Kona Spectacular Ocean Front 5BR, 4BA Pool,Spa,AC

We had issues on arrival where the outdoor water connection was flooding. Host saw to it immediately, we were told that the pool was good to use but my family didn’t feel that it was useable.Unit 2 in the house had issues with the bed where what looked like termite droppings kept appearing under the bed in the daily after we vacuumed. Will share photos, wasn’t an issue but wanted to inform host.Downstairs bathroom had a lot of bugs coming up from the drain pipes which looked as if the house wasn’t used in some time, they were gone after we flushed the drains a couple of times with hot water.Overall the location is beautiful, Joe the maintenance man was so friendly and took an interest in making our stay memorable.The house has its quirks but all in all the property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay for the most part

It was a lovely house with the capacity for a lot of people to stay there. The view was lovely and the location was great. The busy road in the front of the house was loud and was frightening when pulling out or parking. The pool was smaller than the pictures showed but the kids loved it anyways! We were disappointed the hammock was unusable and I reported that but it hadn't been fixed by the time we left.I miss listening to the roar of the ocean.

The house was beautiful with an incredible location.My only complaint was that the water heater could use an upgrade. I was in bedroom 1 and getting a hot shower was a challenge.

You cant beat this view! We had 12 people, 6 kids,6 adults from 5-16yrs. The covered lower lani was great for them to play games when it rained and the upper lani is were the adults hung out! House was clean and an a/c for every bed! We were able to snorkel right out of the house. Surfers were out there every morning and evening! All the ladies enjoied there drinks in the hot tub!

Great location for this house. It is walkable to some small restaurants and a short drive to downtown. The host was very easy to communicate with and the house was well stocked and met our needs. The view is amazing. Surfers, whales, and sunsets were always an attraction. The loss of one star is due to the advertised sleeping arrangements. Had we had our full group this would have been an issue, but a smaller group worked very well. One king bed is located outside and some sleeping was in common living areas. BBQ needs some attention too.

Beautiful location.

Wonderful location. Great view. Comfortable. Well equipped kitchen.

Fantastic location and house for a large family Christmas vacation.

Great property, great location, very clean, we would definitely stay here again with our family. House was well stocked with all that we needed for our stay. Host was responsive when we had questions. Comfortable space for a large family.

5 Stars – Perfect Kona Getaway!Our stay at this incredible rental in Kona was absolutely spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the attention to detail in every corner of the property. The space was spacious, immaculately clean (congrats to their amazing crew I met them they are awesome!!) and felt like a true home away from home. We especially loved the outdoor patio and the serene surroundings—perfect for sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying sunsets in the evenings.The house had everything we needed for ultimate relaxation and fun. The jacuzzi was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring, and the swimming pool was a refreshing way to cool off. We also enjoyed the BBQ area for grilling and the variety of games available—great for both relaxing evenings and family fun. One small suggestion for improvement would be to add a bit more lightning in the outdoor games area to make it even more enjoyable.The location was ideal for exploring Kona, with everything we needed just a short drive away, yet tucked away enough to enjoy some peace and quiet. The host was incredibly welcoming, providing us with all the information we needed for a seamless stay.This place exceeded our expectations in every way, and we honestly can’t wait to come back! It’s now officially our go-to spot for future visits to Kona. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch rental in the area!

Great location…surfers and sunsets from the lanai and hot tub

Beautiful Place!

Pros: Staying all together as a family right on the water was a beautiful experience. We spent each morning on the lanai watching the surfers on Lyman's wave & enjoying the gorgeous tropical fish, rays & dolphins playing in the surf. The sunsets were amazing from the lanai as well. My husband & I slept on the outdoor bed the entire trip. It was amazing. Even during the rainy nights, we were so comfortable & content to be outside lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.We spent many of our days walking to Magic Sands beach. Highlight was when a sea turtle sneak up on us & nibbled the back of my son's leg. A great Hawaii memory for sure. We also enjoyed the small dipping pool & hot tub when we weren't up for walking down to the beach.Cons:Some of the more adventurous in our group braved the lava rocks just below the house to swim/surf. The area is heavy with urchins, they all suffered stings & rock scrapes from their adventures but were happy, nonetheless.The driveway is short & traffic on the road is pretty steady. I recommend backing into the driveway/garage for easy exits. We rented a van that barely fit in the driveway. There is room for four vehicles. Two in the garage & two in the driveway but you will have to play musical cars to get them out. Sometimes having a group member stop traffic was necessary. FIL complained of road noise in the upstairs bedroom on the East side of the house.The house has rust/wear and tear. Didn't bother us but don't expect perfection.

