Great House and Location, One Issue
This VRBO was fantastic! The house itself was spacious, had a well-equiped kitchen and had the most amazing view. The location was unbeatable! This home is right on the tide pools, which offers great opportunities for exploration and fun. This home also provided easy walking access to Kailua-Kona. The sunset views were also great. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
Unfortunately, we had a negative experience with a next-door neighbor who hurled repeated expletives at my kids, my wife, and myself over the course of several hours. The resident neighbor became irate when we were walking back to the home from town and she passed by us on her motorcycle and felt we were walking on the wrong part of the private street. It's important to note that the VRBO host had no control over this situation, and the house itself was incredibly quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood security and property management company were incredibly responsive, courteous, and understanding when we contacted them, and they increased patrols for the rest of our stay, which we greatly appreciated. We did not have further issues with the neighbor after that day and we believe security and the property management stepping in made the difference.
Overall, we highly recommend this VRBO based on the wonderful property and its amazing location. However, we felt the responsibility for full disclosure to share the issue with the resident neighbor.
