This house is gorgeous. I would have loved to have seen it in its prime. The house is so nice that the minor negatives really show.

On stepping through the door, the first thing that I noticed were scratches on the floor. The hardwood floor was magnificent, but the scratches really stood out. Theses scratches have been caused by people moving furniture. My guess is that non-family types have been renting this house, riding it hard and putting it away wet. Similarly, in the kitchen, the white range, refrigerator and sink all have visible scratches. These could easily be touched up with bathtub porcelain repair paint. There were also small paint scratches on walls that could be easily touched up. The toilet seat in the master bedroom was visibly warn and discoloured. Many stains are carpets.

It the totality of the circumstatnces, these defects are miniscule. The issue it that the property is so nice that the minor issues do stand out.

The house has a great layout. Lots of space both inside and on the lanai. The pool area is great as well. The only negative being that it was unheated. Air temperatures were in the low 80's as was the pool. You had to be hot to go in (January). We could not find any lighting in the pool area. It would have been nice to use at night. I did find at a later time, underwater lights in the pool but no one could tell me how to turn them on. There were some pool and beach toys & chairs. Two masks, both broken.

The house is not air conditioned. Generally there is a nice breeze. As long as the house is opened up, it is well ventilated. There was one night that was very still that we wished that there was AC.

For such a large property, the propane grill was quite small. It worked, but had the typical hot/cold spots. I wouldn't have put good steaks on it as they would have been difficult to cook.

The property was very clean.

I would stay here again. There are many small things that don

Big island vacation. The location of the house was great, but you need a car. The property is beautiful with amazing sunsets and views for days! The pool is great and pool deck gets a nice amount of sun. The house could use some work. The kitchen is decently equipped but the knives are dull, broken and pretty cheap. The patio screen doors fall off the track a lot and need to be replaced as they are patched together. The ceiling fans all need to be replace as they are loud and don’t move much air anymore. The patio furniture consists of two chairs two side tables and two dining tables. It would be nice to have a place for 4-6 people to sit comfortably and enjoy the great sunset/ views! The carpet in the house has to be replaced as it has lots of stains and is kinda gross. The home had lots of great beach toys and chairs to use. Knutson was easy to work with and I would rent a property form them again, all in all it was a great vacation. I know this review looks bad but it’s not, just need to put a few $$ into the property to make it more in its price point. Enjoy the big island, it was great!

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback. We have touched base with the owner to address these items. The screen doors are being replaced as well. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the house and the sunsets on the lanai.

The home was the perfect size for our family. The pool was a great place to unwind after a day at the beach. The balcony was spacious with an amazing view. The house had lots of stairs with one set of stairs being a bit unsafe. The house was not air conditioned which for the most part was ok but one of the bedrooms did not cool down like the reddy of the house. The location was close to stores which was nice

Family trip to hawaii. The pool was a great size and the landscape kept it private. My 7 year old was fine in the shallow end and gets to about 5 1/2 ft deep. Toys and beach chairs were there. Only a short drive to magic sand beach. The house was spacious and the deck was perfect. The view was nice allowing amazing sunsets.

Overall the house was as described. It has a beautiful view, appliances and everything worked, and it was clean. The only problem was getting in because the form had said a key box with a code at the front of the house which was not at the front and the code was for the actual door and not the lockbox. Maybe it was an update but I think they just need to update the form.

Thank you for this feedback. We do appreciate it and we will take a look at the form to update it where needed. We are happy you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

Overall, I recommend this property. Management company was very communicative and thorough, we had no issues during our stay. Pool was a huge plus, there were a lot of pool floats and toys already there to use. However, I'd note that, as many others noted in their reviews, the driveway is VERY steep and can be problematic for certain types of cars or walking up/down and there are a LOT of stairs inside, which wasn't an issue for us, but I can imagine might be a concern for others. Interior was clean and overall I enjoyed the open space concept. However, some of the decor and other accents throughout the house are very outdated and old/worn out. The view from the lanai, however, can't be beat!

The house is in a great location with beautiful bird sounds all day. A little dated with the furniture and needs new mattresses.
Lovely patio to sit out almost any part of the day to enjoy the view of the island and ocean.
We tried to use the Jacuzzi tub the last night and didn’t work. The hot water heater must be pretty small because only one person in our party could take a shower at a time.

