Thank you for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your families had an unforgettable spring break at our house.

We always strive to be responsive to our guests’ needs and we are glad that we could assist you while extending your check-out time. We take pride in being a great base for exploring Kona and the surrounding area and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Absolutely beautiful, spacious home with gorgeous views in an ipscale neighborhood. We spent our mornings and evenings overlooking the ocean and enjoying the soft breezes and the enjoyable sounds of the Coqui frogs from the Lanai. Spent downtime when we weren't touring in the swimming pool. Very close to all the shops, tour locations and restaurants on Ali'i. Highly recommend this place, but maybe not during spring break when the price doubles. I would gladly stay here again. Recommendation: grab some paper plates, plastic wear and storage bags for leftover foods. we had 8 people and were running the dishwasher a lot.

We are thrilled to hear that our home exceeded your expectations, and that you enjoyed the beautiful views and peaceful sounds of the Coqui frogs from the Lanai.

We hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic stay!
Thus property us absolutely fantastic! Enjoyed everything! The only thing I would mention is the shower doors in master bath do not open wide enough for a large person like myself! I did make it work though! Everything else excellent!
Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to write a review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your accommodations and also appreciated the constructive feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Amazing views and spacious house!
by Minee RAmazing views and spacious house! There was more than enough space for everyone and it was stocked with everything we could need. Check in was easy and house was clean and just as described. One thing to be aware of is the extremely steep driveway, it can get slippery when it rains!
We really enjoyed our time!
by LaChanda BWe really enjoyed our time! Elite Pacific was easy to communicate with and very accommodating with us during our early check in and late check out. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and spacious for our family of 7. The pool was cleaned throughout our time there too. The view from the balcony is breathtaking!!! Would recommend this sopt and company to anyone. They also connected us with Hawaii Concierge services and we had activitylies scheduled weeks before our vacation.
Great Home For Families
by David BThe house was equipped with everything needed during our stay. Very spacious and roomy. The views are amazing! The only complaint from some family members, we're from those who stayed in bedrooms that did not have an in-wall AC unit. Management was nice, and were quick to resolve the minor issues we had during our stay. Overall, GREAT property. Definitely recommend for big families.
My family and I were blown away by this home!
by Tina BMy family and I were blown away by this home! Everything was perfect! The home had everything you could possibly need! The host thought about everything! You don’t have to worry about getting in late and running to the store for essential items, everything is there! The home was clean, the location was great, the views were phenomenal! I just can’t say enough about this home! We will never forget this vacation thanks to this fantastic home!
Can’t beat the view and location! Made some great memories with our family here.
by Kelly KYou would be silly not to book this place
by Brittney BYou would be silly not to book this place. We stayed for a week with a large group made up of multiple families. The set up of the home is great for large groups. The yard and pool area is amazing and made several amazing memories for our group. The central location of the home is hard to beat and the sunsets from this deck will take your breath away!
Highly recommend for families looking to relax and enjoy Hawaii.
by Ron MFabulous for our large group
by Stephanie BFabulous for our large group. Location, view & all the amenities were perfect! Would definitely rent again.
We had a great experience at this property and with Elite Pacific
by Nora BWe had a great experience at this property and with Elite Pacific. They were professional and easy to deal with and the place is just wonderful. View is incredible, location convenient, and the kids loved the pool. It was nice to have pool toys available so they could hop right in and play. Highly recommend this property.
Would definitely stay again!
by Sarah FGreat house, incredibly clean, layout is awesome, plenty of room for a family to spread out, close to everything. Would definitely stay again!
Really great place overall! I loved the location very close to everything- very quiet neighborhood so sleeping was never an issue! Loved the place overall!
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this home! The view is SPECTACULAR and everything was to our liking. The location is also great and close to town. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating! Definitely recommend staying here!
Hawaii Wedding Vacation
by Melissa ZWe absolutely loved our stay at the Honu O Kai! What a beautiful view! We were in the area for our daughter’s wedding so we really didn't spend as much time at the house as we'd liked to have, but the time there was always relaxing. It was very nice to take a dip in the pool after a long day of wedding activities. We appreciated the items made available to us during our stay including an ice chest, sand toys and beach chairs to name a few. Next time we're in the area, we'd love to stay at the Honu O Kai again.
Perfect space for a large family
