This is a great house-- nicely appointed but not so chi chi that it feels uncomfortable. Convenience to Keiki Beach was amazing-- we loved walking out our back gate directly to the beach. Views are incredible, and the lanais are amazing. Would love it if there were a chaise or something on the Master Bedroom lanai. Access to town and shopping was fabulous. If you have little keikis (not in strollers), it's not really walking distance, but close enough. Kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room were all perfect and well-equipped. Several window cranks throughout the house need to be fixed, but that wasn't a big problem for us. Master bath jacuzzi wasn't operational when we were there, but again, not a big problem. The Master bathroom and closet were both absolutely enormous, and we loved the huge dual showerhead shower-- what a luxury! Construction next door really wasn't an issue-- virtually no noise, all during the middle of the day. The house is mostly done, regardless-- just needs some landscaping and interior work. In fact, most noise comes from the soccer/baseball field next to Kona Bay Estates-- the field is very well used, and there's lots of happy screaming during the day/evening. Didn't bother us at all, but visitors should be prepared. We weren't advised that we would have to pay an additional fee for A/C-- initially felt as though we were being nickel-and-dimed on top of the relatively high price for the house, but it was actually a good reminder that electricity is really at a premium on the island, and that we should be even more conservative than usual when using it. Ideally, the owners or manager should consolidate the two instruction binders-- there was some conflicting information. Customer service was great-- beautiful flowers upon arrival, and someone appeared to turn on the A/C within minutes after our call. We absolutely LOVED the Kona Brewing Company-- you MUST go. The pizza is to die for, and I've never tasted such amazing vanilla ice cream (and believe me, I've sampled a LOT). Also loved the Fair Wind II-- very professionally run, enjoyable catamaran, great snorkeling-- perfect for families with little ones. We also enjoyed sportfishing with the 'Bite Me' sportfishing company. Must go to Hapuna Beach-- one of the best we've ever been to. All-in-all, a great trip-- we would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!

Description
When you come to Hawaii you want to be on the ocean and be able to get into the water. Our luxury 3,070 square foot home is located on the most desirable beach in Kona. The beach is semi-private because of the limited access and is within a small enclave that has 24 hour security. more »
You just put on your bathing suit and walk out the door to either the beach or your private pool.
The home has three bedrooms with the master located on the second floor with its own lanai. The bathroom has a jetted tub and walk in shower. This bedroom is very large with a king size bed. The other two bedrooms are on the main floor, one with a queen, the other two twins.
There are a total of three large lanais, one at pool level, second at kitchen level, and the third for the master bedroom. The Kitchen lanai has sweeping views of the coast line and the beach to watch your family and friends and have Mai Tia's at sunset. There is no better setting on the island.
The kitchen has a subzero refrigerator, microwave, ice maker and granite counter tops.
Did I mention location? How about walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and tennis courts. Kona Bay Estates has some of the best preserved Hawaiian petroglyph a short walk down from the house.