We had a great time staying at the beautiful property. The house was clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room to accommodate our family. My favorite part of our stay was eating dinner on the deck and watching the incredible sunsets. In addition to the house being fabulous, the property management team members were all very attentive and quick to respond to any questions/needs we had. We would definitely book another property with Knutson & Associates.

Our Stay was ok, we were surprised by maintenance and safety issues on site and disappointed we were not made aware of the fact that all homes surrounding the property were under construction every day of our stay at the time of booking. We would not have booked.Water leaks on lanai and wood rott were concerning given the height and posisble dangers associated with structure issues on the lanais.

Manager's Response

Aloha Niklas,

We're so incredibly sorry you did not exceptionally enjoy stay in regards to the construction surrounding the property from different properties. We were not aware, nor we were told by any neighbors of when the construction would be happening. We checked for roof leaks, and wood rott, and saw nothing of any sort to what you were referring to. We have called and asked for clarification from you and photos to what you were referring to many times, and we still have not heard from you. We're going to send a contractor out to the home to assess this further, as we could not see anything specifically.

Respectfully,

The home is exactly as pictured. Please keep in mind that there are 2 entrances, front entrance requires going up a lot of stairs to get into the main living room, the back entrance requires a car w/ high bottom clearance, to get to the top of the steep driveway. Wasn’t a problem for us at all; we took the SUV to the top parking and parked the convertible downstairs. There is no AC but the house but that was a non issue for us, there’s tons of windows and the breeze coming through kept the house at a perfect temperature. I loved that the house was equipped w/ plenty of beach toys and gear. Comfy beds, lots of linens, toiletry items and even a closet stocked w/ sunscreens, lotions and aloe (that I discovered after the fact) and kitchen was fully stocked (we left it more stocked!) with spices and sauces. Home is located in a great location. This home is definitely a gem for the price! My only disappointment was that the pool is located across the driveway, from of the house; it gets sun but not enough to warm the water enough (we went in February), so the water was too cold to get in.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for the review, and feedback! We are so glad to know that you enjoyed your stay, and appreciate your input! We do apologize on the inconvenience about the pool, but are glad to know you enjoyed your stay otherwise! Come again soon!

My family thoroughly enjoyed the property for one week. It is in a fabulous location and had amazing views. I was impressed with the property from the moment I walked through the door. The property had all the essentials we needed for cooking. There were beach chairs and snorkeling equipment. I am glad I brought my own snorkeling equipment because there was not enough for our large family. Although the chair in the master bedroom needs replaced, the master bedroom was incredible and such a nice retreat. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first trip to Hawaii and I wanted to be outside as much as possible. This place had multiple outdoor sitting areas with fantastic views of the ocean and city. We had beautiful sunsets every evening. The house was very spacious and lovely and we made good use of the kitchen. After spending the day in town, it was so nice to go to the house where it was quiet (other than the wildlife). We also very much enjoyed the pool when we weren’t at the beach. The entire family was extremely pleased with accommodations.

We had a great time at Ono Hale! The pictures are very realistic to what the actual location looks like. We had our family of 5 plus 2 friends and there was lots of room. There are lots of stairs so if you have trouble with stairs this isn’t the place for you. The driveway is very steep so again it could be tricky getting in and out. There is no air conditioning but it was never an issue, well ventilated. The pool is not heated and that would be my only complaint even though I knew that when I booked. We would spend the day out and about and it would have been nice to lounge around the pool at night but the water was just a bit too cool. If you are staying there all day, the temperature would be fine. The accessories in the home are beautiful but the furniture is a little worn out. The home was clean and the management group was great. I would strongly recommend this place to any of my friends.

We were there with our family - our two adult children and their spouses, plus our 15 month old grandson. We arrived at night so we were unaware of the amazing view until the next morning when the sun rose! We all agreed the house was a great place to stay! We loved the openness of the main floor, the large kitchen, and the beautiful big lanai. We also enjoyed having the pool, even though it was a bit chilly in the water (it was January), it was a great place to hang out. The stone staircase inside the house leading to the lower level caused some concern when we first arrived, but our grandson was so busy running around the rest of the house that he never went near the stairs!

