Private Luxury Estate 3800 Sf Main+Guest House Sleeps 2 -14.

What an amazing vacation. The property itself, as well as all the people involved in the rental process, was so far beyond our expectations! The views from the huge terrace - and the infinity pool below - were spectacular! The sunsets!! I've been home for a week and am still missing them :( And I'm even missing the the chorus of birds and frogs and roosters which accompanied them!

The home itself is lovely. It accommodated all 12 of us perfectly, both in availability of private space for everyone and more than adequate seating and lounging areas for our communal time. We were all in and out of the kitchen and never felt crowded. It was undoubtably the best equipped kitchen we've had in our VRBO experiences. The one frypan which we found to have been burned was replaced with TWO the next day - thanks Dan!

I think what impressed me the most was the fact that, from the moment I walked in the door, I felt AT HOME. Rather than a typical sterile rental environment, it was comfy - the sofas, the decorations, the books and games were all meant to make one feel welcome. So much appreciated.

Two of my kids were working from "home" for the first couple of weeks - and all of us had multiple "devices" and the wireless held up extremely well. We had to reboot the router 2-3 times in the entire time we were there - a 5 minute fix which immediately brought us back online. There are TVs in every bedroom, 4 refrigerators, a seemingly unending supply of regular and beach towels, supplies of toilet paper and shampoos - everything one could possibly need. We were so grateful to not have to bother with the "little stuff".

Bottom line, I would go back in a heartbeat - all of us would! I hope I have the opportunity again soon!

We stayed for one week with 3 adults and 5 children. The house was absolutely amazing!! The view from the lani is unbelievable and the sunsets were stunning. The Infiniti pool is gorgeous as is the entire house. The house was newly renovated and the kitchen, bathrooms and great room were all huge. We did not feel cramped at all with our large group. Everything was clean and perfect. The location was great and we felt like locals! I would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again!

The Kona Dolphin house was just as advertised — even better when you consider they don’t even have photos of a newly installed Infinity pool yet! The house was large, more than enough for our party of 12 and had all of the amenities you’d want for a Hawaiian vacation. An enormous lanai with stunning views. A great, fully stocked kitchen. Great pool. Beach supplies. Tons of storage in terms of refrigerators, the pantry, etc. Five couches. Dan met us promptly and answered questions during our stay. I could go on and on. If you’re looking to have a vacation with a large group on the Big Island and don’t mind being a little out of the way from Kona, I couldn’t recommend this spot more. Our whole family will never forget the Kona Dolphin house.

Wonderful mountainside location & great for our family of 9. Infinity pool is awesome! One caveat: if you are sharing the cost among a group, not all bedrooms are created equal. There are 2 amazing master suites with bathrooms & lanais. But the other 2 (very nice, comfortable) bedrooms are at the back of the house & share a bathroom down the hall. This was not an issue for our family, but might be useful to know.

The kitchen, great room & lanai (shared spaces) are large and lovely. 3 refrigerators, so plenty of room to keep food & bevies cool. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, etc. available for your use. Best snorkeling was at Two-Step Beach about 15 minutes away. Ceiling fans provided the right amount of cooling, so don’t worry about no AC. In fact, don’t worry about ANYTHING during your stay. Ready for TMI?... at one point, we needed a toilet plunger (gross, right?). We called the property caretaker and, within 15 minutes, he brought the needed equipment. So, you can feel confident that this will be a stress-free rental. WARNING: You will feel as though you own this piece of paradise and be compelled to return! Mahalo, Monica, for your help. Our family made some great memories!
