My family and I spent the last leg of our 2 week trip in Hawaii at the Kona house and it was a fantastic place to wrap up our holiday vacation. This is an unbelievably gorgeous property that really exceeded our expectations. The entire house was immaculate, modernly designed and decorated, and we felt very pampered during our stay. The lanai was our favorite - extremely spacious with a 180 view of the coast. We did not meet our hosts during the stay but they were timely with our inquiries and communication was reliable. There is snorkel and beach gear, a stocked kitchen, espresso machine, and a hot tub! Although the house is not actually in Kona (about a 20 min drive), we found the location to be ideal because we spent a day exploring, hiking and snorkeling in Captain Cook. If you're looking for a luxury experience on Big Island for a good value, this place can't be beat.
