Guest Reviews
Akoa Place in Kahakai Estates
Perfect for all ages
by Michael
5/5
Wonderful property. Perfect for all ages.
Highly recommend!
by Penny
The house was exactly how it is listed on line. Plenty of space for 5 people. Extremely clean and well stocked. But the best part was the outside patio area! We spent every morning and evening outside with the incredible view and pool. It really is amazing! I don’t think we could have wanted for anything more! Highly recommend!
Would rent again
by George

Interior slightly dated but plenty of space and the patio makes up for it. Kudos on the kitchen gadgets. Wish you could turn the AC past 74. Would rent again
Luxury Escape
by Andrea
5/5
I recently had the most incredible stay at Akoa Place, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning panoramic ocean views—watching the sunset from the infinity pool was truly magical.The home itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. The open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and large sliding doors let in so much natural light, making the space feel warm and inviting. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, and the master suite with the jetted tub felt like a private spa retreat.One of my favorite parts of the stay was the outdoor area. The lanai was perfect for morning coffee, the lava rock BBQ made grilling in the evenings a treat, and the lush tropical landscaping gave the whole property a secluded, peaceful feel.The location was fantastic—tucked away in a quiet, gated community, yet still close to great snorkeling spots, restaurants, and shopping. It felt like the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.Every detail in this home has been thoughtfully considered, from the well-stocked kitchen to the little touches that make it feel like a luxury escape. If you're looking for the perfect Kona retreat, Akoa Place is it! I can't wait to come back.

This house and the views are amazing!! We were celebrating our 25th Anniversary. This was our second time in this house and our 5th time on the Big Island. Our days were spent swimming in the pool, reading and more swimming. With a little sightseeing. All the Kona Coast staff were once again very helpful and excellent to work with. We will, with high praise, recommend Kona Coast Vacations (and this house) to any friends planning a trip future trip to Kona. I know we will be repeating this vacation soon.

Great views and a very comfortable
by Morgan
5/5
The property location was great. Great views and a very comfortable house for our families one week stay. Our grandson surely made use of the pool. Spacious for the three generations to have space when needed. They could use a better cleaning company though. But nothing a little sweeping and vacuuming couldn’t take care of. Overall I would definitely lease this property again. Aloha, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and provide us with valuable feedback! Next time you stay with us please reach out if the home has any cleaning issues as we can send the cleaner back. Thank you for staying with Kona Coast Vacations, we hope to see you in the future!
I recommend this for family stays.

Beautiful Views!
by Jake
5/5
Beautiful views! The house was very comfortable for 3 adult couples. The kitchen was at the top end of rental kitchens I've experienced. Just a few minutes in the car to things in Kailua. Kona Coast was very professional. We would definitely go back!
exactly as described
by Jackie
5/5
The house is in a great neighborhood in Kailua-Kona. We felt very safe and the house was exactly as described. A few items that would make it better for a long stay: more towels and blankets are needed for 6 people; and we should have the option to heat the pool!!
Wonderful Vacation Spot
by Dianne
5/5
Akoa Place was a wonderful vacation spot!. Location was far enough away from Kona town that we felt it was a secure oasis with beautiful grounds and an amazing view! I would recommend the property to friends and family for future vacations. I did leave a list of items that could improve future stays but most were minor. Thanks for an incredible time away!
We will be back!

Pool Is the Highlight
by Shauna
5/5
The pool is the highlight- its a great size for the kids to play while the adults sip drinks in the loungers placed in the shallow water! The house is large and well situated for multiple families. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you will need. Enjoy!

