The pictures of those are awesome, but seeing it in person is waaaay better! The location is perfection for a non tourist vacation. Visiting the beach is awesome. We snorkeled almost everyday! Some days we went twice because it’s steps away from the house. The house was immaculate when we checked in. So clean, super appreciate that! Gregg is an awesome host, he’s responsive and gave us a tour of the home and suggested activities to do around the island. We should of stayed longer! 9days is not enough time.

We could have spend all 3 days around the property. Plenty to do- trails, snorkeling, pebble beach. I would recommend it for active people that visit the big island regularly and want to enjoy nature on their own. If you plan lots of organized excursions, plan for about 60-90 min drives to get to them.

The pictures don’t not do the property justice! The house amazing. Everything is very well maintained and well appointed! The host was extremely helpful and easy to work with. The views from the home are amazing. Nothing beats a 2 minute walk to the black pebble beach. Every aspect of this home was above expectations. This was our favorite place of many stays on the Kona side of the Big Island.

We loved our stay in this paradise. The host was great and provided great information at check in. The house was clean and everything as the pictures had shown. The view from the decks are incredible. It is a beautiful quiet neighborhood and all the people we spoke with were nice and very informative. The host provided chairs for the beach as well as snorkeling equipment, which I highly recommend to use at the beach across the street to see the beautiful reef about 20’ off shore. There are several hiking trails adjacent to the beach. I would highly recommend this house and the host. If I’m ever back on the big Island, this is the place I would feel at home at.

The description doesn’t even tough how well stocked and thought out this property is. House is in a neighborhood but feels very secluded and private. Beds were amazing and comfortable (i actually book many listings based on bed reviews). Owner us very communicative and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate another minute if this listing is still available!!! We will be back. Mahalo Gregg :)

Great location . Beautiful house. Could not have asked for more. We didn't want to leave. Thank You !

Everything we hoped for a quiet stay in Kona. It was more convenient to the things we wanted most to do on our short stay...visiting the volcano and snorkeling at City of Refuge. It was fun exploring a quieter area of the island as we had only stayed previously in Kona.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was perfect for our group (two couples) - we were looking for something in a quieter part of the Kona coast, but still reasonably close to food, activities, trails, etc. We loved that we could hike, lounge on the beach, swim/snorkel, all from the front door. We even climbed the hill in the mornings to get a quick workout in! We really enjoyed the Captain Cook area and found most excursions that required driving never felt too far away. The house itself is beautiful. The location, layout, craftsmanship, furnishings, decor (and so on) were all clearly planned with a high attention to detail and appreciation for quality. Gregg was a thoughtful host who is kind enough to share such a special space with visitors like us. Honestly, we feel so fortunate to have stayed here and I can only hope that some day we are lucky enough to go back.

We just enjoyed a long weekend at Gregg's beach house in Kona Paradise, and it was everything I hoped for and more. This is hands down the nicest vacation rental I've ever had in all of Hawaii, and certainly at this price point. If you are looking for a nice vacation in a highly amenitized house that is off the beaten path, adjacent to the beach, but still convenient to the key tourist attractions, this is the place for you! Gregg has thought of everything in this house. The kitchen is well-stocked and has everything needed for your stay, including just about every condiment and spice imaginable. The bedrooms are nice and have A/C, and the outdoor shower in the master is fantastic. The house is simply stunning inside and out, and it sits on the second row with nothing in front of it except a parking lot for the beach. We spent countless hours on the covered patio enjoying the near-unrestricted views, listening to the birds, and watching the surf. We had a great time at the pebble beach out front, and we also really enjoyed the black sand beach which was only a short hike away. Gregg supplies everything you need, including snorkel gear, an umbrella, a cooler, and nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs. And for those wondering, the internet is very good. We didn't use it much, but we had no issues doing basic work and making some FaceTime calls from anywhere in the house or on the patio. I have never been back to any vacation rental in the past simply because I like to see different things, but I will be back to this one. It's a slice of paradise in Hawaii, and you won't be disappointed.

