Paradise in paradise! We’ve visited Kona several times, and stayed at some nice places, but this one wins on all fronts. This gorgeous home is ideally situated in a gated complex, overlooking a private golf course, with the privacy further enhanced by the picturesque landscaping all around. The kitchen is very large and extremely well equipped across the board, everything we could imagine that we might want, we readily found, and there is an outdoor barbeque as well. Each bedroom is large with a private bathroom. Throughout, the house is beautifully detailed with harmonized tile and wood finishes and matching furnishings, and being all on one level, was easily navigated by my elderly mother, who joined us on this trip. Updated modern comforts are also apparent, including flat screen TVs and USB charging outlets by the bed. Outside, we enjoyed sipping our home-made cocktails in the private pool and hot tub, while watching the sun set over the golf course. This location is peaceful and serene, we all slept extremely well at night. A short walk away is a shopping complex, which includes a convenient Foodland and some nice restaurants.
This home includes access to a private beach. The homeowners make available a large assortment of snorkels, flippers, masks, boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and other outdoor sporting and recreation equipment in the spacious garage (where you can also park your rental car). The private beach is only a mile away and we visited every day: it has some of the most accessible, and yet diverse, snorkeling and reef-life that we’ve seen on Kona, and is very protected, being friendly to all ages and abilities.
The homeowners were extremely helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend this home to anyone seeking an idyllic Hawaiian Kona vacation
