We had a wonderful stay! The house was lovely and included so many great amenities, including a pool and hot tub. It was also very family-friendly, with a crib for our 8-month-old and several toys to help keep them entertained.The host’s communication was excellent. When one of the TVs stopped working, the host went above and beyond by purchasing and installing a new 65-inch TV the very next day. We truly appreciated the exceptional hospitality and would happily stay here again!

Amazing property!

Our stay here was amazing! The house is tucked away in a beautiful, quiet, gated neighborhood. We stayed as 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids) and there was plenty of room and things to do. The outside landscaping and pool were such a hit, especially with the kids. The property was extremely clean and well kept. The property owner had excellent communication and made sure that we had everything we needed both before and during our stay. Definitely a 5-star recommendation

Beautiful home. Great location.

We loved our stay at this spacious, lovely home. The location is on the best side of the island, central to beaches and food options. The beds are comfortable and the community is quiet. We spent lots of time at the beautiful Kua Bay. Peggy, the property manager was wonderful to work with, as was the homeowner. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our family vacation.

Wonderful Kona stay

Large pool property, which is kept very clean. Fully stocked kitchen and awesome bbq on the back patio. A great home for cooking dinners and relaxing by the pool after spending the day exploring the island. Located in a gated community, with an amazing hilltop view of the ocean. Owners were quick to respond to any questions or issues we had.

I can only summarize our stay in one word: Perfect! The house was exactly as described and pictured. Our 6 year old fell in love with pool and never wanted to leave the house. Very close to shopping and very close to the Kona airport. House contained everything we needed. Definitely would like to book this house on our next visit to Kona.

This is an exceptional vacation home. Well appointed in every way. Swimming pool is warm and refreshing. Easy access to the north or south part of the Big Island.
