Everything was fantastic. Just a couple of notes: the oven didn't work. the smaller downstairs bathroom, the outlets didn't work. The kitchen screen door came off the tracks. But overall our stay was amazing and was perfect for our families. The pool was amazing and host communication was excellent.

The overall stay was very nice. The layout of the house was a bit strange, but I had read the previous reviews and expected this. The group at Grand Welcome was nice to respond promptly. However, they were not very accommodating. Read the rules carefully of the house as they will be strictly enforced!

We stayed for a week with family. The house layout is a bit unique in that some bedrooms you had to access outside of main floor. Having our own pool was great and the views were amazing! Would recommend this for larger groups.

Unforgettable memories! 💗

The property was amazing, enough space that everybody could enjoy themselves and take time out for themselves! We arrived and received a warm, welcome from the neighbor, at the time my 10 week old granddaughter was not happy, and the property owner, Peggy and the neighbor went above and beyond to help settle the family in… absolutely one of the best family vacations we have ever had! 🌺🐢🌴The property was amazing, the view was spectacular, and the grandkids enjoyed the swimming pool night and day! Looking forward to coming back! The Campbell Crew from Cali

Great location, plenty of space

We had a wonderful time staying at Outrigger's Paradise this summer. We had 2 families, 10 people in total, with 6 kids ranging in age from 8-19. The house offered plenty of common space to hang out together, and private space for quiet time. Location was fantastic - a stone's throw from "downtown" Kailua, nice beaches nearby, convenient to restaurants/shopping, and tons of activities within a short drive. The house was well appointed, and if they give the downstairs bathrooms a deep cleaning, it's a 5-star property! Denise at the management company was a joy to deal with.

Aloha Shayan and mahalo for this review - we appreciate your honest feedback. It really is a great home for extended and/or combined families, for all of the reasons you mention. We are disappointed to learn you were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the downstairs bathrooms. We would have liked for you to contact us and been given an opportunity to make it right for you. I have forwarded your review to our Housekeeper and we will follow-up to make certain this is corrected. Mahalo - it was a joy working with you too, and a pleasure having you as our guests! We hope you will return to us again. Until then, Aloha! Denise

Big Island getaway

The property has beautiful views and excellent sunsets. We had two families and there was plenty of space for all of us. There are two full bathrooms downstairs and one half bath and upstairs there is one full bathroom in the master bedroom with one half bath. Despite no air conditioning we were quite comfortable at night and the fans kept good air flow both at night and during the day with screened doors open throughout. Wonderful neighborhood, great for walking and easy access to Kona. We enjoyed cooking our meals in the kitchen each night. The indoor to outdoor spaces were perfect for a wonderful Hawaiian getaway with friends!

Incredible Views

This is a very well appointed house. The bedrooms are a bit choppy! Only the master and a twin bedroom are connected to the main room. All others have to be accessed from outside. However, if you are just friends coming together it does give you great privacy. Having a W/D both upstairs and downstairs was the bomb! Great stay. Love Kona. Aloha

Beautiful

As previously stated, the layout is interesting. But the view and location are stunning. The kids loved the private pool. Comfortable beds and space for all 9 of us. Had a bit of an ant problem to start the trip that somehow got into sealed bagels, so take the signs about leaving food out seriously. The property could use a little cosmetic TLC but none of this would stop me from staying here again. I had to ask for check-in instructions because they weren’t sent automatically. Maybe because we arrived on a Sunday? But now that I know these little tricks, I would definitely come back!

Quirky

As other reviews state, this property is a bit quirky. It is true: walls do not reach the ceiling in the main house. The "en suite" master bath really means that bed and bathroom are really just one room. It definitely shows signs of aging and could use some new appliances. But-- there are actually 3 full baths and 2 half baths (despite descriptions to the contrary). The view is to die for. It has space aplenty. Generally it is a fabulous place for a gathering of your clan. We would happily go again.

Great family home

We stayed here during late March for 7 days and absolutely loved the home. There were 5 adults and 2 kids and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Comfortable beds and well equipped for all your needs. The location is very convenient to grocery stores and for exploring the island. Pool is not heated but it warms up nicely once sun hits it, no AC but ocean breeze cools down house by end evening. Very nice neighborhood it is located in up on the hill. Easy travel to Kona, the market, or coffee farms. With the upstairs having 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and lower level having 2 bedrooms and 3 baths you never feel crowded. This house is set up like two houses since lower level also has a kitchen and laundry. The upper level has open ceilings between all the bedrooms. Amazing sunset views every night from porch and pool deck. I would recommend this house and hope to come again soon.

