Kailua Kona, Home between the beaches & Kona town, 10 min from airport.

10/10 Excellent
"This place was in the perfect location to explore Kona. It exceeded our expectations and was exactly as described. The beds were really comfortable, the kitchen was huge and there was ample space for our family of 7. The pool, treehouse and backyard were great for the family. I would definitely love to stay here again."

Beautiful Pool with Stunning Ocean and Sunset Views

Beautiful Pool with Stunning Ocean and Sunset Views

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay overall, and the home had several features that worked well for our family. The pool was a great way to cool off after spending time at the beach, and we appreciated the large selection of beach gear, including water shoes in a variety of sizes. The location was convenient for exploring the island, and there was plenty of space for everyone to gather, both on the lanai and around the kitchen island.There were a few areas that could be improved. The home was missing some basic essentials that we’ve come to expect in a vacation rental, such as paper towels, laundry detergent, and extra pool and beach towels. The house also does not have air conditioning, which made the middle part of the day quite hot. Additional fans would make a big difference in keeping the home more comfortable.The BBQ grill was another disappointment. It didn’t heat well, and burgers took about 30 minutes to cook. Even then, I had to finish cooking them on the stove inside.One other issue we encountered was with the TV. It required a PIN to download additional streaming apps, and unfortunately the host did not know the PIN. While watching TV isn’t a priority on a Hawaiian vacation, our family was hoping to watch the World Cup together, and we ended up streaming it on a cell phone and laptop instead.Overall, the home has a lot of potential thanks to its location, pool, beach gear, and spacious layout. Addressing these few items would make the experience much more enjoyable."

"The house was clean, nice layout, great Wi-Fi and plenty of room.We didn’t get a chance to grill because the grill was no good rusted out and that’s one of our biggest things we like to do as a family when we go on vacation vacations but besides that the pool was great but very hot with no air-conditioning.Thanks again"
