Amazing location and looks even better in person than in the pictures. Perfect for a family or large group. So spacious and amazing outdoor area for lounging. The Gather team was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. We don’t have a single complaint.
Amazing property at an ideal location.
Our stay at the Papala Place was wonderful. The property was so inviting and spacious.
Our family group had an excellent stay at this fabulous property. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood that is extremely peaceful. The house is beautifully decorated and in excellent condition and the garden, pool and hot tub complement the many facilities in the home itself. The spacious interior offers so many areas in which to hang out and relax, taking in the lovely views of the sunset and the Pacific Ocean. The house is well-equipped and everything is extremely well-maintained. The home is also well within walking distance of Kailua-Kona, being approx. 2 miles up the road. Access to Ali'i Drive is via a pedestrian gate (with keycode) and, once on that road, the walk into Kona is scenic and enjoyable, passing the many waterfront properties and beaches along the way. In all, we were super impressed by both the property and the host. I highly recommend booking this property for your stay on Big Island.
This is a truly superb property and although it was just me and my partner, this house is large enough to accommodate a family of 8-10.The house was immaculate, the grounds were lush and beautiful, the patio and pool were perfect with plenty of lounge chairs, tables, and couches for all the comfort you could desire. The house is a tue stunner with lots of rooms, hallways and common areas to make it feel spacious and private. The location from Kona is only a 5 minute drive but the house is tucked away in a gated oasis that makes it feel private and secure. One of the finest luxury rentals we have stayed in!
