We had an intimate vacation to celebrate our nuptials in Kailua-Kona. This home was the perfect location for us and comfortably accommodated us and our 10 guests. Andrei was a very a helpful host and made sure to assist us with any request. I also appreciated that he was thoughtful enough to leave additional contacts, in case we couldn't reach him. The highlights of this location are the chefs kitchen, the front lanai with a beautiful ocean view and the mesmerizing natural light that comes through the large glass windows.
A few things to note about this location, are that it's on a steep hill in the middle of the lush Hawaiian vegetation. I personally think it adds to the authenticity of the tropical experience but you can expect to see a few wild animals during your stay. We received visits from wild pigs, roosters, hens, and we were also greeted by friendly geckos.
This home also has a "retro" feel on the inside which I think gives it personality but the outside is in need of some renovations. You can tell that the tropical weather has worn down the exterior and on the inside of the master bathroom we noticed some water damage and a slow leak. A few other issues we had were the pest in the master bathroom, the lack of lights in the driveway, and the fact that the home came with no keys to lock behind us. The area was safe but the lack of security did concern a few of our guests.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and my guest didn't want to leave because they had so much fun! If you are ever on the Island, this place is worth a stay.
