We could not have asked for a better property. We read complaints about the pool, yet the pool was clean and ready to go as soon as we arrived. We also learned that the pool (which is the largest in the neighborhood) is in the shape of the Big Island. How cool is that! The location was amazing! A 5 minute walk to Queens Bath, which is a perfect spot for the kids to swim and snorkel. 5 Minutes by car to the downtown strip, ROSS or Target if you forget anything. This location has it all. Is it older? Yes. But the location and price completely make up for any shortcomings you may think it has. It was very clean, had plenty of towels for both the pool and beach and all the appliances we needed for some great home cooking (i.e. spam and eggs for breakfast). This home lets you enjoy paradise as a paradise. From the sunrise over the hill to the sunsets over Queens Bath, this house brings you back to simpler times. We watched dolphins jumping every morning from the lanai, the glass bottom boat and submarine made stops as well and the inter-island cruise ship honked on its way out. If you are lucky you will be able to see the green light at sunset and bio-luminescence crashing in the waves. we will be back.

We recently stayed for a week at this lovely rental for the 3rd year and already have another stay planned. The location is perfect for my family of 4 (kids are 4 and 7 years old) and a set of grandparents. Having the beach as a backyard is truly magical. The kids switched from pool to beach, which is a few minutes walk along the beautiful coast. We grilled dinner and ate on the patio every night and watched the rainbows and sunset. I appreciated the real time communication via text with the property management who were more than helpful, we travel often and I wish every experience went as smoothly. This property sits within a gated community which made us feel very safe. The security staff was very friendly but you could tell they were diligent about their jobs which I appreciated. The house reminds me of old Hawaii with geckos everywhere you look and fans blasting 24/7. This beach house is one of a kind and we feel so lucky to get to experience it, thank you for allowing us to make memories year after year. Mahalo and a hui hou!

The house was absolutely wonderful. The accomadations were great! Being right off the beach it was wonderful to walk out to the ocean from the back door. The pool was great also. The children wanted to play in it all day. The lanai was wonderful to eat dinners on in the evening. The neighborhood cats were sweet to look at also. An added bonus for us! The description was spot on and our expectations were not let down.

This sweet Hawaiian style home sits among other massive mansions and there was no place we would rather be. The pool and outdoor area was awesome with direct gate access to the sand and rocky walk down to an easy spot to take an ocean dip. Would be great for kids. Many reviews have read "dirty" or "falling apart" but my guess is these are people from the mainland. Welcome to the tropics! Bugs and geckos and a little dirt or salt around the edges is normal! Don't stay here for a 5 star situation, but a wonderful and comfortable home away from home with great kitchen space for larger groups and ample bathrooms. I do think the pool needs a resurfacing and there were some loose tiles around the edges, but all in all we were thrilled with our stay and will recommend to friends and family.

If you are considering staying here, you should book another property. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and close to town, but the photos of the property don't accurately show the house. The pool is moldy, discolored and missing tiles. We knew the house would be old and were fine with that, but things like windows, window sills and fans are filthy and falling apart. There was also a homeless person's trash and pants left on the property. Owner did refund $50 a night, but it's not nearly enough to make up for the overcharge for this lackluster vacation rental.

Manager's Response

Aloha Eric, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. Please feel free to reach out to us at 808.329.1010. With any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.

We have really enjoyed this nice little house and the excellent location by the ocean.
This has been our base for almost three weeks now.

The house is very clean on arrival.
Very well equipped kitchen and the bathrooms are nice.
Fans are easy accessable in every room.
The fans have helped us a lot during our stay here.

The pool: This is probably the biggest pool in the neighbourhood, at least what I could see. It needs a bit love around the corners to get in full shape but we love it anyway.
Great for a quick swim and for cooling off.

The porch is huge and we have had nice dinners there.

20 minutes walk to downtown Kailua with lots of nice restaurants and fun shops.

Our contact Knutson & Associates have been easy to access with. Friendly people.
Fast replies via email.
We are thankful to have experienced this.
Our friends have been here before and they mentioned this as a great opportunity for us. We have not visited Hawaii before.
Now we have inspiration for more.

