We loved the location of the house. The house has that old Hawaii feel. The newly updated kitchen countertops were a plus!
No issues with the property. Will book again next year.

Lovely location, really couldn’t be better. While the photos do give an accurate picture of the dated decor, what they don’t show is that it has not been kept up in the interior. The cabinets are falling apart in places, doors delaminating, and tongue and groove boards have stains. The downstairs bedrooms are accessed via walking through the garage. King bed is downstairs, and you must reach it by walking through the jack and Jill bathroom. We saw kitchen cabinets waiting in the garage, so I hope a rehab is planned for the near future. The cleaning could be better. Again the location and view are amazing, so I hope good things are in store for this property.

This clean, spacious home was the perfect base for our family of four, with two bedrooms on the ground level so that each of our children could have private space while we explored the Kona side of the Big Island. A well-stocked kitchen allowed us to cook our own meals and store leftovers. Best of all: The home sits on the shore of Kealakekua Bay (a marine life conservation district), boasting breathtaking views, ocean wave serenades, and immediate access to swimming and snorkeling (a 1-minute walk from the house). It's about a 30-minute drive to Kailua-Kona, but we enjoyed being away from the crowds. Would 100% return and recommend to others.

This is an amazing place to be. Such a short walk (less then 1min) to Manini Beach and good snorkeling access to the amazing marine protected Kealakakua Bay. Relax on the porch and head back for more time in the water. Can't wait to visit again.

The house itself was amazing! The views were spectacular, the location was incredible, and the amenities were very comfortable. However the beds were not very comfortable to sleep on across the board and we were somewhat disappointed with the mattress quality for the price of the rental.

Very nice Hawaii style single wall home that happens to be in a perfect location. A little awkward on the layout, but who cares. Everything you need in the home, and the kitchen. Lanai is priceless.

This perfectly located vacation rental has been a favorite of many families over the years. We loved being right on the bay & falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Sadly, there has been overdue maintenance that is being ignored, & with a change over from Turnkey/VRBO to Vacasa, the attention to customers is lacking. We have stayed in many vacation rentals & there's always a binder with house information to welcome us. In this house there was nothing at all. Our frustrations began when we arrived an hour before check-in & could not get in with the access code. Tried calling to talk with someone & waited forever to get a real person. Even though the place had clearly been cleaned & previous renters gone, we could not get in until 4:00PM. We made a list of frustrating maintenance neglect: upstairs bedroom sliding door falls off every third time it's opened, lockbox on back door so rusted that we couldn't return keys to it when we were leaving because it wouldn't close, two lights didn't work in upstairs bedroom (one by the mirror, & one in the bathroom over mirror), only two kitchen towels, no handle on BBQ lid, curtains in downstairs bedroom so tight on rods they wouldn't slide open or closed, upstairs main sliding doors to dining room very difficult to slide & lock. Nice bed linens, bath towels, & many kitchen tools. Missed a blender, more beach chairs, beach towels, & boogie boards.
