Absolutely wonderful time!

The house was everything we needed..plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms..and with a drop dead view and breezes. Walkable to town with a shuttle stop just down the street. Everyone enjoyed the spa and feeding the eels (they finished off the lunch meat and bread on checkout). The owner was super helpful and very responsive.Hated to leave and would love to go back.

Unbeatable ocean front

If you want a convenient ocean front property this is it. This authentic, old Hawaiian beach house has a spectacular, convenient location, stunning ocean views and sunsets and the pool/jacuzzi make you never want to leave. Ocean breezes flow through the house so while there is no AC, it's not needed. It is an older home so don't expect perfection but the owner and team do everything possible to make your stay unforgettable. Home is stocked with everything you need from a fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and coolers. For location and price point it's an amazing property!

Best Ever Ocean Front House

Best location in Kailua-Kona. The surf can reach the pool. The salt water pool was the most soothing experience. Perfect sunsets sitting at the outside dining table. The house is older but has that oceanside feel of perfection. My family all agreed this was their best vacation experience ever. A special thanks to Mark.

Oceanside

The location of the property is amazing. The house has ample space. Plenty of beds are available. The kitchen is well equipped. Pool is nice. The pool deck however needs some attention. During our stay, the weather was extremely humid and our little baby felt very hot and uncomfortable. The only air conditioner in the master bedroom however was out of order. Otherwise our stay was very enjoyable. The host and the manager were very helpful and friendly.

Best Ocean Front Home

Mark was absolutely fantastic to deal with and as well the check in process with his on-site manager was easy after our long flight. The home is just as advertised!! Hearing the ocean waves crash into the pool and the views at night of the sunset were out of this world. Close to downtown and everything we could possibly need was at the house including ice chests, beach chairs, BBQ, body boards....the list is endless. Trust me, you will not be disappointed in your stay at this wonderful home. We will be back!! Dennis J. Luca

Can’t beat the view

As Captain Mark calls it, it is a beautiful old beach house. The doors opening to the pool and ocean beyond kept the place as cool as the out of doors and brought the ocean air throughout the house. Having a little one there made for a bit of a challenge in that she had to be watched continuously, but we knew that going in. The pool is a saltwater pool, but ocean saltwater, which was obviously necessary because the big waves splashed into it. The rooms without direct opening to the ocean could be a little warmer, but not unbearably so. The only issue we had was the frequency of visits by the owner or manager or gardener or pool guy. The communication was outstanding. It did make it feel a little less like “our” place during the stay. All of that said, it was a wonderful place for my family’s vacation.

Amazing Family Vacation

This property was absolutely perfect for our family’s Hawaiian Christmas. The location is phenomenal. All of us loved sleeping to the sound of crashing waves, the beautiful sunsets and spotting all of the sea life through out the day! There was plenty of space for all 10 of us. The house had everything we needed and more. Mark and his team think of everything! The consistent communication ahead of our trip made us even more excited. Thank you Mark for giving us the perfect place to create life long memories for 3 generations of our family! We would love to come back one day!!

Excellent View

Exactly what we expected for a beach house on the shores of Kona. Pool and spa were excellent for the days we didn’t travel to a beach and for afternoon Happy Hour. The house had everything we needed from beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas for shade. The kitchen was well supplied, the beds were comfortable and listening to the waves at night put us right to sleep. Mark and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. Excellent hosts and will definitely come back again.

This house is well appointed, the outside area is outstanding which is why you are in Hawaii. The layout of the house is upstairs a master with ensuite. 2 more bedrooms upstairs with a shared bathroom and a main floor 2 singles bedroom with an ensuite. Kitchen is also downstairs. We walked into town everyday and the free trolley stops right outside the house. You could not get a better location to go into town. Owner is very nice and responsive as well.

Perfect home for families

I've stayed at many vacation rentals all across the world, including one in Kona Bay Estates. This is the only house I want to rent again and again. I am so glad I came across this listing and it happened to be available. Mark is an amazing host with a lot of useful travel tips and was extremely accommodating by allowing us to stay way past checkout time with our red eye flight back to Los Angeles. This house was perfect for my crew of 3 boys. The tide pools surrounding the house are worth the stay alone. We cannot wait to come back!

A perfect vacation for us!

Amazing!! Trip of a lifetime. The house was perfectly suited for us. Amenities were plentiful. Fished off the pool deck and caught on the first cast. The eels were a nightly event to feed and watch them come out of the cave. We ate in almost every night of the ten nights we were there because there simply is no better view than from the deck!!! Mark was a delight from start to finish. Can’t wait to go back.

What can I say…..

That hasn’t already been said:) Ideal property to hang out in or stage from with outings and day trips. The pool was a great source of fun and relaxation. The views, outstanding. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials to cook for our group of 10. The space was expansive with great tv and internet. Our grandkids had a ball. Temps were moderate with easy winds and evening showers. COVID kept the dining outings limited, but Costco and the new Safeway filled all food/pupu requirements. Mark’s place was the perfect remedy for the last year. He was a great and accommodating host.

