Kona Blue: Secluded Beachfront Home w/ Private Pool, AC & Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I, along with our children and their spouses, and two of his siblings, stayed at Kona Blue for a week to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We drove through the security gates of the neighborhood and knew immediately that we were in paradise! We had three vehicles with plenty of room for more in the driveway and easilyaccessed the house through the coded lock on the front door. The house is absolutely stunning, with unbelievable ocean views from most of the rooms! The kitchen offered everything we needed to enjoy our meals, both in the dining room and on the lanai. There was plenty of space for us to spread out when we needed to, with plenty of comfortable seating for the moments we wanted to enjoy together. The pool was the perfect temperature and offered a refreshing dip in the heat of the afternoon. There’s a easily accessible walkway through the gated neighborhood, between the houses and the ocean, to allow you to stroll through the neighborhood and snap that perfect picture of the sunset! The beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms decorated tastefully and beautifully. The property managers promptly answered our questions and helped us. After spending a few days touring the island and finding our favorite spots to spend our days, we realized just how perfect the location of this house really is. This house is a few minutes from the airport, bars, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. Perfect!"

"It is an older property. The property is undergoing some construction, which did not impact our stay. The rooms are a bit older in style and decor. The main restaurant is closed and has moved to the bar area. One of our room's bugs appeared one evening, and they offered to spray or move us. We opted for the move. That room was similar in decor to the one vacated. The salt pond pool was cool. Great views of the bay. It was within a brief walk to local dining and shopping."
