Three Palms

The view was beautiful! The host was super friendly! The house was listed as a two bedroom. It is actually a one bedroom with a pull out couch for the second bed. The kitchen is a very small area. There is no stove! Lastly the host is on property and has cats, who are very friendly, so if you are not a cat person this might not work for you!

Add said. Entire place. Found. Out it part. Of a house. And. People lived in. The house not what I. Was looking for

Very nice neighborhood and there is a sight uphill walk to the property from the street parking. Steve is very attentive and responsive to any need or question. Loved the deck view of the ocean sunsets - breathtaking and we enjoyed the 75” TV. Only negative we having to deal with tiny ants but Steve provides pest spray. We used beach chairs and towels for our beach trips

Awful experience. I promise you this strange man will write a long response. I will warn you of a few things: He will freely enter your private space when you aren't there. We left a light (single bulb lamp) on and the air conditioner set to keep the room at a comfortable level [68 degrees]. Steve decided this was an absolute violation: he entered and unplugged the ac, turned off the light and disabled the walkway motion lights. You should not feel secure here. Everything about this place is extremely underwhelming except the deck. The main bed is...whatever. The pullout in the living room is absolute garbage. The Kitchenette is literally a small closet with a shite fridge, toaster and microwave. When asked if we had anything to actually cook with he provided a grill...then promptly tried to charge us for greasing up his deck. We cooked 4 burgers and 4 cobs of corn. It's honestly bonkers. The place is also absolutely infested by tiny blue centipedes. Everyone in our group of four received multiple bites and the official decided kill count was 27. Roaches, thankfully, showed up less. But be prepared for insect battle. We ended up finding a way better place, not a home split into rental slums, and had a much better experience. Avoid this place.

Great place to stay.

Loved the view from the deck. We sat outside in the early evening. It was very quiet and a convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle of the town but close to everything. Would definitely stay again, Steve was an excellent host.

Home away from home. Steve is the best! He showed us around when we got there. He answered texts right away. There were 4 of us, so we had the pull out put to good use. It is snug for 4, but it worked. Great view from the patio. There were beach towels for us to use. The sink was outside, so we could wash a few dishes. Friendly cats around the area. A few cows next door. The only con I can think of is the pillow was a bit firm for me. This place is about 10 min drive to Magic sands beach. Many restaurants 5-10 min drive away. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Steve!

Steve is such a kind and dedicated host. Amenities are above average and he truly wants to make your stay wonderful. Highly recommend this rental!

Steve was a gracious host and the accommodations were perfect. The view was flawless. We enjoyed visits from Ipo (Steve’s cat) to say good morning and good evening. The local restaurants were absolutely fantastic and anything you could want or need was just a 6-10 minute drive away

It was a charming guesthouse with everything one would need for a wonderful stay!

Steve was an excellent host that truly thought of everything. Would definitely stay there again.

The place was just as described. The view and lanai with table and lounge chairs were worth the stay, with breathtaking views. It was wonderful to wake up to the sound of so many different types of birds that you can see flying around from the deck. The bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable if you have a sensitive back. It was great to have chairs, beach towels and a buggie board to take to the beach. The restroom was stocked with everything you can think of, including emergency umbrellas. Would stay here again. The host gave us a thorough walkthrough of the place and how everything works upon our arrival, it was helpful but hard to focus after a long flight.

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation rentals and Three palms is in the top 5. We appreciated the exceptional view of the ocean, the peacefulness of the neighborhood, the friendly cats who came to visit and the comfortable/spacious accommodations. We spent most of our time on the beautiful lanai, listening to the birds as we drank our coffee in the morning and watching the sunset. Our host Steve, was kind and thoughtful prioritizing our comfort. He facilitated an impromptu nighttime excursion to a Kilauea eruption that was extraordinarily memorable. We highly recommend this place. Rob and Tory

The place was wonderful. We loved the view and appreciated the little things like having chopsticks available when we got Costco sushi. There was a slight misunderstanding on my side though. The place says it sleeps 4 adults, which it does with the sofa bed, but the pictures I saw made me think there were two beds, a king and queen, instead of a king and a queen sofa bed. The description on the site says these details accurately but the pictures made it look like there were two different colored comforters on the bed due to the lighting which made me think there were two bed in addition to the sofa bed. It was totally my misunderstanding as everything is listed properly but don't make the same mistake as me. We were fine with our kids on the sofa bed though and the property was beautiful. We would definitely come again.

