Awesome place to spend the holidays. Definitely was exactly what we needed. The house was unlike anything we’ve stayed in before. Having the bedrooms separate from the main living space was a totally new experience for us. Having the ability to open all the sliding doors on the main floor was amazing. Open air living in paradise. Being in a gated community was great. We could walk down to the Bayfront very easily and enjoy everything it offered. The kids spent hours playing in the pool and enjoying the oceanfront. Walking the seawall down to Keiki beach was easy. Definitely would stay here again. 10/10

Thank you! We’re so glad the home was exactly what you needed and that the open-air living, unique layout, and oceanfront setting made your holiday stay so special. It’s wonderful to hear the kids loved the pool and that the bayfront walks and nearby beaches were easy to enjoy. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another unforgettable stay in paradise!
The location was great and the house was clean. The main room didn’t have air conditioning but the rest of the rooms did. That said, opening the main room doors helped cool down the area quite a lot. The management team was fantastic. They were extremely responsive and helpful, even after hours and after we had returned from our trip.

We have stayed in many Kona Bay properties and this house has one of the best locations. Wonderful to be able to open the house up for the ocean breeze and sound of the waves. Large house with plenty of open space. Pool was nice. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful oceanfront Location. House was well equipped and everything in working order. Quiet neighborhood. Quick drive to Kona or a 10-15 min. Walk. Management company excellent as well.
great vistas from upstairs and poolside. great pool and outdoor patio. open panel doors reveals entire outside. on the negative, the property is quite old and suffers numerous mostly minor inconveniences

Aloha Douglas,
Mahalo for your review of Blue Water and we're glad to hear that your group enjoyed the incredible views and wide open floor plan. We must say we are surprised to hear that you found the property to be "old" and that its age impacted you in any way. We continue to maintain the home and improve upon it for our future guests. We would have appreciated hearing from you while you were here or post departure to clarify what aspects specifically you are referring to so we could address them. Nonetheless we hope to host your group again soon and wish you well!
RE Company did a great job, and house was clean and well stocked. Only negative was the house has a walkway in front with about 5 groups per hour that walk by (mostly neighbors or other renters), but it takes away from the oceanfront privacy. In spite of that, I'd stay here again :-)
