Nov 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rare Opportunity at a Beautiful Property This house, perched on Kealakekua Bay in the protected Marine Preserve and State Historic Park, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay on the Bay, where you can slip into the bay out of your back door to go snorkeling, or rent a nearby certified bay kayak, with an amazing array of reef fish, rays, turtles, eel, and even dolphins and whales. It is an older property that has been recently refurbished with new appliances, cabinets, countertops, floors and furniture, and is an amazing place to stay and appreciate the rare private access to Kealakekua Bay. It is in a relatively remote location about 20 minutes south of Kailua-Kona via the Mamalahoa bypass road. Stay here before a billionaire buys it up and makes it a private compound! ##### Paul G.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindie P. Jul 4, 2023 #### Stunning view, steps away from snorkeling This clean, spacious home was the perfect base for our family of four, with two bedrooms on the ground level so that each of our children could have private space while we explored the Kona side of the Big Island. A well-stocked kitchen allowed us to cook our own meals and store leftovers. Best of all: The home sits on the shore of Kealakekua Bay (a marine life conservation district), boasting breathtaking views, ocean wave serenades, and immediate access to swimming and snorkeling (a 1-minute walk from the house). It's about a 30-minute drive to Kailua-Kona, but we enjoyed being away from the crowds. Would 100% return and recommend to others. ##### Mindie P.

Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great location, deceptive photos Lovely location, really couldn’t be better. While the photos do give an accurate picture of the dated decor, what they don’t show is that it has not been kept up in the interior. The cabinets are falling apart in places, doors delaminating, and tongue and groove boards have stains. The downstairs bedrooms are accessed via walking through the garage. King bed is downstairs, and you must reach it by walking through the jack and Jill bathroom. We saw kitchen cabinets waiting in the garage, so I hope a rehab is planned for the near future. The cleaning could be better. Again the location and view are amazing, so I hope good things are in store for this property. ##### Bruce B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### susan a. Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### July 2024 The location is amazing!! We spent a lot of time during our stay on the porch and in the tide pools directly in front of the property. We loved listening to the waves during the night and feeling the sea breeze. Manini beach is a beautiful public beach about a 2 minute walk away. The property is a traditional older Hawaiian house that we found charming and well kept. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the gift package of local treats awaiting our arrival. The cons for the property were for us the heat, as the sun baked the house in the evenings after 6 pm in July, shining directly through the windows. The living room and kitchen don’t have any type of blinds or curtains sadly. There are plenty of fans however that were helpful in cooling things down later in the evening. Of note we booked the property through VRBO but the property is managed through Vacasa. We didn’t get critical checking information and had to go through the Vacasa automated phone tree to get the information. This was inconvenient as we had traveled for 15 hours and arrived in the dark. The living room furniture is a little worn and dated but the kitchen and bathroom are updated nicely. ##### susan a. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lynn M. Apr 20, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Perfect Location but needs maintenance This perfectly located vacation rental has been a favorite of many families over the years. We loved being right on the bay & falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Sadly, there has been overdue maintenance that is being ignored, & with a change over from Turnkey/VRBO to Vacasa, the attention to customers is lacking. We have stayed in many vacation rentals & there's always a binder with house information to welcome us. In this house there was nothing at all. Our frustrations began when we arrived an hour before check-in & could not get in with the access code. Tried calling to talk with someone & waited forever to get a real person. Even though the place had clearly been cleaned & previous renters gone, we could not get in until 4:00PM. We made a list of frustrating maintenance neglect: upstairs bedroom sliding door falls off every third time it's opened, lockbox on back door so rusted that we couldn't return keys to it when we were leaving because it wouldn't close, two lights didn't work in upstairs bedroom (one by the mirror, & one in the bathroom over mirror), only two kitchen towels, no handle on BBQ lid, curtains in downstairs bedroom so tight on rods they wouldn't slide open or closed, upstairs main sliding doors to dining room very difficult to slide & lock. Nice bed linens, bath towels, & many kitchen tools. Missed a blender, more beach chairs, beach towels, & boogie boards. ##### Lynn M. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa A. Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved being on the ocean The view from the upstairs deck is so amazing. We brought binoculars and we could see dolphins across the bay. While we were there the neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was well stocked. I found the photos of the house misleading due to the house being more worn out than is shown in the photos. The bathroom upstairs is small. The setup downstairs is odd. The downstairs rooms are not connected with the upstairs and so families should be aware that those rooms would not work for small children, unless the adults were in one of the room downstairs. Our adult daughter was nervous to be downstairs at night on her own. You have to take an exterior stair and cross through the garage to get to the downstairs rooms. The bathroom downstairs is the hallway between the two bedrooms. The description in the listing really did not make this clear enough. It was winter and there were huge swells which made access to the water almost impossible. We were able to rent kayaks nearby on one day and went across the bay to snorkel at the Captain Cook monument. The location cannot be beat. The view incredible. ##### Teresa A.
