About this property

Located on a quiet oceanfront property just south of commercial Kona, this two-bedroom two-bath vintage cottage boasts a large covered lanai, classic Hawaiiana furnishings and a grassy yard with parking. With one queen bed and three twins, it’s ideal for a small to medium family or a couple wanting some well earned space. The kitchen, which offers both a bar and a dining table for four, has ocean views to the north and south, where whales splashing about offshore can be seen regularly from November-March. Two surf spots are located just out front to either side — one for all levels and one for experts only — guests can check out Pacific Vibrations Surf shop in downtown Kona for all your surfboard rentals. Having been owned by the same family for three generations, this charming cottage has the upside of mixing time with labor of love.

*NOTE: This home is located on the marathon route for the Ironman World Championship that occurs in Kona every October, and will be affected by road closures related to the race.

Very nice spot for a family of 4

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week; the house was just our speed -- not too fancy, but comfortable and easy. The porch/lanai is beautiful! Our only complaint is that the mattresses on the bunk bed aren't too comfy; the other single bed is fine.

Amazing home and location!

This home is a Hawaiian dream. It was spotless and lovingly maintained... incredibly well stocked with everything you could want. The lanai is where we lived...day and night...it doesnt get better than this. Surfing to the left and to the right!!

Perfect stay in Kona!

We loved our week spent in Kona. This vintage cottage was perfect for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers). The lanai and private bay were so peaceful and relaxing we spent all of our time here when not scuba diving or mountain biking. Heidi was the best host and was very quick to provide recommendations and answer questions. We really hope to return to this amazing property!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been fortunate enough to stay at several amazing properties in Kona throughout the years. However, none of them can compare to this property. The Kona Sunshine property is truly special. And, I cannot say enough about Heidi, as she was a great host throughout our stay.

Right on the Coast

The location was amazing. We would listen to the waves crashing at night and see the surfers in the morning. It was an easy jog into Kona for food and fun. Snorkeling in the area was great. We visited over Christmas and, overall, we had a fantastic time in Kona!

Location, location, location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once we got inside and opened the house up we made ourselves at home for a week and it was great. Nice and cozy home with a central location between shopping, restaurants, and beaches. The cons seem like nitpicking but you should be aware of them. Traffic on Ali’i can be distracting if you wake easily, and since the neighbor seems to have a used car lot at his house getting out of the property can be difficult and could really be helped with some mirrors. The management company says they have a concierge but we never got a response with three attempts after the initial contact. Wth all that being said, I would definitely stay at this house again.

Beautiful traditional Hawaiian beach house with a few rough edges

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful and modestly sized house right on the water. Not sandy beach babe t we were not looking for beachfront. Relaxing lanai and terrific location for watching surfers and sunsets. Overall, comfortable but pricey. For the cost, the beds are rock hard and can leave one stiff. Driveway needs mirrors in order to safely pull out onto road. Neighbors park vehicles on shoulder eliminating view to oncoming traffic. Great place for an unplugged stay that does not suffocate as resorts can do. I would recommend with eyes wide open on bed comfort.

Kona Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived on Christmas Day, Monday Dec. 25 and left on Monday, Jan. 1,New Years Day. The only problem with arriving on a Monday that is a Holiday, no trash pick up. So the entire time we were there we had no trash service. I tried texting the number I was given if there was a problem and the reply from the text was, I had the wrong number. Mind you it was the number listed at the rental on the information page for tenants. If it wasn't for the trash issue I would give all 5 stars for the rental. The location is perfect, saw sea turtles everyday right down in from of the house on the water, Sunsets beautiful. I feel it's best for a family or couple. It would have been difficult if it was 2 couples, one bedroom had 3 twin beds the other a queen. There are 2 full bathrooms and the kitchen sink overlooks the ocean which made doing dishes wonderful. I would recommend this property. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, bogey boarding, hiking you name it it's all there. We had a wonderful time.

A great spot in Kona

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A private house right on the water with space and fabulous waterfront views and access. This is an authentic older house with great summer cabin feel- open shutters and doors for breezes and ocean sound. We loved our spot for enjoying full day access and viewing of the ocean and lava rocks (with turtles) right out front. The generous linai, the well stocked kitchen, the comfy living room were all as pictured and wonderful. Easy access to town and anything Kona right off Alii Dr. The one slight issue was noise in in the bedrooms from Alii, but the road calms down a lot at night and doesn't impact the living spaces at all. If you are looking for an authentic cabin on the water from which to explore both the water and Kona- this place can't be beat!

turtle-watching from the lanai!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. Located a little too far to walk to downtown Kona, but very convenient on Alii Dr. We enjoyed snorkeling off the rocks behind the house and sleeping on the Lanai at night. Saw dolphins jumping in the wake of a boat off the lanai as well. Pretty ideal spot for a typical Hawaii vacation!
