Ocean Beach Home In The Heart Of Authentic Old Hawaii

We had a wonderful time and Greg was excellent. I decided to provide a pros and cons list for those thinking of staying here. The house is lovely but we would not call it luxury.Pros: The covered lanai and ocean view, sound of waves is fabulous.All the appliances are new. It is old world Hawaii at its best. The beds are super comfortable. Linens are new. All soaps, shampoos,,conditioner, body wash avaiilable.The outside shower in the master bedroom is great.Plan to stay here most of the time. It's a long drive to anywhere. You can swim and snorkel at the beach here or several up the coast but its hard when rough in the winter.Only about a little over an hour drive to Volcano national park.Cons: If you are older, the stairs from the parking to the house with heavy luggage is a lot. The road down to the house is navigable but scary. You have to ride the brakes a lot.The bedrooms are air conditioned. But the main room is not and it gets very hot, even with all the windows open and the fans going.The second bedroom is also the TV room, so if you want to watch TV, understand that there is no bedroom privacy. (You shouldn't be watching tv much in the gorgeous place anyway!)(Greg, you should leave instructions as to how to use the satellite tv and all the apps. It's a bit complicated for people who aren't technology savvy).The curtains are see through, which lets the sun shine in. And anyone looking! This could be a pro and a con, depending on you.

We stayed Jan19-23 2026. This is not your typical VRBO. This new beach house is luxurious, even posh! Wonderful deck with lots of comfortable furniture and great ocean views. It has a double bed and 2 twins in the middle. Master bedroom with its own bath is separate, only accessible from the deck, in the back. 2 great outdoor showers. 2.5 baths. Amazing decks, with great views. Bedroom AC worked great. Huge fancy kitchen, dining, living space. We cooked dinner in twice, and the kitchen and BBQ worked perfectly. Everything in the house is new and in spotless condition. It’s across a very quiet street from the beach, so technically not ocean front—but again, great ocean views from the deck. There’s a house SW that’s barely visible, a small parking lot for Pebbles Beach across the street, another house to the NW, so you have a view from all the way south, to straight west, from the decks (and inside). To the south is a huge lava field and forest as far as the eye can see, so it’s comfortable taking a shower outside, as they face south. Road down is crazy steep! Our small Ford SUV rental struggled with just 2 of us! If you have a carload, consider renting something big, like a Suburban. Pebbles Beach, right across from the VRBO, is very dangerous; people do swim and snorkel there, but I strongly recommend against it. Owner Gregg was a great host—very helpful and communicative. If you’re looking for quiet, extremely nice, off the beaten path, this is an amazing place.

This was our second visit to this beautiful vacation home and we loved it just as much as our first! The home is clean and so well cared for - the kitchen has all the amenities we needed to cook multiple family meals. We enjoyed the incredible views over coffee each morning… and the Kona Paradise hill makes for a great workout if you’re up to it!! Gregg is an excellent host, we can’t wait to return again soon…

Great communication.. Clean great property
