Pahukoa Hale - Direct Ocean Front Hawaiian Style home in Kona Bay Estates.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed for the week, three adults and two kids ages 9 & 7. We had a wonderful time! The location is secure via a monitored security gate. The house is very inviting with plenty of comfortable places to lounge both inside and outside in the shade of the veranda. The pool is large and the kids had fun with all of the pool toys. Our beds were comfortable and nicely appointed. We loved the fact of no air-conditioning. There are fans in every room and at night we were very comfortable sleeping. No AC made it easier to acclimate to the weather and with the windows always open we enjoyed the constant sound of the birds and the ocean! Mornings we walked over to the lagoon for wading, exploring and snorkeling, plenty to do. Just minutes from town, the house is in a great location. The home is clean and well stocked with towels, linens, etc. The kitchen has all the equipment you need for home cooked/grilled meals. There is no pantry, so no spices, no salt & pepper are available. Coffee maker with filters (thank you) and blender worked great. I liked how the management staff checked in with me a few times via text, making sure all was well. They were very nice and responded quickly to my few requests. I would highly recommend this Hawaiian home to my friends and family, especially those seeking the peace of a quaint sanctuary.

Exactly as described. Perfect location, Peaceful, Beautiful, Relaxing. Property is all about Location, Character and Charm.

Love this place

Overall, my stay was ok. The big issue is no AC. They need to invest an AC unit period. It would be ok if the property had good air flow from the beach but where the property sits, ZERO air flow so with no AC it was not fun. The surrounding houses block all the great wind from the Island. I was never 100% comfortable during my stay even the pool needs an update.

Home was as described. My only complaint would be the broken window slats need to be fixed. I was alone one night and didn’t feel secure as I couldn’t close some of the large windows. So, I didn’t sleep.

We spend most of our time relaxing on the patio, cooling off in the pool, and enjoying the beautiful view. The home is well equipped and the Knutson team are very easy and friendly to work with.

Fantastic location with great snorkeling if you walk out the back and follow the path to the right. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was in a perfect location, in a beautiful and private gated community with 24/7 security. The house was right on the oceanfront and just a few steps away from a small private beach. Downtown Kailua was easy walking distance, and the home was spacious and comfortable for our family of 6. The sounds of the ocean and waves were feet away. There were walking trails nearby and the airport was only a 15 minute drive. The pool could use some updating but it was perfect to be able to walk out the lanai and cool off in every evening. We ate all our meals out on the lanai looking at the ocean and breaking waves. There was a local mongoose that hung out around the house and we even met several neighbors as they walked out to the beach in the evenings to watch the sunset. The home was stocked with beach and snorkel gear which was awesome as we had initially expected to need to rent this equipment. We took day trips to the South end of the island to Black Sands, the central part of the island to Mauna Kea, the Northwest part of the island and into the Kailua-Kona rainforest for a hike and coffee tour at Mountain Thunder. The hosts/management team were exceptional and always very responsive to any and all questions we had, and checkin/checkout process was so easy. We absolutely loved our stay and built memories that will last a lifetime for all of us.

Great location if you want to be close to downtown Kona. We loved the classic Hawaiian vibe. The patina adds character. Thank you

The house is cozy, and the location just can't be beat. Going to bed and waking up to the sound of the ocean is my idea of a memorable Hawaii experience. The house is very well equipped with all your daily essentials. The gated safe neighborhood was an added plus.
