The stay was fantastic. Quite neighborhood that allowed easy relaxing, but also close to everything we needed. Best were the peaceful mornings enjoying the birds and geckos in the yard. Excellent host and house.
Lovely home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Well equipped kitchen, great pool with pleasant garden surrounding it. Car is essential to get to shopping and most beaches but a short drive.
Everything was perfect. The house fit our family of 5 perfectly. The pool was great. The house is very well stocked with everything you might need including a cooler, snorkel gear, pool noodles and beach chairs. It was a lovely house and we had a wonderful time. The neighborhood is great for getting out for morning walks. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home is a peaceful *quiet* neighborhood. Have stayed elsewhere in Kona and heard neighbors partying all night long --- you would never hear that in this area. The pool is great and the backyard has views to die for.
We are currently at the airport awaiting our flight home. I cannot say enough positive things about this listing! The house was AMAZING. It was extremely clean and had everything you could ever need on vacation. We loved spending time in the backyard and enjoyed cooking meals at home and watching the sunset from the back patio. The house has plenty of beach gear and towels. Having the washing machine and dryer was wonderful. The outdoor shower was perfect for after the beach. The house is in close proximity to town. Our kids favorite part was how close the house was to Magic Sands, their favorite beach for boogie boarding! Thank you for a great stay, we will be back!
My husband and I have been to Hawaii several times but our friends have not. This was not only their first time in Hawaii, but their first time vacationing away from a resort. To say we were all impressed is an understatement. Nightly sunsets from the backyard, quiet neighborhood, easy access to everywhere. Now they know why we keep going back!
We recently spent a month in this lovely property and enjoyed it so much that we reserved another month next winter! The house is well designed and beautifully decorated and maintained and supplied with pretty much anything one might need - kitchen equipment, beach supplies, etc. We loved sitting in the back yard watching the sunsets, enjoying the pool, and just relaxing. The owner was easy to contact, and her local support was very available. We'd not stayed in this part of the Big Island before and were taken back by the amount of traffic. But that said, anything you might need is available locally, and there are a variety of beaches, stores, and good restaurants to visit. We are looking forward to our return.
Where do I begin?? We booked this trip for a 2 week family vacation which included my mother in law, teenage daughter and her friend, myself and husband. The house was beyond perfect. Everything was described accurately and the house was well equipped. From towels to beach necessities to kitchen supplies, everything was available. The yard is simply stunning. If we werenât out exploring, we were sitting in the backyard or swimming in the pool. The backyard shower is not only convenient but well designed and beautiful. Morning coffee was enjoyed on the lanai and we ended every evening watching the sunset. I was worried not being directly on the water for this visit but was beyond satisfied. The views were unbelievable and the water is less than a mile away. The house is spacious yet you never felt too far away. None of the rooms are connected so everyone has privacy and their own section of the house. The laundry room was a lifesaver and having garage access was great to keep the car cool during the day. This home is so close to the heart of Kona that within minutes you have access to the best restaurants, shopping, snorkeling, activities, grocery stores - you name it. This was my fourth trip to Kona and by far this property was our favorite. We absolutely loved our experience! Mahalo!!!
The only comfortable seating are in the bedrooms. Sheets on the Master bed too small. Shower drain in 2nd bath clogged. Ice in refrigerator clogged daily. Major trip hazard in Master bath between tub and shower!
Yveâs property was the perfect place to enjoy with our family. The location was ideal for us. The neighborhood is safe and close to all we needed. The house is well appointed with everything needed for an extended stay. Itâs location within the neighborhood is also ideal as you truly feel you are alone, with incredible views of the ocean and beautiful sunsets.
Yve was most responsive to all our questions in a very timely manner.
There is no doubt in our mind that we would choose Yveâs house when we come back. A truly positive experience.
We had an amazing time in Hawaii and this house was perfect for our family. We were travelling with our kids and grandparents and everyone had a blast. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. The A/C and washer/dryer were a must. The backyard was just as gorgeous with some grassy area to throw a ball around and a beautiful pool to play or relax in. The outdoor eating area was a nice bonus. We ended up eating all of our meals outside. The sunsets were unbelievable with the sun going down in the ocean. Just as advertised. The neighborhood was beautiful and close to Costco and other shops. I would highly recommend this house and we hope to return in the future.
Thank you for a fantastic vacation!
Very nice layout. Good kitchen, living spaces. Primary bedroom bathroom is very large, other bedrooms are decent sized. But the best thing about this property is the backyard and the pool. Totally private with plenty of spaces to sit, lie down, in the sun and the shade. Pool is clean and was serviced every week.
Owner was very accommodating. Would definitely come again
The house is located in a beautiful peaceful neighborhood. It is generously outfitted with everything you could ever need. The house was clean and well maintained. The backyard was a private tropical nirvana. We marveled at how absolutely quiet it was. Pool is large and always warm. View is beautiful. Every sunset was a photo op. We will stay here again. The owner and her housekeeper were both great.
We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful house. It was tastefully decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious for our family of four. The garden is just marvelous, very private with a refreshing pool and we watched the most amazing sunsets. Also much appreciated the beach gear that's available for guests and perfect to enjoy the island's beautiful beaches. It was easy to communicate with Yve and Kelly and they made us feel home in no time. We certainly hope to come back.
Beautifully landscaped yard and in ground pool. Lovely house- good AC-a rarity on the Big Island. Close to Magic Sands and Kahalu'u- one of the great easy spots to snorkel on the Big Island (but car needed). Plenty of snorkel gear and chairs and umbrellas for the beach. 5 min drive to grocery. Lots of restaurants in downtown Kailua. Quiet neighborhood. Pool really nice on a hot afternoon. Very private pool area and yard.
Beautiful inside and out. The house was exquisite & and gave the feeling of paradise on an island. Definitely recommend if you can relax next to the sparkling solar pool and outside shower to enjoy any time of day!!
An island girl and an island boy looking to return to Hawaiian living soon. In the meantime Hale Ali'i is our second home. We love our piece of paradise and selectively share it to keep it maintained and filled with joy while we're away. We hope all who stay there will experience the the same peaceful tranquility.
The house is in a safe and exclusive neighborhood close to Kona. It has all the conveniences but in a resort style setting. The house is newly remodeled and beautifully furnished with everything for indoor and outdoor island living and relaxation.
