Perfect Kona location

Just outside of town near the Kona Brewery in a gated community, this place was ideal for our group of 6. Ocean view with a short walk to a community sandy beach. The 3 bathrooms were key to our groups successful vacation!

Beautiful location

Home was as described. My only complaint would be the broken window slats need to be fixed. I was alone one night and didn’t feel secure as I couldn’t close some of the large windows. So, I didn’t sleep.

We spend most of our time relaxing on the patio, cooling off in the pool, and enjoying the beautiful view. The home is well equipped and the Knutson team are very easy and friendly to work with.

Clean place but needs an update

Overall, my stay was ok. The big issue is no AC. They need to invest an AC unit period. It would be ok if the property had good air flow from the beach but where the property sits, ZERO air flow so with no AC it was not fun. The surrounding houses block all the great wind from the Island. I was never 100% comfortable during my stay even the pool needs an update.

Home Sweet Home

Rating Details: 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed for the week, three adults and two kids ages 9 & 7. We had a wonderful time! The location is secure via a monitored security gate. The house is very inviting with plenty of comfortable places to lounge both inside and outside in the shade of the veranda. The pool is large and the kids had fun with all of the pool toys. Our beds were comfortable and nicely appointed. We loved the fact of no air-conditioning. There are fans in every room and at night we were very comfortable sleeping. No AC made it easier to acclimate to the weather and with the windows always open we enjoyed the constant sound of the birds and the ocean! Mornings we walked over to the lagoon for wading, exploring and snorkeling, plenty to do. Just minutes from town, the house is in a great location. The home is clean and well stocked with towels, linens, etc. The kitchen has all the equipment you need for home cooked/grilled meals. There is no pantry, so no spices, no salt & pepper are available. Coffee maker with filters (thank you) and blender worked great. I liked how the management staff checked in with me a few times via text, making sure all was well. They were very nice and responded quickly to my few requests. I would highly recommend this Hawaiian home to my friends and family, especially those seeking the peace of a quaint sanctuary.

Very clean and equipped for any and all to enjoy. Best bargain in Kona Bay Estates and the location on the water can't be beat. The pool is large and very private. Easy walking distance to most anything in Kona Town.

Hidden paradise

We were eight people and stayed at the condo during race week of the Ironman Hawaii. We were overwhelmed by the location, view and interior of the accomodation. It has everything we needed to make it a perfect time in Kailua-Kona. When we had 1-2 little issues (e.g. broken BBQ) the owner/agendy helped us immedatialey and super friendly. If we will come back to Kona one time this would be our first option for an accomodation. Thank you & mahalo!

The house is very well equipped with all your daily essentials. The gated safe neighborhood was an added plus.

Fun beach house with a pool and a view

We had a group of 6 adults and we all loved this house! The location was perfect with both sunrise and sunset views. It is close to town, but in a quiet, gated neighborhood right on the ocean. We spent a lot of time lounging on the covered back porch and in the pool. It was heavenly to have three full bathrooms! While we were there, some people walked by, said their grandfather owned the house in the 1980’s, and that it was the only home there at that time. The house itself is really cute inside and out. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay near Kona.