We rented this house for 2 weeks and had a great time. The agency who rents this house is responsive and communicative. You are close to everything but feel away from everything at this house. The neighborhood consists of a street with 4-5 million dollar houses. This is what we think an original house to this neighborhood. that being said it is a little rough around the edges and can use some updating. Mostly the pool that needs a paint job and retile. We had to call about maintenance when we got there since it was cloudy and bit green. Its such a special place that it is worth it to do some redoing. Also adding AC because there are just fans. Which was fine in April because at night it gets cool. but during the day the back of the house would heat up pretty good. Also be okay with tiny ants, geckos and an occasional cockroach at night. My kids were a little freaked out about the roaches. We had a great time here and recommend it.

Wonderful. We've been coming here for years and have enjoyed each and every experience. I fish out the back, and do good off the point, but one must be careful and pick the right time to do so. All-in-all, one has to take in account of your surronding, the sounds, the ocean, the smells, the rain ever so welcoming, and be willing to overlook a few of the more lack of modern facilities one might find in other locations. Again, take all that this sight offers, I'm not sure there is another sight like this one, anywhere.

The pool was 88-90 degrees during our stay, the kids loved it! Plenty of pool toys (large inflatable shark, inflatable rings, foam water squirters), sand toys, beach chairs/umbrella, snorkel fins, even a fishing pole! The kitchen and linen/towel closet had more than a typical rental house. We often have to spend time doing extra cleaning when we arrive at a rental house, but we didn't need to, the unit was very clean. It is older and showing its age but that was not a problem for us.

We rented with another family. In total 4 adults and 3 children 9-11 (2 boys, one girl). the kids shared a large room in the center of the house, and each couple had a bedroom and ensuite. Worked perfectly for this size and age.The inside of the home is well maintained but older. But, we lived outside! Great lanai and deck area.Lots of pool and beach toys already there as well. Fabulous sunsets! An initial issue with access was solved with a call, (very late at night too). Otherwise pleased with managers. So convenient to Kona town. Would definitely stay again. thx,

This was a good location, and worked out well for our family. The checkin process went well. The blender didn't work, and the company delivered a new one the next evening, nice. It was hot in the house so we purchased a couple large fans which made the temperature more comfortable. The pool cleaner broke a couple times, but we'll assume that they were waiting for a part to replace the coral holding two pieces together when we were there. Overall, nice place!

Excellent location. Dated but clean. Rental agency was very helpful. If you are a first timer to Kona, be prepared for some bugs, insects and roaches.

We had a great time at the Pahukoa! The location is awesome, and we loved the pool the short distance to down town Kailua-Kona and the view was amazing! We also enjoyed the small beach 1 minute walk from the house, both for swiming and wathing the sunset. The huge porch was one of our favorite things at the house, and was used all the time, for meals, hanging out, tanning etc. Loved it! We had som issues getting through the gate the first day, but that worked out quick, and the guard at the gate was very helpful. We felt very safe! There were some insects at the house, but not more than expected in this climate. we also appreciated the beach gear at the house which gave us a lot of fun. Thank you for having us, we would stay here again!

Loved IT!!!

I don't know where to start, I loved so much about this property. The pool, we were right on the bay. Every time we went to Alii Drive we would locate the lighthouse on the beach next to the property. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook a good meal, the BBQ pit was also used during our stay. The location was awesome. Some of the things we did: the submarine ride, the manta ray dive/snorkel and took a fishing trip, were all a short drive away. Although my husband and boys all said the best snorkeling was right off the rocks behind the house. I guess that is why we saw the glass bottom boat there often and the submarine ride was right there in the bay as well. And the view from the lanai was priceless, always something to see. I hope to come back again one day. Even though we were there for 8 days there just wasn't enough time to do everything we wanted to do.

Also, be sure everyone knows how to use the safe or you will get locked out. We had to contact the agent which in turn had the owner contact us so that we could get our belongings out. Both the owner and the agent were quick to the rescue and very polite.

