When you see a rental that looks as amazing as the Ailina house - you may not believe that it is as good in person. However it was WAY better than we could have imagined! We were a group of 4 and this house was the perfect cornerstone for our adventures on the big island. You could easily stay by the picturesque pool all day - with adorable gold dust geckos hanging out nearby it kept all of us entertained with our morning coffee. The sunsets over the pool are also dazzling. We chose to make two day trips to Hilo during our stay, 1 for a day of waterfalls and the other for Volcano National Park. The drive was about 1.5 hour each way and it was worth it. There were also tons of activities nearby, like the Kona brewing company, magic sands beach, a site that offered night manta snorkeling! As if the trip wasn’t amazing enough, we have to give a special Mahalo to Laurie with Kona Coastal Vacations! One of my friends left her phone at the house and Laurie went above and beyond to return it to us as quickly as possible! We will definitely be back to the Big Island again and return to the Ailina house!

The Ailina House was absolutely incredible! The view from the lanai and infinity pool was enjoyed by all each night. We were also very close to Safeway, Walmart, and Costco, so we were able to cook from home most meals. David, the concierge, was knowledgeable and very helpful in booking activities for us. We definitely recommend the dolphin excursion! Date of Stay: 12/11/17 to 12/18/17

We loved the Ailina house. It couldn’t have been more perfect for our group of 4 adults and a 5 year old. The fans kept the house cool and the beds were comfortable. There was loads of space to relax and get away from each other if we needed to. We loved having all the doors open downstairs with that lovely Hawaiian breeze blowing through the house. We were able to use the sound bar with bluetooth - you just have to download a Yamaha app for it and the sound was great. Best days spent floating in the pool, watching the sunset, and having a BBQ. I couldn’t recommend Kona Coast Vacations more highly. They were helpful and attentive and easy to communicate with. A truly beautiful house in a magical location. I wish I was back there now!

Our group of 6 truly enjoyed the Ailina house stay with the beautiful home and outdoor living. This location is about 10 minutes to Kona and near many great snorkeling beaches. The grandkids loved having the private pool and everything we needed to fix our own meals. We only wish there was one room with air-conditioning as it was a little muggy at times, although fans are available. Date of Stay: 8/21/17 to 8/30/17

We had a great time at the Ailina house - it was perfect for us with two kids and my mother along. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and enjoy whatever spaces we wanted to be in. It's located about a 10-12 minute drive from Kailua Pier (the center of all the action in town), so it's easy to get everywhere, but also very quiet. The property management company is incredibly attentive, and the private concierge was so helpful with booking activities for us in advance of our trip - definitely take advantage of this service! The pool and lanai were FABULOUS, and the big gas grill worked great. Indoor/outdoor living at its finest! The TVs were completely unnecessary. The beds were very comfortable, and it was awesome to sleep with all the windows open and wake up to birdsong every morning. The two smaller bedrooms were always a bit warm during the day, even with fans going and windows open, but got very comfortable overnight. If you're into making exotic cocktails, I suggest you bring your own jiggers and/or liquid measuring cups. Also, the stereo equipment doesn't include bluetooth or a mini plug, which is a bummer, because the lanai is wired with speakers all around. You can plug into the TV's sound bar, or bring your own bluetooth speaker like we did. We couldn't stop raving about how awesome it was staying at this house. I want to try staying in Hilo next time we come to the Big Island, but it will be hard to not just want to go back to Ailina House!

Enjoyed the home but can't quite understand a $500 dollar cleaning fee? Never seen that before.
