Wonderful spot
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and the perfect set up for our family of five. We used the kitchen a lot to cook, especially breakfast and dinner. There were lots of supplies for beach days, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, even a wagon. The location was very convenient and made exploring the Kona coast so easy.

Perfect Thanksgiving Holiday
In 2013 we had stayed in Kona at a hotel. but this time we wanted to rent a house to have more flexibility. We came across this listing and could not believe this house was available.
We got the three bedrooms as we figured our daughters (20 & 17) would not want to share a room...we were wrong. They shared the room with the twin beds and loved it. The kitchen was brand new and updated. Everything we needed was there.
We especially enjoyed the deck/lanai in the morning where we had breakfast/tea/coffee.
A bonus for us was that the house had beach chairs, boogie boards, and coolers for our beach days. Also, it was a few minutes to walk to Magic Sands Beach. After traveling for many hours it was perfect to walk to the beach and see the sunset on our arrival day.
We would happily stay here again.

Perfect quiet rental
The house was beautiful, very well kept, and in a perfect location for us. Walk to the beach and restaurants and short drive to shopping center and the harbor to go fishing. Only 20mins from the airport as well. Highly recommend it!

Perfection
If I could leave 6 stars I would. Can't express enough how great a stay we had. The house was perfectly comfortable wnd all bedrooms had AC. Foe the beach, they had what you needed. Boogey boards, snorkels, beach chairs, coolers, a wagon, they even had Aloe for those inevitable days of too much sun. Walking distance to the beach, a few miles from some great restaurants. If you're in Kona, this is the place to stay!!

Convienient, comfortable and a bit exotic
Very nice home. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding and very nice family room area. The wrap around deck provided a great place to relax and admire the tropical surroundings.
Convienient to multiple shopping and dining options. Check out Gypsea Gelato.

Perfect home for a family get away!
We'll definitely be looking to rent this wonderful home again if ever back on the island! It had everything we needed and you couldn't beat the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the third bedroom now has two twin beds instead of a pull out couch. All in all, we were very happy with our booking!