Overall house is very spacious with an incredible view from the deck.
We chose this house for the deck, view and pool and it has exceed our expectations.
The garden is well maintained, the pool and the house very clean : we really appreciate. House decoration and furniture are kind of antics and well decorated.
We found everything needed to make our vacation easy.

In term of improvement:
Have a welcome pack with Hawaiien products or samples (coffee, nuts or flowers).
Some curtains in the master bed room are torn apart.
Having a more personalized arrival instead of just a paper printed can be also well appreciated.

Many thanks for having the chance to spend a week in this house.

We had a great stay! Kids loved the pool & we loved the lanai! Beautiful sunsets! Beautiful views of ocean. It was very clean, clean linens. Spacious house, so lots of room to eat together, play cards & games. Has a washer & dryer. It was very easy to contact manager if had any questions. Good customer service. We would recommend this place.. Good location, went Costco,Walmart on way before we got to house.. next day we drove to south point to jump rock, another day we drove to Hilo to another jump spot & visit bigisland candies & Braddah Pops. Then last spot kids went to was the end of the earth to another jumping spot. We had a awesome time! BigIsland is beautiful!!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The view is breathtaking! Sunsets are amazing. We loved that all the rooms were very well spread out. It was clean upon arrival. Few things to keep in mind: it’s a three story house-so there is a lot of steps. There is no A/C. But it’s not bad at all we always left the windows open and we got air of cool air coming it at night. Also, the driveway is very steep. We had two convertibles and scratched the bottoms of them first time we pulled up, until later we learned how to angle the car while coming up to avoid scratching. It’s manageable especially that made it up there on such low cars. Just take it slow. Other than that the house was perfect.

I am 70 years old and came here with my daughter and her family. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate recommending this home to others. Loved the pool, patio and the lanai. The view of Kona and the ocean are spectacular. The home was clean and well kept. However, I would alert those that are handicapped that the property has many stairs. While I was able to negotiate the stairs others may not.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are so glad you found the property enjoyable and were able to negotiate the stairs in it. We will be sure to impart information about the stairs with future renters. We hope you'll come back and stay with us again!

Myself, my husband and our two adult sons stayed at Ono Hale for two and a half weeks over June/July. We absolutely loved the house, it was clean, well equipped (plus loads of beach equipment and towels) and the chairs and beds were very comfortable - not always the case in rental properties! The gorgeous pool was a godsend to cool off in and afternoons were spent in the shade of the fantastic lanai where we could watch the sun sink slowly into the ocean. Every member of our party loved the house and Blake and the team at Knutson were very helpful and responsive. We didn't have any problems that needed attention but Blake contacted us to check that everything was OK which was appreciated. Kailua Kona is a long and expensive journey from the UK where we live but if we ever come back, and all of us would like to as the island is magical, this is where we will stay!!

Our stay at Ono hale was amazing. The one and only thing that was negative was all those stairs. There were lots. But besides that, everything was perfect. The property management was very accommodating to our needs and the home was well maintained. We are already looking to book this house again in the future. The pool is beautiful and my family enjoyed laying out for hours enjoying cocktails and really just enjoying the home. Last thing, the views from the outside lanai were breathtaking. We will definitely be staying here again.

Overall the property was just what we needed to enjoy our vacation. Beautiful view, perfect location, close to everything we wanted to do, lovely pool, great BBQ, amazing lanai overlooking Kona and the ocean!
A few things to take note of... not particularly negative, just something that potential renters should be aware of.
1. Unless you have a high clearance vehicle... do NOT go all the way up to the back of the house. I almost high centered the Nissan Quest we rented. Luckily I was going down slow so I was able to back up and after a numerous point repositioning, I was able to go at the steep incline on an angle. The driveway at the bottom is also very inclined, so be careful coming and going. Nothing too bad that angling your entry and exit won't fix. But I did catch the muffler a few times.
2. There is A LOT of stairs. We actually kinda liked them for the purpose of exercise, but if you have bad knees this house may not be the best idea for you. (But if you can handle the stairs the climb is worth the view!)
3. There is no AC. I thought there was when we booked it, but it was because the rental documents are general for ALL properties, so it was a mistake on my part. I did go out and buy two fans from Walmart to keep air circulating. Which did great.
Overall, we had a very lovely time at the house and on the Big Island!

