About this property

Centrally Located Downtown Gem

EVERYTHING IN TOWN AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!
5 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 1 full kitchen, 1 kitchenette with bar sink, 1 office/storage room house just minutes walking distance to all restaurants, sports bars, shops and beautiful beaches in the heart of kona! Just up a hill in a quiet neighborhood with no traffic noise in a very peaceful area yet close to town! A perfect spot!
A spacious 2500 sq. ft. two story house. On top, a lookout patio with stairway and downstairs a covered patio with bbq.
Access to a separate laundry room with washer and dryer. Private parking on premises. A four burner webber barbecue. Trash and recycle area.
We check our guests in personally with our manager. If there is anything that our guests need, if there are any problems or malfunctions, he is just a phone call away to resolve the problem.
Our neighborhood is away from the main highway, up a little hill in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. All the neighbors are very quiet and respectful to everyone. Tall banyan and ficus trees give a private feeling.
Public transportation is offered just down the street at the local bus stop about 5 minutes walking distance. Rental vehicles available for rent at the Kona airport by reservation. Rentals also available for Keiki (baby/infint/child) i.e. strollers, pack n play, cribs, car seats etc.
Please let us know if you are planning adventures or events and we can better help you to organize for that. Thank you and Aloha!

Friends' vacation
We had plenty of private and communal space to rest and hang out with each other. We like being so close to town, so we don't always have to drive each time we went out.

Kona Getaway
We had a great time at the Downtown Gem. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and main street in Kona. The area around the unit is a little run down but the house itself is great. Perfect for a large group.

Perfect for the whole family
Huge house with room enough for our entire extended family (7 adults and 3 kids). The upstairs living room was very airy and comfortable. Lots of room for people to spread out and not be on top of each other in between excursions. Very close to downtown.

Hillside home
This property was perfect for us, our adult children & our grandchildren. We walked down to the pier each of the evenings that we were in Kona to view the beautiful sunsets. There was a grocery store just a few blocks away & restaurants downtown.

Great for families and larger parties!
I was pleasantly surprised that the house was even better than the pictures online. There was so much room and having two kitchens made it easier for families. Anyone looking for a clean spacious house for your family to stay this is the perfect place. We would definitely use this rental again. Management and the owners we're Beyond gracious and so helpful.

Great house, convenient location
We love the house and its kitchens and bbq facilities for our group meals. Fans keep the house cool. Location is great, within walking distance to downtown Kona, close to shopping for supplies. Correction needs to be made to reflect no single beds, only queen beds.

Awesome stay
Property was listed as a 5 bedroom with only 4 pictures of the bedrooms which worried me at first as we had 6 individual parties. But to my relief and surprise the unit had 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. Everything is located nearby. I would stay again if i plan another golf trip to kona.

Spacious coastal retreat
This property truly lived up to it's description, more than enough room for a party of eight. This very spacious and comfortable townhouse offered our family of eight adults a space to be together and enough space for personal down time. The extras like the snorkelling gear allowed us to enjoy the many great spors near Kona to enjoy the under water life and turtles. Put simply this home has everything and you instantly feel at home.

Perfect Hawaiian Family Vacation
Everything about this property is fantastic. The location is perfect - easy to walk to town and get to just about anywhere. The house is very clean, has a great layout and just about everything you will need - including some beach stuff. The house provided plenty of room for everyone in our family (6 adult and two kids) - space to spend as a family and privacy when needed. The owners are great - highly responsive and so very nice :). I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. I know we will in future visits to Kona.

About the host

Hosted by Jeri Macres

Host profile image
Originally from Southern California, both Jeri and Steve met here on the Big Island in the early seventies. Married since 1979, and have a son named Chris. Our love for the ocean and island life has kept us here ever since. Come and enjoy a relaxing getaway.

Why they chose this property

We love the location close to town, where the beach is just a few minutes walking distance. Shops and restaurants are endless fun, and the Farmer's Market provides local fruits and vegetables, flowers, and local gift shopping.

What makes this property unique

The view from the upper floor is beautiful, with the blue water sunsets, and with a classic view of the mountainside as well. The covered downstairs patio is a place to be outside with privacy. It is a nice cool, quiet, hilltop compound, where you can relax. The driveway is lined with banana trees fresh to pick from. The neighborhood is very quiet with lots of shade. It is a very unique place, which made us fall in love with it!!