What a View
by Michelle
5/5
Our family had a great stay at this property. The location is great for going places in town, as well as south and north of property. Nice to get away from crowds and sit by the infinity pool. Used the snorkel and beach gear multiple times.
Very Pleased
by Kari
5/5
We were very pleased with everything this house offered. Clean, quiet and very easy to relax. Only access with codes, we felt safe. There were plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and beach/ pool towels. Kitchen had every utensil and appliance you would need. Overall we were very impressed.
Impressed
by Teresa
5/5
Found the property no problem and got right in. We were immediately impressed with the spacious rooms and the gorgeous pool and ocean view in the back. Also the landscaping was unbelievable. All types of flowering and fruit trees and shrubs. In the house, the master bedroom air conditioner was the best. The other rooms were warmer, especially the main living area. Verses were comfy and plenty of towels and such. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil imaginable! My only suggestion Is to get a coffee maker with auto shutoff. All in all it was A+.
Spectacular
by George
5/5
To the entire team at Kona Coast Vacations,
We want to thank you for allowing us to keep our reservations through the pandemic as Ironman 2020 became 2021 and later 2022. This shows your true company integrity. It is great to know companies like yours still exist.
As for the house we stayed in at Akoa Place, it not only met but it exceeded our expectations. Every last detail had been thought out and that made it feel like we were staying at a true home. Lastly the view from the back yard was spectacular. We are missing it already. The owner's idea to add the endless pool was brilliant.
Super Property
by Colin
5/5
What a super property, set on the slopes above the coast just outside of Kona it was the perfect place for our group of 5 to spend 6 days exploring the beautiful island of Hawaii. It proved to be a relaxing haven for us to chill out after spending our days on the move to places of interest. The house, garden and pool are of the highest standard and basically we lacked for nothing during our stay.
Great Stay at Akoa Place!
by Bruce
5/5
We had a great stay at Akoa Place! After exploring the Island and enjoying some of the local establishments throughout our weeks stay, it was always a perfect place to end our day. Either in the pool, having a BBQ or just hanging out on the lanai having an appetizer and a beverage, the whole family got what they needed. Thank you for making your home available for our stay!
Loved Our Choice
by Julie
5/5
We took a family vacation to the Big Island and loved our choice for the rental home. There were a few minor things at check in and the management were quick to address the issues the best way they could. The home was spacious, well-equipped, clean and comfortable for our family. We used the concierge service to book our adventures and David was easy to work with. The location of the home to the activities, beaches, and shops was perfect, central to everything. Infinity pool was great way to relax and enjoy the tremendous view. We would happily stay here again in the future. The island was beautiful and the people were fantastic. Enjoy the Big Island of Hawaii!
Better than the Photos
by Edmond

Views are even better than the photos. Home is very livable with fully sized kitchen. Loved the cover porch which allowed for outdoor living regardless of weather. Flowers and Fruit trees throughout the property were a bonus.

Great house
by Mayra
5/5
We had a great time staying in Hawaii! The house was clean and well furnished! The pool was amazing and the house was exactly as displayed. All the lights were labeled which really helped seeing as there were so many! I loved that so many beach towels were stacked! Great house and super easy to get in contact with someone if you needed anything!
Beautiful water views and a lot of privacy
by Michael
5/5
Great house - unlike most rentals the pictures are exact representations of what to expect. Instructions were very clear from Kona Coast Vacations, from directions to entry instructions to check out instructions and communication. For the house we booked, Akoa Place, the lanai and pool are everything, with beautiful water views and a lot of privacy. The kitchen is large with nearly any utensil or gadget you could think of. The bedrooms are spacious and beds comfortable. This was the PERFECT home base for a busy trip with 6 people to come together at night to spend quality time together away from the bustle of a hotel. Will book Akoa place again when I decide to come back to the Big Island, and if it's unavailable I will trust Kona Coast Vacations to help me find something equally as awesome!

We absolutely love this property. Quiet, private location in gated community with outstanding view of the ocean. Spacious, clean and plenty of provisions as advertised. We spent 14 wonderful days watching the whales and dolphins poolside. We enjoyed working with Kona Coast Vacations and have reservations for the same property next year.
Impeccably Clean Luxury Home!
by John
5/5
Impeccably clean luxury home in gated community on a large lot surrounded by tropical landscape creating private 180 degree ocean view beyond the infinity pool. Incredible serenity with tropical bird orchestra throughout the day. No road noise and well separated from neighbors on cul-de-sac.
Beautiful Location!
by Stacy
5/5
This place had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. My 3 young boys enjoyed the pool for hours. The adults enjoyed the view of the water and the spacious lanai. The house had everything we needed and it was only a couple miles from town. Private beautiful location.

