Stunning Ocean Views + Designer Designed Kona Home

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent communication from the agent, and beautiful location for our stay. My daughters and I were on the west side of the island for an extra few days and found this location. It was peaceful and picturesque, and we enjoyed several fun days in this location. Easy access to downtown Kona and the surrounding areas, and beautiful views to the ocean from the high elevation. Very minor snafu with the internet on arrival, but the agent worked quickly with repair folks to get it resolved."
