This is a lovely property. The house is beautiful with tons of space for sleeping and lounging - both indoors and out. Lovely garden that leads to a black rock beach. Accessible to everything we wanted to do in the Kona area. Highly recommend.
We stayed in this property for 5 nights.
The good- It is a beautiful home in a nice location.
The not so good-I found the property manager not very responsive. Before our trip I'd emailed her a question. I never got a response. I emailed a second time and did receive a response then. Also, I did not receive the front door code several days before our arrival as promised. The night we arrived I called and emailed the property manager. When I did get in touch with her she told me it was sent in the VRBO app (which I don't have). All of our communication prior had been done through the website and I expected the entry information to be through the same channels. I feel like she's lacking in communication.
The guest information book notes to keep counters clean and doors closed because they do have a bug problem for which they spray monthly. Our first day there the small ants began showing up all over the counter. We didn't leave food out on the counter and wiped it clean after each use. The bugs were so bad that one morning at breakfast the ants were crawling all over the plate of bacon 5 minutes after I'd finished cooking before it had been plated! We also had a huge cockroach in our main bedroom one night.
The "beach" is a very rocky and rough area next to an apartment complex that is not beautiful, appealing or accessible.
The pool is closed through 08/23 and we were not told about this ahead of time. I only found out when I asked the manager for the code.
The home was amazing! It had everything we needed and more. Very nicely decorated and spacious. Ritika is a wonderful host. She was quick to respond to our questions. The location is perfect. Close to shopping and many other adventures. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home.
House was absolutely beautiful! Photos are accurate. House was extremely well appointed--had everything we needed (especially nicely appointed kitchen) and then some. Great location. Enjoyed our two week stay in Kona.
The place looks just like the photos. The house is spacious, clean, and quiet. My family enjoyed it very much. It has a great view of the ocean, and close to everywhere if you are going to spend most of your time in Kona. Keep in mind that you will need tennis shoes in case you are going to play. No running shoes allowed.
We needed an extra hair dryer so the property manager was kind enough to get us another extra.
We would love to visit again! It felt like home!
