Outside area is the star of this property

Pros:-Outside area. Large and plenty of room. We were a group of 6 and congregated in the evening outside-Can walk to Kona in about 15-20 minutes. Street is busy but a dedicated lane for walking/running/biking-Very large rooms-Washer/dryer-Stocked with shampoo/conditioner/soap/TP/kleenex. -Library with books/air printer was handy as we had a couple pages we needed to printCons:-A bit lacking on plastic bags/napkins for kitchen-Only 1 small TV if you actually want to watch tv. We did not utilize it-Kitchen is tired and in need of an upgrade.

Magical Stay

Hawaii is a magical place and the favorite place for my family and I to visit. Being next to the water for sunsets and sunrises, took our experience to a new level. Recommend this place for a magical time.

Absolutely Wonderful Highly recommend it for large families. Plenty of room for privacy and family.

Planning another trip hopefully next year. One little thing, the path into the house is so dark; and as a handicapped person it was very intense to keep my footing. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable Ocean Views!! Adjacent Tidal Pool and Phenomenal Sunsets...

Our family of 7 had the most wonderful stay at this vintage home. The lanai was our "hanging out" location for most of our Thanksgiving stay. The four bedrooms were large enough to accommodate all us comfortably, but the real beauty was the direct ocean view with the adjacent tidal pool. The spectacular sunsets and hearing the crashing waves at night were wonderful!

Perfect Location close to Downtown Kona, and the VIEWS!!

We recently stayed here (Sept. 4th - 18th). We really enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Kona. My husband and I took frequent morning walks to downtown for coffee/tea. The views from this house are amazing and can not be beat and we enjoyed watching the sunset from the lanai every evening. The tidal pool was a favorite feature; we enjoyed watching the little fish and crabs. Be careful if you go into it as there are sea urchins in the tidal pool, and they are not pleasant if you step on them. Overall, the house is well-equipped in the kitchen, but some of the items could use an update. Having the grill was nice since we tend to grill a lot, but the grill could use an update as well. Having the AC in the bedrooms and main living area was a nice feature, as it was a little warmer than normal during our stay. Everyone said their beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were all nice. The view from the Master shower is really nice if you open both doors. Parking in the driveway can be a little tricky due to the location on Ali'i Drive, but we managed by always back in (we would pull into the parking area across the street and then back straight into the driveway when we had a clearing in traffic.) Overall, the house worked perfectly for us and we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely views, lots to see, needs attention in the kitchen

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and A/C, yippee! On the water, spinner dolphins, manta rays, cooling off in the tide pool, Queen Lilli'uokalani canoe races. Didn't like being on the busy street with LOUD motorcycles at all hours. Dirty utensils in the kitchen and cabinets falling apart.

Perfection!

We stayed at this gorgeous Kona property for 10 days in July and simply can't say enough about how wonderful it was. Truly, the house is the perfect example of a Hawaii home, quaint and gorgeous all wrapped up together. It has an amazing glass-wall living room fronting to the most stunning waterfront view, two large master suites with bathrooms, another comfortable water-view room, and a darling 4th room with twin beds that can be pushed together if needed. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, including many spices, so all you need to do is buy the food you want for your stay. The lanai is the place you will hang out, with a large table for everyone to eat, play games, and just the sunset every night. There are couches, lounges, and lots more across the whole lanai space as well. The yard is darling with green lawns, palm trees, and shrubs that all say Hawaii. And it has its own tide pool too! The house's location just outside of Historic Kailua Village is perfect. Although it sits very close to a busy road (Ali'i Dr.) making parking in the relatively small parking space a bit tough, the traffic is NOT an issue once inside the house - you just don't hear it over the sound of the ocean waves. Some of the furnishings and fixtures might be a bit on the older side, but that is really what makes this a truly Hawaii-feel house. We were so, so happy, and can't recommend this beautiful property enough!

Excellent property for our large party.

This property was perfect for our needs. We were in Hawaii for 8 days for my daughter's beach wedding. We had 3 couples and two small children. The property provided plenty of room for privacy for the adults in our separate bedrooms. The outdoor space was exceptional. This is where we spent most of our time when we weren't out exploring. Two nights, we had other friends and family over for dinner; there was plenty of room for everyone, still without feeling crowded. The tidepool was beyond fabulous, although it's not something someone could swim in. It was so fun to explore the creatures in and around it. Just a note so people are prepared: the property is located on a very busy street (although you can't tell once you are inside). I'm noting this because backing out of the parking spaces onto the street was a little nerve-wracking. There is a small public parking area directly across the street that can be used during the day, but not overnight. There was a pack & play for babies in the closet and lots of beach gear. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and some spices. Check-in and check-out were both seamless. The property is a little dated but very well maintained. The overall feel of the place was worth every penny we paid. I highly recommend it for a large family or for friends who want to vacation together and share the cost but also have their own space. Loved it and would 100% rent again if we needed a place that large.

