About this house rental
Located on a quiet oceanfront property just south of commercial Kona, this two-bedroom two-bath vintage cottage boasts a large covered lanai, classic Hawaiiana furnishings and a grassy yard with parking. With one queen bed and three twins, it’s ideal for a small to medium family or a couple wanting some well earned space. The kitchen, which offers both a bar and a dining table for four, has ocean views to the north and south, where whales splashing about offshore can be seen regularly from November-March.
Features:
*Queen bedroom
*Three twin beds (one bunkbed)
*Large covered lanai
*Weber charcoal grill
*Beach towels, umbrella, cooler
-Air Conditioning is not available
Two surf spots are located just out front to either side — one for all levels and one for experts only. Having been owned by the same family for three generations, this charming cottage has the upside of mixing time with labor of love.
*NOTE: This home is located on the marathon route for the Ironman World Championship that occurs in Kona every October, and will be affected by road closures related to the race.

Reviewer Comments:
Loved my stay here. Nice and close to Kona downtown. Private. Perfect cottage feel. Could use a few blinds on the deck to shade from the late day sun. Significant road noise from the bedrooms, but none out back. Would definitely return.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My husband and I stayed 10 days here for our 10 year annniversay trip and have never felt more at home at a vacation rental than we did here. The house is everything you want it to be. The locationnis perfect. Its private, quiet, and clean. The ocean views and daily sunsets were magical. We spent each day adventuring around Kona and couldnt wait to settle home here on the Lanai watching the sunset and having dinner listening to the waves, watching the survers, the sealife and the relaxation. I cant tell you how many times my husband fell asleep out there! When we come back to Kona we will look to book this place again. THANK YOU so much for givingnus a home away from home!

We recently stayed at this VRBO in Kona, and the highlight of the property is, without a doubt, the lanai. We spent most of our time there, soaking up sunsets and enjoying the ocean views. If you love outdoor spaces and don’t mind spending your vacation mostly outside, this place might suit you well.
We found the inside of the house very musty/dusty, it is definitely something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to dust or allergens. We knew it had no AC, but we had to make a Walmart run to buy air-purifying spray. We also ended up buying two large box fans since the ones provided were either too small, didn’t work, and were very dirty. For the price of the rental, we expected better upkeep. We messaged the host asking if there were options for us if we decided not to stay due to the dust leading to sinus issues for one of us. We were told they needed to speak to the owners, but unfortunately, we didn't hear any further so just dealt with it best we could.
If you’re all about the view and are okay with the quirks of tropical living, this place has its charms. But for the price, be aware of the trade-offs. This rental could be perfect for sunset lovers and lanai enthusiasts, but travelers with allergies or higher expectations for cleanliness and upkeep might want to explore other options.
