A home watch service is similar to a home inspection service—but unlike ones you’ve probably heard of before. They don’t inspect homes that people are getting ready to purchase—instead, they investigate (or watch) vacation homes while you're away. We would say that when you hire a home watch service, you’re getting another pair of eyes—but that would be selling your "home guardians" short!
A home watch professional does so much more than watch your house. From making sure your pool water is clean to ensuring that a passing storm didn’t do any damage to your Kona vacation home, services can be customized to meet your particular needs.
Who Benefits from a Home Watch Service?
A home watch service benefits anyone who owns a second house in Hawaii. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons people may have a home in Kona—and why this service would be such an asset to have!
Vacationers
If you’re like many who own a second home in Hawaii, this gorgeous island provides the ideal scenery for a vacation home. With the crystal clear, deep-blue water and sparkling sandy beaches, you have your own slice of paradise. A vacation property in Kona is ideal since the weather is incredible year-round. While the rest of the mainland is shivering through a record-setting polar vortex, those who own a vacation home in Kona are enjoying the beach.
A vacation home is a luxury to own, but it can be stressful if you don’t have the assurance that it’s in good hands while you're back home on the mainland. With a home watch service, you have control over the care of your home—even from abroad!
Snowbirds
Maybe you’re retired, and you have plenty of free time to enjoy the life you've worked so hard for. You may have family in other parts of the country that you want to be near. However, every winter, you get a chill in your bones and a craving for some sweet sunshine. Who wants to deal with cold winters or the treacherous driving conditions of icy, snow-covered roads? That’s why you choose to have a beautiful home on this paradise island. You’re a "snowbird"—and proud!
However, for most of the year, you won’t be occupying your retreat—and you’ll need a reliable team to make sure it’s well maintained. Your home watch team is on-call to give your house the tender, loving care it needs during the long off-season.

Job Travel
You may have an exciting job that takes you all over the world! Some people enjoy these types of jobs and are made for the adventurous life. Some jobs require traveling for an extended amount of time—maybe a month. You may have to leave your beautiful home in Kona as part of that jet-setting lifestyle.
Given that you may not know when you’ll need to leave the Big Island until a week or days beforehand, having an inspection service that is ready at a moment’s notice means that your property will be well cared for until your return from abroad.
