Great location, beautiful home!

We had a great time! Lovely home, great location. House had an unobstructed view of the water- it is in the “second row” of homes, but they’re spaced nicely and nothing blocks the view. You’re able to get down to the water directly from the property where we snorkeled and even sat in the rocks to drink our coffee in the mornings! Magic Sand's Beach is a short walk from the home. It’s a popular, somewhat busy beach, but it had great waves for boogie boarding and was nice to have something close when you just have enough time for a quick beach visit. The house was beautiful with plenty of room and comfortable accommodations. We loved the big sliders to listen to the waves! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and appliances (and even coolers and extra water bottles). The property managers were quick to respond and accommodating- even just over email. We would definitely stay here again! It was hard to leave!

Beautiful spot in great location

The property itself is great. High ceilings, decks on 2 floors, great views of the surf coming in. Well equipped. One thing that would have been helpful is some light on the lower deck. BBQing in the dark wasn't easy. But that's a small thing in the grand scheme. The pool was good and it would have been great to snorkel off the end of the garden, but not when there's a swell like we had. Waves were too big. We did get to Captn Cook and Two Step though, both protected bays with great snorkeling -and since the property is to the south of Kona both were pretty easy to get to (15 and 30 minutes).

Property is gorgeous-location and view could not have been better. well stocked kitchen. A few minor things, offered repair very quickly (toilet paper roll, shower door) lots of hot water, towels, good linens comfortable seating inside and outside, nice pool with perfect water temperature. Right next to Magic Sands Beach. If you added a tv in second suite and a Keurig - for me would be 10/10. Will recommend to friends.

Great Stay

Great house in a good location. The kitchen is well stocked and the little welcome cooler of goodies, including a jar of multiple spices was a great touch! Emailed communication was clear and concise and we had no issues following the directions to the house. The house is comfortable with plenty of outdoor seating options as well.

Simply perfect in every way

This home does exactly what it says in the description. It was so close to the best snorkeling on the island and an amazing Restuarant/bar. A bus stopped righted outside if you don't want to drive and helps make mist places easily accessible. The entrance gate could be noisy but didn't spoil anything for us. We will definitely be looking at booking again very soon.

Beautiful View

We enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai looking at the beautiful view. You can go through the locked gate to the ocean/lava rocks all tho difficult entry to go snorkeling. Easy access to downtown. The house is close to the front entrance gate and so there is a good amount of street noise as well as noise from the gate opening and closing, but we all got use to it. A/C worked well. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need. Wish the pool was open longer than 30 minutes after sunset. Amazing sunsets from the pool area. Overall, a wonderful house.

Kailua

Very well appointed unit (kitchen, linens, furniture etc.) Everything was in great shape. We were a little disappointed in the pool and hot tub hours (9:00am to 30 minutes after sunset). This unit is located directly behind the entry gate which is a loud metal gate. It would be nice if a soft closing mechanism could be installed. The dishes, appliances, pots and pans, etc. were over the top and in great condition. They only forgot one thing - a Keurig!

Dreamy Location

Location can not be beat! The sound of the waves crashing, the cool breeze blowing and all of the tropical lush landscape make this home the perfect place to escape! The home, so well appointed, was comfortable and cozy for our Christmas celebration and had everything we needed to prepare our meals in the well equipped and stocked kitchen. Had the space we needed to spread out and the peace and quiet we needed to truly rest. Steps from Magic’s beach (one of the most beautiful on this side of the island and popular for surfers too) the views were simply stunning. The pool/hot tub are perfect places to watch the sunset and if you’re lucky the whales pass by. Great location for being close to downtown Kona but not in the thick of the noise, and central to all other parts of the island that you would want to venture too. 15m from airport and an easy drive to shops, grocery and Costco!! Property managers were so very helpful and responsive when we were checking in and thankfully had no problems that needed their attention! If you can book this place, do it quick and without hesitation, as a local at another inn told me they are hard to get because of their size and location! Just perfection! We can’t wait to return!

Awesome Ocean View!!

This is one of the nicest VRBO‘s we’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful ocean view, great to hear the sound of the ocean at night and everything you might need in an accommodation. The complex is pleasingly planned, and each unit is an individual townhouse. The furnishings are well thought out and elegant. The maintenance staff was courteous and on top of things as a dishwasher went out and they were quick to replace it without a fuss. The only down side- our two weeks only seemed like one - it was hard to leave!! Mahalo Richard
