Beautiful house in the mountains close to Kona center

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was in great shape and the small issues we had Gordon resolved right away. Although our kids are older, the house was well set up for little kids.

Great for our family

This home was well equipped for our stay. We like to cook in and the kitchen had what we needed! The lanai and the views of the ocean and sunsets were really awesome. Location is a little interesting but you definitely feel like you're in the tropics with lots of birds and creatures making sounds in the night. The cow and the rooster added to the experience. Only complaint was the yapping dogs at the neighbors house. We also appreciated the beach gear - cooler, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards. Overall a very nice home and I would recommend it!

Enjoying Hawaii in Kona

Gordon’s house is a very good size for 6 people. The view and sunsets were delightful. We had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. I liked all the updated appliances. We would stay here again. My husband and I thought the beds were a little too soft but my daughter and husband had no complaints. We had trouble with a TV but there were three of them and two were sufficient for our enjoyment. Mehallo Gordon. The house is equally situated between Kona and some very nice beaches.

Family getaway for midwinter break

We had an awesome trip to Kona and a great stay at the Blue Marlin Lodge. A beautiful home with a beautiful view. The house was very clean and well appointed from plenty of extra linens, to kitchen supplies and comfortable furniture/bedding. Shawn and Kimberly truly go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need for your stay. We arrived and found a plethora of brand new baby and kid items which made the stay with our 4 and 1 year old nephews that much nicer. Activities and beaches were all a quick drive and the home came with lots of great beach gear (pop-up shelter, beach wagon, rolling cooler, boogie boards, towels and snorkeling gear). Don’t forget about the neighbor’s goats and cow in the surrounding yard - our kids loved feeding them fresh papaya from one of the many papaya trees on the property. The hosts even left some hay for the kids to feed them. Check in was a breeze. The hosts reached out and let us know we could check in early since the house was ready. When we arrived the house was open with fans going and windows open…felt like we were checking into a nice hotel :) Check out was also great. Our flights were delayed for several hours and the hosts graciously allowed us to take our time checking out that day. We cleaned up like we would our own home (excluding scrubbing bathrooms and doing the laundry) and were refunded our cleaning fee. I’m sure I’m leaving off a lot of other great things, but you get it - this is a great place to stay! Thank you Shawn and Kimberly! We’d come back again for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Inscore

Host profile image
I am originally from Florida, but after the BP oil spill wrecked havoc on the commercial fishing industry, I decided it was time for a change. I moved to Kona in 2015 and began charter fishing. I thought my biggest catch to date was an 802 pound blue marlin, until I met my wife & sport photographer Kimberly. We enjoy working together, catching big game fish and capturing those adrenaline filled moments on our charters.

Why they chose this property

Why stay in a condominium, when you can stay in a brand new home? Located in a comfortable elevation with birds, nature and privacy. Yet still close to Kona town. All of the beds have comfortable mattresses. The pillows and beds are in sanitary slips, keeping them fresh and clean for each guest. If you are looking for a more tropical feel and appreciate peace and tranquility, you have come to the right place! Fruit trees and friendly animals are your neighbors. Yet your hosts are close by to assist with any of your needs.

What makes this property unique

You feel like you're in the country, but all the amenities are close by. Enjoy some fresh papaya, located throughout the property.

There is a security gate, you may close anytime, and exterior cameras for your added safety and peace of mind.