Wonderful holiday stay

We had the most lovely stay! The outdoor lanai was phenomenal- we ate every meal there and saw dolphins and whales while sitting there. Our daughters loved the tide pool. House had beach toys our kids enjoyed. The property manager immediately responded to a question we had, and was extremely helpful- truly the best manager we’ve ever worked with. The house is spacious. Took us a minute to realize where the third master was, there’s so much room. Cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the backyard and lanai are.

Extraordinary Home By the Ocean

My family was so thrilled with their stay at this wonderful place that they were looking up availability for next year online as our time there ended. Everything was pretty much perfect. The huge lanai was spacious enough for each person to find their nook for ocean watching and for our family meals. The kitchen was well-equipped. Watching the spectacular sunsets over the ocean from the lanai each evening was a highlight for us. A short path led down to a tidal pool where we saw fish, hermit crabs and a sea slug. Bird were abundant including the Hawaiian Redhead and the Java Sparrow, new ones for me. Their singing made me feel like I was sleeping in a tropical paradise. The three king-sized beds were extremely comfortable and the three bedrooms we used were all on the ocean side so we could hear the surf as we fell asleep each night. High ceilings gave a feeling of spaciousness and ceiling fans in each room kept the house cool; we never turned on the air conditioning. The place is near all the action in Kona-Kailua but far enough away that it was peaceful. Kerrie quickly responded when we had questions and was an excellent hostess. Highly recommended!

Incredible sunsets and ocean views

Overall, we had a lovely stay here. The views, along with the grounds out back, are absolutely breathtaking. We witnessed some of the most incredible sunsets sitting right on the lanai. We even enjoyed snorkeling right out back. There was plenty of space for our family of 7 (3 adults and 4 teens/young adults). A lovely welcome basket greeted us when we arrived. Kerrie was helpful, friendly and responsive to our needs. We had a few minor hiccups that she tended to immediately. As listed, the house was built in the 1950s. While this brings with it a lot of charm, it also could benefit from some upgrades, particularly the sliding doors and in the kitchen. The garbage disposal easily clogs (without food particles). The couches in the living room are very worn. Having an option for dining inside would be helpful and/or the addition of a ceiling fan above the table on the lanai. These inconveniences were overlooked when it came to the central location, breaktaking views, and kind and responsive property manager. Mahalo Kerrie! We're already missing those sunsets!!

Amazing vacation, great location

This was the perfect house for our vacation with extended family. The setup gave everyone their own space and plenty of area to gather as family. The view is amazing and we all loved our time spent outside on the lanai. The tidepool was an added bonus to go explore. The house was well stocked with all of the amenities we needed and even had all of the things we needed for a day at the beach. It felt like home! Kerrie was a great host and communication was never an issue. We didn't want to leave and would definitely stay there again!

Amazing family retreat

The property was perfect for our family visiting from the mainland and for my dad’s 80th birthday party. We were able to have a nice quiet, personal event with a caterer, musician, and entertainer for 17 people. There was more than enough space for everyone in the home at the same time. Kerrie made the experience extra special with the welcome basket filled with local fruits, allowing us to check in early and check out late with ease. Our visitors from the mainland were in awe at how beautiful the grounds were, and the tide pool. Even being on Ali’i Drive it was so quaint and so quiet. We look forward to renting it in the future for more family visits. Mahalo nui

Expansive Lanai and Sunsets Galore

Really enjoyed our stay here. Highlight was the expansive lanai with the best sunsets anywhere. Great launch pad to all the activities the Big Island has to offer. It is on Ali'i so it is noisy. It is also in the process of needed updates. But all in all a nice place we would love to return to.

Host profile image
I have been a Property Manager with Lava Rock Realty since 2015. Prior to obtaining my real estate license, I worked as a Controller and provided accounting services for a couple of local property management companies. After 25 years behind a desk, it was time to get out and enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer. My husband and I moved to Hawaii from Alaska in 2007 once our son enlisted in the United States Navy. We decided it was time for a warmer adventure! During my time in Alaska, while earning my BA in Accounting from the University of Alaska Anchorage, I worked in all aspects of accounting for a world class ski resort. After receiving my degree, I was promoted as a Controller for a 5-star hotel in Anchorage. Being in the hospitality industry for the past 28 years, I have learned how to provide all my guests with excellent service. I enjoy welcoming back all my returning guests and meeting all the new guests that will be staying with me. I look forward to greeting you soon!