Overall, our experience was a very good one. Beautiful grounds and pool. The house was wonderful. However, all of the towels and hand cloths need to be changed to new ones. The house does have a musty smell, especially in the lower level. The mattresses also need to be upgraded as well as bed linens. Televisions and the cable service also need to be updated. An HD tv but no HD service. Lanai is very spacious but there is mold on the support trusses.

Manager's Response

Aloha Rob,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the gorgeous Ono Hale. The owner has agreed to change the towels, so we will buying new ones this week. The lower area of the home where there aren't any rooms a main staircase going up to the main level's smell seems to be fine at the moment. The owners are going to be replacing the older TV's with new ones the next time when they get into town. We're also looking into getting the support trusses power washed/scrubbed with jomax as we've been collecting a lot of rain these last few weeks. Thank you for your feedback. ~Blake Kessner, Broker In Charge

This is a great house with plenty of space and open floor plan. You must BOOK your car before you go. The property is up in the "Sunset" section of Kona. Close to a coffee farm and an outstanding place to buy coffee fresh! Complete kitchen, which we used. Super clean baths, bedrooms and kitchen. Great coverage deck. It's all about the VIEW!

First and foremost, we had a great vacation and loved this place. The house was beautiful with some nice gardens, a great lanai, and a stunning pool. The kitchen is well equipped, and there were a ton of swimming and beach toys to use. However, the property management was not impressive; they didn't mark the property as paid for on VRBO until the day we arrived (I had to call in long before to confirm the VRBO knew I had paid for the rental) and they didn't include a required fee in the original estimate; they also didn't collect the right amount for tax originally and charged me the difference during our stay. Still, this was pretty minor and was not nearly enough to detract from the excellent place.

Manager's Response

Aloha David,

Please accept my apologies for not meeting your expectations regarding our service. The aspect of VRBO not being shown as "paid for", I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. We have an internal property management software for our accounting, and only use VRBO for our marketing & advertising as a channel partner. I'm sorry it seems confusing on the consumers end, I'll look into that remark. Please reach out to me to discuss what you meant by the additional fee you're referring to. Yes, 2018 did raise taxes for all bookings that started January 1st 2018 from 9.25% for the TAT tax to 10.25%, an additional 1% increase. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused. We're glad you enjoyed the house!! ~Blake Kessner, Broker In Charge

The house was amazing! The pictures didn't do It justice as there was way more space than expected. The lanai was the best feature. We spent most of the time on the lanai it was spacious and had fantastic views. The management was very responsive when we had an issue. We couldn't find the BBQ equipment (later found it in a box). The management came the next day with new utensils. The rental was clean and well maintained. The only drawback was limited kitchen equipment for 8 people (serving bowls,pots and pans). But I sent a list of things that would be useful for the kitchen and I expect they will address this. The location was central. We had a rental car and were able to get everywhere easily. I would recommend this place to other travellers.

The positives included the location, the snorkle gear and the property. We were disappointed that the entire morning of our last day included visits by the gardiner and pool maintenance workers which kept us from using the pool and surrounding area. Plus, there was construction on the adjacent property with excess noise, which we understand was not anyone's fault-just disappointing.

This lovely property is perfect for those of us wanting to experience Hawaii from a "local" standpoint. Situated high above Kailua-Kona, the view from the tree canopy is nothing short of stunning, panoramic. We spent many a moment sitting and staring as we relished the quiet.

The house itself is stunning and unique, spacious, immaculately clean and affords privacy in each of the three bedrooms. The beds themselves are very comfortable.

The kitchen is huge and affords ample work & eating space. We do wish there'd been more prepping, storage & serving bowls.

We didn't use the beautiful pool much as it was bitterly cold, shaded by foliage and a bit of a trek to & from (we are seniors).

The other aspect of the property we hadn't counted on was the steep grade getting to and from it. Once we figured out how to navigate the driveway it wasn't a problem, but we didn't enjoy our usual daily walks because the roads were quite steep to navigate.

Access to tourist attractions, shopping and the like was easy & convenient.

We had a very relaxing time at the home. The only problem with the rental is that you may scuttle some of your Kona-area plans to just stay at the house. The main deck is enormous and completely covered giving shelter when it rains and providing a 15-mile view from left to right. Beds have excellent linens and are high quality, as are the towels. Good luck keeping happy children out of the pool!

