vrKCV - GMH at Keauhou Estates 9, Professionally Managed by Kona Coast Vacations

Imagine a warm, welcoming place where families and friends can feel a sense of peace, and share in the wonderment of seeing the blue Pacific Ocean stretch out, uninterrupted, from south to west to north. The pictures don't lie: you have probably never been in a private home with views like these, and they are yours to enjoy from the pool, the spa, the den, both dining areas, the bedrooms, the lanais… you get the idea. Lots of glass here: it's floor to ceiling in most of the house. Connoisseurs of eye candy, fanatics for light and space, welcome! You're home.
The property is surrounded by gorgeous tropical vegetation (see photos), lovingly tended since 1992 by one of the Big Island's most renowned landscapers, Dwayne Richmond. There aren't many better ways to start a day than having your coffee on one of the garden benches, surrounded by Dwayne's handiwork. (The vegetation isn't just pleasing to the eye; it also provides privacy, and a lot of it.) If it's raining, or if you just want a different perspective, sip your java while taking in the amazing treehouse view from the upstairs lanais- it's awesome.
To minimize GMH's carbon footprint, most of our electricity comes from the PV panels on the roof. Power is stored in an Enphase battery array- the first in the state of Hawaii. There's never an extra fee for using the air conditioning at GMH.
Each of the four bedrooms has its own private bathroom, independent air conditioning, ceiling fan, king size bed, and high def t.v. There is a Jacuzzi in the north upstairs bathroom.
Go ahead and revel in the privacy that is one of GMH's trademarks, but don't worry about feeling too isolated. The common area of the house is basically one big, open room, cooled by breeze or AC, which looks out on the Pacific. Here, you and your family and friends feel connected to the ocean and the sky, and to each other.
The pool (70 feet long) and spa both face the ocean: same incredible view you have from the inside, only now there's sky over your head. Sitting in the spa with loved ones, beverage in hand, watching the sun drop into the Pacific… don't be surprised if you get a little teary. I know I do.
Convenience comes with the territory at GMH. Keauhou Shopping Center, with its supermarket, drug store, good restaurants, shops, and urgent care clinic is four minutes away. It's 15 minutes to the town of Kailua-Kona, with its many attractions. Great snorkeling and surfing lessons are six minutes away at Kahalu'u Beach Park. It's nine minutes to beautiful La'aloa (White Sands) Beach. Various famous coffee plantations are 20 minutes away. Excellent walking (with spectacular views, of course) is right outside the front door on the immaculate sidewalks and streets of gorgeous Keauhou Estates.
Finally, for those of you who plan to use GMH as a home base for longer excursions, your host would like to provide you with some templates for full-day and half-day trips from the house. These are only suggestions, made available just in case you suffer from the “so many destinations, so little time” syndrome, and are feeling a bit overwhelmed. If you have an interest, please remember to ask for the booklet called “Rob's Road Trips, Restaurants, and Snorkel Spots” when you reserve the property.
This is a home worthy of its magnificent surroundings, where memories to last a lifetime are created. It would be an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to this place, which means so much to me.

Your host,
Rob

Comfortable home with an incredible view
Our family of 8, ages 8-75 yo, had an incredible stay at this home. Very well stocked and comfortable with a view that cannot be beat. The bedrooms are all en suite and it was truly the perfect house for us. Waking up to that view and going to bed every night after watching the sunset is something that we will all always remember!

Paradise Stay
Aloha! We had an Amazing trip to the Big Island and this VRBO was Fabulous!! The view is breathtaking. The house is amazing! We were close to grocery stores, eateries, art galleries and more! The Island has so much to do! Rent a jeep and go see the green beach. The black beach was amazing too! The Host of this house was amazing from his recommendations to the art work on all of the walls, to the amenities. This is a must stay vacation spot. I’m home now and I miss this place already! Have a wonderful vacation!

