I can't tell you how much I loved this home. I was there for 14 days and it was just amazing. The view with the infinity pool, the decor was not Hawaiian cheesy, beds were so comfortable and it has absolutely everything you could want. Communication with the host was great. She answered all my questions within minutes. I felt like I was living in Hawaiian luxury. Sooo much better than a hotel. Would go again in a minute.
Very nice house, perfect for a family of 5 adults. Everyone had their own space and bathroom for each bedroom. The pool and view was excellent, such pretty landscaping. Kitchen was fully stocked with kitchenware to make meals at the house. Grill was also nice to have!The location is about a 10-15 min drive to town.

Host was very helpful. Sent lots of information about the house and the island and was available throughout our stay via text if we had any questions. The instructions in the house on how to use the various amenities was very helpful as well.

Mahalo John for the lovely review. We loved having you stay at Collessie and hope you return.
We stayed at this lovely VRBO with another couple, and it was just as beautiful as the description said it was. The house had Hawaiian decor throughout which made it feel definitely like a home in Hawaii. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen and bathrooms. The best part was the backyard. The pool and view were amazing and we loved the waterfall and especially the volcano!Unfortunately, we arrived just as the Kona Storm hit, and it rained constantly from the minute we got off the plane to the day before we left. That being said, our host, Shan, couldn’t have been more helpful. She checked in with us every day, letting us know current updates, places that were open, and things to do in the rain. Because of this, we were able to just relax and go with the flow. It turned out to be a great experience and we definitely plan to return to this house!!
Wonderful property, the infinity pool and view are spectacular. The property manager went above and beyond to give us a great stay. The location is great, about 3 miles from downtown where there are lots of restaurants, but in a very quiet and serene spot. There are several beautiful beaches within a 10-20 minute drive. We would stay here again for sure!

What a beautiful property! From the nighttime arrival to our departure we enjoyed every moment of our stay!Fantastic large kitchen with room for everyone to make some great meals with quality appliances. The layout of the home lends itself to easy access to the pool and outdoor living area from the 2 primary suites and the large indoor outdoor living area. The third bedroom is only a few steps away.We are searching for property on the big island and looked at 12 different homes up to a sale price of 4.8 M. None of those properties had what Collessie by The Sea provided us! The layout and indoor out door living by the pool was unparalleled in our search; making it hard to find something we loved as much at this VRBO!

The property and host were both wonderful. Every need was thought of to make a relaxing vacation. The private infinity pool was great. We heated the pool for a few extra degrees to make it even better. This was the best vacation rental we ever had. The home had all the little things that made it very enjoyable

This house was perfect!!! We loved the pool, waterfall and volcano. Outdoor space was great, it was nice to come home from the beaches or sightseeing and take a dip in the pool. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable. Our host had great recommendations and was quick to answer any questions. Would we stay here again? Absolutely! We were glad it was on higher ground as we were there for the tsunami warning! Thankfully nothingvreally happened.

The house was beautiful and very accommodating! It was well stocked and supplied for all of our needs. The grounds and yard were so well taken care of and lovely! We greatly enjoyed sitting in the pool gazing at the ocean and admiring all the beauty!! It was close to town and many attractions! The only comment was that the shower head in the primary bedroom was hard to manage and sprayed water in many directions making it hard to shower. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable!

Many thanks for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed your time at Collessie. Mahalo for letting us know about the rubber shower tips. It’s an easy fix and only takes us a couple of minutes to rectify.
We have stayed at many houses in the Islands over the years and we consider this one to be the best! The setting is ideal with expansive ocean views and beautiful landscaping. Kona is around 10-15 minutes away so there are lots of places to eat within easy reach. The house is well equipped, everything has instructions and the owner is available anytime to help if needed. This was an important anniversary for us and we were looking for seclusion which this property certainly provides!