Incredible home. Incredible amenities. Best lanai in Hawaii. A wonderful, unmatched, view, 3 trees full of lucious, juicy, Kona oranges, and a family of silly turkeys. This place is The Garden of Eden!!

My family had a comfortable stay for the Labor day weekend with plenty of room for some friends we hosted.The price was reasonable and the kids enjoyed the pool. We cooked every night so the large kitchen was very helpful. If kona is our destination in the future I'll be looking for this property again

the accommodations were excellent, beautiful place and all the amenities needed. they had even sunscreen, beach chairs and snorkel equipment. the view was superb. the pool was quite a treat. the only set back was the distance from the best beaches. make sure you know what you want to see at the island.

this made the trip to Hawaii experience very great. the pool for the kids having the master bedroom upstairs overlooking the vegetation and ocean. just a great way to vacation wish there was AC in the house very hot but the property manager did go buy us 3 fans to help.. if I was the house owner id invest in ac in the rooms.

Aloha David,

Thank you so much for your review on our Ono Hale! Yes, we can totally relate how hot it can be during the summer. This summer seemed to be an exceptionally hot one. Usually, Kona does not get this hot. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!!-Knutson & Associates, Property Management

This is a wonderful property though the steep driveway challenging. Recycle bins for the property would be helpful, as well as extra paper goods. Not having extra TP and paper towels was rather unusual and not the industry standard. Little to no sun at the pool due to vegetation but lovely none the less. There were scuff marks on floor by kitchen when we checked in and some dust/debris behind doors. Many insects in house-roaches and centipedes seen. Because we had no information on wehre to find beach supplies we did not know they were downstairs-and rented equipment. The information is not in the guest book. Grill needs cleaning also.

Manager's Response

Aloha Cindy,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our gorgeous Ono Hale. Our rental agreement does state that we only provider a starter pack for 's not intended to last the duration of your stay. We will ensure our cleaners get the message about paying extra attention to the details, especially behind the doors/grill. We have our quarterly pest control service scheduled this week to address any potential pests.

Mahalo!!

The house was incredible! We loved it. Beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very well stocked. It had lots of space and a great energy. Located a bit up the mountain, it was nice and cool, very quiet, and when the moon wasn't too bright there was tremendous star gazing. Just a short drive to town but still felt isolated. Perfect location. We didn't want to leave!

Jaw dropping is the only way to describe this property! My friends and I felt like millionaires living here as the property is beautifully finished and the view to the ocean is to die for. The pictures really do not do it justice. Great amenities and spotless throughout. The management company were great, dropping round a requested spare key and the booking process was smooth and straightforward. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this property or the company managing it. My only suggestion would be a stored camp bed to use in one of the rooms to avoid using the sofa bed in the main lounge (yes - there are two!) or if or use by any children staying. However, the absence of this did not cause us any huge issues. We have already discussed our desire to return to Big Island and if this property was available, we would book it again in a heartbeat. I'd recommend this property to anyone who stands still long enough for me to gush about it. I even took a video to show my family how incredible it was. Loved it!!!!

This is the most awesome house. The spaciousness is absolutely amazing. Everyone of us were in awe. The home is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The landscaping private and gorgeous. Icing on the cake was the private pool. We used it at least two to three times a day. A total jewel.

I love this house! The hone is beautiful and immaculate, the grounds and pool are wonderful. The generosity and hospitality of the owner and care taker make you feel right at home.
The only negative would be that there are many stairs and a steep driveway that would make this difficult for anyone with difficulty walking.
The views are incredible as are the lanais.

Beautiful home; excellent caretakers

Gorgeous, spacious home with more than enough outside space. Wonderful for outdoor eating, on the lanai or poolside or on the back deck. Cared for outside daily; gas supplied for grill without asking. Upstairs master bedroom has private balcony and very large, well appointed master bath. Home easily accommodated our group of 5 (3 adults, 2 teens). Good location with great views. Onsite caretakers a nice touch.

Perfect family vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ono Hale. Our family of two adults and three teenagers couldn't have been more comfortable. The view is fabulous, the location is perfect, and the home is clean and spacious. The management company was quick to respond to a minor maintenance issue we raised. We can't recommend this place highly enough!
