My family (me, husband and 3 teen sons) spent a week here after a week in Oahu. This is the second time my husband and I have vacationed in the Big Island. This was the best Vrbo home we have rented. The entire home is very upscale and comfortable, clean and everything worked. The outdoor space consisting of a beautiful, very large and comfortable lanai and a gorgeous Infinity pool. 2 of the bedrooms must be accessed outside the home. The house is in a very quiet gated community. Although there is no a/c in the main living area, trade winds keep the area relatively cool. We were greeted with a bowl of Hawaiian fruits. Waimea is a drive away from both Kahala coast beaches and shopping as well as Kona. We visited the sacred sites of Mookini Heiau and Kamehameha Birth Site which is near by. We went to both Waimea farmer markets, ate at Fish and the Hog as well as Kohala Burger. Along the Kohala Coast we went to Spencer Beach, shopped at Queens and Kings Marketplace, had delicious Maslasadas from a food truck, and had a beautiful sunset dinner at Brown’s Beach House. In Kona, we did tour at Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory, did Manta Ray snorkeling, had professional pictures at Old Airport Airport Beach and had a another beautiful sunset dinner at Beach Tree. We spent a day at VNP and an afternoon / evening at Mauna Kea. Mahalo!

Best views. Quiet. Peaceful. Awesome responsive hosts. Family of 7 adults and 3 kids. Would prefer others don’t stay here so that I can come back time and time again.

This beautiful home accommodated our family, so we could all stay together. The views were amazing. The fully furnished kitchen and outdoor grilling area were amazing and allowed us to spend time together over meals we prepared.

This was a wonderful place to celebrate a wedding anniversary with our children, their spouses and our grandchildren. Location was gorgeous and the kitchen was great for cooking. Plenty of room and privacy for different family members. Highly recommend it.

We rented this fantastic house for our family vacation, our kids and 2 grandkids. We have been spoiled by a large family home on a lake where we have been vacationing for the past 5 years so we have a very high standard. This exceeded our expectations; everyone had a great time. Plenty of room for all and the pool was fantastic!!! The sunsets were beautiful.

This is a top-notch property! The description is very accurate. The view is stunning. The home is nicely decorated and the floorplan works exceptionally well for a family. Each sleeping area has private access so people can have different sleep schedules without being disturbed. The pool was amazing--super clean, big, beautiful and warm. The hot tub was great too! The location was private and quiet. The location is near many excellent snorkeling beaches. We did not find access to the beach right in front of this property. Also, we found the mosquitos to be pesky, so bring bug spray. Overall, this property well exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it and hope to stay here again soon!

Our overall stay was wonderful! The pictures posted with the property listing were accurate, and the pool/ocean view looked even more beautiful in real life. Pros: - The kitchen has everything you could need. - It was nice that laundry detergent, dish soap, garbage bags, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, and other items were provided. - The bedrooms had air conditioning. - Although we were a group of 10, we never really ran into hot water issues which was nice. - The TV’s have Netflix and Hulu capabilities. - The game room was great, we used the ping pong table and the pool table just about every day, it does get hot down there quick though! - The pool size was larger than what I thought it would be which was a plus. There were also enough lounge chairs for everyone. - The property owner was super friendly and responded quickly with any questions I had prior to our stay. Cons: - There was definitely room for improvement on freshening up the house before we arrived, a lot of surfaces and dishes were dusty, and dead gnats on counters - not major, it just took some work on our end to an initial cleaning. - It noted that the garbage was going to be picked up every 3 days, but it was only picked up once which was the day before we left, and with the hot weather the garbage smelled very bad and had bugs and of course was overflowing. - The pool/hot tup toward the end of our stay had mosquitoes and some roaches, when I told the onsite host, I didn’t receive a response so our family ended up just not using it the last couple days. Overall, I would still highly recommend this property, you cannot beat the ocean view!

Perfect for our family but a bit far away from everything.

We loved the property and the views were stunning!! Saw many whales and dolphins while lounging around the pool.

