This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 13. The location is spectacular overlooking the ocean. The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool. Nancy was a wonderful host promptly answering any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our visit to Hawaii.
5.0
The views, location, the setting was as wonderful as one could expect and even more. It was a beautiful place for us to renew our vows. The grandchildren and of course the adults enjoyed the pool morning and night.
The bedrooms and the number of bathrooms were ample for all fourteen of us to be together for our ten day stay. The only drawback was that the living area was not air conditioned and while it may be adequate when there is a breeze blowing or perhaps at the time of year when the temperature is cooler, it was not always comfortable. No where in the listing did it mention that the living area was not air conditioned. For this reason we gave a three star rating for accuracy of listing.
Last but certainly not least Nancy, our host, bent over backwards to see to our needs, was very helpful and accessible. She was very kind and generous.
We made beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Mahalo Nancy.

We were a family of 10 and we were not crowded at all. The grounds and pool were wonderful. The best pool we have had over previous rental locations. Nancy was very easy to communicate with quick responses to all questions. The house and ohana were very comfortable and well appointed. Close to beaches and shopping. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of beach equipment available (SUP, kayak, snorkeling gear). Highly recommend this place.

Beautifully maintained and supplied with everything.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The location of this property (ocean view and proximity to adventures) was incredible. The pool, patio, and ample yard were our favorite things about this house. We would explore in the morning and come hang and relax for the rest of the day. My family of 4 stayed in the cottage. It was like a second home and the hide-a-bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. If we return to the big island, we will 100% choose this house again! Thanks so much Nancy!

Three generations of family made the He'eia Bay House and Cottage our home base for a wonderful week on the Big Island. No matter where we all went during the day, we loved coming back to the most beautiful sunsets viewed from the patio (and from inside the pool!). The bedrooms and living spaces fit our needs perfectly and the host was very easy to work with. Highly recommend!
5.0
The check in process was very smooth and quick, Nancy was fast at responding to all of my questions. The house is located on a perfect piece of property that gives you the best views for sunsets with privacy. Our family really enjoyed the pool and hot tub at all times of the day. We were a group of 9, and there was still plenty of space available. This truly was the best property that we have stayed at in Kona. We can't wait to plan another vacation back.

The house and grounds were wonderful. Perfect for our family of all ages. We contacted the host for any issues and they were very responsive and helpful. Great quiet neighborhood with a short walk to a fun rocky beach for exploring. The pool and view were the real highlight! We hope to be back again!

Everything about our two week stay was great. The house, ocean view, lots of supplies, pool toys for the kids, close proximity to grocery store and a private setting were all perfect for 3 generations to enjoy. Nancy is very helpful and always responds quickly to answer questions. We hope to return again! Thank you Nancy and Hui!

Beautiful location, nice pool and Jacuzzi. Property manager, Nancy, very nice and receptive.

This place is really incredible! Even more beautiful and relaxing than the pictures convey. It was truly a perfect spot — serene, beautiful, well-maintained and spacious. We stayed at the property for a week on a family vacation with 12 people, including 7 children ages 5-12. There was ample space and plenty of comfy beds.
The location is also terrific. It’s on the south side of town, right on Hee’ia Bay with incredible waves right outside the door (experienced surfers only, not for beginners!) and a short walk from the marina. Great view of sunset and the sounds of the ocean is loud and perfect for sleeping.
The host was terrific and communicative.

Great location! The house was stocked with all the essentials.

We enjoyed the property and stay very much. We had 7 total and didn't use the guest house, so the property can comfortably hold 10 or more. Nice, open space and swimming pool. Phenomenal sunset views every night, and the sound of the waves crashing are two of the highlights.
We stayed in the house for the Ironman triathlon. 5 miles from the race venue so close enough to the action yet we had the privacy of a home.
5.0
Absolutely perfect. We were 4 couples and all had great rooms. Beautiful view of the ocean with amazing sunsets and the full moon setting over the ocean was amazing. Close to anything we needed. Pool was a great highlight. We used it everyday after being out exploring. Plenty of room to spread out or have everyone together. Thank you Nancy!

We rented this fabulous large vacation property in the Keauhou Bay area for a large family summer gathering. Everything about this property; location, setup, amenities and our host Nancy made this a very memorable family vacation.
We enjoyed the large backyard area with the pool, badminton, and BBQ areas overlooking the beach. We utilized the short access to the beach to go snorkeling and swimming while enjoying some of the most beautiful sunsets.
This really is the perfect location for a Hawaiian vacation and Nancy the host will be as accommodating and helpful as possible.

We had the most amazing time at this home. The house(s) were absolutely perfect for our 2 families!! The view was breathtaking and the landscaping immaculate. The pool was huge and the entire property was filled with amenities that were appreciated!! This was by far the best rental home our 2 families have ever stayed in! Nancy was great to work with and we would love to revisit this home one day!

My daughter stayed here 2 years ago with her wedding party and loved it. We decide to stay here for 10 days with our family, 6 adults and 5 grandchildren. We had such a great time and will rent this home again. Plenty of space for everyone. BBQ was used nightly and a very equipped kitchen. Nancy was a delight to work with again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

The place was above our expectations from the pictures. The place and location was picturesque, beautiful! We even saw a rainbow on one of the days! Definitely will be back!

