Ginger House

Guest Rating:

Great house, with good beach access for a non-beachfront property. The sand beach is rare on the Big Island. The close access to town made it easy to plan our day. "Huggos on the Rocks" and "Jackie Reys" are great places to eay. The only negative was the pool was way too cold to swim. We went in January so the sun may warm it in the summer.

Guest Rating:

The Hibiscus Hale home on the Big Island was perfect for our family. The pool and yard were clean and well maintained. We especially loved the fact that the downstairs was large enough for our kids to have their "own" space. We will definitely come back in the future! Mahalo. To future guests...bring a knife sharpener if you plan on cooking. We easily refilled the propane and bar-b-que'd almost every night. With all the wonderful fresh fish at the local markets - who could resist? Aloha & see you soon.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ginger House! We loved the openess and the many sliding doors exiting to the pool or the lanais. The customer service was excellent! We would have loved to have four chaise lounges there, instead of the two provided for us. We bought two additional ones at Kmart and left them there. The house was amazing and furnished in the Hawaiian theme which was fun. Our only complaint was the two bedrooms on each side of the stairs with the open space. The blinds were nice, but these two bedrooms didn't give the occupants any privacy. We had a fabulous time and loved the proximetry of the beach and lagoon, directly across the street. Thanks for a wonderful and restful family vacation!

We had a fantastic time at this house. It was everything we had hoped for in our vacation lodging. The house was clean, well kept, and very very well stocked with everything we needed as a family vacation, but could not take with us on the aircraft: beach towels, beach mats, sun umbrella, kids sand toys, etc. Bring your own soap and shampoo....

The beds were fantastic...better than ours at home unfortunately - and the kitchen very well equipped, including a stock of spices and other non-perishables. What we needed we bought locally. We purchased our food at the Sack and Save, and joined their "shopping club". It saved about 30% on our grocery bill, and cost nothing.

The place is about 10 miles away from the Kona airport, in a quiet residential neighborhood. Even at night, the house was easy to find on our first arrival, and we had no difficuties with getting in. We never saw anyone else on the street, but it was a nice neighborhood nonetheless. The view from the back deck was beautiful at sunset, but the only way to see the ocean was from the crow's nest office room, up on the very top pf the house. To call this a 'partial ocean view" is a bit of a stretch, but I would not consider it a negative against the listing.

Enjoy!

The view was stunning, the house just beautiful. very spacious, ideal for my family and I to enjoy my fathers 60th birthday. Kona itself was a little dead, and all restaurants were shut by 9pm. we spent most of the week enjoying oursleves on the premises with bbq's and glasses of wine.
the weather is something i would like to have been told about. It was always beautiful in the mornings, but by early afternoon a type of volcanic ash fog had built up all over the island. Every evening we had strong down pours, which could last a few hours, then morning was gorgeous again.
We also took a plane ride around the island and i would strongly reccommend that. It gave a great insight to the entire island, a fantastic view of the volcano and a great all round impression of "Big Island" itself. Money well spent.
all in all i really could not fault the house. the tv would not work for us, and a cable guy had to come out mid week and the sound system was faulty, but the standard of accomodation was second to none.
i would definitely return to this house without a seconds thought. It is a great way to switch off watch the pacific and relax to a sunset in the heated jacuzzi! We all really thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and thanks to Hawaiin beach holidays for that

It was a very enjoyable stay -- beautiful setting and great house. I would have preferred air conditioning for the master bedroom however so that we could close the windows while we slept (the wonderful waves crashing on the rosks is pretty noisy when one is trying to sleep). Kit Foley from Blue Sky Cuisine came to our house to cook a wonderful meal for our anniversary and we'd definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

The location and view is magnificent. Repair man was prompt when the garage door openers and stove did not work. Dryer in basement does not work. Internet service was dial up. On the webpage they talk about high speed wireless but does not exist. Need to fumigate for Cockroaches. If you don't mind sharing your space with these pesky creatures you will enjoy your holiday. They seem to be everywhere. The Volcano Park was special with the new activity at Kilauea. Snorkeling is great with many beaches to try. Weather was lovely, people were friendly. Space nice for family reunion.

Light House

Guest Rating:

Hello,
We loved the home we stayed in. It was perfect for 9 people. We also liked how accessible everything was from this location, walks on the beach, walks into Kona, shopping and the hwy to leave the city.

The home was clean and well cared for.

My only complaint would have been the construction next door which started at 7 am every day except Sunday. We were in bed early and up early but it would have been nice to have a choice sometimes as it was quite noisy. We realize this is beyond your control. Maybe an 8 am start would have been nice but for workers we realize it is cooler earlier.

We had concerns over the shower floor in the master bedroom as the water never drained properly and sat in the doorway. We mopped the water up as it concerned us.

Otherwise we loved the house, the big island and had a wonderful trip. I would recommend the home and the place to anyone.

Thank you
Barb Munro

Kona Alii Makai

Guest Rating:

Hi! We have just returned from a week at Kona Alii Makai and every minute was a delight. Two of our children, each with a spouse and three children, stayed there, and they loved both the informality of the house and its openness to h sea. They also loved that they could do all their meals together but get away from one another when they wanted to, given the two floors. The pounding sea and lava tide pools were a highpoint for both kids and adults, with lots of interest in the turtles, birds, crabs, and gekos! There were a few mechanical problems but Will was there within minutes to fix things and did a great job. The fresh flowers and Kona coffee which were promised were not there, but this was no hardship!
