Check in was easy. The hosts were very responsive. The house was just as pictured. The driveway is a little steep but you get used to it. The lanai is amazing and where we spent most of our time at the house. It was fun to watch the surfers/boogie boarders and the sunsets are not to be missed. Honl’s Beach right next to the house was great to splash in the waves and look for shells. Not a swimming beach. Great location!

The house was great for my family of four. The only drawback was the noise from the Ali'i Drive, but that died down after hours. Overall, a great house in an awesome location. It was an easy walk to various restaurants and retail stores, and the adjacent beach (Honl'sBeach) was a pleasant experience. Thanks.

Waking up and going to sleep listening to ocean waves was absolutely incredible, and one of our favourite location memories. I loved taking my coffee out in the morning to do yoga on the lanai while watching the surfers take on morning waves. We also loved looking down at all the fish right from the lanai, it was incredible how dense the fish schools are right at the beach beside the house. The house is in a perfect location, lots you can walk to, and perfect base camp location to drive to other excursions further away. I know some have mentioned the road noise, and yes, sometimes you can hear cars go past. But honestly the ocean mostly drowns it out anyways. This will always be one of our most faveorite vacation stays :)

This house was amazing for me and my family (5 people total). It's walkable to central Kailua-Kona, easy driving, and amazing access to beaches. The host, Carla, was truly wonderful to interact with. I can't recommend this place highly enough and will hope to return here when I'm on the island next!

Location is amazing! We spent tons of time on the deck watching sunsets, listening to the waves, and relaxing. Property is walkable to things, and though there is some road noise the upside of location easily outweighs it. Clean, comfortable, and a really great base for exploring the island. Highly recommend!

Walking distance from downtown Kona. Clean and spacious home. The lanai is large and has a spectacular view of sunset and anything happening on the water near Kona. The public beach is next door. Has some homeless that come over to the property front to fish, but they keep to themselves.

We just stayed here for a week. Great location in downtown Kailua within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed to have a memorable trip with our family. The view from the back deck was amazing and we spent several hours out there watching the boogie boarders, sea turtles, fish and dolphins. Carla, the host was amazing too and very responsive with questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent place. Close to everything. House is as described. Wake up every morning and watch the surfers and yellow tangs from the deck. Parking is a little tight but manageable. Found it hard to leave the deck. Amazing sunsets. Would book again.

Incredible place and location, almost over the water! However, Ali’i Drive is pretty noisy and the homeless in the area a bit concerning.

Great property overlooking the ocean and a small beach. Walking distance to shops and restaurants, but also on the outskirts of Kona to allow for easy access to the south side of the island. Very clean, and check in was a breeze. Would stay here again.

This place is amazing. The lanai and kitchen was superb. Very wonderful to hear waves crashing, watch dolphins, view amazing sunsets, and fish gaze below the lanai.
This place comes with everything you may need to be comfortable - including the wonder AC; and we were grateful for the shared beach gear.
It is true the front side of the home street noise is loud; however, all family members agreed that the view outweighs the noise.
Hurricane Calvin was a threat and the host checked in with us multiple times.
Thank you for sharing this place with us and it is our hope to return one day. ALOHA

We had a great vacation! Thank you for sharing your home with us. The location and views are amazing!
It had everything we needed; cooler, beach chairs and towels, comfortable beds :)
We could have sat all day watching the waves and spotting whales and dolphins on the lanai.

The entire experience was amazing! Check in was a breeze! House is gorgeous, right on the water! Can’t find another place that has a better sunset view! And the house was SO clean! I have never been anywhere that was this clean and tidy… especially not a rental. AC was very nice when we used it. Owner was very communicative and available. Just an overall great stay. Don’t give it another thought… just book!

Great views and very comfortable layout for our family of 5. Well equipped with everything you need. Amazing views from the back patio, with dolphins and surfers providing great entertainment. My teenagers appreciated the beach next door. Kitchen well equipped (we made Thanksgiving dinner and had everything we needed.). Highly recommend - a place to make memories.

This vacation home was amazing!! We enjoyed it so much. Perfect location near a lot of restaurants and stores. It was very tidy and clean and the back patio had the perfect view! We watched surfers in the morning and also enjoyed all the fish surrounding the area. Carla was amazing as well she made our stay so smooth. Also this place has A/C which work wonderfully ! We will be back again !

