Quality of the home and the view.

This beautiful home was better than described. The view was spectacular, everything was well-appointed, and the pool was a perfect place for watching the gorgeous sunsets. The house was very roomy for eight adults, and the exercise room/office was a plus. The hosts were super responsive and a pleasure to work with. Such a special place in beautiful Kona!

Great retreat!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2023
We spent a week here in August 2023 with a group of eight. The house is exactly as depicted in the photos. It is beautiful, well appointed and included all necessities from kitchen to bath to beach. The layout worked well with each bedroom having its own private bath & shower. All bedrooms included king size bed for two, no sleeping on foldouts or futons here. There are two primary structures; the main house and a breezeway attached two-story building that included one of the four bedrooms up top, with its own balcony, and a first floor workout/bonus space. There is a third structure on the property a separate cottage also available for rent. The cottage was empty during our stay but I would imagine voices from the back deck would be noticeable. While the home is beautifully constructed and furnished we spent almost all of our time on the back deck and pool area. The view and space are stunning. This house is located about 30 minutes south of the KOA airport in a well established up-hill neighborhood. This is not a walkable neighborhood nor is there anything nearby you would want to walk to. That said, this house and grounds are the attraction. Note Google Maps will point you to the neighbor's house just to the south. The Aolani House entrance is two driveways north and covered by tree foliage in satellite images. Directions provided by property manager were spot-on.
