Kona Hawaii's Most Unique Ocean-View Vacation Home...Sweeping Ocean Views

This was such a nice base for our trip. Every night was a treat and the view over Kailua-Kona was a great surprise. Sunsets were spectacular.

Very beautiful view, clean, relaxing house that was big enough for 5. Fully equipped kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet neighborhood, easy to cook simple meals in the kitchen, laundry available. We didn’t use the outdoor equipment, but hosts had lots available. The space was clean and easy to get to stores, town area and highway to travel the coast. No A/c but lots of ocean breezes. Just to note that two bedrooms are on one side and share a bathroom and the third bathroom is on the other side with bathroom. For two couples it worked well. Thanks for the stay.

It was a lovely, clean place and Barry was friendly and helpful. The stairs were a bit much for our elderly mother but we enjoyed it very much! An actual dining table was the only thing I would suggest adding to the furniture. Overall an excellent place!

Everything was great!

Great place.

Overall good. There is a LOT to like about this place. Unlike in most places I have rented in the past, the owners leave a lot of the items donated by past guests in case they are useful to subsequent guests. That is cool. There is abundant sun screen, bug spray, sunglasses, tons of stuff of that nature that you will not have to buy if you forget to bring it from home. The house is large and airy. And they have a pool table! But do not be fooled by appearances, especially where the pool table is concerned: this is not a party house. The quiet rules are strictly enforced and that is cool. We had not looked at the house rules again since booking so forgot that the place had to be quiet by 11 pm on a Saturday night. This was unfortunate for us since we had returned from a wedding and wanted to visit more with friends, but understandable from the owner's perspective. I am not super keen on how things were communicated (owner sat outside on his front porch and turned visiting friends away rather than coming upstairs to discuss with us personally), but I suspect the owner wasn't too pleased with us having violated his rules, either. After I went downstairs to speak to him, I heard for myself that all the noise upstairs can be clearly heard outside and the striking pool balls are loud. In this quiet place, I can understand why the owner needs to keep these rules. By 11:30 everything in this quiet neighborhood was back to being...quiet. Bummer because we were having such fun at the pool table. Check in was a bit unfortunate as well since we didn't get instructions on how to enter the property until I called VRBO for help the morning we arrived. I had not heard back from the owner although I had messaged him a day or two before arriving on Big Island. In my experience, access info is provided 24-48 hours in advance. I was getting worried that something had gone wrong. Everything worked out fine, we appreciated the help from VRBO, and our stay was most enjoyable. Apologies to the owner for our lapse in following the quiet rules.

A beautiful house with a great view of the ocean and spectacular sunsets. Close to shops and restaurants, you can’t beat the location. The house is equipped with everything you need and the beds were comfortable. Owners are super nice, would highly recommend this rental.

So much space, so well done, hard to go back to reality after this property. Ocean views in the morn, starry nights in the eve. 10 minutes from town. Plus plus.
