We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute!!
We were a party of & extended family members and stayed for 3 nights. The home was amazing! It was as advertised and well equipped with towels and kitchen items. Going to bed and waking up early to the sound of the waves was lovely. The best snorkeling is a short walk down the road and it is a quick drive into town.
Beautiful location. We spent almost 100% of house time on the lanai, beautiful sunsets every night and the hot tub was perfect. Saw turtles dolphins and sharks! Snorkeling was convenient right off the lava in the backyard of the house. Totally recommend if you are experienced swimmers, rocks and current can be a challenge.
There was a problem with the dishwasher and the repair was made within hours of our request. Very friendly professional management team. We were met at the house upon arrival which was helpful for general questions - Will definitely return!

This is great house to rent for your trip. The views from the porch are breathtaking. We saw dolphins and multiple fish. The house is in a great location. Loved that there was a grocery store right up the road. There is a harbor 5minutes away to go see the manta rays at night and snorkeling tours. Downtown Kona is 15min away. The house has beach towels, ice chest, beach chairs, snorkeling mask and boards. No need to rent any beach materials. Kitchen has all the dishes you need and cooking supplies. Bbq works great also. You can’t beat the view eating outside at the table.

Just stayed in this beautiful home for 3 weeks with my family. We spend a lot of time in Hawaii on different islands, usually for extended stays of 3-4 weeks....this was the best house for sunsets we have ever had and the location directly on the ocean allowed us to listen to the water crashing all night on the lava rock. We had dinner every night on the lanai and watched the sunsets. Hot tub was a big plus.The house is in a perfect location...there are a couple of nice beaches very close with surfing available, downtown is a 5 minute drive, golf course is within a couple of miles. There is a large supermarket within a mile. Easy access to other beaches if you want to explore by car. You can snorkel right out back of the house if you feel comfortable getting in the water off the lava rock. My son did some spear fishing out there as well.House was clean, well-kept. There is no AC (other than a single unit in main living area which we rarely turned on), but most nights were very tolerable with windows open and fans on. Nice breezes off the water.Property management company was very responsive with periodic texting to check in and reminders to take out the trash. The only maintenance issue we had was the outdoor grill not working, but they replaced it the next day. My only complaint was that there was only a single beach chair available.We’d definitely recommend this house.
