Amazing Home in Kona!
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We recently spent 9 days at Komohana and it was fabulous! Usually we stay in an moderately upscale hotel or condo, but after staying here . . . we're totally spoiled. The best part . . . probably the huge lanai on the front of the house that has a n amazing panaromic view of the Pacific Ocean, where we'd eat every meal and watch fishing boats and cruise ships go by and be cooled by the tradewinds. . .or maybe the very private pool where we'd hop in to cool off or sun bath on an air mattress . . or the beautifully remodeled kitchen that's HUGE or the great location where we'd walk every morning to the beach and along Alii Drive and stop at the Farmers Market for fresh fruit. And did I mention how much fun we had with the Karoki? The house has four bedrooms upstairs and each one is very comfortable and nicely furnished and then there's the whole downstairs with even more beds and a bathroom. And for those of us who just can't leave work or our laptops at home . . . the wireless worked great! :-) The house is in perfect condition and looks like something from a magazine -- we had so much fun pretending we actually lived there! The house is just minutes (literally) from Kona shopping including Wal-Mart, Target, Ross and fast food as well as the fun shops and resturants along Alii. If you're looking for a relaxing and memorable place to stay in Kona -- Komohana has it all! Highly recommend it!
BRUCE'S HALE IS THE BOMB!!!

My whole family enjoyed every minute of the house. The kids especially loved, loved, loved the pool and all the toys that came with it. We can't wait to have another opportunity to stay there again. We also cooked up a storm in the kitchen and was very thankful that it is right by the pool area so that we could watch the kids swim while we cooked. Even if we already live on the island it was still a treat for us to stay in this big, beautiful home.
We'd like to thank Bruce and his family for allowing us to stay at the Komohana home as it was quite a blessing to my family and I. Plenty Mahalo from our family to yours.
If anyone ever needs a place to stay, call Bruce. You will not be disappointed!!

First of all I would like to thank Bruce for opening his home for my family. I am from the island and needed to find a place for my family that has traveled in from the mainland. I have searched all over for vacation rentals from condos to homes. I went back and forth weighing my options from bedding, swimming pool, kitchen supplies and activites for kids so they won't get bored. I cannot believe how stock the home is. When you do stay in this home you would be amazed. Most of all, your home is centrally located to shopping, dining and beaches. I highly recommend your home for any family and friends travelling to get away. My family loved that they could be with eachother and catch up with lost times. At the end of that trip it was a sad moment for everyone to say their goodbyes.
You would need to experience it to believe it.
Thank you again Bruce!!!

Wow! Loved everything about this place! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all the facilities provided. It was perfect for our family of 15 and was comfortable, relaxing and had fantastic views! We'll be back. Mahalo.
Wedding in Kona

Our son David and his fiancee Chantelle decided to get marry in beautiful Kona. We had to find a place to stay with family and friends coming from California and Texas. Fortunately we found your house and were able to use it not only to host or visitors visitors, but also to host the wedding reception.
Our week in the house was very enjoyable and comfortable. We had everything we needed, the house was clean and in perfect condition. Bruce provided good costumer service and took care of our every need. The house is perfectly located near attractions, supermarkets, stores and beautiful beach areas.
The wedding reception was a success. One hundred guest enjoyed the house amenities and the yard.
We would love to recommend this house to anyone who wishes to have an unforgettable vacation.

My sons basketball team stayed at Komohana House while we were in Kona from Oahu for a basketball tournament. The house was BEAUTIFUL! The check in was easy, the property managers were awesome, the location was perfect. The accomodations were amazing! our kids didn't know where to start between the pool, the video games, the basketball hoop, the loved it all! Komohana House has everything you need! coolers, beach supplies, a grill, everything! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, we will definitely be back.

Komohana - Kailua-Kona luxury vacation home

We found the property on VRBO.com, listings of vacation rentals by owner. Finding room for 14 people anywhere is tough, but the property description was exactly what we were looking for, and turned out to be 100% accurate. The video was especially helpful in our decision-making. The location (3 mi S of Kailua, 10 mi S of the airport) was better than we had hoped, and the instructions from the owner on getting there, checking in an checking out, were great. As B&B owners, my wife and I are a little picky, but Komohana exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, there were more amenities than we expected, the owner's rep was terrifically helpful in all respects, and the price is RIGHT. We had 5 from Australia and 9 from CA, and I unconditionally recommend this property to anyone. One of the advantages is the ability to cook for yourselves, because the restaurants are a little pricey. We did everything (swimming with the mantas, golf, kayaking, plantation tours, history, shopping, sightseeing to Hilo and Kilauea) and loved it all. Believe me, you'll love it, too.

House was lovely , spacious and comfortable. KITCHEN TO BE REMODELED AND THEN IT WILL BE FANTASTIC.
Not having the lower level connect inside the house was a deterrent but manageable.

A bunch of us flew to Kona from around the country for a wedding and couldn't believe our luck when we walked in the front door! The living room was HUGE and the newly remodeled kitchen was perfectly situatated in between the common areas and the pool, and the view was unbelieveable. Everyone had a comfortable bed, clean sheets, and lots of room to roam without stepping on anyones toes. You really don't have to bring anything to this home, especially if you are coming with kids. There are floaties and beach balls for the pool, boogie boards and snorkels for the ocean, and ping pong and bocce ball if you're looking for something to do around the house. I think that if the Olympics didn't start at the end of the week, we never would have even turned the t.v. on! Two of the best features about the house, though, were the location (a few minutes to downtown, a short drive to Costco, Wal Mat, Longs, & Safeway) and dealing with the owner, Bruce. He's is very easy to deal, super nice, and goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect so you don't have to. I highly, highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone with a group of 10 or more. I just don't think it can be beat!
Great rental home for family and friends!

We stayed in this beautiful home for 2 weeks over the New Year's holiday. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The home easily accomodates large groups. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning and would spot whales out in the ocean (binoculars were provided). The yard surrounding the house is very well maintained and beautiful with lots of grass, flowers, and trees. BBQ dinners around the pool in the evenings were also a highlight. The pool is very clean and well maintained. The home is well equipped with lawn chairs, tables and umbrellas so you can enjoy time around the swimming pool. Each day we would head off to the beach and use the beach chairs, coolers, and snorkle equipment that was provided with the house rental. Towels and beach bags were also available at the house. I would highly recommend this home to families or large parties of friends and relatives. Bruce (the owner) is so easy to work with and very accomodating. We all enjoyed our stay there--we were a party of 10--family and close friends. We enjoyed the few meals where we ate out, but the best times were preparing meals at the house, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful ammeneties that were provided. The photos of the home and the video tour are completely accurate and give you a great idea of what you will see when you get there. If you rent the lower level with the upper level you also gain extra privacy for guests who are staying in the lower level. It would be a great place to put families with young children as it would give them a quiet place, and give the guests on the main floor some privacy as well. I would rent this property again--and recommend it to any of my friends who might be traveling to the Big Island!