This house was everything we wanted: quiet, private, unpretentious and located within walking distance of Kona town. We loved the no air conditioning and hope the owners never change that. There is plenty of deck space outside and the breezes off the ocean are so refreshing. This older home and property is perfect for a family or group who want a simple get away that honours the old Hawaii.

Clean, homey, great Lanai with dining table and comfortable lounging chairs, and the best view! Pool was a great temp with pool toys available. Gated, secure location within walking distance to downtown and the old airport park. Good fans throughout the house, no AC. Lots of extras like sunscreen, bug spray, shampoo, small kitchen appliances, teas, spices etc. a couple minor issues, some pool tiles had come off and would get stuck in the pool vacuum, the full size bed was uncomfortable but the other three were good.

Great location, older house but very clean and family friendly. Calibrated my nephews 8 year old birthday,he had a blast with his cousins and we literally couldn't get him out of the pool. The house location is great as all of our off property venues were close,and easy to get to.Although we spent most of our time at the residence with family n friends. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Other than the noises from the increased traffic, garbage collection twice a week, speeding cars, it was fine. Just changes from our stays here previously. I know we can never go back to what it used to be, but it is still wonderful--out in the back!! Wish pool had been clean the last 3 days of our stay. The rain and wind storm really dirtied up the pool. My husband and I were not in any shape to clean it our ourselves and the pool sweep wasn't working properly. I understand that John,the pool maintenance man was overly busy with other pools. Understandable. But sad we couldn't spend those last days cooling off. We will be back again. It feels like our home away from home.

This was the perfect vacation house for what we wanted.
Close enough to walk to town centre (15mins) but in a very quiet gated community with loads of space to chill, stunning views of the ocean and gorgeous pool.
Room fans meant no night was too hot to sleep despite 90degrees and sunshine most days.
BBQ grill was fantastic and the house is well equiped.
We were 3 couples sharing for Ironman week, we all had plenty enough space but wouldn't want to fit 2 more adults in. I could see how the configuration could work for 8 but only if at least 2 (ideally 4) kids involved.
Management company were also very responsive, we had a small leak from the water cooler in the fridge which was repaired within an hour of contacting them.
We'd definitely rebook this property again, so much to like about it and only the slightly dated decor and lack of aircon (which actually was positive to us for Ironman acclimatisation but might be a negative for others) on the downside.

The location is great, right on the shore and near a small beach where you can lounge ans swim safely. There are tide pools right at your back door step. The gated community is a plus. We loved the pool, and out two younger kids were in it all the time. It does not have a shallow end, so if you have have small non-swimmers, I would be very careful about staying here. The beds were nice and the kitchen is large and well stocked with essentials. There were two boogie boards and some miscellaneous snorkle gear that we were able to use. Beach towels were great. We loved all the geckos in and out of the house. Most of the bugs were outside. We realize that this is a tropical location, so there will be bugs! There is no air conditioning, but coming from Idaho in November, we loved the warmth! There are nice ceiling fans in every room to keep the air moving.

That happened day and night. Really scared us. Lastly, the marijuana smoke and bad language from the house on the other side was very annoying. Don't know what can be done about that. Lastly, the kitchen light and fan went out an wasn't ever fixed. Otherwise, place was clean, is being updated slowly, and is located in a very nice place.

We picked his brain for local restaurants to try--not the tourist traps. We brought our daughter and her girls, 13 and 6, with us. Wonderful having the private pool for them to enjoy. The gate keepers at the entrance were also very helpful and extremenly friendly. I had asked for a few small changes from the previous visit and they were all handled.

The property fit our needs well. It is a little worn in some rooms (cracked bathtubs, scuffed paint, etc.), it does appear that improvements are being made as the kitchen looked recently redone. The pool needs a bit of maintenance. The pool lights don't work which is good since one is so broken/flooded that I would have been concerned about being electrocuted. Made friends with geicos inside the house and only had one cockroach each morning in the sink (though watch your drinks on the lanai at night!). The view can't be beat and the location is perfect! The gated community adds a level of safety and security. No AC in the house, which I think is only a problem in the middle of the summer. We were a bit warm, even at night. Plenty of towels and linens were provided and the beach umbrellas that were provided was definitely a bonus! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and if we ever return, we would consider staying again.

