Our family of 10 stayed here for a week. The house was great for all of us! Perfect layout, perfect location! We loved how the living/dining room doors opened completely, sliding into the walls, and also had screens. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the sunset view was wonderful! We hated to leave!

I say “yuck” because the house was not clean, appliances were disgusting (refrigerator had corrosion on the outside!), washer and dryer was dirty. The overall house was in need of repair, found centipede in shower, cockroach in upstairs bathroom. Pool needs to be replastered. Advertised there is a putting green and spa couldn’t be found. Pictures are very deceptive, I would never recommend this place and has now made me not trust pictures on VRBO!! Gross and yucky!!

The property has the wow factor and i knew as soon as we drove in and opened the door that we were going to have an incredible time. The property was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and we all really enjoyed the pool. The view of the ocean was awesome and the location was so close and only a short drive to so many activities.Communication was great with the team, and we would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful place for a large group, opens up to great deck of lava rock. Well supplied, easy access and check in. Manager and owner responded quickly to inquiries. Very comfortable place to hang out.

The property itself is stunning. It was a perfect mix of both luxury and comfort. We had a large group of 11 people aged 8 to 80, and all loved the home. The property managers were responsive and helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This was supposed to be a special trip for our family spreading the ashes of my parents. That went well, but the stay at the house was very disappointing. First night we went to climb in bed and in the sheets were crusted bodily fluids along with black pubic hairs. When we called management in the morning, we were made to feel like we lied and that they didn't believe us, that the cleaning staff said they had changed all the sheets. Manager said "let me figure out how I can make it up to you", well a week has passed and no making up to us was done. The word of the cleaners was taken over the guests. The Livingroom furniture is disgusting!!! It was extremely dirty, stained, and worn out. One of the dryers did not work. The pool broke and was dirty, mirky and when I called the manager he did not respond, I texted him a second time later that day finally he responded with leave it alone someone will come tomorrow. Two days of dirty pool. The manager was responsive our first contact but the next couple was when I had to say "hello, did you receive my text", finally would hear from him.
The best part of the place were the views, couldn't beat it but after talking with the neighbors, they too said getting ahold of management is next to none and they continue to hear from other customers staying at this house, lots of dirty, lack of manager contact, and a broken pool, seems to be the same with all customers.
Very disappointed to say the least. Cinda Ritson & Family

We were a family group of 10 people, and we enjoyed this house immensely. Beautiful bedrooms, amazing pool, kitchen is well-equipped. Lots of pool toys and beach gear provided, which was a very nice touch. Pool gets lots of sunshine. Location is good -just a short drive from anything within the Kona area. Neighbourhood is quiet.
Families with toddlers, note that the staircase is a bit perilous. Our kids are older so it was fine, but I would have been nervous about it with little ones.

The highlight of this property is the location and views. The sunsets were stunning. The house itself is also incredible, and very modern. The open concept was great.
There were a few issues, noted below:
1. I was not aware the house was not air conditioned. The rooms had split units, but the main family room, dining area and kitchen were not. As a result, it was 80+ degrees in those areas, making it a bit uncomfortable.
2. We encountered plumbing issues in two bathrooms downstairs. One sink was completely clogged and the barhrub had some brown water that came up.
3. Some of the pans were not thoroughly cleaned. We had to scrub them as it looked some like oil was burnt on still.
4. We ran out of paper towels mid stay, and couldn’t access more as they were locked up.
Outside these issues, which the property manager Jesse did he best to remedy, the stay was fantastic.

Our stay at this property was 5 star the whole way. House was clean and inviting upon arrival. Slight issue with one of the beds, but Jesse the property manager came over and fixed it right away. Plenty of room for our group of 10 plus our grandbaby to spread out and get some quiet time if needed. The infinity pool was cool and refreshing. There are a ton of beach toys, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. There was even a beach umbrella! You won't be disappointed with your stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the property. There was plenty of room for our group of 9 (6 adults + 3 kids) to spread out and sleep comfortably. Comfortable furniture overall and we appreciated that the house was stocked with lots of beach gear (umbrella, towels, chairs, snorkel masks and fins, etc.). The pool was just the right size for the kids in our group, and man what a view! Location was also ideal for us - nice and chill neighborhood that felt far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but also just a few minute drive to center of town and multiple shopping complexes. We would definitely consider staying here again during a future visit.

