Sean is great to work with and communicates promptly. The home has everything you can possibly need and everything is in impeccable shape. We enjoyed the pool and pool toys, the BBQ and all of the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and ice chest too! The neighborhood is beautiful and so peaceful. We will definitely choose Kona House of Palms when returning to the Big Island.

Sitting at home writing this review wishing I could be back at Sean and Anjali house on Kona. Our stay was perfect, the house was perfect! Best rental we’ve ever had on the Big Island! Every amenity you could think of was provided in the house. The house and grounds were gorgeous - well stocked with indoor and outdoor kitchenware, bath & pool towels galore, pool & beach supplies, bug spray lol you name it, they have it! The pool was our favorite place to be. Our two kids (3 and 5) spent endless hours swimming so much so that we will forever have the memory of our 5 year old learning how to swim from the deep end to shallow end all by himself :-) & the sunsets oh how I will miss. There is a beautiful spot on the side of the house to watch it set. Thank you Sean and Anjali for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Hope to be back sooner than later!

My family and I stayed at this wonderful home for a few days at the start of our trip. It was in the perfect location, spacious, and the pool was perfect for an evening swim after adventuring around the island. They have everything—extra pool towels, beach supplies, and pool toys! The hosts were also super responsive to any questions I had and was so kind to let us have an early check-in AND late check-out, given their calendar. I would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing vacation

Our whole family agreed that this was the best family vacation we've ever taken and it was in large part due to our stay at this beautiful rental. The property itself is beautiful, safe, and clean. Whenever I arrive to a rental/hotel, I always clean first. This is the first time that I didn't need to clean and that alone is impressive (for me). The owners of this home have truly thought of everything- it felt like a home away from home. The pool was a favorite for my youngest, but it was all wonderful- grilling on the patio, watching a movie in the living room, and being in such a perfect location for everything on the island.I must personally thank Sean and Anjali for sharing their beautiful home with us and for their kind generosity. My husband set the bar high in requesting a birthday surprise for his 40th and he was blown away. Thank you!

Fabulous Getaway!

This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed at through VRBO. The gated community was easy to access and central to all of our excursions around the Kona-Kailua area. The property is phenomenal - very clean, and with all of the amenities you would require. The welcome snacks and information was a wonderful surprise for a family with teens and kids.The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable.The highlight was the backyard - private with an unbelievable pool with great lighting and it was where we spent all of our time while at the house.There was also a bunch of toys/equipment that we were able to use at the beach - chairs, umbrellas, bodysurfing boards and snorkel equipment.A experience and we would definitely stay again when we come back.

Couldn’t have found better accommodation

Sean and Anjali’s home is the most ideal property for a visit to Kona if you’re looking for a fully equipped kitchen to cook your own meals, the privacy of having your own pool and hot tub, and proximity to all itineraries on the western part of Big Island. We traveled as a multigenerational family of grandparents, parents, and young kids and every one of us enjoyed our stay. We brought a lot of our own pre-cooked frozen meals so we could focus more on daily outings and adventures. We greatly appreciated that the house was well stocked with everything we needed for beach days and had plenty of towels and accessories/games for a stay with kids. Thank you for hosting us and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Tropical relaxation

The property has everything that a large family needs to enjoy a Kona vacation. Well equipped kitchen, lots of beach supplies, and a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy and relax. The only item that would make the stay even better would be more stable beds in the smaller bedrooms. Two adults sleeping on those beds is a bit wobbly.

Best Kona vacation ever

We could not ask for anything more with our accommodations at the Kona House of Palms. The experience from booking to check out was smooth. All possible needs of a vacationing family, the owners have thought about and made available in the home. The house has plenty of useful stuff from board games, pool toys, rice cooker, and hair straightener… the house has it all. Our hosts have been very prompt and responsive which is a true testament to amazing service. The stove broke on our first night but the hosts made sure this was replaced the next day! The home is a great setting to relax and sit back to enjoy the pool and home cooked meals with family. We will always treasure the happy memories we made at this amazing place.

This property was just as advertised. It was really great. Super super clean!!!!! The patio/pool/hot tub were amazing. Really beautiful and super useful backyard. The lighting setup and fountain were very cool and fun! Fantastic location. Gated community added to feeling of friendliness/exclusivity.

Everything about this house was fabulous. The home was spotlessly clean, the furnishings are new, the beds were comfortable (my in-laws even took note of the brand), and the kitchen was well stocked (including a basket of snacks on arrival). We had plenty of space for five adults. The outdoor space is gorgeous and was a family favorite. The pool was warm, clean, and even has a waterfall. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great Stay

House was super stocked with chairs, beach mats, boogie board and towels. The pool was fun and we swam in it everyday. There was even a basket on the counter for us filled with snacks! The only negative is before we got in the front door, my wife and children were bit multiple times by mosquitos. Luckily, the property had big spray and candles and the bugs were only bad in the morning and sunset. Otherwise, the bugs were tolerable.
