We had issues on arrival where the outdoor water connection was flooding. Host saw to it immediately, we were told that the pool was good to use but my family didn’t feel that it was useable.Unit 2 in the house had issues with the bed where what looked like termite droppings kept appearing under the bed in the daily after we vacuumed. Will share photos, wasn’t an issue but wanted to inform host.Downstairs bathroom had a lot of bugs coming up from the drain pipes which looked as if the house wasn’t used in some time, they were gone after we flushed the drains a couple of times with hot water.Overall the location is beautiful, Joe the maintenance man was so friendly and took an interest in making our stay memorable.The house has its quirks but all in all the property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay for the most part

It was a lovely house with the capacity for a lot of people to stay there. The view was lovely and the location was great. The busy road in the front of the house was loud and was frightening when pulling out or parking. The pool was smaller than the pictures showed but the kids loved it anyways! We were disappointed the hammock was unusable and I reported that but it hadn't been fixed by the time we left.I miss listening to the roar of the ocean.

The house was beautiful with an incredible location.My only complaint was that the water heater could use an upgrade. I was in bedroom 1 and getting a hot shower was a challenge.

The ocean views are spectacular and the location in Kona is great, close to attractions and restaurants. The house is spacious and that second level lanai is the main attraction. That being said, the home itself is older and tired. Repairs and maintenance are sorely lacking, the interior finishes are rocking a 1980’s vibe and the furniture is showing its wear. There is a not insignificant bug problem, mainly because certain doors, windows and openings are not completely sealed or are broken. The house could use a deep cleaning, as it appears the turnover staff does the bare minimum between guest stays. The upstairs beds are comfortable but the downstairs beds, especially those in the room with the bunkbed, really need replacing. The lack of air conditioning in the upstairs main living and kitchen area is disappointing, as that is the main entertaining and living space - sure you could leave the lanai doors open, but then risk the mosquito invasion that will occur. The pool and hot tub need more maintenance and TLC than they are getting. The grounds themselves are beautiful and welcoming. Some guest reviews note the difficult parking situation and trying to get back out onto a busy road - we managed it ok. That is just what comes with getting an oceanfront property in this location. Overall, this property has a ton of promise - it just needs some investment to fix and improve the interior. Full window and door replacement and upgrading the A/C situation would be a good start.
