Breathtaking views on the Kona Coast This property was everything you hope for in a Big Island getaway! Our group of 9 (myself, my wife, 4 kids ages 5-11, and 3 grandparents) loved having this magical getaway as our “home base” on the island. After long days hiking, exploring, snorkeling, and zip lining, it felt so good to come “home” and enjoy the lanai while watching the sun set over the ocean. Our kids loved the pool, exploring the lava rock & tide pools, and snorkeling the large tidal pool just to the side of the property (great for beginners!).We enjoyed making pizzas in the outdoor oven, drinks at the outdoor kitchen/bar, family dance party’s on the lanai, and we even had a chef come one evening to cook an amazing fresh meal (highly recommended!).While you won’t find much time to spend inside since the outdoor areas are so amazing, the inside is just as enjoyable! There is plenty of room to spread out, amazing art to enjoy throughout the house, and the most comfortable beds we have ever had.This house is NOT a rental property…it’s a home. I hesitate to even write this review because I want to keep this property Kona’s best kept secret!If you’re thinking twice about the renting this home, this is your sign, BOOK IT NOW!

We were looking for a relaxing Christmas getaway and this really did the trick!Check in was great. We got a tour of the home and how to use everything. It was stocked with treats, a generous welcome basket, and drinks. The home has everything you’ll need. There were four beach chairs, three boogie boards, umbrellas and shade cover, rock shoes and snorkel gear for your time on the go. We had a in home massage therapist come by to massage all the adults. It was excellent. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Beautiful home and wonderful experience.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in November at Kona Beach Estate! We spent an entire week and our experience was more than we could have hoped for. The property was clean, well maintained, spacious for our large out-going family, and had everything we needed for our stay. We spend most of our time enjoying the stunning backyard, using all of the amenities for family dinners each night. It was a perfect location for us as Kona is a short drive or walk away. We also enjoyed the market right across the street. My husband and I got married at the property, and had the wedding we have always dreamt of. We had an intimate 25 guest wedding keeping the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all on property. Our guests who did not stay at the house, stayed a few homes down and were able to walk back after the celebration. Karen was extremely helpful before and during our stay, and provided us with a variety of highly rated vendors in the area. We had a completely stress free and smooth wedding experience. Karen was wonderful to work with always being kind and timely when communicating. They went above and beyond leaving a welcome basket full of local goods and fun toys for the kids. Our entire family could not agree more with how relaxing and enjoyable the vacation and wedding were. We highly recommend staying at Kona Beach Estate!

We were a family of 9 coming to town for our daughters wedding. This house is truly spectacular and exceeded our expectations. The description doesn't do it justice. The 3 main house bedrooms are massive and all have onsuites with an incredible view over the ocean. The main house has a lovely eat in kitchen/ dining area with an additional huge dining area outside under the covered lanai complete with outdoor seating, bar and drop down TV. The back deck's view is breathtaking and complete with pool and hottub and grills and live herbs. The additional house on the gated property has 4 bedrooms, and its own kitchen and living room. My adult children loved the privacy of this separate house but preferred to hang out with us in the main house and enjoy the direct views of the ocean. The beds and linens were extremely comfortable. The manager Michelle was on site to greet us and provide a welcome basket and tour. We had a few small issues upon arrival and she was very attentive and fixed everything promptly. Other than wanting to buy the house we will definitely be back! We have rented houses on the big Island for years and have never enjoyed ourselves so much. This house has everything!

The place was amazing! The place was even nicer than the pics! And huge! Rooms were bigger than some apartments I've been in. The place was amazingly equipped with everything under the sun, mostly Hawaiian themed. And a nice added touch was the large quantity of snacks and drinks to get us started.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully appointed home in a beautiful setting. Access to beach was adjacent to the property, spectacular views abound. This home will be first on my list for any return trip to Kona. Centrally located what seemed to be between both Kailua and Keauhou Bay, a short strip to both.

Perfect paradise for our big family celebration! This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 11 in every way. Yes, we did fight over the rooms! The ocean sunset view is unbeatable!! We loved having easy access to the beach as it was perfect for the kids. The main home and cottage are both impeccably clean, furnished beautifully, and fully equipped with anything you might need. They seriously thought of everything, except maybe a decanter? 😉 Being right on Ali'i Drive was great and nothing we wanted to do was more than 15 mins away. There's just so much to do nearby! Karen and management were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and gave wonderful recommendations on what to do during our stay. We ended up going with a private chef on her recommendation along with a private luau right on our own lanai to celebrate a big anniversary. Sure beats packing everyone up in the car to go to the nearest resort with a show!! We loved our stay here and hope to be able to return someday soon!

Our family of 13 stayed here for a week. (Three generations with six adults and seven kids aged 2-17.) It is so spacious and everyone was comfortable. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and fully stocked. We used the grill, pizza oven, etc. - it had everything we needed for our stay. 10/10. Would stay here again. The view and location are unbeatable.

I cannot say enough to recommend this beautiful home and our amazing hosts, Annie and Karen! Not only is the home absolutely stunning, it is stocked with everything you would need for your stay and the perfect accommodation for a large family gathering. Our hosts provided excellent, friendly communication before and after our stay and greeted us with the most thoughtful welcome basket full of local goodies! My family and I enjoyed all our meals out on the lanai and had a front row seat to sunrise and sunset views. Between the pool, hot tub, lounge chairs, and games we could have happily stayed at the house the entire trip! That said, the home is conveniently located to other local beaches and lots of cute shops and restaurants to explore. Overall we had the most incredible trip and would definitely come back to stay here again 🙂 Mahalo!

The home is in a wonderful location, it has privacy but is also easy to get to other places to eat and shop. They did such a great job setting the home up for visitors and making sure that you were taken care of and you had what you needed. We loved staying at the house and would definitely come back!

We had the most spectacular stay here last week! Annie and Karen made us feel incredibly welcome with a basket of local goodies, a memorial lei for our mother, candy leis for the kids, and so much more. The property is absolutely stunning, and we spent nearly all our time on the lanai, soaking in the breathtaking views, playing games in the pool, and unwinding in the hot tub. The home is beautifully decorated with charming, cozy touches everywhere, and they had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Karen and Annie took extraordinary care of us before, during, and after our trip. Their attention to detail is truly out of this world. We would have been over the moon to never leave the property during our stay! We couldn't recommend this property more highly, it's a true slice of paradise!

I can't say enough incredible things about the property. The lava rock formations out in front of the home are absolutely to die for providing an amazing texture to the incredible unmatched ocean view. The home was very very well appointed with everything you could possibly need to have a comfortable stay. Unlike some rentals, all of the beds were very comfortable, which is extremely important to me. Both Karen and Annie were gracious and wonderful hosts. We definitely will come again.

This beautiful house definitely exceeded any of our expectations, we were blown away by this spacious home situated directly on the water. Our favorite part was drinking Kona coffee in the morning watching the ocean for hours. The kitchen was stocked with things we would need to cook, which was a nice touch. The master and junior master have unbelievable views of the beach/ocean. We couldn't recommend this house enough, the memories made here will always be cherished by my family and I!

Absolute beautiful property! Excellent location and the property is even better than the photos. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone who is either a first time or repeat visitor to the Big Island. Property manager and owner were very accessible, although we never needed them because the property was perfect.

A great home in a great location. Jill, the property manager was excellent. Had a couple questions early in our stay and she responded immediately with answers. Outdoor bar with tv was great for football weekend. Steps to the ocean. Easy walk into town for food / shopping / etc. easily the best place I've stayed on the Big Island after a number of visits. Thanks to our host Karen for mailing such a fantastic spot available.