Place Was Fantastic!
by Norah
5/5
I'm picky about rentals and this place was fantastic. Clean, great location, fully stocked with an outstanding view of the ocean. The house is located at the top of the hill overlooking the other homes in a gated community. We did a lot of exploring but wish we had spent more time enjoying the house and pool. We didn't use one of the bedrooms because there weren't enough of us but the house is ideal for three couples. Highly recommend!
Beautiful and Spacious
by Audrey
5/5
This home was beautiful and spacious. The house came well equipped with dishes and cooking utensils. Also, it had beach towels for each of us. Since we flew in, we appreciated the initial stock of hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper. This home provided beautiful views. We loved enjoyed our morning coffee and dinner on the lanai. This home is located very close to downtown Kona (5 minute drive, if that). We would definitely rent this place again!
Beautiful and Functional
by April
5/5
The house was beautiful, functional, open, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was spacious, had everything we needed. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated, with great closet space, especially in the master. The second bedroom has a large sized attached restroom as well. The house was equipped with beach towels. The backyard is the star of the show! It is absolutely breathtaking! The infinity pool was stunning, warm, and so relaxing. The views from inside and outside of the house are breathtaking. Can't wait to return! Upon arrival, we had an issue with the keypad not working, so we called the owners, and it was immediately fixed within minutes. Highly recommend this place!
Enjoyed our stay!
by Gladys

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Akoa Place. Home is equipped with everything you need for home cook meals. Beaches recommended were accurately described. Will certainly return for the next trip to the Big Island.
Exceeded Our Expectations!
by Barbara
5/5
Our family of six celebrated my wife's 70th birthday here. It was a wonderful stay and great way to enjoy her birthday. The home is located near Kona and all it has to offer. After our married children left, we stay a few extra days to relax. We found just staying here and enjoying the views and pool was all we wanted to do. The home exceeded our expectations.
Highly Recommend!
by Matt
5/5
We highly recommend this house in Kona. The layout is good with the master on one side of the house and the 2 other bedrooms on the other. The master closet is so large you can easily put a pack-and-play or set up a small bed for a young kid in there. There was a pack-and-play in the closet when we got there along with a twinish sized folding floor mattress that would work great for a kid up to 10 or so. There were some beach chairs, an umbrella, some beat up snorkel gear and lots of pool floats/noodles as of 04/15-2021 FYI. The yard and the pool are great. Amazing views.

by Tracy

I have rented through VBRO 16 times including when it was called Home Away. I always get busy as soon as we come back and I forget to post reviews but this one was exceptional. The pictures are very accurate. It is a very beautiful home and you will hate departure day. David was awesome with communication before we even arrived. If you have small children the pool is locked off with glass doors that they cannot open. Loved it and we will be back soon.
Location is convenient

I love how all of this was handled. Besides a beautiful place and location, the gratis concierge service was especially nice and our concierge, David, handled all of our adventures. For personal reasons, this was an especially significant trip with my grown children and the trip far exceeded my expectations Every adventure was great including re-scheduling one of them. An absolutely fantastic vacation that I will never forget.
This house and the views were amazing!!
by Anne

We were two couples who have been friends for 50+ years. Our days were sightseeing/exploring or beach one day, then relaxing in the pool the next day. The Kona Coast staff were excellent and help with an air conditioning problem in one of the bedrooms. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to resolve the problem. I will, with high praise, recommend Kona Coast Vacations (and this house) to any friends planning a trip future trip to Kona. I know I will be repeating this vacation soon.

Great location and excellent views. Easy to work with property managers. They were very good at sending emails and updates. Dishwasher needs an upgrade since dishes were not clean after using.
Aloha! On behalf of the staff and management of Kona Coast Vacations, we very much appreciate you taking your valuable time to provide us with this very important feedback. Please be assured that your concern has been shared with our management team to be addressed. We appreciate you taking the time to share them with us.

We just loved this house! Plenty of room and stocked with everything we needed. Conveniently located to Kona and in a quiet neighborhood. Great for exploring or just staying in and spending time in the infinity pool enjoying the view. Check in was a breeze. Communication was superb - great concierge who helped with snorkeling and Luau reservations. Fully air conditioned. Even had a washer and dryer! My family and I hope to make it back again!! Thanks for a great stay!!

