“Kona townhouse” Great location...just need a little more of supply esp dish soap...otherwise the place is great...well supplied...Enjoyed the visit and the stay. It needs to have a big recycle bin next the trash bin...the only recycle bin we found is next to the pool/office. Also the property needs some upgrade...the window blinds at the other room is broken... bathtub upstairs needs more cleaning...sort of dirty... but downstairs shower is accessible and clean.

“Beautiful Ocean Front Townhouse” My family and I enjoyed staying at Keauhou Kona #5 Townhouse. The Townhome was very well maintained. The two-story unit was very stylish with new granite countertops. We very much enjoyed the lanai and being so close to the ocean. The beach was not crowded and we saw turtles everyday. What I liked best about the location was that we felt isolated from all the traffic, yet there many nice restaurants, grocery stores and shopping malls close to the townhouse. Sally is so kind and so very helpful. Thank you again Sally!!! The Kramers

“Just what we were looking for!” Turtle Rock was perfect for our family of four, you couldn't ask for a better location! It's close to town if your looking to partake in some of the shopping, restaurants and excursions that Kailua has to offer, but far enough to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Big Island. The pool was clean and refreshing, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, plates, utensils, and the BBQ came in quite handy. Outdoor furniture was comfortable for watching the sunset, surfers and sea life that flourished right under you! Geckos were out and about but not overwhelming. We did run into a few bugs and insects, but nothing that would keep us from coming back. The place could use a little maintenance but overall seemed well taken care of for being so close to the ocean. It was also a little warm because there is no air conditioning but opening all of the doors cooled off the place quickly. The snorkeling down the road and even right out from the house was amazing, better than our excursion snorkeling by far!! We saw turtles and tons of fish, it can get a little sketchy near the rocks so be careful. Basically we would go back in a heartbeat! A big mahalo to the owners for sharing their piece of heaven with the rest of us :)

“great location and views” awesome location, views, and accommodations. book early because from that calendar on the owners link it fills up fast. just an fyi when you arrive there is underground parking that i have noticed people don't realize. as in any vrbo please leave some pass it forward things. i left some spices, boggie board and a large fan. aloha.

“Amazing Beachfront Location! Can't be beat!” We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful condo in august-September. It was the perfect set-up for our family trip. Our four-year old twin daughters and our mothers joined us and we couldn't have asked for more. It was clean, with a well appointed kitchen, stocked with everything we could possibly ask for. The furnishings were clean and comfortable, the beds and bedding were cozy and clean. The best feature of this venue however is the waterfront lanai. We enjoyed sitting out dining al fresco, watching the ocean views and amazing sunsets over the ocean. The sandy beach below is literally fifty feet away and a perfect place for kids! Our girls absolutely loved the little beach and it was a daily favorite on our agenda. The grands could watch the girls having fun below, without ever leaving the house. We enjoyed grilling out several times on on the waterfront grassy BBQ area. The grills are spotless and maintained and cleaned daily. The grounds were safe and secure. The location is close to downtown Kona, shopping, restaurants and groceries in either direction, not to mention great pit stop for sight seeing locations and beaches. We had a couple of challenges arise during our 11day stay, but the owner took care of things for us and made sure things were made right. The only other concern we had was the humidity in late august, which was sometimes heavy, but with screens open and fans running it was manageable. Over all we loved our vacation and wouldn't change a thing. We'll now also be spoiled to oceanfront accommodations and the sound of the waves beneath our windows. We would recommend this rental, and would return again! Thanks Kathy & Bruce.

“Amazing, Spectacular, Beautiful and Highly recommended!” We arrived at night to Kona View and just the drive there was awesome! Once we arrived we were greeted by Randy and atsumi. The house was lit up and we could see the infiniti pool and some of the beautiful vegetation in front of the house. The house was clean and bright and modern. Our first morning at Kona View Estates was quiet and we had fresh Kona ground coffee delivered hot to us by Randy. The next 12 days were full of rest and relaxation and its finest! We will definitely be returning next year if we can!!!

“Execellent and affordable place to stay in Kona.” We have stayed here five times in past seven years. It is definitely our favorite place to stay in Kona. We have visited every Hawaiian island except Lanai. The Big Island is our favorite and the Kona Makai is a wonderful, beautiful, quite and relaxing place to stay. Grills are located on the ocean front. Excellent sunsets with the occasional "green flash." Walk to town, restaurants, church, numerous beaches and stores. We highly recommend it to family and friends.

“Great for family vacation. Awesome setting.” I was worried about this Beach House before renting but we would up loving it. The reviews seemed to range. There are some comments that the beach in front of house is small, yes the beach is small but it is also quite perfect for snorkeling, looking at or a quick dip. It was great sleeping to the sound of the ocean, the view is so nice you don't want to stop looking at it. One important note which it is hard to discover unless you stay here. The beach in front of the house is NOT your personal private beach, Visitors mostly locals and other renters visit the beach pretty much every day via a public walkway. There is a short wall separating you from the beach which is nice. It was never crowded it just has probably at most I have seen 10 people. The only issue with this is that it feels like your beach, but people keep coming to it. I got over this after the first day. The mornings and evenings the beach was usually empty and all to ourselves. The turtles come near you non stop at this beach which is really cool. The House upstairs is basically one giant room with 2 bathrooms, the rooms separate via closable walls which was convenient for us and well designed. The downstairs has a living area, kitchen and another bathroom. For our family this house was perfect. Something to note: There were lizards and occasional insects which appeared to be some kind of roach, however this did not bother us as a tropical hawaiian roach is not nearly as bad as a NYC roach. The furnishings of the house are in good shape, there are no frills in this house it is basically an older beach cottage. The house had beach gear and snorkeling gear available which was great. If you rent it, we left one of our little girls life jackets so you may see that there LOL. The place was clean with clean linens and towels. There is a property manager who lives on the grounds. She was very helpful. I would stay here again and would also recommend this house. I attached 3 pics. One is of the beach, There is sand you just can't see from the shot, two is from one of the rocks outside - house is on right, and 3 is of the sunset. Side note if you don't know anything about big island: Kona is where you want to be on the Big Island if you like nice weather. I did not realize there are basically two sides to stay. Kona side and Hilo Side. Luckily this is on Kona side. Hilo has a bunch of stuff to do and hikes, waterfalls, museums etc, also closer to volcanos but its the "rainy" side. I would rather be on the sunny side and travel to the other side.