Our multi-generation family loved our stay in this spacious house. The sunset view was magnificent . Everyone enjoyed the beautiful pool. It was well supplied with beach equipment-cooler, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, and boogie boards. The kitchen & barbecue was great. We hated to leave!!

Amazing View, Large House, Overall Ok. Here's some issues that would want to bring to owners attention especially this house being a vacation rental... 1st There is a cat population that we counted at least 11+ that is living on property & sleeping on outside furniture leaving cat hair all over & drinking out of the pool, 2nd there is no conventional oven especially for the peoples that likes to cook which is us, 3rd no A/C in main living area, dinning, kitchen & laundry room but when you opened the large glass doors in living & dinning area a cool breeze flowed through with alot of fans on & weather wasn't blazing so it worked out but at least all the bedrooms had A/C so sleeping was comfortable, 4th the pool needs to be re plastered, 5th needs some updating washer/dryer machines were rusted & found alot of termite droppings & it is expected living in hawaii but it can be treated. Overall our stay with a few issues was well rested & we enjoyed ourselves
Thank You!

This house was perfect for the trip. I especially loved the discovery of the windows sliding into the walls to completely open the living and dining area to the patio and outside.
I do wish a 4.5 Star rating was available. This was better than 4 stars but many small items needed attention. No light over house number made it a challenge to find the first night, pool lights never worked, faucet leaked in main bathroom, side sink was disconnected and not labeled, suspected termites under the coffee table.
However, the positives were amazing! Beach towels, chairs and cooler are so handy and appreciated. Excellent kitchen as we cooked and grilled almost every night. And loved the neighborhood. First time we went to the shops and beach area in Kona we were all instantly happy to have our house away from tourists. Incredible sunset views to include both ocean and mountain.

The house is so comfortable and well appointed. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and easy. The indoor/outdoor living on the first floor was great. And the views are epic. It was the best way to wake up with coffee and wind down with a drink every morning and night. The house is roomy and great.

Our stay at E Komo Mai was wonderful! Sunsets by the pool are gorgeous! House was well stocked with supplies. Plenty of room for 10 people (4 adults and 6 kids). Easy drive to downtown Kona.

We enjoyed our trip and stay at this location! It was great being closer to town, easy shopping downtown or along the Highway! Can’t wait to come back, hopefully sooner rather than later, it is a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors! Be ready to see pigs, turkeys, peacocks, and a slew of other birds!
This location would not be good for those looking to stay up late and make noise, we enjoyed the peace and quiet in the night and bird watching throughout the day

Had a lovely week-long stay at this house recently with family, including kids aged 1-7. The house is clean, spacious, well-appointed and well set up for large groups. Everyone enjoyed their stay. Kitchen is well supplied - we had no issues cooking + preparing the bulk of our meals at the house. The extra pool toys, snorkels, goggles, boogie boards, and beach chairs were a really nice surprise, and made use of the pool and visits to the beaches much more pleasant. Would happily return!

While the photos show what appeared to be a kitchen, it’s fake. There is no oven. An ancient Oster toaster oven is on the counter top. There is no exhaust fan over the cooktop. And the microwave is rusted and melted. I expect an oven when I’m paying the kind of fee required to rent such a property.

We rented this home for us and our kids and grandkids. We had to adjust our dates and the owner made it easy to do. Everyone loved the house. The kitchen had everything you needed. There were beach towels and toys for the kids for the pool. There were awesome beach chairs to bring to the beach along with an umbrella. The master suites were amazing. There was an extra fridge in the garage along with a ping pong table. The location was so close to everything without being in the bustle. We would definitely rent again! The property manager was responsive and was great too!

