IRONMAN AVAILABLE Quiet and Comfortable, Great Views, Private Big Island Estate

The pictures of this property did not do it justice. We were a group of nine and everyone had a place to escape to or come together. The yard is private and quiet. We were surprised there were many beach adventure items provided...boogie boards, snorkel gear, coolers, inflatables, beach chairs and towels. It was a bit of a drive to get to the beach, but the quiet and privacy of the neighbourhood made up for that. We will definitely book again if we ever make our way back!

We spent 8 nights with 4 adults and 6 children. This home is large enough and designed in a manner that allowed the adults and kids to have good separation to make for a great vacation. The kitchen is large and very well equipped with everything needed to prepare every meal. We spent most days at a beach and the house has plenty of towels and beach toys to bring along. There are enough boogie boards for every kid we had. It is a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, with the exception of the roosters that were very noisy around the area every morning pre-dawn. Anytime we had a question or little issue, Richard was extremely available and helpful. Whenever we return to Kona, we will try to rent this home again.

We had a large family gathering and the house was a perfect fit. We loved the outdoor pool/hot tub and the balcony with beautiful views. The house had everything we needed to cook, eat, drink, dine, etc. Great place!

I rented this house for a family vacation with my children and a few grandchildren for a total of 14 ages from 14 to 66 this house was perfect for all,from the gourmet kitchen with every thing you needed to cook for large groups, that we utilized for almost all meals to the pool which was hard to get anyone away from.The pictures and description do not do it justice,location was awesome close to everything, and you could not ask for anyone more accommodating than Richard,very easy to work with from reserving it to departure.Thank you Richard for helping me to make this an awesome family vacation. By the way the screens are hard to see at various times of the day and if you are not use to them you may find yourself running into them a few times.

Our families rented this house for a week long family reunion with siblings/ families. We had 10 guests from 12 years to 65 years old plus my sister and DH who lived a few minutes away visited often. The house and location was perfect. Very easy to find and close to everything with a few minutes drive via car. The house has two levels - sort of an inverted house. The drive and top entrance comes into the living room or the kitchen door. With the master and another King size bedroom on either side of this level plus a futon room perfect for one adult or child. The lower level had a 3 single bedroom, A large pull out sleeper sofa and a separate queen sized bed type apartment with another kitchen. The second refrigerator came in very handy for our food storage.

We cooked several meals at the house and grilled on the gas grill on the lani by the kitchen. The pool was bigger than I thought it would be and even the sandy area was nicer than I expected. Everyone loved the large round hot tub too! We all fit in the pool and had a ball tossing around balls and playing with the included pool toys. The Tiki hut at the pool had a small fridge. To get to the pool you go one flight of stairs down to the grassy yard. Lots of room and very quiet!.

But hands down the best feature of the house is the balconies, namely the top balcony with a wonderful view of the ocean. Nice breeze and cooler temps than the coast. With two large tables and seating for 12 plus the bar area and 4 padded chairs it was great to gather here to eat, and visit each day. Plus the stars at night and the moon were outstanding! Could not have been better! I was worried it would be too hot to sleep- but even with days in the upper 80's the nights were perfect with the ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

Everything was clean- this is the tropics so there was the odd bug or two- but sitting on the balcony at night with the lights on under the eaves we did not have issues with mosquitos etc. Loved watching the geckos ( walking upsidedown) gather around the lights above us waiting for their bug meals. So cute! Hawaiian cardinals came to the balcony looking for some bread hand outs each day. A flock of birds roosted next to the house each evening. Loved the sound of the birds each morning too. A Rooster and his girls was often sighted around the property.

This house was so economical for a large group- better than a resort! Thanks Richard for all your help! We loved this house!!
