Great location, beautiful sunsets, enjoyed watching the fish off the lanai every morning. We walked into town for dinners and to shop and quickly accessed all the major roads to get us most anywhere. Things to keep in mind- with no AC it does get very warm in the summer months. The ocean is very close with waves crashing, so it does get loud. Despite those two things we really enjoyed our stay.
Every night we were treated to a spectacular sunset from the wrap-around lanai on every level! The master suite on the 3rd floor was humongous, and the other 3 rooms were big enough for each couple, luggage, and gifts! We stayed in July and the no AC warning is there for a reason, but there are (extra) fans for every room. We did have a small issue with excessive gnat flies due to needing to use the screen doors for air flow, but they were harmless. We had everything we needed for kitchen use- pots, pans, dishes, soap, etc. There is some shopping about a mile walk in either direction which was really nice and it is a quick drive to the "downtown" area. There are a couple of beaches close by (our young teens really enjoyed Magic Sands Beach) and there were Tommy Bahama chairs and beach towels for our use. This is an amazing place for a family or group of people to stay and really enjoy the Kona area!
Overall a great place to stay and cheaper than multiple hotel rooms.Only two minor complaints:Parking is tight but manageable so long as you only have 1 vehicle.Waves can be loud. Great to sleep to, but a bit loud when sitting around the table playing cards. ;)
We had our family of 7 stay for 12 days, The location is fantastic! The ocean is just right out your door. The views amazing. The house has everything you need. Igor our host was awesome. He was very helpful and quick in correspondence. The lack of air conditioning was something that we wished would have been different otherwise we really enjoyed this house.
The property contact person was WONDERFUL!! A water view was visible by all rooms and the sounds of the waves helped me get the best sleep! Parking is tricky but definitely manageable!
You couldnât ask for a better location than this. Right on the water and convenient to restaurants and shopping in Kailua-Kona. We were also very pleased with the hostâs fast communication.
Amazing house! Ocean view from every bedroom and the entire downstairs living area. The house was spotless. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Convenient location - not in the crowded part of town, but close to all the stores, restaurants, and activities. Igor was responsive and helpful. Check-in instructions made access to the property a breeze. Do not pass this place up!
This home is magical! We brought our entire family here for Christmas and had a most wonderful time. The adults could watch the sunset on the upper lanai while the grandboys frolicked in the master tub. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and baking. I hope we have the chance to stay here again.
This location and house was more than we could ever dream! The rooms each had a beach view. The street was busy, but it wasn't awful. We did a full thanksgiving dinner and it was amazing. The waves crashing through the day and night were majestic. We loved it so much.
We came for the Ironman race in October. The house provided the perfect venue as it is a mile and a half south of the pier which allowed us to walk into town when necessary, but also to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the expo the house is also situated on the Run course, providing easy spectating.
The house itself is beautiful and roomy!! There was plenty of room for seven adults to enjoy the incredible views from each lanai. Being situated right on the water, allowed us to fall asleep, and wake to the sound of the ocean waves⊠Doesnât get any better than that.!!
This house isnât fancy but you canât beat the location. It was clean and communication was super easy. The master suite is phenomenal.
Not a ton of space to hang out but you probably wonât be home much anyway. Easy walk to beaches and town. The waves crashing at night were amazing! Incredible view!
This VRBO was clean and everything listed was accurate. Icemaker did not work and was never fixed contrary to promises that it would be fixed; Staff did bring by ice trays. It is off a busy road and the crashing waves are loud, and wonderful.
If you love the sound of crashing waves, amazing sunsets and spacious surroundings this is a great place. Downtown is a short walk away with some great bars, restaurants and shops. Only thing missing would be air conditioning. It can get pretty warm in the house.
If you love the sound of surf and unobstructed ocean views, this house is for you. Older home, well equipped rental with basic amenities. Property manager responded immediately for few issues that came up (stuck shower door, location of fuse box) and was very helpful throughout our stay. Great customer service!
Comfortable beds with each room having ocean view. Bathrooms on second floor are older but perfectly fine. Some reviews mentioned the street noise (home is on a main road) however, the bedrooms and main living area are on the ocean side of the home. Street noise wasnât an issue for us at all. The waves crash against the rocks below the home and are impressive! We loved hearing the ocean.
Small beach is within walking distance and it is about a 15 minute walk into town. Fabulous snorkeling about 3 miles away and grocery stores about a 10 minute drive. Neighborhood was safe..
Beach towels and chairs were available to us for use. The best thing is you are literally on the rocks with nothing in front of you but the ocean.
Very nice. Enjoyed watching the blue ocean, the beautiful moon and its reflection on the waves, the sunset, dolphins jumping, so on. The location is close to the shopping and beaches. Only drawback is the sound of waves crushing on the rocks is a bit too loud.
We all enjoyed our stay. We could see the most beautiful sunsets from all of the rooms and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. The kitchen is well equipped and the house is comfortable with some interesting design features. If youâre tall beware of low doorways on some rooms. We were easily able to walk along the road to get dinner or to a small beach 5 mins away. I recommend this rental for a relaxing stay. Check in was easy and straightforward.
When they say Ocean Front they really mean ocean front
We had a wonderful time. The sunsets were spectacular and the upstairs mbr was a magnificent place to just relax. It took a while to get used to the Surf and since we were there doing the aftermath of a hurricane the surf got pretty intense one and was hitting the bottom of the house pretty consistently. After a while you get used to the roar. Very exciting place to be. Loved watching the surfers