Our stay was wonderful! Gregg called us on our arrival to make sure we got in OK. The house was a wonderful location for us as a base to go north to Kona as well as to head east to the volcano and Hilo. The house was very well appointed and very comfortable. We loved the outdoor shower. Sunsets were outstanding and the stony beach was great snorkeling! We can't wait to stay again!

I can't say enough about the location and amenities of this beautiful house. We watched the sky light up in the morning from the master bedroom and enjoyed the sunsets from the front deck. We took a walk along the black rock path in the evening and utilized the well appointed kitchen for preparing breakfast and a few meals. We appreciated the air conditioning, but really only had to use it one evening as the fans and the breeze kept everything cool. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the lovely outdoor shower which had lovely views while having a great shower. The drive up and down to the house is a bit harrowing as it is very steep, but the rewards were totally worth it. Gregg provided very detailed directions and guides which were appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and enjoy the beautiful views and accommodations.

Stayed here for the end of our vacation. Beautiful and comfortable home. Sunsets on the deck with an adult beverage is a must. Especially loved the outdoor showers.

Gorgeous views, very comfortable home, wonderful outdoor showers. We will be back! Mahalo Gregg!!

From the first evening to the last morning, we enjoyed ourselves greatly in this gorgeous property created and managed by Gregg. The host checked on us on the night of arrival and made sure that we got there safely. Everyday was filled with great views, sunsets, and relaxation. Come to Kona and stay here!

We loved staying at this property. The house is spacious and beautiful, the bed we used was very comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. The view is amazing and we loved the easy access to the beach. My husband and I do a lot of traveling, and this is the best vacation rental we have ever experienced.

We thank Gregg for his hospitality! The house is beautiful and spacious. We loved the location, very close to a secluded beach, amazing sunsets and constant rainbows (for real). The price to pay for this beautiful location is a very steep hike up to the main road and a rather sleepy general area, with few restaurants and stores.

On all three measures, house, location and host this property earns a five star rating! The house meet all expectations while hosting two retired couples for two weeks. Each couple had separate air conditioned bedrooms, well appointed with comfortable beds and adjoining ensuites. Wonderful views from each bedrooms. The kitchen had everything you would want to prepare any meal, large fridge and easy to use dishwasher. Plenty of seating inside and an efficient clothes washer and dryer. Outside was a large deck, both open to the elements and a large covered area, with plenty of seating and/or lounging options. Also a storage box full of outdoor gear, face masks, flippers, beach chairs and umbrellas. The location was the best. The deck (and house windows) overlooked both the pebble beach and ocean and the undeveloped lava field. The neighbourhood was quiet and friendly. At night we fell asleep listening to the waves and gentle wind blowing through the palm trees. Most impressive was the feeding humpback whales. Their blowing sounds were incredible clear. We even witnessed a feeding whale scare a school of flying fish into the air right towards the beach! Gregg the host, made sure the house was not hot when we arrived late in the afternoon. He asked if there was anything we needed ( we didn’t cause every was already there) and he provided great local knowledge about what to see along the oceanside trail (dormant cinder cone and private black sand beach) and the best side to snorkel. As the contractor who built the house as his own getaway it was clear he took pride in the house. I can easily recommend this property as a splendid place to stay. Bernie

This ia a wonderful home in a great neighborhood, amidst the cliffs and trees on the coast of Captain Cook. The outside decks were our favorite, with sweeping views and lots of space. Well appointed with deck furniture for lounging and dinner! The kitchen had evverything we needed, for Thanksgiving dinner and the appliances are well maintained. There's plenty of sleeping space and beds, bathrooms and outside showers were clean and comforting. Our host Gregg was so communicative and wanted to be sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! Love this property, and the entire southwest coast was the perfect peaceful getaway!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home and spent most of our time on the lanai enjoying the view and the breeze. There is a hiking path along the coast just off the black pebble beach, both are worth exploring. Great if you want to bring groceries and just relax. We did a lot of driving to visit various parts of the island and some local restaurants but still enjoyed this location.
