This place was the key to our fantastic family celebration of our wedding anniversary. Allyson was the perfect host along with her onsite team to provide recommendations and advise on how to enjoy our 10 day trip to the Big Island. It worked out to be everything we hoped for when we booked it to be able to have a great get together with enough space to have our privacy. Thank You.

Perfect location for a large family group! We had a large family group here for a week. It was PERFECT! Communication with Allyson was prompt and she was very accommodating. The house was beautiful and well equipped, the space was set up SO well for a large group, we ate most of our meals in the house and there was lots of space for prepping and eating. Some things that were very thoughtful-2 coffee makers and two crockpots-made cooking for our large group manageable. There were some water toys that the teens took to the beach and games and books that we enjoyed at the house.Even with our large group of children we felt comfortable-the house is perfect for families, clean but not pristine-exactly what feels most like home. The slightly rural location provided privacy for such a large group as well as a feeling of safety being a bit off the busy roads as we had nine children from 1-7 years. Each individual family group had rented a vehicle so the 10-15 minute drive to the beach was very manageable and the house had lots of parking. The view and wildlife are spectacular! I would recommend this home!

This is a lovely secluded property not far from Kona. It's in the hills surrounded by gardens with very few neighbors. There is plenty of room and everything is supplied (except bar soap, which I recommend you bring with you). The owner is responsive, helpful, and very nice. There are books and maps for use around the area. It's not near the beach, so if that's what you want, this is not the property for you. The beaches are all within brief driving distance, especially the beach at Kona. We loved the place and would stay there again.

Very nice place to stay. We had a party of 21 adults, and found space for everyone. Allie was a great host and communicated with us throughout; answering all our little questions about the house. Wholeheartedly recommend this place for family reunions, friends, or any party larger than just a core family.

The house was very clean! Had great views of the water. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook the food we bought. Plenty of extremely comfortable bed (we had a group of 11 and didn't even have to use all the beds). The property was tucked away and not in a neighborhood which was super nice. All the beach amenities needed so we didnt have to pack our own from home. The kods had lots of fun chasing around all the little geckos. It was also fun walking the property looking for the different fruits and plants that are in the house binder. The binder also has very good suggetions for beaches to visit and other activities. We would definitely recommend this house to other people planning on visiting the Kona area.

This house was beautiful and the views were magnificent! There was enough room for everyone and the views of the sun set at dinner were breathtaking!

A very nice place to stay. Will definitely stay there again. We had 10 people in our group and there was more then enough room. The frogs are a bit noisy at night, but everyone liked the noise to fall asleep to. Everything about this home was great. We all were extremely comfortable and had areas to go for any alone time if needed. I highly recommend this place.

Great house! Lots of room. Beautiful surroundings and view of the coast.

We were in town for our daughters wedding and needed a place near the venue to coordinate all the activities easily. Allie's location was great!!

This was the perfect location and size for our family. The hosts were responsive and helpful throughout the rental process. We could not have asked for more! We would definitely consider staying here again with a large group!

The owner was very very helpful! The house is excellent for a large group of people; lots of space indoor and out. House is in a great location with panoramic view.

We loved this property, and Allie and her son were very quick to respond when minor repairs were asked for. The home was beautiful, in a quiet setting. The Coqui frogs were heard at night but only as background noise, and they lent a jungly feel to the stay. The kitchen was well-supplied with utensils, beds were soft and comfortable, and everyone in our group of nine felt like they had their own bedroom/bathroom combination. The location was great - just minutes from Kona, handy to the Saddle Road for trips to Hilo or HI Volcanoes National Park or horseback riding in Wiamea. Parking and driveway were plenty big. The numerous porches and lanias made for memorable outdoor meals or sunning sessions. We would stay here again! Mahalo, Allie!

The house and property were amazing. Spacious and clean! Allie was a wonderful host.

Our group of friends spent two weeks at this beautiful redwood home. Located amidst lush trees and vegetation in a quiet neighborhood over 1500 feet up the mountain, this home provided everything we needed, with comfy indoor spaces, ample room to spread out and plenty of privacy. The main floor deck offered wonderful panoramic sunset views. The opposite deck was perfect for enjoying breakfast at sunrise. The backyard is lovely with a recent cutting back and thinning of the vegetation which has brightened and opened up the area and also lessened the sounds from the coqui frogs at night to barely perceptible from inside the house. Many brightly colored birds were seen and heard thru the day as well as local chickens and a rooster or two that traverse the property. The night sky is gorgeous, with dark skies for evening and early a.m. star gazing. The kitchen is very workable with plenty of space for food preparation and large tables that seat many inside or out on the lanai. Well stocked with supplies, spices, condiments as well as a great collection of dishes and kitchen essentials. Loved the avocado, tangerine and lemon trees on the property and the fruit we enjoyed from them. The beds were wonderfully comfortable with a large assortment of pillows and blankets. Plenty of beach towels, bamboo mats, chairs and boogie boards for outings at the beach. The location is ideal, within 15 minutes of the airport, Costco and Kailua-Kona. Like a home-away- from-home- we all loved it!