The house plus cottage was perfect for a family of 11. The location right on the ocean with a pool, hot tub and lots of grass for little ones to run around on. The grocery store was 3mins away. The house was clean and spacious. The cottage was great for our family with an 18month old who was teething and not feeling well. Nancy, our host was so very nice and responded to our evey need in a very timely manner. We could not have asked for a better spot for a large family vacation. The weather was great 72F to 85F with some rain shower in the evening.

My family and sister's family stayed at this amazing property for 7 days. As others have stated, the pictures don't do this place justice. It is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed at. The view was outstanding and the house itself was big enough that our whole family didnt feel like we were tripping over each other. Nancy was so nice and responded almost immediately when asked any questions. The only downside was leaving this magical place. Our whole family talked about how we would love to be back in the future!!

Thank you, Nancy for sharing your beautiful home with us for our 50th wedding celebration. The home was beautiful and the location was incredible!
The home was large enough to comfortably fit 10 people! The kitchen was well equipped.
We all enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and the various outside games that were provided.
Thank you for helping to make our dream come true.

Pictures do not do this property justice. It is simply breathtaking. Could not have picked a more wonderful spot to sip a drink, look at the ocean and listen to the geckoes and birds. Everything about this property is A+ including the lovely host Nancy who was so awesome to deal with. The location is fan-flip'n-tastic.
We were all missing our dogs at home so much Nancy brought her adorable fur babies over for a visit and cuddles. Definitely cheered all us kiwis up! Not that there is anything to be unhappy about if you are staying at this house but goes to show what great people the hosts are.
Can't wait to come back.

What a beautiful house with stunning sunrises and sunsets. The view from this home is breathtaking! The pool was just what we needed when we were ready to relax after our excursions. This home had everything we could ask for as a family of 9. Very short distance to shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately, we did not meet Nancy personally, but she was wonderful to work with. I would recommend her home over and over again.

Really nice place! Perfect for our family trip.

This is a beautiful property overlooking Heeia Bay and right next to Keahou. It’s a perfect spot because it’s not overly touristy, but you can still walk to multiple restaurants: Kenichi’s is phenomenal. The Outrigger can be great too, just be prepared to wait even if you make a res. Music is good there and you can see the mantra rays at night.
The upstairs balcony is wonderful off the main bedroom. The house is very comfortable with great views. Because there are many places to hang out (multiple places in the yard too), it doesn’t feel crowded even when you have six people staying here. Everything was absolutely perfect. We hope to come back here again. I highly recommend this house.

What a magical stay! We came with our family ranging from 69 years to six and everyone was amazed with the house and it’s surroundings.The house is not only beautiful but functional. All 13 of us had enough space. Nancy and Ed were the most gracious hosts and tried to anticipate all that you would need. I must say they did a great job! Both are a wealth of knowledge and would have enjoyed seeing them more. We also met Larry who landscapes the property and he also had many suggestions on what to do along with pleasant conversations. It was a trip of a lifetime, with gracious hosts, a beautiful location and our wonderful family. Thank you Nancy and Ed!

This beautiful property has a wonderful ocean view, pool, lovely grounds, and tons of space for a large group. Everything about the property was special and Nancy was just amazing. We traveled with all our family and everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The location was terrific, close to Kona but far enough away to enjoy a private sweet oasis in beautiful Hawaii. We enjoyed preparing our own family meals and enjoyed great restaurants with ocean views in and around Kona! I would recommend this property for any family or large group of friends. It was just a wonderful place to enjoy all the big island has to offer, a very special property and we would visit again.

This was the second time we took the whole family to stay on the property. It's close enough to kona to visit when you wish, but far enough to feel a little more secluded. The property is beautiful and well appointed. We'll be back!

3-generations ranging in age from 69-years-young to 4-months old and we all had an amazing time. Perfect amount of space to be together or have somewhere quiet to go for a bit. Could not have asked for a better experience. And the view and location…simply perfect.

The children loved the pool and badminton area. Adults can get away to their own area. It was just fantastic and we have rebooked for 2024.

The home(s) were exactly as listed and shown in photos - even better. Great for a large group. We were 7 adults and 4 young teens. Completely outfitted for cooking and entertaining. Lovely kitchen, open plan livingroom. Everything was in working order. Nancy, the owner responded quickly to any communications. Comfy beds, lots of pillows. Pool and patios were beautiful! Several seating areas. And the view - like a postcard!! Highly recommended!

Picturesque, private pocket of paradise!
This home was clean, light, organized and well appointed with simple, tasteful, beachy decor. Beds were comfy. Air conditioning in the bedrooms a plus, although the master bedroom has such a wonderful ocean breeze running through it, that we didn’t need it. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and the houses are close together, but grounds made us feel like we were at our own private resort. Lush flowering foliage created lots of privacy. Lovely pool with easy entry. One view from the pool is the waves crashing in the bay, another view is the open ocean, another the well maintained grounds. We used the volleyball court every day, and the soft grass was so nice on bare feet. Covered grill area was convenient and used often. Cozy little spots to enjoy the sights and sounds, and areas to gather as a group. Nancy, our host, was accessible and responsive. Just a really amazing stay with oodles of great memories during our two-week stay at this beautiful property.

I have stayed in many vacation homes, and this one, by far, was the best! The house was clean, the kitchen well stocked and the amenities outstanding. And of course, the view was absolutely beautiful. We didn't want to leave the house because it was so peaceful and perfect. But when we did venture out, there were a variety of beaches nearby. Overall, it was the perfect house for family and friends to vacation together!
