This house is awesome! I can’t say enough about our stay. The house itself is laid out beautifully and the cabinets are stocked with everything you could possibly need from sugar, condiments, glasses, etc. There is snorkel gear, we brought our own, but could have used theirs. There are a ton of beach towels. There are amazing beaches within walking distance and the restaurants and shops are walkable as well. We were a bit disappointed with the weather, definitely more cloudy in December than we had hoped, but still most day had some blue skies and sun for a bit.

Property was exactly as described and catered well to our family of 9, with 5 adults and 4 children ranging from 2 to 12 in age. Really? Well, designed to use the cooling winds and the pool was perfect for afternoon cooling off with the beach and snorkel spot close by. The requests that we had were responded to within the hour each time by a very patient Sarang. Whole heartedly recommend this holiday stay and these hosts in every way.

We’ve stayed in several condos in Kona, but nothing compares to this oasis—it was truly amazing! The location was perfect, close to the beach and Alii Drive. The condo was exceptionally well-stocked, not just with kitchen basics but so much more. The garage was a treasure trove with snorkel gear, boogie boards, pool toys, and more. The outdoor deck was ideal for relaxing in the evenings, watching the kids swim while enjoying the cool breeze. With five adults and two kids (ages 10 and 12), we had more than enough space to spread out comfortably. We will definitely be back

We stayed for 8 nights and it worked out perfect. The property is beautiful and we loved the pool. It was so nice to walk a short 5 to 10 min and be at a beach. Having beach supplies like chairs, coolers and snorkle gear was also great. Due to a previous guest there was an issue with the toilet in the downstairs room but the owner quickly had it fixed.I couple things to note. The main house does not have AC which we were not used to. My husband is someone who would have ac on even when it is 60 degrees. Lol. But it wasnt a major issue especially since we were out doing things during the day. The other thing to be aware of is the driveway is extremely steep so for those with bad knees or who are older it might be a little challenging. We opened the garage door at the top of the driveway and my dad who is 81 pulled his car in there so it worked out. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to others visiting Kona.

We stayed for a 30th birthday with 3 couples and 2 babies. It was everything we could have asked for. The house is well stocked and once you get all the windows open and fans going it stays pretty comfortable.

The property was perfectly located, spacious, and clean, and the owner provided lots of great information about the neighborhood as well as access to things like pool floats, lawn chairs, etc. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been air conditioning. In that part of the world, I appreciate allowing the island currents to help cool the place off, but we couldn't get sufficient airflow through the windows every night. Perhaps higher-capacity ceiling fans would help if wall or window units aren't desirable aesthetically. Still, it felt like an island experience, and I would highly recommend the property. It was great value for the price.

Hawaii Family Trip

The property location is amazing, just a short 5-10 min walk to Magic Sands Beach. The pool was amazing and my 3 boys (ages 8,5,2) loved it! There were beach towels and toys at the house. The cooler was great to have on our trips to the Hilo side. Communication with the owner was great and they were super helpful.

Great Location and Good for Big Group

Our family enjoyed the location and the pool. Also had a great view of the Sunset. It gets a little hot during the day with no AC but in the evening it cooled off enough to sleep well. The front unit had a AC unit but it didn't cool the space completely. Overall recommend

Why they chose this property

King Kamehameha made is home just 1 mile from where our house is located. My thought was what better place to build my home . The king had his choice of all the islands .

What makes this property unique

Open air shuttle to shopping , farmers markets full of organic island fruits and vegetables , fine dinning and easy beach access. The home is at the end of a culdesac offering a very quite private experience . Sunset views of the ocean from the Lani and private sun bathing by the pool in the buff if you so desire.
