This home is everything it is represented to be. We found it to be perfect for our extended family with its two master suites at opposite ends of the home, and the spacious kitchen and lanai, making cooking and eating together a delight. For a large family, it was great to be within walking distance to the supermarket, drug store, and Urgent Care, as well as the Sheraton for morning coffee or other special treats. The pool is perfect for younger children just learning to swim with its 4-ft. plus uniform depth. A private, tropical feel is created by the attractive landscaping. Best of all, is the warm ALOHA provided by the owner!! You, too, will want to return.

We enjoyed staying here so much, we are already planning a return trip. As other reviewers have noted, the photographs do not do the house justice. The home is not only well decorated (think Architectural Digest beach house), the rooms are large and comfortable and flooded with light. Indeed, my only criticism, being a light sleeper sensitive to light, is that the bedrooms could use blackout shades or curtains on the windows, including on the skylights, so the street lamps and the sun don't wake you too early. (Okay, the knives also needed a good sharpening and some of the pots and pans could stand to be replaced, but that is a minor complaint, and we wouldn't have known or minded except we did a lot of cooking.) Other pluses: the house is in a nice neighborhood, very residential and quiet, though you could walk to a supermarket and drugstore and two farmers markets, as well as a little beach. And Ed, one of the owners, was always available to answer questions, which we greatly appreciated. All in all, we had a great time and look forward to returning.

I planned what I hoped would be a very special family celebration - 3 generations (5 adults, and our grandsons 3-1/2 & 6-1/2) to mark these family milestones. Our time on the big island was magical, and it all began well when we met Ed & George upon arrival...their warmth, their beautiful and well-equipped home, their welcoming gift of avocados & papaya from their farm set the tone for a beautiful 10 day stay that we will treasure always. As some others have written, the house was even more charming & spacious than I had surmised from the photos. I love & am picky about design & was delighted that there was no schlocky artwork or furnishings to contend with. They all contributed to the home's wonderful sense of light, spaciousness & cleanliness.

We had most of our meals at home & had such fun cooking together, dining on the screened lanai, serenaded by the gorgeous tropical birds, surrounded by lush landscape. Every day we planned a new excursion & the home's location was ideal for plans near & far, and usually returned in time to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets from the deck.

We had such a memorable stay & Mahalo Ed & George; actually the magic began during the planning stage by your warmth & patience with my many questions. I felt as if you were a fellow conspirator, working with me to create our marvelous family trip. Thank you once again! We will treasure the memories.

We picked this vacation house since it seemed nice in the reviews we read. We were not disappointed. Ed and George were there to greet us despite the fact the we arrived Thanksgiving Day evening and made us feel at home from the start. The house was perfect, lots of space, well equipped and very clean throughout. The location is very nice in a residential area and we felt very much at home and relaxed throughout our stay. Close to shopping and some tourist attractions. Only downside was we had a few cool nights and cloudy afternoons and the pool got a little cool and the mosquitoes were a little pesky in the evening. Nevertheless, we could have stayed there much longer and we certainly look forward to booking our next trip to Ed and George's place in the future. Mahalo Ed & George

This home was everything as described and more. It was such a wonderful home with a great location. We were a party of 6 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone. Ed met us there on our arrival and showed us around and even brought some of his avocados. Ed was just a pleasure to deal with. We did have to evacuate the area for about 5 hours the first night due to a Tsunami warning, but were in contact with Ed on what to do and where to go. An experience we did not expect, but looking back we can laugh since there was no actual Tsunami. The sunsets from the deck were awesome. We didn’t spend much of the day at the house since we ventured out, but spent all 7 nights cooking (great kitchen and grill area), sitting by the pool, or just relaxing listening to Hawaiian music. I highly recommend this house and would return there if given the opportunity. Mahalo Ed.

This is a fabulous place for your next Kona vacation. It is tucked away on a quiet street close to amazing Keauhou Bay and walking distance to the grocery store. The house is much bigger than it looks online and is beautifully furnished. I booked this again for next year the day I got home!

We had a wonderful time at this property. There were six of us, four stayed a week, and two were there for only three days, but we all had a wonderful time. The house was exactly as portrayed in the pictures and we all enjoyed long walks in the area. The landscaping is truly beautiful. The house is large enough that each of us could find a place to read or be by ourselves but cozy enough to feel like home. Ed was a great source of information on places to go and things to do. His recommendation of Don the Beachcombers yielded two great casual dinners at the bar and a final Aloha Hawaii dinner at sunset in the restaurant. The home is located within walking distance of a large supermarket and an urgent care facility which we ended up having to use. We had a great time sitting on the pool deck watching the geckos play. If we every get the opportunity, we would happily rent this property again. Mahalo, Ed and George!

Aloha ,
Ed and George were perfect charming hosts. This house was exactly as stated and more. We loved the outdoor spaces and spent most of our evenings playing cards or reading on the lanai. We had plenty of space for 3 teenagers and mom and dad. Kitchen was well-equipped and clean. Ed and George even traded some of my famous strawberry jam for their honey. We had a fierce (but quick) thunderstorm one night and Ed and George were over the next AM to check on things. The location was great, especially with the grocery store up the road. (3 teenagers!) We traveled all over the island and appreciated the range of ecosystems on the island. Something for everyone. We walked on the golf course almost every AM-early and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. We will definitely be back! Mahalo!
