425 KaMilo was so beautiful, comfortable, welcoming and exceptionally clean. It was far better than a home away from home. The layout was perfect for our eight and truly relaxing; everyone just felt totally laid-back and carefree. The entire complex had many amenities that we took advantage of, or we just chilled at home enjoying the breezy winds blowing through the palm trees. Our host, Burt, quickly answered the few questions we had. The location was great as a midway point for exploring the island and everything there was to do. Thank you vrbo and Better Homes and Garden Real Estate for posting it.

The house had everything we needed for hosting 9 people for 13 days. Easy to check in and easy check out. Garage was loaded with equipment and the Mauni Lani Beach Club was perfect for the kids.

Great house and stay

This condo was perfect for our family trip (6 adults, 3 kids). It was in an excellent location with access to a nice pool, and a fantastic beach club within a 5 min drive. It is also in proximity to lots of great shopping and resorts. The garage is FULLY LOADED with all the equipment you need for beach days and snorkeling. Tons of space and stocked with everything needed to cook, bbq, and enjoy family meals together.

We thought our time at our VRBO on the big island was exceptional for our extended family of 9. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds, the generous kitchen space with plenty of dishes and utensils, exceptional eating areas, and comfortable seating. Our favorite spot was the lanai where we gathered every morning for coffee and in the evenings for conversations about our busy days. The gated community was very beautifully landscaped and quiet. We settled into a routine of beach time in the mornings and pool time in the afternoons. We were so excited about being in Hawaii that our first full day we arrived at 8 am at the Beach Club, and were able to grab perfect beach loungers. Everyone appreciated the water toys in the garage: snorkels, life vests, beach chairs, umbrellas, pails and shovels, and the bikes too. There were excellent conveniences nearby, including restaurants, a grocery store, T-shirt stores, and a shaved ice spot that was our newest favorite treat! We also spent a lot of family time walking/hiking in the area discovering beaches, spots for viewing the sunsets, historic fishing ponds, petroglyphs, and discovering new plants, birds, and animals. This was the perfect "base" for a wonderful family vacation on the big island of Hawaii.

My family (8 adults and a 2 year old) recently stayed at this property for 10 days. I can’t say enough positive things about the property and it led to the perfect Hawaii vacation for my family! The home was beautifully kept and had plenty of space for all of us including some evenings when my sisters family (2 adults, 2 kids) joined us for dinner. We were familiar with the Mauna Lani property prior to our stay and have no complaints regarding location and proximity to things. The pool was close by and the private beach club was perfect for my 2 year old to play on the beach and in the water. The beach is in a nice protected bay and is also a great spot for snorkeling. Another great perk for this property was all of the beach gear in the garage. There was plenty of snorkel gear for all of us. I really appreciated all of the amenities for my toddler including a pack n play, high chair, life jacket, and beach toys. We didn’t need to rent anything extra for her while on our trip. Burt was very responsive to questions prior to our trip. We didn’t need anything during our stay but Burt was in contact several times to check in and ensure that he was available if need be. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future. Thank you Burt and your team for helping us have such an amazing vacation. Mahalo

The house was beautiful, comfortable and spacious, exactly as shown in the pictures. The great room with the fully retractable sliding door to the lanai was an incredible place for the entire family to spend time together. The garage was fully stocked with recreational gear. We had an incredible time.

We stayed here for a week in March with 6 adults and 2 children. The house was clean and had great extras like sunscreen, olive oil, coffee, sugar as well as a nice welcome gift from Burt. The location is a short walk to the pool area and the we frequently took the wagon with garage gear. We used the beach club access one afternoon and loved it. Do bring water shoes as the lava stones in the water can be a bit rough. The beach club staff were great and you can eat there or order drinks for the beach. The cabanas and beach chairs are first come, first serve. This property has several chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and a few sets of snorkel gear (in ok repair). We didn’t need to buy any equipment beyond what was provided. We loved using the bikes (4 adults, 1 kid (age 6-11 size). We ate in several meals and food land has a hot and cold food bar for quick meals. Side note: Using the bike pump was a bit tricky but a google search explained that it’s opposite what you normally do. Put the pump attachment over the bike tire stem and pull the clamp up. You’ll know it’s latched correctly when the psi adjusts on the gauge. I only tell you this because even my mechanic dad was a bit stumped by the design, we enjoyed riding the bikes around the complex and to nearby resort areas. AC: all windows and doors must be closed for it to function. Then it works great. Steps - to upper lanai - watch the extra lip to avoid tripping. Bottom of first staircase step gets hard to see.
