Absolutely lovely . . . A real gem!

This is a beautiful property! The property owner and manager were very responsive and helpful. This property is perfect for adult groups because of the two master suites, and the fact that all three bedrooms have their own bathroom. The beds and bedding were top notch. The outdoor space (furniture, pool, hot tub) are very beautiful/comfortable and created the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors and watch the sunsets. We appreciated the fact that there were different outdoor seating areas as well as an outdoor dining table.We took advantage of all of the fun pool and beach gear that was available.The kitchen is spacious, well stocked and has upgraded appliances. Excellent laundry supplies and appliances.Access to the community workout facility was nice to have.This home is very, very clean and extremely well maintained (the best we have ever had in a rental). We stayed for a month so we asked for a mid-month cleaning and had an opportunity to meet cleaning staff. They were meticulous! The difficulty we had with operating the hot tub was very quickly resolved after meeting with the pool/spa guy to better understand the operating process. It worked as described after the clarification. The outdoor grill was clean and we used it several times during our stay.There are so many other "little" things that this property owner does to make this the perfect place to stay! This was a 'gem' of a find for us and we will definitely be back!

Reflection and Connection

Hawaii never fails to offer unique experiences, and this location was perfect for our family's needs. It provided ample space for our large family, featuring a beautifully spacious kitchen and living room where we could come together. The outdoor lanai showcased the stunning beauty of the ocean and mountains. The pool and spa were an added bonus, providing entertainment for all ages, and especially delighting the little one. This location truly offered a special place for our family to reflect and connect with each other and the surrounding beauty.Thank you, Hawaii, for welcoming us with open arms and sharing your breathtaking beauty and vibrant culture. Your stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and unique experiences have left a lasting impression on our hearts. We are grateful for the opportunity to reflect, connect, and create cherished memories with our loved ones. Mahalo for the unforgettable journey!

Excellent property

We’ve stayed in this development before, it’s our go to. This was our first time in this particular home and it was great! Beautiful pool and well stocked with everything we needed to feel at home. Furniture was nice and beds were comfortable. Plenty of toiletries available in bathrooms, and chairs and umbrella for the beach. We would definitely come back!

Luxury in Paradise

This is a favorite home of ours. The location is impeccable. It is close to world-class beaches and golfing. The pool and spa are a nice diversion for the family while meals are being prepared. The kitchen is well-equipped and literally had everything I needed to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal. We will be back.

A Wonderful Ohana Retreat

From the beginning the property owner/manager were great to work with...the kitchen was fully equipped and a pleasure from which to prepare meals...the home was beautifully and artfully decorated. The rooms provided a relaxing retreat...The pool and surrounds were fabulous and so much fun for the whole family...to be honest more stars are needed.

A Slice of Paradise.

Property is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. At the same time it is convenient and family friendly. The villa is very spacious and has lots of room for hanging out as a group, while also providing space for privacy and peace and quiet when you need a break. It was perfect for our group of 6–and three generations. Ocean views are gorgeous and having a Mai Tai on the patio and watching the sunset in the evening was spectacular. With easy access to the beach at Mauna Kea—it just doesn’t get any better than that. Management was always pleasant and responsive. Special thanks to Janet and Lissette.

Private get away

This property is spacious and private. The perfect place for multiple families to stay together. The views from the deck and pool are of the ocean and we enjoyed watching the sunset each night in the hot tub. The pool was enough to entertain the kids and for the adults to relax. Was nice to have the hot tub option later in the evening. Getting the settings to work for lights, jets, and temperature was a bit tricky. We had to have the pool service come twice but they were able to reset things and the property manager was responsive. The kitchen was well equipped, we cooked on the outdoor grill most nights. Comfortable beds, very clean. So convenient to have laundry in the house. We were able to pack light. Outdoor shower was fun and great to use coming back from the beach. In the garage they had beach chairs/umbrella, boogie boards, and some snorkeling gear. Quick drive to the beach, went to hapuna beach state park only 10-15min drive. Parking at Mauna Kea resort fills up pretty fast in the morning. We did not get the amenities package and glad we didn’t waste the money on this. I think there is so much to do without it. We booked a luau and night manta ray snorkel at Mauna Kea and you do not need the package to do this. Would highly recommend these activities. Also zipline and horse back riding in Kohala is only about 30-40 drive north. We spent a day driving to the volcano national park and a couple water falls. Well worth the day trip. Highly recommend this place!

Villa with Views at Hapuna at Mauna Kea

Beautiful and well laid out villa on the grounds of the Westin Hapuna with access available (for additional resort fee) to both Hapuna and Mauna Kea resorts. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the bluffs, nearly every room had an ocean view. Sunsets were spectacular! Comfortably furnished inside and out with large lanai, multi-slide patio doors made for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Villa well stocked with every possible amenity - felt more like a home than a rental. Private pool and hot tub a huge bonus. Owner and concierge were very lovely to deal with and very responsive. A definite return destination.

FABULOUS Stay

We were in Hilo to celebrate my step-son's college graduation. House was just what we needed and was definitely worth the 25 minute drive outside of Hilo. Location on the ocean and views from the deck that could not be beat. Directions were clear, communication with owner was timely and practical. House was clean and definitely set up for people who cook - kitchen was very well supplied and knives were sharp (sometimes it's the little things that make your day)! We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but we did spend significant time on the deck enjoying sunrise and the ocean views. Highly recommend this house.

This home is beautiful and is very well appointed. The property manager was super helpful. The home is in a great location with spectacular views. I highly recommend staying here. Minor point - the pool is more of a plunge pool, it isn't a full-size pool, but it was still great to have.

Perfect Vacation

The bedrooms are huge and there are private bathrooms for everyone which ensures everyone gets some privacy and alone time. Common areas are roomy and comfortable as are the beds. Beautiful sunsets every night with gas tiki torches to light for ambience after night fall. Manager checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which we did since the owners seemed to have thought of everything you could need for the kitchen, outside and for trips to the beach. All in all I would recommend for families or adults to share.
