Do not recommend
I had a thoughtful review typed out, but VRBO limits the review to 1500 characters...
In summary: The photos on this listing don't match how the property appears today. The property is very cluttered and dirty with the owner's private things. Despite the management claims that the pool is "clean and in good working order" the lawn maintenance company sprayed grass all over in the pool then when the pool cleaning guy came the next day he cleaned and chemically shocked the pool but within hours of him leaving the pool developed a thick green algae that made it uninviting. The stove and BBQ grill were both very dirty. Stinky rotten meat smell from the grill disrupted the outdoor experience. Only one outdoor lounge chair actually had cushions, the other chair was bare wood (chairs don't match what is depicted in photos). There was bin of moldy cushions next to the chairs but none of the cushions matched the chairs and they were too unclean to sit on. The home does not have AC except for a window unit in each bedroom. One window unit was missing the blocker for the exhaust which caused concerns for critters entering the home.
Lastly we reported this concern to VRBO for investigation but the home had recording devices in private rental areas including a camera on the back patio facing the seating area and audio recording devices inside the home including what appeared to be audio devices in bedrooms/bathrooms.
Would gladly share more thorough review but VRBO has truncated.

My husband, our adult daughter, her husband, and I stayed at this lovely property. We are not resort people. We love to explore the history and customs at the various places we visit. This property was in Kona and afforded us the many opportunities of exploring. Driving to Hilo a few days, about two hours, including doing a zip line....was exceptional. However, the best aspect of this property was the exceptional communication of the management (Hailey) and her expert Erin. We felt comfortable letting them know when we needed dishwasher soap, or extra towels. The fast responses were greatly appreciated! Having access to laundry facilities was a plus and our family enjoyed the pool. We visited in January, a rainy time, but used the pool between raindrops. Living in Los Angeles, we enjoyed the rain since we get very little. It is a privilege to be able to have a place to stay that is well kept and that you can feel secure. We would stay here again if only we can be assured that Hailey and Erin were still part of the management team!

Great Kona stay
Perfect location near several gorgeous beaches. Comfortable and smooth communication. Light sleepers may be bothered by neighborhood rooster calls that begin very early. With no A/C the windows will likely be open. Great pool!

Very nice house with a few minor issues
This property is a very well appointed rental, with nice facilities, a very nice pool, nicely appointed kitchen with plenty of available cookware for entertaining, and the bathrooms and bedrooms are quite nice. The absolute best attribute of the property is the pool and outdoor patio area, which is mostly private, and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful.
Issues I discovered once in the property seemed to be the result of property management neglect. There were many signs that made it obvious the property had not been occupied recently, which would not be an issue but for the fact that properties still need some bit of upkeep and care-taking even if not occupied. For instance, the small patio outside the master bedroom was filthy and had not been cleaned in quite a while. There were many dead bugs on the floors inside the unit. The water level of the pool was so low as to make the pump function inoperable (this could damage that function, as the pool maintenance person explained to me on the day he visited). The ceiling fan in the master had one speed, low, as has been mentioned by other renters, so it should be replaced. There is an issue with the plumbing in that every time water is used--a toilet flushed, water run in the dishwasher or sinks, the washing machine run---there is a very loud squealing noise emanating from the pipes (I highly recommend getting a plumber out to take a look). Lastly, the toilet in the master bath had to be replaced because it was leaking water.
While these issues did not impact my enjoyment of the unit dramatically, they did detract from my overall enjoyment of the unit during my stay. Having maintenance staff visit me twice in 2 days to repair a broken toilet was a bit intrusive. These are the reasons I would give the property a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating. It's a nice place overall, but there is certainly room for improvement in the upkeep of the property, particularly given the pricepoint of the rental.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I'll start with the good. The house is really nice and well appointed. Due to the walls and landscaping, it's fairly private and it's located in a nice quiet neighborhood. The patio seating area and the pool is awesome!
The bad: There is no AC so when we closed everything up and left for the day, the house was really hot and stuffy when we got back. Even after opening all of the windows, it took a while to cool it down to where it was bearable. Also, the kitchen and master bedroom ceiling fans only have one speed: slow, so they were kind of useless. Thank goodness the owner put a couple of floor fans in the house otherwise we would have been very uncomfortable.
When we first got there, the ceiling fan in the master wasn't working so I contacted the house manager and they sent someone over. Unfortunately when the electrician came by to fix it (which wasn’t even worth it because the blades barely turned afterwards) due to him turning off the power to the house, it shut off the pool waterfall and vacuum so we didn't get to enjoy the waterfall, and by the time we left the pool was a mess mostly due to the gardener coming by and cutting the grass and getting half of it into the pool. Also, the outside outlet for the patio lights was not working, which the electrician was supposed to fix but didn't.
The ugly: We had gotten an email in the morning saying that the house was ready and we could check in at any time. We got there at 12:30 pm and when we opened the door there was smelly laundry everywhere, all the trash cans were full, and the beds were unmade. The house was hot, stuffy, and stinky because the previous tenants had checked out two days prior and no one had come by to clean it. I immediately called Vacasa and they said: oh, sorry there must be some mistake... ya think?? Anyway, long story short, we unpacked and waited on the patio for the maids to come by and clean. Four hours later we finally had a clean house but after the maids left, we realized they had taken our coconut oil and some food we'd put on the counter! Thank goodness I told them not to clean the fridge or we probably would have had all our groceries disappear as well! The good news is that after reporting all this to the property manager, they did give us a credit on our stay which helped counterbalance the half a day we wasted waiting for a clean house. Nice house but the property management, maintenance, and housekeeping leave little to be desired!

Beautiful vacation home!
Every thing was exactly like shown in the picture, but more beautiful in person! The only negative was the ceiling fan in the Master bedroom did not work. The cool breeze came thru the open windows and there were two oscillating fans that worked great! Over all I would say this is a 5 star rating and would love to stay again when in Kona!