Gorgeous home overlooking ocean
by Kara
5/5
We loved our stay at this beautiful house. The rooms were spacious, the house was immaculate, and all the furnishings were comfortable. Air conditioning was available, but we only used it for an hour once or twice during our week-long stay - the breezes through the many windows kept the house very comfortable. We were three adults and two kids (ages 8 and 11), and everyone had plenty of space and comfy beds. The master suite (with its own entry to the lanai) was wonderful! The kitchen was stocked with tons of supplies, and of course we spent most of our time on the lanai enjoying the pool and the views. The only thing we would improve would be the outdoor grill - it needs replacing. Everything else was definitely 5+ stars, and I'd love to book here again on our returning trips to Kona. The folks at KonaCoast Vacations provided a concierge service and checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying the house during our stay. Many thanks to KonaCoast and to the home owners for making this beautiful property available for vacation renters.
Amazing views!
by Laurie
5/5
This house was absolutely perfect in every way for our first visit to the Big Island. The views and the pool were amazing, and we almost never wanted to leave. The kitchen is fully stocked (and very organized) with everything you ever would need. We also loved the location - only 5 minute drive to town, 20 minute drive to the airport, and close to many other attractions on the island. The management company, Kona Coast Vacations, were very helpful and accommodating.
A perfect place to relax and unwind!
by Jim
5/5
As frequent travelers, we have come to rely on the reviews of past guests to help us decide on our vacation spots…and the past reviews of this property were spot on. This was the best vacation we have taken in many years. We arrived to a spotless home, and I mean spotless! There wasn’t a smudge or piece of dust inside the home, and not a leaf or twig on the patio and in the pool. The one-acre property was perfectly manicured and there was an abundance of tropical flowers, giving me plenty of muse for landscape photographs. The neighborhood is quiet and private, yet so close to shopping and great food and cocktails. This huge home would be perfect for families or groups; however, it was also wonderful for just the two of us to sprawl out. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking in, and we used the outdoor BBQ almost every day. The living space was massive, and we enjoyed relaxing on the comfortable furniture after a long day of relaxing by the pool. THE POOL & PATIO!!! As others have mentioned, the pictures do not do it justice; the view was spectacular. The pool could have been a bit warmer, but we still were able to spend time enjoying the water most days later in the afternoon (even in March). This vacation was intended to help us relax and unwind, and it did just that. We will be back!
Beautiful home, very clean, great pool and location. We had a wonderful stay
by Scott
5/5
We thoroughly enjoyed our 10-day stay in this beautiful home. It has been well maintained and was spotless, and we had no issues during our stay beyond some minor issues lighting the bbq. The infinity pool is unheated, but was warm enough to be pleasant even in March. The neighborhood is quiet with good walking, with a decent walking and cycling route out the bottom of the neighborhood to get to Alii Drive. Our adult children appreciated having their own bedrooms and bathrooms, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is spacious, and we enjoyed family meals on the lanai with lots fresh fish on the bbq. We plan to return for another relaxing stay!
Very quiet and serene. 5 stars!
by Aubrey
5/5
Our family of 6 (plus an infant) rented the house for a week and found that it was just perfect for 6 adults. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the amazing views. The pool and outdoor area are so nice that we spent most of our time out there. The house is near to a busy road but you wouldn't know it.
Another great trip with and amazing home!!
by Leah
5/5
The initial impression of the property and home was an exquisite home with an amazing view. As we drove into the neighborhood you could begin to see the view offered and once at the home it was even greater. This was our third stay on the big island and we would stay at Akoa Place again. We had two issues during our stay that were quickly taken care of by Kona Coast Vacations. They were very accommodating which made for another pleasant experience. The home is as beautiful as the pictures represent but the views from the lanai and pool are even better. We did not miss a sunset if we were at the home. The neighborhood was quiet and in a great location to get to Ali’i by foot or drive down to Lava Java. Overall the home was more than we could have wanted and KCV did a great job! Would recommend both the home and KCV for anyone visiting the big island!!

