First, let me say the folks at Paradise in Hawaii were extremely easy to deal with. Check in/out was smooth and the two times we called for clarification the person who answered was friendly and helpful. Second, from a physical standpoint the house is in a great location and is well laid out. The home is older as are the furnishings (but we knew that going in because of the pictures on VRBO). The beds were some of the most comfortable we've found at VRBO locations but some furniture, e.g., sofas in the family room, were less than ideal. Fortunately, we didn't spend a lot of time in the family room as we were by the pool (which was wonderful) or elsewhere. The age of the home was noticeable as several things needed the attention of a handyman, e.g., the courtyard gate was sagging, and the home needed to be deep cleaned, e.g.., the windows and floors would benefit most. The recreation equipment, e.g., snorkeling gear, bikes, looked relatively new as were the beach chairs and umbrellas. Overall, it was a great place and if we have an opportunity to return to Kona I suspect we'll look to rent the same home.
