Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful We had a lovely 8-day stay and the ocean views from the house are spectacular. We particularly enjoyed the home’s big and screened lanai. The Kona Paradise community is a very relaxed place and the nearby Pebble Beach is a fantastic spot for playing in the water and watching the sun set. The short but steep walk to the beach is worth it - and there are several parking spots for those who need to drive. There are good, casual food options nearby within 10-15 miles. We would stay here again! ##### Mary P.

We so enjoyed our stay at this home in Kona! Great location for us as we don’t love being in crowded areas/beaches, epic snorkeling at the various beaches near the house, all amenities were present, fantastic view, and a lovely home. We were stoked to be here and soak up with island vines and stunning ocean views. ##### Erin & Gareth C. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Les H.

For two incredible weeks, this home was our personal slice of paradise. We lived with the windows and doors open nearly all the time, letting in the breeze, the birdsong, and the peaceful rhythm of the island. Our daughter loved sleeping on the futon on the lanai most nights, falling asleep under the stars and waking up to the sounds of nature.The house was peaceful, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable, restorative stay. We picked fresh mangoes from the front yard, made fruit salad with local pineapple, and enjoyed sunsets every evening from the lanai.We snorkeled at several beaches around the island and especially appreciated the convenience of Pebbles Beach right at the bottom of the hill—perfect for a quick swim or quiet sunset stop.The location was perfect—quiet and tucked away, yet close enough to beaches, coffee farms, and island adventures. Everything was clean and well-stocked, from the kitchen to the beach gear. It felt less like a rental and more like home.Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. We’re already looking forward to coming back! ##### Les H.

The laundry room has everything you need to wash clothes. You might need breakfast things for the first morning but, check around first before you get groceries. It is hot in afternoon but, they have fans. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. It’s an awesome house. The birds kept us entertain. We are glad we stayed there. ##### Sherree M.

Black Pebble Beach was just down the road to enjoy the sunsets and the sound of the ocean. It was about 45 minutes from Kailua Kona. The drive didn’t bother us as we drove all over the Island anyway. It was nice to go back to a peaceful community after a long day. Kitchen was fully stocked, beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards. The house did get hot with no air conditioning but we did open windows and doors after coming back and it seemed to help.

He was quite accommodating in our departure based on a late flight. The house is in dire need of cleaning. It is also in need of new window coverings and some basic TLC. While we definitely enjoyed our stay there are other options in the same sub-division that we have used previously that are maintained better. The cleaning fee was steep for the amount of cleaning we did when we arrived and the house was dirty and needed a deep cleaning. ##### David H.

Mar 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heaven on a hill We love the house- hate the humidity. Of course, that is common to the whole island,,,,We had daily visits from a gecko we named Gary. At least we think it was the same little fellow; we only saw two geckos simultaneously once Plus, there's a cute little baby gecko in the bedroom who is shy and climbs around at night. The neighborhood and the driveway are all steep like San Francisco hills. There are a few spices in the kitchen and a good selection of cooking/baking equipment. At night the coqui frogs talk a lot - and in the morning, the birds do. We found both very pleasant. Lots of plumeria and a smattering of other flowers, Very peaceful place. it's a bit of a bummer to have to transport garbage to the transfer station - I don't think that was in the listing Since we have to get water for drinking/cooking from a "nearby" spigot, I would suggest including a photo of what it looks like and a better idea of the location in the welcome binder . We drove by it 4 days before we found it. It's not too far north of the transfer station in a turn out mauka side, directly behind a short directional sign ##### Sandy O. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet S. Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It's a tropical treehouse! The house is very clean and well set up with a view of the ocean and very little view of the surrounding houses due to the tree canopy. The lanai is very comfortable and I could pretend to be outside even when I was feeling too lazy to actually go out. We were close enough to the ocean to hear it, which was lovely, and there are doves and cardinals in the trees, calling to each other all day. It was quite charming. I even enjoyed the coqui frogs at night, to my surprise. (Coquis have a bad reputation on the Big Island but I found out that I actually like their chirping. They sound like crickets.) The downside for me is the low elevation: my ears are very sensitive to a change in air pressure and when we went up and down the (very steep) road every day I felt like I was always landing a plane although it didn't bother my husband at all. But like I said, I'm quite sensitive. I would have appreciated motion sensor lights on the porch because there were no lights on when we arrived at almost 10 pm and it's pitch dark at night on BI because of the telescope. Overall, it's a very comfortable property and we have already booked our vacation there for next February. Aloha nut loa ##### Janet S. Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John W.
