My family and I stayed for a week at spring break and enjoyed our stay. This stay is the bottom floor of a large house and a giant back yard full of fruit trees. We enjoyed spending time outdoors, the ocean view and especially the fresh fruit and avocados. The hot tub was also very nice and we made use of the badmitton set and basketball hoop. Unfortunately the pool was broken during our stay, but we were given a partial refund for this and I'm sure it's fixed by now. After the crowded beaches, it was always nice to come back to this peaceful oasis. It felt very private even being in a neighborhood. ##### Matt F. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim N., Napa, CA Nov 17, 2018 #### Second time here was as good as the first We stayed here for the first time in April 2018 and loved it so when we planned a somewhat spontaneous trip back to Kona in November this was an easy choice. There are many good vacation rentals in Kona and we typically like to move around to have differing experiences each time. So it's a tribute to the appeal of this place that we came here again. Sandra and Ken are very gracious and informative hosts, and we've learned a lot about good snorkeling sites and places to eat out that we might never have thought of. ##### Jim N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve T., Colorado Springs, CO, USA Mar 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful property with a great location Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay here. The property is spectacular and very private yet just a few minutes from the coast. Sandra made us feel very welcome and was very responsive to any questions. She had great suggestions for locations to visit! Everything about the property was great: the orchard (with massive avocados), the well-stocked kitchen, the pool & hot tub... I could go on and on. SO happy we chose this home over a resort property. ##### Steve T.

We wanted a mix of relaxation and exploration, and Sandra's property made both of those fantastically easy. Our whole family enjoyed downtime in the pool, hot tub, and yard playing badminton while the location made it a good jump off point for trips north or south along the coast or to head towards Hilo. Also convenient for airport, groceries, and restaurants. The house was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, & the beach toys, chairs, and towels were much appreciated. The memories of the lovely ocean view looking over the gorgeous yard's diverse and beautiful foliage mixed with the bird sounds will always linger when thinking of our time there!! ##### Kerry R.

It’s Hawaii! Delightful property, owner is very friendly and helpful. She was always prompt when answering any questions we had. Free tropical fruit and eggs. Pool is deep enough to practice your snorkeling or free diving techniques. Lovely neighborhood. Loved staying in the hills above Kona, it was always a little cooler up there. The standard by which we will judge all future VRBOs. ##### Jennifer G. Stayed 10 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anita W. Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptional property and location The pictures do not do the property justice. The yard is a Hawaii botanical garden. There’s fresh fruit (that you get to enjoy!) and flowers of every kind. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to town, restaurants and airport. The sunset views are so stunning, we made a point to try and be back on most nights for that. Further, the house was spotlessly clean and very well stocked in the kitchen, with towels and beach equipment. We were 2 couples concerned with privacy for each. However, we found that the house worked very well. Sandra and Ken were responsive and generous hosts. This is a place we want to go back to again. ##### Anita W.

Sep 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Like our own botanical gardens We just loved, loved, loved our stay here. Such a beautiful spot with the view of the ocean and wonderfully landscaped yards. I enjoyed waking up early with my six year old and exploring the property for wildlife - birds, geckos, visiting wild chickens - and enjoying all the many fruit trees. My husband was in love with the outdoor kitchen. Our son thoroughly enjoyed all the legos and toys - when not in the pool which is where we spent most of our time. The unit had everything we needed, minus washer/dryer (unless we were absolutely blind), but as it was a shorter stay we managed without. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and hope that that day will come again soon! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. ##### Lori H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim N., Napa, CA May 4, 2018 #### Well appointed accommodations and supportive hosts We've stayed in numerous VRBO properties on Kona and this ranks as one of the best as far as how the the accommodations are set up. The kitchen is well stocked with necessary cookware, serving wear, and appliances, which is not always the case. We've experienced other places where such things are a haphazard collection of dated items and poorly organized. Also the pool equipment and patio furniture were in great shape. The large combined bedroom and sitting area is spacious and comfortably decorated and has a view looking towards the coast. Our hosts Sandra and Ken live on the property and were always available to answer questions, and gave us many excellent recommendations from where to snorkel to places to eat. We also found the property location near the intersection of Hina Lani and Hwy 190 gave us more options for traveling both north and south than some of the other places we'd stayed, so it's convenience to facilitating us getting to place more quickly is a plus. ##### Jim N.

This is not really a rental house - you are renting 2 rooms and a great pool/hot tub. One "bedroom" is actually a living room, other bedroom is very small with 2 twin beds. Extra aero beds are meant to be set up in living/"bed" room. Ok for families with small kids, but 5-8 adults? Not so much, if you want privacy. Outdoor kitchen is better in theory - in reality there are mice and cockroaches to contend with. The dishes should have been professionally cleaned after previous occupants left (many were sticky/dirty). For kids = FUN. Owner is very nice/helpful, but for most people, there are better deals to be had elsewhere. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Resort Hualalai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Hualalai.h42054.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney Aulani One Bedroom Poolside Villa!](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Disney-Aulani-One-Bedroom-Poolside-Villa.h63165700.Hotel-Information) > > [Lae Nani Kauai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Lae-Nani-Resort-Kauai-By-Outrigger.h40406.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Ko'Olina Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Marriotts-KoOlina-Beach-Club.h910988.Hotel-Information) > > [Plantation Hale Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Plantation-Hale-Suites.h6655.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Ko'Olina Coconut Plantation Oahu, 2-Story, 5 min to beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Luxury-Koolina-Coconut-Plantation-Oahu.h22395259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanalei Colony Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hanalei-Hotels-Hanalei-Colony-Resort.h889785.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beach Villas at Ko Olina by Real Select Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-The-Beach-Villas-At-Ko-Olina-By-Real-Select-Vacations.h27094352.Hotel-Information) > > [Kauai Coast at the Beachboy](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Kauai-Coast-At-The-Beachboy.h19414.Hotel-Information) > > [Kauai Shores Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Kauai-Shores-Hotel.h9733.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Ritz-Carlton O‘ahu, Turtle Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Kahuku-Hotels-Turtle-Bay-Resort.h470837.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Oahu-At-Ko-Olina.h6910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in The Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Blue-Mountains-Hotels.d6129678.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Sheraton-Kauai-Coconut-Beach-Resort.h25681.Hotel-Information) > > [Waipouli Beach Resorts & Spa Kauai by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Waipouli-Beach-Resorts-Spa-Kauai-By-Outrigger.h1541115.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yeg/vancouver-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yow/edmonton-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lga/edmonton-to-new-york) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Lisbon-District.d178278.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Winnipeg.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Seattle.d178307.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/147/Portugal) ### General > [Visit London](https://www.expedia.ca/London.dx178279)