We rented this house to celebrate 9 high school friends turning 70 years old in 2022. It was perfect for a week of celebrating. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the view from the pool and we spent a lot of time in the pool. The house was perfect for what we needed. It is easy to book the house, management is very responsive and check in was very easy. We would stay here again!!

Absolutely gorgeous property and gorgeous views. Just as advertised. Kids had an absolute blast everyday in the pool, with lots of available blow-up toys to keep them entertained. The adults could not get enough of watching the views at sunset. Great communication from the host. I can't imagine you will find better!!

This was a great property for a family or friends stay. My husband and I had our 3 daughters and their partners and our 10 month old granddaughter with us. Each couple had their own bedroom and full bathroom! Spacious kitchen and living areas and wonderful pool and deck area.
Beautiful sunsets were enjoyed every night. A quiet neighborhood made it a relaxing vacation. Close to town and restaurants and the Kona area. Our only downside was the Iron Man world competition was going on and that made for a lot of people in the area.

E Komo Mai was the perfect retreat for our group of family and friends. The tranquil infinity pool is a highlight, offering refreshment after a day of exploring and reinvigorating us before dining out in the evenings.
The modern layout, with an open kitchen, dining, and great room is ideal and allowed all 12 of us to enjoy the space at the same time. The Fleetwood pocket doors seamlessly open the house to the pool and patio area, offering sweeping views of the valley and ocean below. Sunsets here are spectacular!
The 5 bedrooms are well-spaced and air-conditioned, allowing for privacy as needed during our stay. With 12 adults, we appreciated having 2 master bedrooms, and the bonus private lanai. The beds, pillows, and bedding are luxuriant and reminiscent of a high-end resort.
Lastly, the house was spotless and is located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, which is close to everything. The reservation and check-in process was easy and the homeowner and property manager were available if we had needed them. We happily recommend the house and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a serious bug problem in one bathroom and the manager did NOTHING to help. She said that this is the tropics and we have bugs. My husband thinks there is a nest. We bought bug spray and washed down the bathroom and still the bugs came back. We never did use that bathroom. We had a problem with the ice maker and she referred us to a website to fix it ourselves. This is unacceptable for the amount that we paid for two weeks, even paying for one extra person who never did stay at the house because four people moved to a hotel because of the bugs and no bathroom to use. The owner said that they would address these issues with the property manager but we never heard anything. House was beautiful but did need maintenance. My husband had to fix a screen which was knocked out after no one came to fix it.

The house is large and worked well for our family. Location was great - minutes from restaurants, shopping and convenient to beaches and airport. The pool was a hit with the kids. The house could use a little TLC (missing screen on second floor lanai, lots of flea-like bugs in the first floor small bathroom and some gorse floor furniture needs replacing.

There were 11 of us in the house and there was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and ping pong table in the garage. The house was stocked with everything we needed to go to the beach (towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, sand toys and more. Jill, the property manager addressed all of our questions / concerns extremely quick and professionally. I would definitely stay here again. We loved it!

Our extended family of 9 (ages 8-74 years old) loved staying in this beautiful vacation home. Location is perfect for a quiet retreat yet within a quick 10 min drive to town/beach. Beautiful view of the ocean from the pool. It was hard to convince the kids to leave the house because they loved being in the pool so much! Well stocked basics- loved the supply of beach towels available. Great floor plan for our large group with a full master bed/bath on bottom floor for the grandparents. Absolutely would stay here again!

The home is beautiful and the view is amazing. All of the ammenities were as described. Bedding was great and we all (11) of us slept very well. Location was perfect in a beautiful neighborhood and convenient to restaurants, shopping, and farmer's market. The property managers were quick to respond if anything was needed. My only suggestions would be to add a fan to the living area. Also the furnishings were nice but were "tired" looking. A refresh would make it a10+ rating. We would definately stay here again.
