Tropical oasis in Kona: Resort style heated pool, Hot tub & Ocean views

This may be the best VRBO we've stayed in. My two adult daughters and their husbands and I stayed at this beautiful house for 10 days. We spent mornings at a beach but always came back for afternoons at the lovely private pool and surroundings. The house has everything you need. In fact, I told the 'kids' that if they didn't find something they needed (especially in the kitchen) then they weren't looking hard enough. It was an amazingly well-equipped kitchen. It was easy not only to make meals there, but we had our pick of pans to make my daughter's birthday cake, frozen cubes for packing lunches, and choices of coffee pots. The beds were great, the bathrooms well planned out, and the open space made it easy to spend time with each other. Others have mentioned the pool area which is no surprise. It is airy, beautifully landscaped, and the pool was always just right. Access to the house was easy. Sean was always available and couldn't have been more helpful. We recommend this VRBO to everybody.

We enjoyed three weeks at the Kona House of Palms. The pool made this property worth every penny. Very private with lush tropical garden and lava rock waterfall. Great location in secure, quiet gated community. Super clean and had everything we needed for kids and grandkids. Highly recommend.

Sean is great to work with and communicates promptly. The home has everything you can possibly need and everything is in impeccable shape. We enjoyed the pool and pool toys, the BBQ and all of the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and ice chest too! The neighborhood is beautiful and so peaceful. We will definitely choose Kona House of Palms when returning to the Big Island.

This property was in excellent condition and was very well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Communication was great, and access via keypad entry was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We absolutely would stay here again.

Beautiful home. We had everything we needed and more. Host was very responsive. Excellent stay.

We had an excellent stay - house was beautiful and as advertised. Great location!

Sitting at home writing this review wishing I could be back at Sean and Anjali house on Kona. Our stay was perfect, the house was perfect! Best rental we’ve ever had on the Big Island! Every amenity you could think of was provided in the house. The house and grounds were gorgeous - well stocked with indoor and outdoor kitchenware, bath & pool towels galore, pool & beach supplies, bug spray lol you name it, they have it! The pool was our favorite place to be. Our two kids (3 and 5) spent endless hours swimming so much so that we will forever have the memory of our 5 year old learning how to swim from the deep end to shallow end all by himself :-) & the sunsets oh how I will miss. There is a beautiful spot on the side of the house to watch it set. Thank you Sean and Anjali for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Hope to be back sooner than later!

My family and I stayed at this wonderful home for a few days at the start of our trip. It was in the perfect location, spacious, and the pool was perfect for an evening swim after adventuring around the island. They have everything—extra pool towels, beach supplies, and pool toys! The hosts were also super responsive to any questions I had and was so kind to let us have an early check-in AND late check-out, given their calendar. I would absolutely stay here again!

Property is beautiful - just like the pictures! We fully enjoyed the pool and Kona - thank you!

Property was amazing! The owners had all the necessary supplies to make our trip as comfortable as home. We loved the pool, hot tub and the area made the sights and restaurants very accessible! Thank you for the experience!!!

Our whole family agreed that this was the best family vacation we've ever taken and it was in large part due to our stay at this beautiful rental. The property itself is beautiful, safe, and clean. Whenever I arrive to a rental/hotel, I always clean first. This is the first time that I didn't need to clean and that alone is impressive (for me). The owners of this home have truly thought of everything- it felt like a home away from home. The pool was a favorite for my youngest, but it was all wonderful- grilling on the patio, watching a movie in the living room, and being in such a perfect location for everything on the island.I must personally thank Sean and Anjali for sharing their beautiful home with us and for their kind generosity. My husband set the bar high in requesting a birthday surprise for his 40th and he was blown away. Thank you!

This is the best VRBO I have stayed at so far.It is clean, comfortable, and comes with everything you could need, from pool toys to rice cooker.

This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed at through VRBO. The gated community was easy to access and central to all of our excursions around the Kona-Kailua area. The property is phenomenal - very clean, and with all of the amenities you would require. The welcome snacks and information was a wonderful surprise for a family with teens and kids.The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable.The highlight was the backyard - private with an unbelievable pool with great lighting and it was where we spent all of our time while at the house.There was also a bunch of toys/equipment that we were able to use at the beach - chairs, umbrellas, bodysurfing boards and snorkel equipment.A experience and we would definitely stay again when we come back.

Sean and Anjali’s home is the most ideal property for a visit to Kona if you’re looking for a fully equipped kitchen to cook your own meals, the privacy of having your own pool and hot tub, and proximity to all itineraries on the western part of Big Island. We traveled as a multigenerational family of grandparents, parents, and young kids and every one of us enjoyed our stay. We brought a lot of our own pre-cooked frozen meals so we could focus more on daily outings and adventures. We greatly appreciated that the house was well stocked with everything we needed for beach days and had plenty of towels and accessories/games for a stay with kids. Thank you for hosting us and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

terrific stay - great place & location

Very nice setup and excellent amenities provided by hosts. One of best we've stayed in.

Awesome property set up with everything we needed for our stay. Property was a great base for us throughout our stay. Sean was very helpful throughout the stay!