It's difficult to give an adequate description of this house. It exemplifies what a Hawaii vacation is all about – the view, plenty of (updated) interior & exterior space, the view, a private pool with two wonderful lanais, the view, & nice weather. The expansive, grand view of the ocean dominates (& the surf is faintly audible); views of the coastline, Hualalai, & Mauna Loa add to the picturesque setting (alas, Mauna Kea isn't visible unless one goes to the south end of the property and looks around the corner). There are many more good things to say about this house – they are enumerated in other reviews & in the vrbo listing. Are there negatives to this house? Of course; no house is perfect - there's no whole-house sound system, the MBR has only an exterior entrance, the DVR didn't function (if there is one), and, well, that's all that's worth mentioning.

Beautiful property. Loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed the ocean view. We had 8 people (4 couples) in our group and was nice for each couple to have a bedroom and bathroom to themselves. We utilized the large kitchen and outdoor BBQ grill a lot which saved money on meals

The pool and spa with a breathtaking 180 degree view of the ocean was most popular with this family of nine including small children. The large site is quiet and peaceful with Hawaiian Monarchs, geckos, birds, and beautiful mature trees. The location is close to excellent beaches such as Mauna Kea for morning snorkeling, Hapuna with its waves and sugar sand, and for the youngest children the gentle surf of Spencer Beach Park. Everyone loved the top notch poke, ice cream, and shave ice just minutes away in Kawaihae.

The house was the perfect size to accommodate our family. The location was well-sited, with a fantastic view of the Kona coastline, and convenient to beautiful beaches, the resorts at Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea & all the dining & shopping they offer. The whale activity was more than we’ve seen in the many years; the bonus was occasional spouting, breathing & vocalizing at night.

The 5 bedrooms worked perfect for our adult kids and spouses. Even the teen grandchild had her own room. We found the house to be exactly like the VRBO photos/descriptions promised. The views are amazing. The whales were plentiful. Location is quiet & serene.

Whales breaching, sounds of waves crashing, dolphin sighting. Very comfortable well appointed home. The pool and hot tub were well used. Game room downstairs was fun for the kids and adults.

The homeowner has beautifully outlined what her home offers! Here’s what the individuals in my family had to say: “I love our new home” (5year old); Adult comments “I appreciated the privacy and safety of the neighborhood”,; The master bathroom is spectacular; The layout of the bedrooms is a little unique, as do you have to enter one room and go through a bathroom to get to the third bedroom (although there is an exterior door); While this is an amazing home it is also a very comfortable home. From the 8 year old, This house is amazing and the yard comes with so many geckos and beautiful wild life! We were able to see whales, dolphins, unobstructed starry nights and spectacular sunsets. In summary, the house is spectacular and the property manager was extremely responsive. thank you for sharing your home with us.

We stayed at this property to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday with a few friends and family. The property is spectacular and the location/views are even better than the pictures. We were able to see dolphins while sitting on the lanai! My only complaint is the services and their schedules... be sure to ask the owner about the pool, yard, and maintenance service that will likely impede your stay. Other than that, our expectations were exceeded!

Absolutely goegeous

Beautiful home with spectacular views. Flexible space and very well stocked kitchen (basics). The pool and hot tub were amazing. Not terribly close to things, but that makes for a very serene setting. The only issue we had was one of the two TV’s didn’t work.

Thank you to all to help make this vaca so fun.

If you are thinking about booking this property...DO IT!!!! This home is everything it says it is and better. We were a family staying with our adult children and grandchildren and the set up is perfect for that. Each family had their own area of bedrooms. Also would be great for couples that ravel in a group. The view is mesmerizing along with the pool. Best sunset views!!! In a great location for privacy in a gorgeous private neighborhood that was easy driving distance to many excursions and near fabulous 10 minutes drives to awesome beaches like Hapuna!!!! We loved it and I would advise you to jump on it because you will not regret renting this home!!!!

This property was the perfect location for our Hawaii family reunion (including infant grandchild) and birthday celebration as it accommodated 9 of us in comfort and privacy with a beautiful view and nice swimming pool. Made for lasting memories.
