    If I could give a ZERO star rating I would. TERRIBLE!!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS ORGANIZATION!I rented a property from this company and never received a confirmation for my reservation. They did however charge me for the deposit of $912. When I called the company everyday for about 10 days about paying the balance and in general checking on the rental I received no response. I also could no longer find the property on the website anymore. After a couple months I received a call stating I owed a balance after I had already rented another property because of the lack of communication from this company. This was our family Christmas vacation and had already got our plane tickets and booked activities. When I explained this the person I spoke with indicated it would be right for me to receive a refund but in the end they decided to just take my deposit without any apology and stated that because there was no communication they were going to keep my deposit. After this happened I looked them up on the BBB and found multiple complaints. This company is horrible!

    ********************,

    I apologize for the lack of response.  Kona Vacation Rentals did not handle your reservation fully.  The reservation was transferred to Aloha Kona Vacation Rentals (***************************).  We no longer managed the property you had rented and the owner of the property requested all reservations be transferred to the new management company.  This information, and the new company information was provided to you via email on 11/26/2023 at 10:56 am HST.  At that time your deposit was also transferred to **********************************.  I have copied the email below:

    KVR will be transferring your deposit/payments to the new manager. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office. You can reach us at ***********************.

    Again, I apologize for the confusion.  It appears, however, that your reservation and deposit were both held by a different management company.