House was absolutely perfect! Visited during the week of July 24th-31st 2018. I was worried about Vog issues due to the current eruption. Most of the time the views were amazing. There were times when the vog would roll in. Luckily we had more clear skies than not. My son has Asthma which is very controlled, but was still concerned prior to arriving. He didn't need his Inhaler once during the trip. The AC was amazing to have because some nights were extremely humid and I'm sure having the AC helped not aggravate his asthma. The only downside was the hot water didn't last very long which I guess isn't so bad as I wasn't wasting time just standing in the shower lol! This is a gated community and the neighborhood is beautiful and I felt very safe. Lots of privacy even in the open backyard. Pool and views were the highlights of the house. Love the high ceilings! It had everything we needed plus some for cooking. We didn't see any bugs what so ever inside of the house. Only one cute little lime green lizard which probably followed us inside at one point. Beds were very comfortable, even the couches in the living room were comfortable! Netflix worked great when we were just relaxing in the evenings. There we some beach chairs and an umbrella. Two boogie boards however one was not in good shape so only one was usable. Lots of stores close by like Walmart and Safeway. I would highly recommend this house.
Fabulous rental accommodation...views amazing!

Aloha! This home was absolutely perfect for our 10-day family vacation to The Big Island! We were able to explore just about the entire island; having Akoa Place as our home base made it all so convenient. I couldn’t imagine a lovelier home! Mahalo, Lawless Family Date of Stay: 1/2/18 to 1/12/18

Great view and spacious
by Karen
4/5
The rental was everything we needed--convenient to Kona, lots of space, a pool, and great view. The only drawback was the house did get a bit hot during the day without any A/C. The extra fans helped, but some nights it held the heat and it was a bit uncomfortable. Also, the outdoor furniture was cheap and uncomfortable. Date of Stay: 7/7/17 to 7/20/17
Wonderful and Relaxing...worth every penny!!

Very good and quite location and really nice inside. It has everything as promised in the add and is in some cases even better than in the pictures. Only small downside is that you have to be used to the temperature. No aircon but a lot of ceiling vans keep it relative cool. We can only recommend the place! Date of Stay: 10/6/17 to 10/21/17
Aloha! Paradise on the Big Island!

5/5
We enjoyed this beautiful property for 10 days! We wished we could have stayed forever. The house was spotless, comfortable and fully equipped with all amenities needed for a wonderful vacation. The tropical view of the ocean was enhanced by the beauty of the infinity pool. Each moment was a experience that is only available in paradise. The location was in close proximity to Kona, restaurants, shopping, farmers market, boating, snorkeling and so many other possibilities. I look forward to our next visit. I recommend this property for anyone who loves the Big Island! Mahalo Date of Review: Aug 3, 2017. Date of Stay: Jul 20, 2017 to Aug 1, 2017
A Fabulous Property to have the pleasure of staying at for 2 wks
by Alan
5/5
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property, from the gated entrance to the details of the house itself was wonderful. You pay a lot for this place (especially of there are only 2 of you) but the price is competitive and I cannot imagine a better place to stay on the Big Island. A definite step up from Keahou Estates which I have rented houses in a few times in the past. Date of Review: Jan 23, 2017. Date of Stay: Jan 7, 2017 to Jan 21, 2017

Perfect everything!

Awesome house, fantastic view of the ocean from the pool,the lanai, bedroom and kitchen. Outside of the Main Street of Kona in a very very private setting. But yet still close enough, just minutes from all you need. The pictures tell the whole story and it's much better in person. We loved it and looking forward to the next time! Don't think we could of found a house that better fit all we were looking for!
Unbelievable
by Charles
5/5
Everything was as per pictures,explanations & expectations! The home was well kept and maintained. The kitchen was the best stocked I have ever seen. We spent all waking hours in the home on the lani. The pool was used daily after the beach and after a late dinner. The view was breathtaking and added to the wonderful cocktails and dinners we had nightly. So well thought out for the people renting. There were quite a few nightly bugs that visited us. But this is a tropical climate and should be expected.
Great place for a family holiday
by Penne
5/5
The house was fantastic. The pool and view are amazing it makes the house so much fun. We found the kitchen to be more than adequate with every appliance you could imagine. The bedrooms where all well sized and every bathroom has a bath. The only down side is no air conditioning, it was very hot in the house and after being locked up due to a full day or touring it was hard to cool down. There was a baby crib and high chair also. It would be nice to have a clothes airing rack to dry off the washing and also some beach chairs.
We would definitely stay there again it was such a great place, we highly recommend it!