Outstanding property with great views. Very nice pool and a functioning hot tub were used daily. In addition to being a beautiful place, it was clean, and had all the little things needed to make your stay easy and enjoyable. Kona Coast Vacations provided excellent details about getting into the property and did regular follow-ups to ensure our trip was going as planned. Will definitely utilize them again on our next trip to Hawaii

A Heavenly Hawaiian Retreat
Our recent stay in a remarkable Hawaiian property was an absolute dream. Tucked away in a secure neighborhood, this vacation home was a perfect sanctuary for our group of four couples. With breathtaking views and a stunning pool, it provided an unforgettable experience. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the mesmerizing vistas. Perched atop a hill, we were treated to panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and lush surroundings. Each sunset painted the sky with vibrant colors, reflecting beautifully in the azure waters. Waking up to such natural beauty was a true blessing. The house itself exuded comfort and luxury. With its spacious layout, we had both privacy and ample space to spend quality time together. The bedrooms were elegant havens for relaxation. The house is just south Kailua-Kona and convenient to Keahou shopping center. The property management team was communicative and helped prepare us for a wonderful vacation but also very non-intrusive. They did a a great job of making our stay enjoyable.

Amazing location and views. Home is a bit outdated and needs to be updated. Cleaning is done poorly but it’s Hawaii and their standard of clean is a bit different so we understand, sticky floors and counters and can’t walk barefoot because you will need pedicure the next day ☺️. Over all it was great!

Perfect Hawaiian Getaway!
We had the best stay at this property! The views throughout the home are second to none. It is the perfect place to lounge around the pool, with loungers, chairs and pool floaties available. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils/appliances. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed our daily morning walks. It is about 15 away from Kona, however, there is a supermarket and some shops & restaurants that are even closer and more convenient. Management was very responsive - we had trouble with the AC units and a technician was sent the next morning. We absolutely loved this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat! We are already jealous of its next tenants :)

Perfect for both privacy & togetherness
We loved the separate areas for plenty of privacy along with the large kitchen, living room & dining room in the center for gathering all together. Even the outside area allows for space but togetherness. We all had a great time swimming & playing corn hole. There are views from almost every room in this home. I loved watching the sunset while making my evening cocktail at the wet bar in the upstairs bedroom. There is a coffee pot upstairs also which allows for a little wake up time out on your own balcony before joining the group downstairs. Kona Coast Vacations did a really good job of accommodating us & checking in to be sure that our stay was enjoyable. We all had a wonderful stay & will definitely be returning.

Amazing property
This house was amazing and the neighborhood was beautiful! The actual property is better than the pictures. They don't capture the full extent of the amazing views and some are outdated since some furniture and appliances have been replaced. Overall it's a great house for family and friends to gather. The layout gives a lot of privacy for the bedrooms but allows everyone to be together in the main part of the house. There are a lot of pool floats and beach/snorkel gear available to use in the garage. The only downside that I didn't see mentioned much in other reviews is the steep, narrow, curved driveway. There's limited space to turn around and street parking isn't allowed, so parking is challenging for 2-3 cars.

SPECTACULAR KONA SUNSET
What a Wonderful Kona property. Spacious, clean, oh so comfortable. My family could not stay out of the large (wide) swimming pool that stretched across the back side of the property. The wall to ceiling slide glass doors brought in the cooling trade winds. Air conditioning was on order when it became too hot. The complete gourmet kitchen had everything you would need. Even 2 coffee pots. Thank you to Kona Coast Vacations for providing some delicious Kona coffee. (we even drove to the coffee company to buy more). The Weber grill came in handy so we didn't have to venture out for most dinners (my son in-law is a great BBQ master). The large dinning room was more than enough room for the 6 of us with 2 toddlers. It could have seated 12 people. The bedrooms were large and spacious and with king size beds. The platform beds were clean and comfortable. One master suite it's own wet bar. The property had everything you need. Right down to the soap and shampoo. Unfortunately, one bathtub/shower had a slow drain. I pulled out a big wad of hair and that was that took care of it. Be careful of the steep curved driveway. It's a little tough to navigate with a large SUV. There is no street parking.

Very disappointing response by management
If you don't require hot water in your vacation rentals THIS is the property for you! The property management company did have the Problem fixed - AFTER FIVE DAYS! For this major inconvenience we were refunded one-half of one nights stay and we were directed to reread the rental contract when we said we were unsatified with the refund amount. Less of an issue but still VERY annoying is that none of the photos show the giant hose you are required to leave floating in the pool during your stay as this is the only filtration system for the pool. It still doesn't get clean; so be prepared to scoop out all the bugs and frogs that will greet you in the morning. This property is great if you like icy showers and a dirty pool at a premium price.