This has been my favorite stay in Kona. Steve was a great host, welcoming, accommodating and friendly.The location, close to town but not in the tourist zone, was good for me.The spaces were cozy and quiet with a charming lanai.I am looking forward to returning.

Great stay, friendly and very accommodating host!

We really enjoyed our 7 day stay at Tree Palms. The ocean view was great and the unit was well furnished and quiet. We enjoyed eating breakfast and watching sunset on the porch. The location was very convenient as a base for visiting the Big Island attractions (beaches, botanical garden, volcano, farmer markets) and Costco shopping :-). Our host Steve was very helpful providing info on Kilauea Volcano eruption forecast which enabled us to catch the spectacular one day eruption. He even gave us a coupon for a nearby great Thai restaurant.

Stephen was amazing property was everything that was in the description does not have a full kitchen, but we may do the views from his deck are absolutely spectacular. The scenery of Kona was truly amazing. Definitely be a top contender for next year. Sunsets amazing

Steve has thought of everything a guest might need during there stay and is generous with his amenities. The view is spectacular and the setting so wonderful and relaxing, next to grand trees and lush greenery and with lots of privacy.

Steve was a great host. The accommodations were everything that my wife and I needed for a few days in Kona, and Steve was very helpful with suggestions. We had our own little corner to ourselves, and the view at sunset is amazing. There are cats that will make their appearance, but not once were we bothered by them or were they ever an annoyance. At this location you do share the property, so there will be some things that go bump in the night. Aloha!! And Mahalo Steve.

A quiet residential location, great setting with a wonderful view from the deck. The owner is a helpful resource with information on what to see and do in the area.

Easily the best VRBO experience we've ever had. The property is super clean and well equipped; the rate is reasonable for Hawaii and less than 10 minutes from shopping in Kona. Steve, the host, could not have been more gracious and helpful.The grounds are like something out of a botanical garden, with a view of the ocean beyond Kona and spectacular sunsets. It is blissfully quiet except for the symphony of birds singing. Anyone interested in birding would love this place; we were entranced with an array of brightly colored birds that flitted about the tree canopy in the backyard (most are not endemic, but lovely anyway). I could not recommend this place more.

Beautiful property fully stocked with anything you need.The host meets you coming from the airport and shows you around.Out back is a beautiful lanai with a breathtaking view of the ocean and a lovely table to sit at covered by an umbrella. Great place to stay in a quiet neighborhood close to everything.

We had a wonderful time staying at Three Palms.The host Steve was so gracious and helpful from the beginning to end of our stay. This place is so relaxing and feels like you are at home. The patio was absolutely beautiful to watch the sunset. The bird sounds are relaxing and peaceful all evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Steve was a wonderful host. Even gave me ideas of things to do on the Hilo side of the island. The property was as listed. Gorgeous sunset views! Quiet area, yet close to everything. Would recommend.

This property is very nice and well kept by owner who has a lot of pride in this. It is attached to the back of his house, but entrances and wrap around lanai are completely private. Nice King bed and a variety of pillows for all tastes. The view is amazing as us the entire yard. Perfect setting in a residential area close to everything but far enough away from the Alli Drive noise and traffic.

We had a wonderful stay at the rental.

We have spent a week in Steve’s place at Kona and can not be happier. First of all, the location is great, close to many activities, airport, Kona town. It has great view for watching sunsets-The place is also very clean- and we have high standards for cleaning… the owner lives in the same property so he can address anything immediately. He is very responsive, goes way beyond to make sure that you would have a nice stay. His recommendations were very helpful for us. We highly recommend staying at his place.Sayin that the layout of the rooms might be different than conventional hotel rooms. There are two rooms and they are connected by a bathroom. Also there is no full kitchen at his place but there is a great set up with everything you would need for vacation unless you really want to cook hardcore. He provided us an oven and a big grill so that we can prepare some meals at home. There is also fridge, coffee machine, microwave etc. For us none of these were deal breaker but knowing these things beforehand might be helpful. The owner was very transparent and provided additional information to us. We would definitely stay in Theee pals again

This is our third time at Three Palms and it's always a pleasure. Steve and Ying are always accommodating, friendly hosts whom we've come to look forward to seeing when in Kona