Best vacation ever!!!

We had the best time. The house was a dream and the pool was amazing. Even though there wasn’t air conditioning we were fine. Leaving the upstairs doors open at night and listening to the ocean helped you fall a sleep. There was such a nice breeze every night. We saw dolphins , a sting ray and one morning a very large seal sun bathing on the rocks. The house had everything we needed and Marc always answered my calls anytime. Sherry does a great job making you feel welcome. We would definitely come back and stay here.. There were 9 of us with kids and we had so much room . Such a beautiful house and very spacious . We explored the island and loved coming back and jumping in the pool. We absolutely loved it there. Best time ever. Barb Rusinovich

Paradise for our family

This house was perfect for our family of 7 for a number of reasons. First, the location was perfect. It is right in Kona and only a 20 minute ride from the airport. We booked a lot of activities and were super close to the hotels for pick up. The house is within walking distance to town but if you don't want to walk, the free trolley stops across the street and comes by hourly. Second, the ocean is literally right behind the house and the views were unbelievable. The pictures are accurate, but do not do it justice! We saw the most beautiful sunsets each night and were lulled to sleep by the crashing waves. Third, our family is made up of 3 generations and we all live in different states. We had so much fun hanging out and catching up and there was plenty to entertain to everyone. We napped in the sun, played in the pool, fed the eels, fished off the lava rock, had a family movie night, cooked family meals and practiced putting on greens that surround the house. Lastly, the owner was very helpful prior to our stay with offering to assist with arrangements as well as during our stay. This was our first trip to the Big Island and we had an amazing time...it definitely will not be the last. We are already talking about our next visit!

AMAZING!

My family loved our week here from the moment we walked in the front door. this place is what you need if you live a hectic life. The waves are loud and crashing , you sleep like a baby. The view is worth the stay. We cooked and had a staycation. Played cards outside at night and sat in the hot tub. Our highlight was feeding the eels. The kitchen is well stocked and I appreciated that things were there in the fridge and cupboards. We left things for the next guess to use. The house has beach chairs and umbrellas and ice chests so that was a treat. Mark is only a text away and he is very helpful and knowledgeable as well. We cant wait to go back and spend another great vacation there! I loved the location and the minor street noise is worth being so close to town. Sure a/c would be nice but you only have a few hours a day it’s kinda muggy then hello trade winds here they come and your cool again.

LOVE the Location, Amenities, Pool, and Owner! 1500 characters is not enough to describe!

Firstly, we want to stress how frequent the communication process was. Mark provides constant communication, knowledge, pics/videos of the property, & the events of the area. Property manager, Shellese, is the best ever! She met us for check-in, went over all the home's features, and gave many recommendations of places to see, activities, & restaurants. Both she and Mark checked in regularly and sent other places of interest by text or call. The pool is amazing in size for a large group, and we spent a lot of our trip there. It is a great way to cool off in the Hawaii summer. The house does not have air conditioning, which I missed on the listing. However, there are many, many doors and windows to open to get airflow. Shellese stopped by with an extra fan when she found out some were not working. The kitchen is large and appliances in great working order. They have it stocked with all the plates, cups, silverware, food prep material that a large group would need. There were plenty of towels, paper products, everything a home would have and a traveler would not want to pack or buy. There is also a putting range around the property that we had fun with and a whole other lawn area with fresh produce, more putting, and another entrance into the ocean. We had a blast walking on the volcanic rock beach at different times of the day to see all of the ocean life ~ even a turtle! Mark was extremely flexible when we needed a late afternoon checkout due to airline delays. No regrets!

Iconic Ocean Front Memory Maker

What makes this property amazing? You get to ogle the waves, listen to the waves, feel the splash - while sitting in the pool or walking the wall. You're not thrashed about, but you are in a dream - warm and clean water with views to die for. The house is comfortable. Incredibly wonderfully comfortable. We kept trying to figure out how to describe it. Fancy? No. Yet well furnished, and beachy, and so so so comfortable. Nice beds. Quality furniture. Ever been at a rental that sleeps 6-8 but you can't actually enjoy each others' company together? Not here. There is comfy seating for 8 in the living room with everyone feeling like they have a great seat to watch a movie or play a video game. There is comfy seating for 8 at the dining table, so you can enjoy your mealtime. There is comfy seating for 6 in loungers by the pool and comfy seating for 8+ on the upper pool deck and outside table. We could be together without being on top of each other and be apart when we'd had just a little too much togetherness. There were tons of pool toys and beach accouterment (chairs, snorkels, etc.). The kitchen was well stocked. The owner and manager were flexible and helpful. The towels were plentiful and fluffy. It was about 1/2 mile to the edge of town and we walked in often. Bikeshare racks are both up and down the street in easy walking distance. We had a car rental for a couple of days, but the rest of the week we easily got around by other means (feet, bikes, uber, shuttle). Oh and killer wifi. And sunsets. And really cool eels that were fond of hotdogs. And four bathrooms. And and and... Would we stay again? In a heartbeat. Please. Please. Please.