The positives: The view is second to none and we really enjoyed the serenity that came with that... the house was spacious and housed our group of 4 adults, 3 teens and a child well and there were plenty of towels and bedding. The pool was a great temperature and the hot tub was good once we cooled it down enough (the cover does its job well!). We were happy with the pool items supplied, the snorkeling gear, the outdoor games, the kitchen items (including things like oil, salt and pepper etc) and the queen bed outside on the lanai was truly relaxing at the right time of day. Being able to park 2 cars, use 2 kitchens and shower across 4 bathrooms at the same time was excellent too.The negatives: - The screen-doors upstairs and to the pool are either a struggle or are non functional at all and the gnats are next level (the owners cant stop gnats though). The solid sliding doors to the lanai do not have a lock at all and this was a safety issue that left us feeling uneasy altogether. We had seen it mentioned on previous reviews, but assumed it would be rectified, but it has not.- The road is very busy and driveway is short, so you have to stop traffic to be able to open the garage to park and then pull back out.This house has SO much potential and it would only take some minor improvements to make it an excellent property.

The ocean views are spectacular and the location in Kona is great, close to attractions and restaurants. The house is spacious and that second level lanai is the main attraction. That being said, the home itself is older and tired. Repairs and maintenance are sorely lacking, the interior finishes are rocking a 1980’s vibe and the furniture is showing its wear. There is a not insignificant bug problem, mainly because certain doors, windows and openings are not completely sealed or are broken. The house could use a deep cleaning, as it appears the turnover staff does the bare minimum between guest stays. The upstairs beds are comfortable but the downstairs beds, especially those in the room with the bunkbed, really need replacing. The lack of air conditioning in the upstairs main living and kitchen area is disappointing, as that is the main entertaining and living space - sure you could leave the lanai doors open, but then risk the mosquito invasion that will occur. The pool and hot tub need more maintenance and TLC than they are getting. The grounds themselves are beautiful and welcoming. Some guest reviews note the difficult parking situation and trying to get back out onto a busy road - we managed it ok. That is just what comes with getting an oceanfront property in this location. Overall, this property has a ton of promise - it just needs some investment to fix and improve the interior. Full window and door replacement and upgrading the A/C situation would be a good start.

We enjoyed our stay this year at this beautiful home! The house had more than enough beds for everyone and it was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed listening to the waves crash into the rocks 24/7, very relaxing! We had no idea about the show we got to watch every morning when all the surfers came out to Lyman’s Cove. It was a great treat being able to sit in the hot tub or on the deck and watch them all day long! We already miss this home and will definitely be back!

The location on the shore is perfect! This was a great place for our family group. The lanai was our favorite room almost any time of the day. The local contact was very helpful.The following info is for the managers: Termites in bedroom 3 were eating the boards on the bed so that needs attention. The folding door outside by the water heaters needs immediate attention; the wind almost blew it off. The toilet in bedroom 1 needs attention because it’s wasting water.

The location is good. The road is extremely busy and you will need to have someone stop traffic to get on the road. The carpet on the stairs is disgustingly filthy..it should be replaced! We prohibited our toddlers from using the stairs because we didn’t want them touching the carpet.The sliding patio door does not work properly and the screen did not work on one side.I understand this is a rental property, but if you are going to advertise a ping pong table, it should be in working order. The paddles were non functional and the one ping pong ball was flat. We had to move one of the couches to get an object, and it clearly hadn’t been moved in quite a while. The bedrooms and bathrooms were fine.Bottom line, this was an extremely expensive rental before they add all the fees and taxes. We expected more.

Outstanding location, right on the water, with great views and a real feeling of being at a private resort. Wonderful features and lay out. Property managers were very responsive and solved a small problem immediately.

The house had plenty of room to accommodate our party of 15 adults. The views off the back lanais are indescribable. Dolphins were a giving us some morning entertainment on one of our mornings there. We drove a little way down to Hapuna Beach and saw sea turtles. Magic Sands Beach was just a mile down the road and a great little spot. It was never crowded when we went or drove by on our way to our next adventure. This stay has actually gotten my family and me Looking into moving there. The hosts were very helpful, extremely quick with responses to any of my questions. I highly recommend this place for a gorgeous and peaceful getaway.
