This home is lovely, and all that we could have asked for. It was very <br/>clean & well equipped. The master suite in a separate building was<br/>a nice touch. We spent lots of time in the tower enjoying the wonderful<br/>ocean view and breezes. Star-gazing at night was great. The proximity <br/>to the shoreline is wonderful, we fell asleep to the soothing sound <br/>of the surf. A great vacation home!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful property! The house was perfect-enough room for our family-which include 2 active boys. We watched the Dolphins and whales from the lanai. The boys loved chasing the gecko's and having room to play in the yard. The hot tub was wonderful to unwind in. The location of the property was great- A quiet street -only sound was listening to the ocean crashing against the rocks. Thank you again.

This was a perfect place for two families vacationing together. The views were great, we even saw some whales breaching! The kids called the upper deck the "tree house." The place was great - well stocked, clean, well-maintained. We can't wait to come back.
Perfect for our family.

For my parents' 60th birthdays, I set up a trip to Hawaii for them, myself, and my grandmother (87). I found Kai Vista on VRBO and fell in love with the view, the semi-seclusion, and the offering of individual bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone.<br/><br/>The house is located an easy ~20 minute drive from Kona International Airport. It is a few miles from "downtown"...close enough for convenience and far enough to get away from it all. The home is located on a private drive just off of one of the main roads, which adds to the feeling of "secluded convenience" <br/><br/>Upon arrival, we had a small problem with a missing house key, but Heidi and the caretaker quickly helped us resolve the problem. They were courteous, professional, and very quick. The property itself was immaculately clean and extremely well-stocked with towels, kitchen basics, and nicely appointed furnishings. <br/><br/>We had some trepidation about the lack of central air. Not only were we comfortable at night, we actually got cold from the trade winds as I listened to the waves crash on the nearby beach and let the surf lull me back to sleep. We were all as comfortable as if we had been home.<br/><br/>We spent generous time on the tower, watching canoe races, paragliders, and we saw dolphins and some whale spray. The tower has a gentle breeze and a table and chairs. <br/><br/>We also used the whirlpool, which was super comfortable, and we grilled Cheeseburgers in Paradise! The kitchen was a hit with the cooks, with everything we needed to prepare several meals in a convenient way. We were grateful for the thoughtful way that the kitchen was put together.<br/>

We enjoyed the close-in spot near Kailua-Kona; it was only a mile into town but along a busy stretch of road which wouldn’t be good for families with small children along. Facilities were in good condition, with enough counter space for a person to get out a meal for 5 people, as long as the meals were simple. Great living room and eating area for a medium sized family, though we spent a good deal of our time in the ‘tower’ overlooking the water. The construction site in photos does not have any activity. It appears that it was an intention not followed up on. There is some kid noise from across the street, but golly, it IS a neighborhood. It didn’t bother us at all. Decent parking for two cars. Strange collection of kitchen utensils, but plenty of eating utensils.

Overall our experience was excellent. This home has everything to make your stay in Hawaii perfect, The kitchen is well stocked with proper cooking and serving utensils. Also, the home provided some beach amenities as well. We really enjoyed the hot tub. the only thing that came as a surprise to us was that the master bedroom is detached from the main house. The location was very good as well and was close to shopping and "beaches" . Hard to find a sandy beach in Kona!

We were looking for a place to call home on Kona -- and we found it at Kai Vista! The house was large and comfortable, the location was ideal, and the management company was incredibly responsive. The concierge service helped us setup some tours -- the Mauna Kea Star Gazing isn't to be missed. Thankfully the house had air conditioning for us to use as some days were really hot. We enjoyed the lookout that is pictured online. We only wish they had a pool -- but we made it work. We hope to return.

This exquisitely appointed, almost beachfront home is perfectly maintained with cozy comfort in every room. Spectacular ocean views from the home and the special vista viewing tower makes this 4BD/3BA the perfect Hawaiian getaway.
The 1/4 acre lot is completely fenced in for privacy and relaxation from the outside world. The main house has 2 upstairs bedrooms, one queen and one double. The den (which is ground level) doubles as a bedroom and even has sliding doors to close it off for privacy. The largest bedroom and bath has its own entry and is private from the main living area. The room boasts a king size bed and a 50' plasma TV including cable. All bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning units. All mattresses are tempurpedic. The fully equipped kitchen has marble counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The dining area has a large rectangular table that has two benches and two chairs, easily accommodating at least 6 people. Both the upstairs and the downstairs have comfortable sitting areas, the upstairs boasting an ocean view plus a 50' plasma TV with cable. There are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and living areas. There is a full indoor laundry room separate from the house.
Outside you will discover a large deck perfect for cooking a meal or relaxing in the hot tub. There is a Weber Genesis propane grill and an outdoor dining area for 6. There are two additional chairs, an umbrella for the table, and seat cushions as well if needed. The hot tub is covered under the deck so that you can enjoy its splendor rain or shine. The two chaise lounges on the lawn are perfect for reading a book while catching some rays. The house provides 2 boogie boards and snorkel gear to help enhance your ocean adventures
The property features a special viewing tower that is accessible from both the upstairs living room and the downstairs deck. The observation tower has a table and fours chairs. Spend the morning up here with a cup of coffee or the evening with a glass of wine, either way, the coastline views and ocean breezes are bound to make you never want to leave.
Due to the home's location on a private road, the area is quiet and peaceful. Perfect for watching sunsets and breaching whales. The excitement does pick up though a few times a year during the world famous Iron Man event. During this time, you have front row private viewing to both the swimming and running events. Just 1.5 miles down the road is the famous Mokuaikaua Church in downtown Kona. Water access is just a few steps from the front gate.
