrooms on main floor, expect sleeping space in garage). We loved the view and the awesome sunsets. The house a couple malfunctions while there...we were unable to use the upstairs hall shower as it leaked from above through a light onto the stove. Also we had heavy rain one of the nights and there was an area in the 2nd primary bedroom that had a sagging ceiling and water leaked out onto my family's luggage. I spoke with the property manager and he said he would attempt to get someone out to look at it but I never saw anyone during the rest of our stay. Definitely get the AC while at the house. It would be way to stuff without it.

This home was everything we were hoping for and MORE! The deck off the main floor was a favorite hangout for reading or sipping coffee or a glass of wine and listening to the waves crashing. We could see school of fish in the water close to us and groups of dolphins and many boats going by further out. The ocean breezes helped keep the house comfortable despite the warmth and humidity , and we loved sleeping to the sounds of the crashing waves. The home is very well stocked in the kitchen and the clean and pleasant garage has ample beach supplies, including a pop up sun dome to protect the babies (or pale Oregonian adults) at the beach. Our family group of 6 adults and two infants were very comfortable in the 4 bedrooms and the bathrooms are very nice . If we return to KONA we will definitely ask for the same home!

We had 7 adults and one teenager. We loved the location of the house and listening to and watching the waves crash on the rugged coast. It was hypnotic. It is located between two beaches, both about a half mile away, easily walkable. The home is very convenient with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The kitchen is the most stocked with utensils and cookware and bowls of any rental I have ever been in, plus basic food supplies. Lots of balconies for everyone to enjoy. Lots of beach towels for guests to use and water toys (boogie boards, noodles, snorkel gear and beach chairs)
Hope we can come back again.

Loved our stay in Kona. The house has a beautiful view and is located close enough to beach, dining, shopping etc. It was clean and well stocked, but is showing some sign of age and exposure to salt air. That said, I would gladly stay here again next time to Kona

Property is located in a beautiful area. Home itself needs some updating and overall maintenance in all aspects of the home. Pics are a bit deceiving and outdated. However, the sunset from this property is awesome and we did see whales right from the balcony. It was awesome to hear the ocean at night. Plenty of room for the entire family of 8.

The perfect place for our family for a perfect week. At breakfast the first morning we saw spinner dolphins from the wide-open-patio-doors as we ate. At lunch on day 3 we watched a whale swim north along the shore. On our last night we saw an unparallelled sunset. We walked north 5 minutes to go boogie-boarding; south 5 minutes to snorkel. Each night we fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing just in front of our windows. It was brilliant. A few screens and windows and patio locks were rusted shut or open from sea-mist - it made no difference at all to the fantastic experience we had here. We cant wait to come again.

The home has a perfect view and the sound of the ocean waves is extremely relaxing. Kitchen had everything we needed except enough glasses for our group of 6. Dryer worked on and off so at times we had to hang clothes to dry. The outdoor shower and the hot tub did not work but they did send repairmen within 24 hours. The floor was so dirty all of our feet were black pretty quickly. Beds were comfortable but not as shown in pictures. There is not a room with 2 twins but another queen. 1/2 the beach items in the garage are broken and should be thrown out. Comfortable chairs and beds. Excellent location. You can’t hear the road at all which was a concern. Would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the view and location of this oceanfront property (and that the A/C worked well!). The house itself was in very rough shape. The property was very dirty and many things were falling apart, broken or missing. The owner needs to invest a bit in maintaining the home. We enjoyed our stay because we loved the location so much, but at times it was hard to look past the condition of the home.

This house sits on the ocean just outside Kona. It’s big and perfect for a larger family with four bedrooms upstairs. The lanais overlook the ocean with sunsets and even dolphins in view. It is very well equipped and the small pool and warm tub are perfect for families with small kids. Swimming or snorkeling out back is possible, but seems dangerous with a the waves breaking into lava rocks. The problem with this property is the upkeep on this property and the management company. For example, we were quite excited to see bikes in the garage, but they were both broken. Chairs on the lower area , but again broken. Cleanliness was OK. Our big issue came on day two of a ten day stay when in July the AC went out on the upper floor where the bedrooms are. We reported this to the management company no less than three times and they failed to get it fixed for the next 8 days we stayed there and failed to make sure the AC company showed up and failed to communicate with us and then asked us to pay for half the AC bill ($35/night) after checkout since the downstairs AC still worked. Without AC on the upper floors, rooms were 80+ degrees and one guest slept on the couch downstairs to keep cool. Again, great location, poorly managed.

House is well equiped and clean. Tons of towels and Beach stuff. Beautiful fantastic views especially sunsets. We watched a pod of whales about 40 yards right off the shore in front of us! Some maintenance would help - one suite had no AC and the blinds would not go up so no air circulation to cool down. Property manager was aware before we arrived, but no one showed up to fix it. Screens missing from some windows, and some did not open while some did not close. Great hot tub and little pool in front! Ask ahead of time how to turn on the HTub heat. Area underneath the house needs cleaning up and funiture replaced - rusty bench with no cushions and the sandbox was in no condition for my grandaughter to play in. Fantastic well stocked kitchen. Super convenient to shops and beaches. At times the road was busy - for Hawaii- but morning traffic noise was only slightly noticible from master suite. With the Ocean waves so close we all slept well and woke refreshed. We had a wonderful time!

My whole extended family, including my parents and brother’s family, totaling 9 people really enjoyed our stay. The location on the water was beautiful and walking distance to beaches in both directions on Alii drive. We even fished right off the rocks in front of the house. The sunsets were amazing and we even saw some whales and dolphins. Inside, the house had everything we needed. We cooked often while the kids enjoyed the jacuzzi and small pool. Wayne was a great property manager who had the TV replaced when it broke. I would highly recommend the house to anybody who is looking for more than a house on a golf course.
