Kona Wa'a Paradise Getaway

The overall stay was very nice. The layout of the house was a bit strange, but I had read the previous reviews and expected this. The group at Grand Welcome was nice to respond promptly. However, they were not very accommodating. Read the rules carefully of the house as they will be strictly enforced!

Beautiful property, clean, well-appointed kitchen, great location. We had a wonderful time.

As previously stated, the layout is interesting. But the view and location are stunning. The kids loved the private pool. Comfortable beds and space for all 9 of us. Had a bit of an ant problem to start the trip that somehow got into sealed bagels, so take the signs about leaving food out seriously. The property could use a little cosmetic TLC but none of this would stop me from staying here again. I had to ask for check-in instructions because they weren’t sent automatically. Maybe because we arrived on a Sunday? But now that I know these little tricks, I would definitely come back!

The property has beautiful views and excellent sunsets. We had two families and there was plenty of space for all of us. There are two full bathrooms downstairs and one half bath and upstairs there is one full bathroom in the master bedroom with one half bath. Despite no air conditioning we were quite comfortable at night and the fans kept good air flow both at night and during the day with screened doors open throughout. Wonderful neighborhood, great for walking and easy access to Kona. We enjoyed cooking our meals in the kitchen each night. The indoor to outdoor spaces were perfect for a wonderful Hawaiian getaway with friends!

Had everything we need. Amazing views. Great neighborhood. The sounds of birds and geckos in the tropical surrounding.

The house is kind of a funky lay out, but it worked perfect for our group of three different house holds. Beautiful viewed, beautiful pool, and large, comfortable space.

SUCKED

We stayed for a week with family. The house layout is a bit unique in that some bedrooms you had to access outside of main floor. Having our own pool was great and the views were amazing! Would recommend this for larger groups.

As other reviews state, this property is a bit quirky. It is true: walls do not reach the ceiling in the main house. The en suite master bath really means that bed and bathroom are really just one room. It definitely shows signs of aging and could use some new appliances. But-- there are actually 3 full baths and 2 half baths (despite descriptions to the contrary). The view is to die for. It has space aplenty. Generally it is a fabulous place for a gathering of your clan. We would happily go again.

The pool and the view are honestly spectacular. The location is great if you’re renting a car (which we did). Super easy to get dt and to other areas on the island as you can quickly hop on the highway. The checkin process is super easy and the house is nice if your bringing a little one as all of the stairs to access the bottom floor and pool are outside so there is no danger to the little one if everyone keeps the doors closed. The kitchen is well stocked and the company running the property was prompt when answering any of my questions. A couple of things to note. The home does show noticeable age in some areas which you don’t see in the photos (not a big deal to us but something to note). It’s hard to understand but all of the rooms on the top floor share one ceiling so you can see lights and hear noise from all of the other rooms (something to be aware of depending on the group). The cleanliness is an area I wanted to mention. There was mold on the fridge water/ice dispenser, old water bottles under beds, and our towels smelt like they weren’t washed before we arrived. I think this is an opportunity for improvement for the future. Overall we all did have a lovely stay!
