We chose this listing for our vacation due to modern design and air conditioning for the entire house. The house is beautiful, the host was fantastic, everything was clean, we appreciated the extended supplies (eg ziplock bags, laundry detergent, etc). When we arrived for check in, we found out that the AC was broken for the entire first floor (Ohana, one king suite, and kitchen/dining/living areas). Luckily the AC was “repaired” the following day, but it took two additional days for the king suite to come to a sleepable temp and the Ohana’s stopped working again. The AC was limited in all areas to only go down to 72F, which is only marginally colder than outside (70-80F daily). Even with this low bar, the AC was often not able to keep up. It seems that the AC system was poorly designed and does not meet the needs of the size of the house, even when it’s not summer time. We chose this house because it was large and all air conditioned so we would have privacy, but we ended up all huddled up in the same area of the house where it was coolest.The hot water was also a bit of a disappointment. It generally didn’t exceed 105F which I consider barely lukewarm. We mentioned this to the host and it was briefly hotter, but overall I think this system was also not properly designed for the size of the house. Hot water pressure would drop off dramatically if two fixtures were used at the same time, which really makes no sense considering this house has 5.5 bathrooms.

Beautiful large modern house in gorgeous location. Has to be one of the best on Kona coast. Management also very attentive. Downside were a series of mechanical shortcomings with the house, which I would hope don’t exist at this price (Manager addressed what they could and very quickly) Also agree with previous reviews about not enough hot water capacity for 5 bedrooms. All that said, can’t replace these views and location for a family gathering. Loved it!

A wonderful property that our group of 9 really enjoyed. Host was great whenever we needed anything. Property was exactly as described. Nothing like watching the whales from the Lanai with a cup of coffee every morning. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

While the house kept what it promised it was annoying, that the construction work took place the whole week on both sites directly neighboring our house. Heavy machinery busy with excavations have been our daily "company" which was not very pleasant. Besides that, for somebody not permanently living in the house the smart home solutions / electrification was rather a pain than a blessing.
