Great house

We loved staying in this home. The layout was nice and open. We spent most of our time on the back patio which had lots of seating. Loved having the shallow pool to gather in. Kitchen was large and well stocked with a separate coffee/bar area. Master bed/bath was amazing with a nice closet. I appreciate that the owners were generous with the general necessities of trash bags, dishwasher pods and tp. My only complaint was with management company. We were trying to arrange for a late check out and were willing to pay, but they would not get back to us. Left 3 messages, a text, then finally I got ahold of them the day of check out and they promised to get back to us but no one did. We gave up and just checked out at 10am as we were suppose to. Just wished they would have communicated. This doesn't reflect on the house though. Our stay was great and no complaints at all about the house!

Great House but Not Exactly with a Pool

This house is located close to Kailua-Kona, is very spacious, and has clean/minimalistic decor. To say it has a pool is deceiving, as the pool is very shallow (water up to my knee and I’m only 5 ft tall) and very small. It’s impossible to swim in the pool. So the “pool” only exists as a decoration. The master bath is enormous, too big actually, while the other adjacent shared bath is too small for use by 2-3 persons. The house is so big with little fabric decors so sound and noise echo. While there are plenty of water toys, there are only two beach chairs, for a house that sleeps at least 7. Lastly, I think it would be nice to have a sofa chair in the master bedroom given the space.
