Avis Kona Palm House 3 Bed/2.5 Ba with Pool

Perfect location and lovely home. Can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was and how kind the owners are. Would definitely recommend 🌺

Great stay! Gorgeous sunset views from the 2 outside lanais. Well-stocked kitchen, perfect for all our cooking endeavours. Thoughtful touches like tourist books. Looked just like it did in the online listing. A relaxing stay for us.

Very convenient location and beautiful view of the ocean. Host was great and answered all our questions right away.

Our family had the best time! The house was fully stocked with everything you could ever need on vacation. Location was perfect. Close to all the activities we planned. The house was beyond perfect. Was so hard to leave the views!!

Wonderful home to be in!

Well maintained large house, beautiful sunset view and a nice big kitchen . They had beach toys and chairs that we used for our trips to the beach. We had a great stay!

This was our first experience with VRBO. The location was perfect, it was a quiet neighbourhood, close enough to all amenities. The house was clean and spacious, we had 7 people in our party and we all felt we had our own space. The pool was wonderful! We enjoyed our stay!

Nice location slope side which means breeze and cooler air in evening.

While this property is not on the beach, the location had a spectacular view of the ocean. Our sunsets every night were a site to behold! All of our Island trips avoided the traffic of Kona. While we were not able to enjoy the pool as much as we would have liked (it was February), we enjoyed the poolside every evening. The grill set up was great! This house had all the fixings. We really felt we were at home.

Unless you're familiar with Kona's neighborhoods, it's difficult to estimate the "softer" aspects of how a home's location may impact your vacation (read below for details possibly important to you). Props for general cleanliness, a generous amount of cooking tools and equipment, accommodations for younger children (not our demographic), and initial cleaning supplies. House sits atop a fairly steep driveway, which may be a concern for mobility-impaired guests wishing to walk the neighborhood. Other details summarized below. 😃 Pleasant/prompt owner communication - lovely porch w/ocean view & breeze - central location to Kona/Waikoloa - plenty of board games, beach chairs, pool toys - plenty of inside comfortable seating. 😑 (no fault of the owners!) This is not your typical quiet-ish tourist area…it’s a residential neighborhood with no quiet hours. Soundscape includes revving cars in driveways, audible late-night heated “conversations”, frequent toddler melt-downs, a symphony of noisy power tools from all sides at all hours, barking dogs, loud trucks and Harleys blaring music, screaming (versus crowing) roosters, and an army of nearby coqui frogs. All who live in this neighborhood are busy living their best lives…but be certain this environment meets your vacation expectations. ☹️ Only two comfortable porch chairs - well-worn pillows and only 2 pillows per person in all bedrooms - lower-end bed/bath linens - all TVs not connected to Dish TV - no TV in main living room - pool not heated - various hardware and cabinetry loose - no lighting for stairs leading to lower level - edges of area rugs curled up enough to present tripping hazard - no house “book” with garbage rules and pickup schedule, house guidelines, check-out expectations, etc. (though owner promptly answered questions).