by Bobbi MThis was the perfecgt space for our famiy for a week. Seven adults, lots of privacy and places to either be together or if someone needed privacy, there were many options. 4 large bedrooms, 3 baths. Master suite is lovely with wonderful views. The pool was great to return to each afternoon after the beach or site seeing. I think I counted 13 ceiing fans to help keep the air moving! Large living room and dining area. Kitchen allowed multiple "cooks" to all be working at the same time. Lots of pool and beach toys in the garage and a large washer and dryer.
Awesome location and amazing views. The property was super clean and provide so many amenities. Would stay here again
Loved everything about this house, very spacious, great location and amazing views! Definitely recommend.
This property was awesome! The view was amazing of the ocean and Kona below. The pool was enjoyed by our whole family. My 3 year old grandson said it was the best part of the trip. Lots of pool toys are available in the garage. We all had a lot of room to spread out in the common spaces. The space behind the house has tropical land which has wild turkeys and other birds. Lots of gekkos and frogs can be found around the yard. The location was a short drive to downtown restaurants, local beaches, Kona marketplaces and stores like Target, Walmart and Costco. This was such a perfect vacation stay. We would definately rent this property again if we come back to Hawaii.
The view was magnificent! The house was stocked well with all the beach going items (chairs, masks, flippers, boogie boards) and a great selection of pool toys. The pool was a highlight and such a great way to come home and cool off as the house wasn’t air conditioned except two bedrooms.
Great house!
by Nicole Ssuper nice house, great view! unfortunately during our stay, there was construction in the neighborhood so only got some peaceful non construction noise in evenings and on the weekend days. The house is in a very good location, very convenient to most things. Lots of stuff in garage (tubes,rafts,fins,coolers, etc). A few more pillows in master bedroom with pillowcases would be nice. We found a couple extra pillows but no linens for them and there is a window a/c unit in 2 of the bedrooms but the other bedrooms didn't have and it would get pretty warm during the day, and main living area/kitchen would get very hot as well. House def needs more fans and that would've helped a lot. The pool was awesome and loved having the bar area w/fridge off the pool area for drinks etc.
Great stay
by Elaine MThe house was comfortable for my family. Enjoyed the pool and the views!
Amazing house!!
by Theresa CWe truly loved the house! Gorgeous view, away from all the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything. Anything you need is at the property. Regular coffee pot, hair dryers, pool toys, beach towels and toys. We would definitely recommend it again and again! We had a group of 9 and there was plenty of space for everyone, including air mattresses if needed.
Million dollar Views
by Mai ia DWe enjoyed our stay very much! The sunsets were breathtaking every day. The home was equipped with everything we needed from plenty of beach towels to kitchen supplies. The gifted Kona coffee ensured we all left with a new love of the coffee from this area. The home was clean and spacious. There were 8 of us and we never felt like we needed any more room. We had an issue with the fire alarms and the property manager was over right away to help fix the issue. The pool was a welcomed treat every night. Can't wait to come back!
Beautiful Setting
by Bob SWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house in Holualoa. The view from the decks were stunning. Every night we gathered to watch the sun set and every morning we enjoyed the quietness of watching the ocean become alive with boats and people. Our only disappointment was that we had to leave.
Great place to stay. Everything close by.
by Swaminathan BThe house was more than we expected! There were 10 of us and all slept comfortably. It was equipped with everything you needed! My whole family wished we would have booked it longer! Amazing home! Especially the view!
Week in Kona
by Fred WOften times rental pictures don’t live up to the reality. This place was bigger and better than we imagined. A very nice surprise indeed. It was excellent! Worth the money
Another Day In Paradise
by AnonymousWe had such a wonderful time staying at this property. The view was beautiful and the house was big and accommodated our needs. The swimming pool was a used all the time. We had a great time. If you are a coffee drinker make sure you bring your own coffee, other than that everything was stocked and available. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!! We will definitely stay here again!
We just stayed at this property with our family which consisted of 8 adults (4 couples) and 1 baby. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It’s a huge house with plenty of space for everyone. Just a heads up that the house does not have A/C throughout, only in 2 bedrooms, but it was fine for us. You get the nice island breeze with all the windows and doors open. It even felt a tad cool at night. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs because there are frogs that whistle pretty much all night. The kitchen is well stocked with pot and pans, small appliances, dishes, and utensils. There are 2 fridges which was helpful. There are tons of pool and beach stuff in the garage. The pool is great. You have an amazing view of Kailua-Kona. We would stay here again.
Beautiful and spacious home that accommodated our family of 7. So clean and spacious and we were all very comfortable! We also enjoyed the heated pool some while staying. The view of the Pacific is worth staying there alone honestly, the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever seen! The neighbors have a few huskeys, that barked to warn their owners of company from time to time but it didn’t bother us. Very happy guests here!
The house is beautiful!
