Game Room/Bar - Conveniently stocked with ice maker, wet bar, beverage fridge, glassware, blender, game table and games and books.
Accessibility - The kitchen and dining room are elevated a few steps but there is a convenient ramp from the pool deck up into the kitchen which makes the entire lower level with pool, patio, living room, den, bar/game room, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms all very accessible.
A short stroll along the oceanfront leads you to a sandy, reef-protected beach cove lagoon which is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and playing in the sand. Abundant tide pools, which offer great exploration for children and teens, dot the lava rock shelf fronting the homes in the area. The beach cove is not staffed with lifeguards and does not have beach furniture, but portable beach chairs are provided at the house. You may also have views of turtles, dolphins, and whales (in the winter season).
From the house you can walk to tennis courts or into Kailua-Kona for entertainment, dining, and shopping. The sandy swimming beaches and resort areas of Hualalai, Waikoloa, Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea are an easy 20-45 minute drive up the lava-fringed Kohala coast. Just a few minutes drive to the south are the world-famous Kona coffee plantations, snorkeling bays of Keahou and Kealakekua, and historic sites including the City of Refuge and Captain Cook Monument. There are several golf courses, play fields, movie theaters, and other recreation in Kailua-Kona within a few minutes drive.

Dear Greg, We wanted to thank you for the use of your beautiful home on the Big Island! You were right, it was the perfect spot for our family! We saw a breaching whale, beautiful beaches, snorkeled at Kealakekua Bay, spotted several sea turtles and visited the Volcanoes National Park. But our most enjoyable time was spent at your home with our sons & their families. We enjoyed the pool (a favorite of our 5 year old granddaughter) and our evening meals together on the patio overlooking the gorgeous Pacific! Again, our 10 days at your home in Kona were marvelous! Thank you for providing literally everything we needed while we were there. - Cheryl & Bob H PS Our youngest son, Kirk and girlfriend, Ami, were engaged while we were in HI!

Mr. & Mrs. Gaskin, Reggie & I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for allowing us the privilege of staying in your beautiful home. We had such a wonderful time. Your home is absolutely the BEST we've ever stayed in. We have been renting homes for the past 4 years in the Kona area...but none of them compared to your home. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly imagine & more !!! One of the couples that stayed with us is a very good cook and loves to cook. He was VERY impressed with all the gadgets & kitchen appliances you had. We had asked Kema if your home was open for the same time next year. But she told us it was already rented....darn. Having access to the internet was a BIG PLUS also. It helped me keep in touch with all my friends and my kids. We have never been away from our kids that long. I got real homesick for them and they are 29 & 31 yrs. old!!! Well, thank you again so very much for allowing us to be in your home. It was the BEST vacation my husband & I have had in a long time!! It was so relaxing right there on the ocean. Sincerely, Carole & Reggie Collins P.S. Kema is just a wonderful and kind person to work with--she is a real sweetheart.
