Excellent location. The temperature in the house stays cool for the whole day. The kitchen has a large counter and it makes meal preparation very enjoyable. Having 2 bathrooms and washer/dryer is also a big plus.We really enjoyed watching the sunset from the lanai and listening to the sound of birds, and many other creatures in the surroundings.

Perfect and beautiful home with amazing views. Everything went super smooth and easy to find. It was in a great location, just 15 mins to everything Kailua-Kona. About 20-25 mins to Waikoloa. So just perfect and beautiful.

The property was beautiful and the view was incredible. However, there was a bug issue in the kitchen and we had to frequently spray bug spray. The owner was very communicative and apologetic though, and assured me this was not the usual situation.

Husband, daughter, and son-in-law, and I stayed for two weeks. The lanai is lovely. The ocean view, the sunsets, the cool breezes, the fragrance of flowers and fruit were perfect. On the day of arrival the owner notified me that the dishwasher was broken, but that he hoped to have it fixed in 10 days. Then, he notified me that it would be replaced next week. That never happened. We handwashed dishes for our entire stay. The owner did give us a small refund, but it was inconvenient. Also not working, but listed as an amenity is the icemaker. We bought and left behind two ice cube trays. We had looked forward to grilling,.but the listed.and pictured gas grill is not there. According to the owner, the fire marshall and his insurance nixed any grilling on the property. He says he has been unable to update the VRBO listing. If you stay here, be aware that the drive to Kona is about five miles. The property sits on a steep hill. That's the reason for the spectacular view, but we had to drive to flatter areas in order to do our daily walk. Matsuyama's is only half a mile away, but it is a strenuous half mile. Grocery shopping is down in town. The beds were comfortable enough. The bathrooms are fine. But, the lack of listed amenities in the kitchen, made preparing meals a challenge. The lanai is nicely furnished. We enjoyed it. But, we stay in VRBO properties to avoid eating all of our meals in restaurants. That was a disappointment.
