Property is beautiful and well equipped. The bedrooms are spacious and the public spaces (living room, family room, eating area kitchen) are as well. In general a full luxury experience!There were a few minor problems with the toilet, range hood, and could use a little more silverware. but nits generally.

Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful, well-equipped home and found the bedrooms and shared spaces spacious and comfortable for your group. We appreciate you noting the small items as well, and our team will be sure to take a look. It’s wonderful to hear the overall experience felt truly luxurious, and we’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another great stay in the future.
This is a truly superb property and although it was just me and my partner, this house is large enough to accommodate a family of 8-10.The house was immaculate, the grounds were lush and beautiful, the patio and pool were perfect with plenty of lounge chairs, tables, and couches for all the comfort you could desire. The house is a tue stunner with lots of rooms, hallways and common areas to make it feel spacious and private. The location from Kona is only a 5 minute drive but the house is tucked away in a gated oasis that makes it feel private and secure. One of the finest luxury rentals we have stayed in!

Thank you, Shawn! We're so glad you had a fantastic stay and enjoyed the spacious layout, beautiful surroundings, and private setting. We at Gather look forward to welcoming you back for another luxury getaway!
The ceiling in the patio is falling down. Looks terrible. Hot tub wasn’t usable. Filthy , needs drained and cleaned properly. Broken sprinkler head parts laying in the garden space. For the money one would think there would not be issues like that.

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Had we been informed about the hot tub during your stay, we would have addressed it immediately to ensure it was cleaned and usable. We also recently repaired the patio ceiling; however, it appears the recent torrential rains may have compromised that repair. We’ll be inspecting and fixing it right away. The broken sprinkler parts will also be cleared. We truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure these matters are resolved promptly.
