Gated & Private Hidden Gem 1 block from the Ocean!

House worked great for our family of 6. We were able to walk to a beach to watch the sunset every evening. But the walkable areas were not great for playing in the oceans. It was a short drive to magic sands and other swimming areas. Kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed to cook most meals at home. Comfy and clean.

Excellent rental for our family. We arrived after sunset so the house was dark. However the check-in instructions have the directions to the house; just don’t skip reading them! Kitchen was well equipped; the only thing we would add are baking sheets and maybe some more airtight food storage containers. The living area was very comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed coffee and card games on the lanai. Bedrooms and bathrooms were good sized, plenary of closet and drawer space. The AC was helpful for sleeping. This house is in a quiet residential area about 2.5 miles south of downtown Kona. You can walk to a secluded “beach” from the house, but it’s not for swimming. Swimming/snorkeling beaches are not far by car. If you walk or run, Ali’i drive is a block away and usually packed with pedestrians. First Island Realty was responsive to all our concerns. Mahalo nui!

This property was the perfect home base for our Big Island adventures! We especially enjoyed coffee each morning while sitting out on the front porch watching birds, geckos and the occasional neighborhood cat play amongst the plumeria and hibiscus. The yard is small but faces a private, gated drive and there is there is ample patio furniture.

This was a nice place to stay for our family of 4 (2 being teenagers). Everyone had space and AC units in their rooms. The property had nice places to sit outside and the furniture and beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to do the simple cooking we did. Plenty of beach towels in one of the bedroom closets. The place is located within a little neighborhood and there is little space around the house, that is my only negative, but that is also just the area. Overall it was a great place to stay!

Well maintained, nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable- air conditioning worked great which was a much needed break from the heat.
