Just down the hill is the charming downtown Kona boardwalk lined with island surf shops, clothing boutiques, and eateries. And it is less than 20 minutes to the Kona Harbor, a jumping-off point for virtually any ocean adventure. The house is 20 minutes from the airport.
When in Hawaii, you must of course make the most of the many beaches, hikes, and water activities available. Make sure you also dive into the unique culture of Kona, where coffee shops source beans straight from Kona coffee farms, Big Wave Golden Ale is brewed fresh at the Kona Brewpub, and local farmers markets are teeming with artisan goods and just-harvested produce.

Grand Welcome Disaster
I booked this property months in advance only to have Grand Welcome tell me the property was unavailable for two days at the end of our booking. I had previously called to confirm dates and my family booked travel from 3 different countries to get to Hawaii. When I was told the property was unavailable, Grand Welcome recommended changing our travel plans. I could never get ahold of anyone when I called, or get reliable answers. I would steer clear of this property as long as it is managed by Grand Welcome. You can see the other bad reviews online, which I wish I would have read before booking.

Kona 2024 Family Extravaganza!
A Family trip to Kona planned a year ago went beautifully!
10 of us flew from California and ended up at this amazing home! We were all so pleased, especially the kiddos as they were in the pool from 8am to 8pm with so many pool toys to keep them occupied!! All the rooms were perfect, the kitchen was made for a large group and was equipped with all you needed. But the best was the doors to the back with the view and pool. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely! Thank you, Kona and to this beautiful home that made our yearly family trip a grand treat!

Amazing property
I really loved my stay at this property. The house is super spacious, making it perfect for a family reunion. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, which was ideal for everyone. Our favorite is the beautiful and perfectly situated pool overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking supplies. I would definitely rent here again!

Beautiful Property!
Stunning home, well-appointed, great view!
The only problem we had was figuring on how to turn the hot tub on since the controls were in a weird place.