We truly enjoyed our visit. Things we loved: gourmet kitchen, great laundry room with everything thing that we needed for the beach and more, clean and updated bathrooms, beautiful long and wide balcony right over the ocean, private gated parking, close to attractions and restaurants, nextdoor to a fantastic beach that we snorkeled from. The only things we didn't like were: noisy street for second and third bedrooms, but we stayed in the master facing the ocean so no noise, and the other thing we didn't like was having to leave! If you're used to street noise and cars, the noise won't bother you because the ocean waves are RIGHT THERE. Best sleep ever! Manager and owner is very easy to reach and easy to get along with.

Thank you.

We usually stay at Mauna Lani but this time decided to stay at this location. It is a beautiful property and wonderful location to shops and night life.
No AC, but with all windows and fans open…it’s not so bad. Just took some getting used too.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
February 2022
They left out all the whales and dolphins we would see from the porch!
An absolute treasure staying here. A perfect week.

The location is great! You are right on the ocean with great views and still close to everything. Covered porch was a huge plus. From there, you soak in views of the crabs on the rocks, yellow tang and other fish in the water, dolphins and whales swimming by and great star observations at night. House is in good condition and well stocked, open-ish floorplan and easy to stay in. We stayed with 5 adults and everyone had enough space. Kitchen was good for cooking and hanging out. Be aware there is no A/C, so you have to keep the windows open and move the fans around depending on the breezes to stay cooler. Getting in and out of the driveway is a bit of work, but understandable based on the location and you do get the hang of it. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing family vacation with our three kids (9,11,14) in Kona. The house is located within walking distance of the center of Kona, has a beach right next door and has the best view of huge waves and surfers.
We stayed for two weeks, the house has plenty of room for a family of five and everything you might need in the kitchen and beyond. We were a little concerned about not having A/C, but that concern was not necessary. The ocean breeze cools the house and it has a very comfortable temperature throughout the day and night. Everything was very clean and well kept, communication with the owner was excellent. My favorite was waking up in the morning to the sound of the waves and watching the ocean while drinking my morning tea! We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay in Kona very much. The home was beautiful and within walking distance of downtown. Well stocked with items helpful to any trip to Kona (beach towels, cooler, ice packs, etc.). A portable air conditioner in the back room would help tremendously with temperature/comfort level. There are a few homeless in the park next door, but they were kind and did not in any way bother us. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset and surfers on the water directly in front of the house, as well as the black crabs and schools of yellow tang in the bay.

This property had everything we could've asked for and more. Sunsets, crashing waves, dolphins, whales, surfers, boogie boarders. Absolutely incredible views from the lanai.
The property was a lot larger than it appeared in the photos and our family of four had zero space issues. Everything was cleaned, organized and it's evident the owners take great pride in this home.
Carla was an absolute pleasure to deal with and ensured our check in was seamless. There's a reason why this property has wonderful reviews. This is an outstanding rental and is what every property on VRBO should strive to be like!!

Pros: Incredible view, sunsets from the lanai, comfortable beds (soft sheets!), provided beach towels, laundry & dish detergent and shampoo & conditioner, as were a few spices and condiments. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Cons: Late afternoon the sun beats in and heats the place up. We had to run all the fans each night (great to have them provided), traffic and street noise loud for street side bedrooms, climbing the stairs with heavy suitcases would be difficult for anyone who wasn't able, the worst part was backing out of the driveway during rush hours (hard to see and then to make your move fast).
We would rent this property again, simply for the view!

We love Kona and this property is in the great location. Walking distance to everything. It is well equipped. I think the only thing it was missing was tissues! Great kitchen. Great lanai. Not having AC was a bigger issue than I thought it would be. We are from Arizona and can handle the heat. But that afternoon sun before sunset is brutal. We like to get home before sunset to watch it. The house was too hot. You were dripping sweat trying to shower and get ready.
Everything was fantastic. Great view. Beds were comfy enough. I think we would consider staying there again. Even without the AC. It is just gorgeous.
December 2019
Incredibly clean and well kept. We loved everything about it and will stay here again. I can’t think of a single thing to complain about- like I said perfection!
