The house is really nice and furnished with everything needed. Ralph was extremely helpful and available. We will definitely come back when on the island.

All was as it was meant to be, and that is fantastic. A bit of a tropical storm hit us for a day, but it forced us to relax and slow down. A welcome and unplanned gift. Thank you Hawai’i ohana, you always provide us with the needed perspective.

Ralpha and Priscilla continue to be phenomenal hosts. This is our 2nd year staying in their place and unbelievably we had more fun than last year. The condo is very well appointed with everything you could need for your stay. I highly recommend this condo for anyone considering a stay on the Big Island.

Ralph is the most organized and responsive VRBO host we've ever rented from. The condo itself is great - very clean, and very organized. Ralph has thought of everything. The beds and pillows were high quality and very comfortable. The towels and provided toiletries were great. The beach equipment was an added bonus - lots of kids snorkel equipment, boogie boards, pool noodles, beach umbrellas, and a wagon. There is 1 kid size life jacket which was nice to have for my younger snorkeler. The pool is shared with the Ka Milo development to the north but always had lots of chairs and shade. There is a lap pool, a hot tub and a fitness center there. Being able to use the Gem cart is reason enough to book - just a few minutes down the road to the Fairmont Orchid, a few minutes the other direction to the grocery store (be prepared for $7 milk and $10 bread), Tommy Bahama restaurant, and the Island Taproom had good IPAs. The Fairmont Orchid restaurant was underwhelming but we ate one night at Beach Tree at the Four Seasons Hualalai (30 min south) and it was fantastic. The Mauna Lani Beach Club is 5 minutes by cart and had the calmest water and best snorkeling in our time there. Plus beach chairs and a restaurant good for lunch. The neighborhood is very quiet and much more relaxed than Waikaloa to the south. Great for families. Overall this is a fantastic home base to explore the Big Island or just hang out in the resort areas along the Kohala cost. We will definitely be back!

Four time we have stayed here! had a great time yet again! We will be back, Thank You Ralph

There were so many things to do! Having the cart to drive to the beaches was fantastic. The access to the resort parking was a huge perk! The house was beautiful and we had everything we needed for a great trip!

All the comforts of home and more! We enjoyed time around the pool, the private beach and evenings at the Fairmont Orchid resort. 20 minutes to some of the best beaches on the Kona coast. Conveniently located in Mauna Lani and walking distance to restaurants and groceries. But who needs to walk when you have access to a GEM EV cart? Ralph was the perfect host; available when needed to get us settled in. We’ll be back!

Everything we wanted and more the accommodations were amazing and Ralph went above and beyond with providing us with suggestions and options while we stayed at his property. I would love to go back again some time in the near future it was that great of a Senior Trip for my Son and our entire Family.
