There were three couples staying here to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We loved the place. Very clean, the pool, hot tub, and outdoor area were amazing. Also loved the basket of snacks for us, a nice added touch. Thank you!!!

Very responsive, clean, and just as pictured. The back yard was so pretty and had us feeling like we were in our very own resort.

Amazing location, private and not far from town. This was an oasis that felt like home away from home. Excellent communication with the owners. Would love to come back.

Wow! This property was amazing. The photos on line were great and enticing: but to experience the beautiful park-like setting; mesmerizing blue-water views; refreshing pool; and making family dinners in the beautiful kitchen- waking up to the birds singing to do it all over again was amazing. Looking forward to going back soon. The location was close to restuarnts and shopping. It was a "grand vacation" with my family. Mahalo!

Definitely scored finding this place for Ironman. We loved everything about this house, and have already recommended it to friends who are planning a Big Island visit. Unbeknownst to us, the south end bike turnaround was just up the street. Communication was perfect. Sean was beyond a gracious and accommodating host. Thank you! We miss it already. Mahalo!

This is one of the top places we've ever rented in Hawaii. The property was spacious, well furnished and easy to find. I loved the electronic lock system. No more keys! Kitchen was very well stocked with quality cookware and SHARP knives. Thank you so much for this! Beds were comfortable and super stylish. Home felt well cleaned and smelled fresh. Enjoyed the pool and hottub. So much fun and relaxation. I can't wait to come back!

Our stay at House of Palms was wonderful. The house is beautiful, and well equipped. Everything we needed was provided. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and the beautiful view. We had fun playing with the badminton racquets and although we didn't use any beach gear, there was a lot of it! I would highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Kona.

I can't say enough great things about our stay at the Kona House of Palms. First of all the home is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and decorated with such care and wonderful style. It might sound odd, but the color schemes were particularly lovely and relaxing. Second, the grounds...what can you say about that pool and the gorgeous gardens. They were absolutely spectacular. The location is terrific, very convenient and even walkable to the beach and other sights if you so desire. It's a very nice, gated community with the best neighbors, too! Bob across the street was so welcoming and kind, even giving us a coupon he had for a restaurant we were visiting to celebrate a birthday. Couldn't ask for better neighbors. But the absolute best part of the whole experience was dealing with Sean and Anjali. They were terrific throughout at communication, but they really went above and beyond for us the day we arrived. We had been coming from another vrbo on the Hilo side and had a long lag time between checking out there and checking in at this property. On the day of our stay, I asked if we might be able to store our things somewhere at the property before official check-in, since I didn't like having all our belongings in the car as we killed time. They were so gracious about this request! They not only said it was no problem, but we were able to leave our items in the garage while cleaning was occurring, and then they moved everything into the house for us before we returned for check-in. We had an opportunity to meet them, and they were so lovely and welcoming. These are A++++ host and hostess. Thank you!

This property was absolutely beautiful! The yard is private. The pool and hot tub were amazing. The house is so light and bright - we caught beautiful sunsets from the hot tub. It was a magical spot to stay. We loved it!

This was a great location to either relax and read a book by the pool or go out for an adventure. We stayed with there with two of our closest friends and had a wonderful time.

Property was well-maintained and very clean. Enjoyed our stay but would have enjoyed it more if the pool was a little warmer. Communication with the owner was excellent and he mentioned that they are heating the pool with solar heat. . The gardens at the home were beautiful. We will be coming back.

Property was amazing. The pool and hot tub was the highlight of the trip for everyone. We really didn't have to go anywhere. Christmas at HOP was a definite change of scenery the family needed! Mahalo nui loa!

Once again we had a wonderful vacation at Kona House of Palms! The owners have made some very nice updates to the house that make it even better than our last stay at this property. We love this property so much we don't even use our timeshare on the Big Island anymore, we stay here. Sean and Anjeli are so incredible to deal with and anything you need they are there to make your stay the best they can. I highly recommend Kona House of Palms for your next vacation on the Big Island.

This was a beautiful home in a great location. The pool and hot tub were a hit with the kids and adults! It’s located in a very nice, relaxing, quiet, safe, gated neighborhood. Sean was available and answered question on getting down to the beach from the house and any other questions we had. It is located minutes away from food and shopping. Would definitely recommend!

This home was beautiful and satisfied our needs. We had two families stay with us at different times and One family had older kids and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The other family had two small children and one older and they loved it almost as much as the other kids. We ate most of our meals at the house and was able to utilize dishes, pots and pans. Appliances used everyday. We will definitely plan to stay here on our next visit if available, Owners were accessible by phone and very friendly. We drove to many beaches and into town all within a reasonable amount of time. Thank you!

This was in a nice gated community in a mice location. It was so close to Target, Costco, and any other store we needed to go! The house was very clean. We absolutely loved the pool and jacuzzi. There was quite a bit if mosquitoes though (it could have been just the timing of our trip) so would recommend to bring mosquito repellent :)

Absolutely fantastic place that our family of 6 adults and two kids fit perfectly in. Within 5 minutes of arrival, the kids were already in the pool and found all the toys. Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, glassware, cookware, spices, etc. There was beach towels and coolers for the beach. Very clean, beautifully landscaped place. They had a binder with tons of suggestions of activities, which we went to several of them. Then at night time relaxed on the patio and cooked out. Thank you!!! We loved Hawaii!
