Very comfortable and beautiful

We really enjoyed our stay here. Kids named the chicken that hangs around Hey-Hey. Tons of birds in the courtyard in morning hours. It’s well stocked and there was nothing we needed that wasn’t provided. Very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Incredible stay!

This might have been the most comfortable rental we’ve stayed in as a family - the owners thought of everything and if anything the pictures don’t do it justice. Waking up to that view each morning was all the vacation I needed but we had a spectacular time on the Big Island. Exceptional property!

Beautiful house in Kona

This house was beautifully furnished and we lacked nothing. We especially loved sitting in the lanai watching the waves roll in and listening to the waves all night. The furniture in the lanai, however, looked old and soiled, and wasn't very comfortable. This was a good location.

Beautiful home with a wonderful ocean view!

This is the perfect place to relax and unwind! This property is close to shopping, restaurants, and a grocery store if you would rather cook instead of going out to dinner. We witnessed beautiful sunsets and saw whales daily from the outdoor sitting area. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to visiting again.

Best location

This house was located right on the water just South of Kailua-Kona. It is a great base location for exploring the island IF you can peel yourself out of the chairs on the lanai overlooking the water. The house is well stocked with items to use in the kitchen, as well as things to use at the beach like towels, chairs, umbrellas, and snorkels. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

Beautifully remodeled kitchen, plenty of seating in the family room and on the lanai. Washer and dryer on site and all the supplies you need for a beach day.

Wish we had never left.

It’s rare when a rental lives up to expectations but this one was stellar and we wish we had had never left. Four adults comfortably stayed here for a little less than a week and I could see how a couple of kids could easily stay in the bunk beds. The rental was very stocked with dishes, towels, linens and it was so nice to have a washer and dryer! We spent most evenings watching the sunset and mornings watching the fish and surfers out front. We can’t wait to return!

Wow what a fabulous stay!

I can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our week here. From the moment we walked into the courtyard with the beautiful flowers in the trees and the birds chirping to the amazing ocean front view. This place is huge. The kitchen is a gourmet kitchen full of anything that you would need to cook anything. The living room was very comfortable and overlooked the ocean. You could see the ocean while cooking. High ceilings in all of the rooms. I could see a palm tree in the skylight. The master bedroom has a big sliding door that overlooks the beautiful courtyard. High ceilings fabulous shower. we were worried we might get hot due to no air-conditioning in the living room and kitchen but as long as you had the ceiling fans going in the windows open with the ocean breeze it was just fine. We walked to town a few times and also took the trolley a couple times. There's a trolley schedule but it's not that accurate so sometimes we would wait for the trolley or just keep walking. they were lots of restaurants and bars and shopping anything you could ever need right in town. And there was a really good farmers market that sold fresh vegetables and fruits and all kinds of Hawaiian gifts. You can pick up beautiful fresh ginger and they allow you to fly it home since it is a root and as long as there's no soil. So we took some home and it's really fresh and good. This is a great location even if you want to tour the island we basically did a three or four different day trips and came right back to our fabulous ocean retreat. This was a great vacation. I would definitely stay here again so it was beautiful in a place I would never be able to buy but it sure wonderful to stay in. There's also an outdoor shower that you can use in it looks like you're surrounded by lava. There is laundry in the garage but we never used it. Thank you to the owners who share this home. It is a dream.

Great house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nicely appointed house. The kitchen was extremely nice, with top notch cutlery. We rented this for the view, and it did not disappoint. We didn't get into the water from the backyard, but you probably could if you're ok with waves and rocks. Their Mini splits did a great job in cooling whatever room we were in. The washer and dryer worked great, and it was nice to have a good assortment of beach items.Our only complaints were: 1) would have liked a table on the lanai to play games, and 2) the neighbors were both doing remodeling projects so we had to listen to saws and drills while relaxing on the lanai. Certainly wasn't the properties fault.We'd definitely use Kona Sunsets Vacatio rentals on our next visit.
