The most important thing to convey is that the pictures of this location don't do it justice!

The back yard and lanai are about 40 feet off the ground and there are no houses or structures of any kind that obstruct it, so you have a vista view of the entire Kona skyline sunrise to sunset!

The house is nice, reasonably modern, and well equipped with everything we needed.

The host was responsive, and accurately described everything about the house and its amenities and answered all of my questions in a timely fashion with a polite air.

Overall, I'd rate it a 92 on my personal scale of awesomeness.

Just some very minor additions would make the place perfect (some Hawaiian decor and a table on the back patio)... but for the price I honestly don't think you'll find a better place in the Kailua Kona area that is this clean, or a house with a better view. The sunsets were stunning.

All the extra's were also great, such as the beach chairs, umbrella's, and some of the stuff other folks have left in the garage such as ice-coolers, day bags, snorkel gear, etc.

The house is comfortable, beautiful, and functional. Clean, cool, and equipped with everything you'll need (including some left over food-stuff in the pantry such as spices, cooking oil, napkins, etc.)

We would definitely stay here again.