Aloha and Mahalo . Your review and your referrals are our greatest compliments. We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Outrigger. Just a note, the pool is heated, it does cool down at night and then the sun and the pool heater make it comfortable during the day. Please come back to us again soon.

My family of 10 loved this home. We had 3 different family groups within the family and it worked out super well! The home was very clean and the beds were soo comfortable. The space has more amenities then described in the listing. Upstairs in the main part of the home is the master bedroom (with its own bathroom inside) and the smallest room with the 2 twin beds. They are attached to the kitchen and living room room and theres a toilet off the kitchen with no shower. On the same floor with access from the patio is the third room with the full sized bed. It sounds annoying, but it really wasn't bad, you just have to walk through one screen door to be with the other rooms on that level and to use the bathroom. Downstairs can be accessed via two outside stairs from the upstairs patio, or via the drive in car port/, since it's a split level home on a mountain. On the bottom floor there is a whole 2nd kitchen in between the two rooms with a washer and dryer. Both queen rooms have their own showers and bathrooms. There is also an extra 5th bathroom outside the rooms on this floor for pool access. There is so much outdoor space in this home in patios and the view and pool are amazing. The home comes with many beach items you can use for free in the garage. I'd say the only downside at all to the home is the bathrooms are not very private. Most of the bathrooms feature slat doors or half doors, which is very very common in Hawaii. But you get used to it! 10 out of 10 spot! Book it!

Beautiful view

Me and my extended in law family stayed at this beautiful home with a gorgeous view. With two young kids the pool was perfect, and all the extra rooms, including the ones upstairs and parking on the second floor made it easy for the grandmas to get to their rooms. The layout is a little odd. The listing says only two bathrooms but there is one full bath in the master upstairs, a half bath upstairs, and then two en suites downstairs. There is also two additional bedrooms upstairs. The only issue we had is the listing didn’t say no air conditioning so we assumed it did, which it didn’t. And when brought to the owners attention nothing was really done about it except telling us to use the dans, which we did and made it work. But it was still super hot. Also the ceilings aren’t enclosed above the bedrooms/living room upstairs, just an fyi. But thank you so much for your beautiful home and the adventure we got to endure while visiting Kona.

Lots of amazing a few areas to be aware of

The pool and the view are honestly spectacular. The location is great if you’re renting a car (which we did). Super easy to get dt and to other areas on the island as you can quickly hop on the highway. The checkin process is super easy and the house is nice if your bringing a little one as all of the stairs to access the bottom floor and pool are outside so there is no danger to the little one if everyone keeps the doors closed. The kitchen is well stocked and the company running the property was prompt when answering any of my questions. A couple of things to note. The home does show noticeable age in some areas which you don’t see in the photos (not a big deal to us but something to note). It’s hard to understand but all of the rooms on the top floor share one ceiling so you can see lights and hear noise from all of the other rooms (something to be aware of depending on the group). The cleanliness is an area I wanted to mention. There was mold on the fridge water/ice dispenser, old water bottles under beds, and our towels smelt like they weren’t washed before we arrived. I think this is an opportunity for improvement for the future. Overall we all did have a lovely stay!

Sadly, not what it used to be...

This was our second stay in as many years and unfortunately, no maintenance or care has been given to this beautiful property. Our bed downstairs was missing a pillowcase, bath towels were worn, stained and only one per guest, and no bath mats were provided for any of the bathrooms downstairs, necessitating the sacrifice of one bath towel. There were no cleaning supplies to help us keep counters clean and there was a significant ant problem. The kitchen needs to be restocked with plates, glassware, and kitchen gadgets for eight to ten people to cook meals here. There was one small cutting board and one cookie sheet. We had to run the dishwasher every day to have glasses, plates, and silverware for the next day. We informed Grand Welcome of these issues on our second full day of the rental and they assured us they would have their onsite team drop these items off. They arrived on our last day on the island. We are sad to say that while the location and views/pool are terrific, enough to overlook the strange layout of the house that offers no privacy to those staying in the primary bedroom, the house badly needs some love and care for the price they are charging. We will be staying elsewhere on our next visit.

Amazing view!

Listing should be a 5 bed/3 bath plus 2 half bath and outdoor shower. The layout is funky but it was fine for our close knit group. Better privacy in the bathrooms is my only complaint. Actual solid doors and better window coverings. Patio and pool area are fantastic and everything you could possibly need is provided. A noisy neighbor with dogs but the pool waterfall drowns them out during the day. And that view!