This year was our second stay at this house. The oceanview, pool, charming house with enough space for the two families makes this place perfect! The neighbourhood is good and the distance to the centre of Kona is short. It's only a few minutes to walk. We recommend Knutson & Associates and this place very much. The only negative thing to comment is that the house (exterior) need some upgrade, but that doesn't affect us to much. Beautiful place!

The property is old (as we knew from the description) but in very good condition. We would suggest to add a water boiler since the antique stove is slow and inconvenient. But this is a minor issue, altogether the property is very nice, spacious, in good condition, we would definitely use it again and recommend it to others.
Particularly the pool is just great - large and deep, made for diving.

This house was perfect for both my family of 3 and my sisters family of 5. It sleeps 8 people and has 3 bathrooms. We never felt like we were tripping over each other. Its a good central location with which to explore the island. I was not expecting it to be a gated community, which was nice, as there was reduced traffic on the road in front of the house.

After spending 4 days in Volcano, this was a very relaxing break for 2 kids (7 & 11), two parents and two grandparents.

Location is perfect-- easy to get to beaches, restaurants, shops, etc.

Pool was large and warm. Kids wanted to swim at night and lights were broken. That was the only pool complaint.

Kitchen is large and well supplied. Easy for 4 adults to work simultaneously. As other reviewers noted, the house is a little tired. But location and price are in line with condition.

Beach towels were missing and Nick at Knutson was very responsive.

My new husband and I used Hale Pahukoa as the location for both our wedding and our reception, and it couldn't have been more wonderful! The weather was beautiful, the scenery was amazing, and the house had the perfect setup for everything we needed! Several people commented on how much they enjoyed the house and location, and how they would like to rent it for themselves sometime. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a good vacation rental (especially for a family)!!

This was the third time in 5 years that we have rented Hale Pahukoa, we LOVE this traditional Hawaiian home ! We slept peacefully with ocean surf, and trade wind breezes filtering through the whole house thanks to the jalousie windows. It is a great get-away for just chillin' at the pool, plenty of shade on the porch, outdoor dining, and searching for the green flash at sunset. Will be back soon !

We loved renting this property. We have been to Hawaii a lot, between my husband and I, we have stayed at the several different condos, the Hapuna Prince, even owned a time share at the Bay Club - NOTHING compares to the comfort and ease of this place. We loved having our own pool and being able to walk out on the beach and explore the tidepools with the kids! This place is so well equipped that it even had life jackets that fit my 5 and 2 year old. Our 21 and 20 year old liked being able to walk into Kona. Knutsen Properties was also great to work with and very friendly! I only hope this place is available every time we go to Hawaii!!!

I was pleased at how well the kitchen was equipped and loved the pool and the beach was so private. I will book this house again.

This house is in an amazing location! It's within walking distance to the shopping and restaurants of Kona but is in a beautiful, safe, gated neighborhood. It is also a good location for exploring both the Kohala coast as well as the southern Kona coast.

We LOVED Keiki Beach!! It was absolutely perfect for my toddler as well as my 7 year old. The pool was convenient but be aware that it is very deep and doesn't really have a shallow area other than on the steps.

I gave it only 4 stars for general condition for 2 reasons: 1) While we were there, the dishwasher broke. The management company handled it well though. 2) The house comfortably sleeps 6 but the living room only has seating for 5 and the lanai only has comfortable seating for 4.

The house was great - the beds were wonderful. Spent a lot of time relaxing on the patio watching the waves come in. Pool was too cold to use unfortunately but keiki pond was fantastic.

Upon arrival Kona was a cooler than expected but eventually warmed up. The location,lanai,pool,beach,ocean,and views were magnificent. For some reason at night when lights were turned on lots of tiny flying black insects came for the lights. Just a little annoying. Otherwise had a great stay.

Had a great time, would rent the house again.
