Property is a nice 3 bedroom and 2 bath house that the owners use and appear to rent out when they do not visit the property. Large kitchen that is well stocked and has a nice island to prep meals. The open concept leads to the living room with a large tv however the tv gets a bad reflection on it during the afternoon and evening as there are no blinds for the windows. The alternative is a beautiful sunset each evening from their deck where the windows are located. Also on the top floor is the master bedroom and bathroom which were large and include a walk-in closet. Downstairs are two bedrooms and the laundry room. Each have quality furniture. Our only complaint is that they only provided one roll of toilet paper and when asked about we were told by the management company via text that they only provide a starter amount and that we would have to buy our own. I found this to be quite cheap considering the price per night. They did communicate later in the day that they could provide some more in a couple of days but we had already ran out so we had to go to the store to buy more. We left our extra rolls at the end of our rental for the next family of renters. Otherwise this would have been a 5 star review except for the lack of toilet paper.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was beautiful clean & a view. Had all kinds of pool activities for the kids, the pool was not warm & did not use the pool much , kids might of used 3 times & less than 30 mins each use, was too cold to go in even in the month of July. Overall the house was great. The property management was in contact with myself pretty often.

The house is nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well enough to cook meals at the house. We did contact the management company a couple times during our stay and they were quick to deal with our requests. While there were a couple of coolers it would have also been nice to have a thermos to take to the beach. The house did have pool/beach towels but I think it may be time to replace them. It also may be time to replace the umbrella by the pool as with all the rips and tears its not really usable. The house does not have A/C but this was not a problem for us since we were there in March. We had the windows open the entire time and the house stay cool enough. The roosters that live around the house wake up very early so I would suggest bringing EARPLUGS if you want to be able to stay asleep! All in all we enjoyed our time and would definitely stay at this house again.

We stayed near Hilo for 4 days and Kona for 6 days. This was amazing place to stay, excellent amenities and location. We enjoyed snorkeling with manta rays, the submarine tour of the ocean bottom and deep sea fishing on Sea Baby III. Thoroughly enjoyed the awesome kitchen it made us feel at home for meals.

Nice property, great ocean view.

Well first off. We did NOT find the Roosters cute, as other guest had written in house book. Not only did they make noise all day but started as early as 3am. This would not be as much of an issue if you could close the windows. You could NOT because it was very warm. No A/C was a huge problem for us. First two days very breezy so it was ok, however too breezy to enjoy the pool and lani. The last day normal temp/breeze way to warm in the home, day and night. You need at least one unit in the bedroom. Then you could close windows and hear less, rooster, dog, car noise from neighborhood. Parking spot a little tricky to get in and out of. If you have a large SUV, good luck. Home was clean but not spotless. No welcome note or amenity. No curtains or blinds in the kitchen/dinette area make it hard to find a place to eat out of the sun. We did not use the pool, too cool for us. The bathroom window had no window covering. It is a high window in the shower area but I could see the house above this one so could they see me? We have rented many VRBO in Hawaii for 20 years. It is a real problem this No A/C because it is a "higher elevation" doesn't fly. It is too warm. You can charge extra to have/use A/C, we have paid at other rentals a per day charge to use the A/C.

After 7 full days of driving the Big Island seeing all the sights, swimming with Mantas and eating Malasadas from Tex’s, we enjoyed 4 wonderful days laying by the pool at HALE LIO KAI. The hot tub was divine. Beds were comfortable, sunsets so beautiful! Highly recommended.
