  • Oct 07, 2025 Location was perfect Location was perfect for the Ironman World Championships in Kona. Beautiful house and comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked. Nice to have a washer and dryer. Jackie D
  • Jun 22, 2025 amazing views! We had a great stay at the house . Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful house with amazing views! Yisroel F
  • May 24, 2025 Loved this home and highly recommend it!! Pictures are accurate and can’t really capture the beauty of the view and outdoor lanai area! Very comfortable home. AC in bedrooms worked well at night. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. Grill is hard-lined, so no worry about propane level. Plenty of dishes and serving platters/bowls. Pool and hot tub (not jetted, but nice and warm) stay very clean with whatever filter system they use. Opening up all of the doors on all sides when you’re home is lovely! Outdoor dining table is perfect for meals during sunset. Path in front of home to Queen’s Bath (small beach) is easy and a great place for a nice swim (watch out for urchins!). Very convenient to airport, Costco, Target, groceries, restaurants/shops on Ali’i Drive. Washer/dryer worked really well. Great pool towels and flat, sand-free beach towels provided. Big closet with beach/pool equipment/toys left by previous guests (we contributed, too!). Check closet before renting any equipment. I was worried that pond/fountain would mean more bugs, but that wasn’t a problem at all. Sound of water flowing over rocks and into pond is so relaxing. We felt very safe in the gated neighborhood. Having a code (rather than keys) for all of the doors was very convenient. Communication with management about any questions we had during our stay was very efficient and thorough. Tanya R
  • Mar 14, 2025 We all would stay here again! Such a beautiful house and property with fantastic sunset views. We saw whales spouting and some playful dolphins. Short walk to a nice sandy beach for our two-year-old. Pickleball was in walking distance as well as many shops and restaurants. We were nervous about the gated community aspect, but it was super easy and not an issue. The indoor space was huge and nicely appointed. The house worked well for our 8 adults and one child. The loft bedroom was up a winding stairway and proved to be not so difficult for bathroom runs in the night using the half bath restroom on the first floor. Pretty views from the loft too. We ran into an issue with the hot tub. The property manager was very responsive and kind about it and gave us a discount for the inconvenience. The house is close to both the airport in Kona and Costco. The kitchen was great for cooking and was definitely the heart of the home along with the stunning outdoor space. Cathy K
  • Feb 12, 2025 Very nice place and well equipped. As advertised. Hot tub didn’t work but everything else was in working order and very enjoyable. I would rent this place again for sure and tell anyone else looking at it to “ just do it”! Royce A
  • Jan 19, 2025 We absolutely enjoyed our VRBO. The property was perfect for our stay. It was within walking distance of downtown, beautiful sunsets, whale watching and a perfect walk everyday to the beach. Marcie K
  • Dec 13, 2024 Outstanding property Chris M
  • Nov 16, 2024 This place was outstanding! It looked just like the pictures, was very peaceful, had a great view of the ocean and a lovely private pool and hot tub. My family enjoyed viewing the tide pools directly in front of the house and visiting the lagoon which was just a short jaunt down the shoreline. We had such an amazing time on the Big Island ❤️ Thank you! Jessica M

  • May 27, 2024 This house was great! The location is unbeatable. Easy to access from the airport and town of Kona. The community is nice, and feels safe. The walk to the lagoon/beach is easy, and very kid-friendly. Our kids loved the pool, we enjoyed the patio while watching the waves and dolphins! The house had everything we needed, and management was easy to communicate with. If we ever get a chance to make it back to The Big Island, we will plan to stay here again! Lisa B
  • May 01, 2024 Beautiful views and very close to great restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, etc. Lovely! Amy O
  • Apr 05, 2024 We have stayed in many Kona Bay properties and this house has one of the best locations. Wonderful to be able to open the house up for the ocean breeze and sound of the waves. Large house with plenty of open space. Pool was nice. Very much enjoyed our stay. Tim C
  • May 14, 2023 Nothing short of amazing! The location, the house were unmatched. The whole house opened up so there was a constant breeze rolling through. The pool, hot-tub were in great condition. The views were astonishing. The place lived up to every expectation. Amazing, Amazing stay. We will certainly be back! Jeremy M
  • Mar 12, 2023 House was in a beautiful oceanfront location with beautiful lava rock shoreline and a small beach area nearby. Near downtown Kailua Kona and plenty of restaurants, etc. Rules about AC/wearing shoes may seem unreasonable but weren't difficult, left sandals at door. Living area was best left open. Management was very responsive when WiFi not functional, etc. Would definitely recommend. Scott F
  • Mar 03, 2023 Beautiful, relaxing and fun Amy A
