It worked out very well for us! A kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms on each floor plus boogie boards and water shoes to share. There are several homes along the driveway, ruins of an old heiau on Ali'i, and snorkeling at the beach. A relaxed place to spend a week! ##### Sam S.

We were able to snorkel and rent surfboards right across the street! It was perfect. There is a grocery store within 5 minutes and you are able to cook in if you want. At first we were nervous about no air co di Orion if but don’t let that scare you off! once you open the windows and turn the fans on it is perfect! The outside porches are also the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set! ##### Erica C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Natalie G. Sep 27, 2023 Liked: Communication, location #### Great view & location, but a few cons I wish I knew before booking: This house has an incredible view and location. It’s so great to be able to walk down the driveway and be at an incredible snorkeling beach. It is also a good size and layout for multi-generational families traveling together. There are a few cons I would have liked to have known prior to booking. The house is worn out, some of the furniture is broken and sinking (the owner notified me 2 days after checking in that the futon was broken and not to use it), the dishes are chipped, and the landing to the front door is a serious liability that is about to fall through. Secondly, the owner watches you on their outdoor camera in the yard. I was contacted on day 2 of my 7 day stay and asked to not sit on the outdoor patio set at the bottom of the stairs, this set is right in the middle of the space we are “allowed” to use. There is no sign or note in the thorough house rules book that states this. Lastly, you pay a cleaning fee but are still expected to do your dishes, take out the trash and put the dirty laundry in the laundry baskets. On top of that, we had to wash all the dishes prior to using because they were put away in the cupboards dirty! ##### Natalie G. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H.

It is clean, private and has all the necessary items you need for cooking meals and enjoying your time on Hawaii. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cherry on top is Kahalu’u beach which is directly in front of the house. Morning snorkeling was the best! We will definitely return! ##### Joy B.

It was roomy enough to fit our group of 9 and not feel cramped at all. Very well appointed as we prepared most of our meals at the house. The views from the lanai's are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The snorkeling across the street at Kahalu'u Beach Park was the best of all the places we swam. The house is conveniently located with easy access to several markets and grocery stores.The owners were wonderful to work with. We had a Tsunami warning while there and Cheryl was on top of it. She helped us with where to go and what to do and how to be safe when it hit. Very Very grateful for the communications during the crisis and for the whole stay in general.We had a wonderful trip, would rent this unit again and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. This experience is the epitome of what a VRBO rental should be.

May 10, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, dated accommodation. You stay here because of the location. Being a short walk away from some excellent snorkeling and beautiful views are the standouts of this Vrbo. It is also a short drive to downtown Kona and to a nearby shopping area with a grocery store. The accommodation itself is dated and would be surprised if it was ever updated and there are aspects of the house the need a refresh especially considering the price point of the home. Furthermore given the 400 cleaning fee I would expect the home to be spotless upon arrival but it was not. If you are looking for a pleasant and simple place near a prime snorkeling spot this is your place. But its cost point and lackluster accommodation quality would have me looking at other options in the future. ##### Drake M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca R.

The house and the amenities were very comfortable and convenient for the size of our family and we loved the location. The manager was very friendly and helpful. One of the best part was the views from our balcony...we enjoyed the sunset over the ocean every ##### Allenoush B. Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucian C., Waco, USA Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The house was great as well as the big island. We really enjoyed our trip. Property manager was fantastic and very accommodating. Couldn’t have been more pleased. Thanks again for working with us after a miserable flight that had us show up a day and a half later than planned. ##### Lucian C. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark W. Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect This was just perfect for us. Kids stayed on 1 level and adults on the other. Location was far enough from the hustle and bustle of Kona but close enough when you want to go into town. Sound of ocean drowned out the road noise from Ali'i Dr. Snorkeling was AMAZING. ##### Mark W. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary D. Mar 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location My wife and I have been to Kona a few times and knew that Kahaluu Bay would be an excellent location for the grandkids. The trolley was just a few steps further from the beach-just remember the trolley runs on “island time”! Great views from the 2 lanais-we even spotted a few whales. Rainbows and gorgeous sunsets were a nice bonus. We would definitely stay again. The grandkids named the neighborhood alarm clocks (2 roosters) Jimmy and Fred! Good times for all ##### Gary D.