We loved the flexibility of this space to sleep and host all our guests. The property and view were fantastic. 10 minute drive to Costco was awesome for picking up groceries during our stay. Overall it is very comfy and spacious!

This house is tucked in the rain forest and a great hide away from the hustle of town. It is also much cooler temps than in town or on the beach. Plenty of space for 12 to cook, eat, sleep and hang out. Great big hot water tank so we could all get hot showers. You can hear frogs sing at night, which we enjoyed, but you may need the provided ear plugs if you are sensitive to sounds. One tiny frog made his way inside, as well as a gecko. They were fun to see and easily transported back outside. We picked oranges and tangerines to eat right on the property!

Excellent location and great setting. Allie was exceptionally accommodating in providing necessary items to make our stay safe for the toddlers as well as comfortable for the rest of our family.

We loved the house. It was the perfect place for our large family group. Lots of space so we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, beautiful sunsets from the lanai’s.

An excellent place to “kick back” and enjoy Hawaii. Well situated for reaching many areas. Of course you need a car/cars but to see this gorgeous island you always do. Thanks for everything.

House was per description, roomy and accommodated our large group of 20 well. The owner was very responsive to our needs. It was a great place to stay.

A very nice location. The house was big enough for all 12 of us. The views of the deck was amazing.

The setting was lovely with the lush foliage and beautiful views. Our host was personable and made us feel welcome. Everything was accessible for wonderful times at the beach and kitchen was a dream to work and hangout in. At night, the sounds of the little green geckos was like the continuous roar of waves. On our last night I was sad thinking i would surely miss that. Overall, a most enjoyable stay.

This was the perfect home for my family when we went to elope in Hawaii! There were 16 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed when we decided to stay in for dinner. We were all a little concerned with the temperature of the house at night because we are all very warm bodied, but the weather was perfect! The host was very accommodating, and incredibly helpful. We had a blast. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we come back to visit!

Fantastic property. Lots of space to move around and amazing view! Loved the lanais and the outside dining. Really enjoyed the wildlife inside (lizards) and out (wild pigs and chickens). Loved the fruit trees. Close enough to town for shopping and restaurants and great info on beaches -Honokohau beach was beautiful with lots of turtles and fish! Thanks for the advise for the electric hot water heater - came in handy with 9 people! Beach chairs and umbrellas were a great plus as well. GREAT communication with Andrei and Juliana. Highly recommend!

This house has plenty of rooms, blankets, beach supplies such plastic toys to build sand castle for kids, towels, umbrella, surfing board, and dinnerware. We enjoyed our time. Its location is about 12-15 minutes to beaches or major markets. The owner was very resourceful and helpful.

Property is in an excellent location. Elevation made for cool, comfortable sleeping. Easily accomodated our party of 7 adults and 5 children. Cousins had not seen each other for ages due to the pandemic and they had a blast. Owner easy to work with and included his own guide of suggested activities which turned out to be valuable. It was a special get together for our family in a wonderful home.

Spacious home with a great view of the Kona coast. Plenty of room for a gathering of 12-16 people. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking and the outside propane grill cooks well too. A very easy home to step into and enjoy the stay.

Pros: -great kitchen, well supplied -gorgeous view of ocean in distance, amazing sunsets -very thorough and helpful house manual/guide -communicative host -pleasantly cool evenings/mornings -outdoor shower for sandy people -separate suite design great for multiple families -good amount of beach gear -convenient drive to beaches etc. -feels private but not too remote Cons: -warped screens admit bugs (mosquito bite rate felt like camping) -overgrown landscaping choked out lawn, narrows drive, and makes good for the -coqui frogs This merits a section of its own. The frogs are too much. We had a good time here despite the frogs, but would not revisit. The jungle surrounding the house encourages the frogs in close, and the closer they are the louder. From a distance I can appreciate the sound of massed coquis- some folk wax rhapsodic about the sweet and nostalgic sound. Up close coquis, which are up to 3x as large and 5x as densely populous on Big Island compared to their native Puerto Rico, are like alarm clocks or pagers ringing in your bedroom all night. It’s manageable to sleep through- ear plugs helped immensely. But the frogs start at dusk and may go til dawn, so loud that it shuts down evening conversation and hang out time. Quantitatively- the frogs hit up to 70Db inside at times, and most nights the interior measured at NC-60, normally a rating found at sports stadiums or light engineering work. On days where it did not rain the frogs were quieter (48 Db) and quit earlier- midnight or 2am. Starting the third night we went out each night to hunt frogs nearest the house- just thinning the 10 feet closest to the back of the house made a huge difference. Do your research and make your own conclusions- some people like the sound.

Have nothing but rave things to say about our stay here! Andrei was so chill and extremely flexible with check in and checkout. His recommendations for where to go for hikes were definitely very well informed. The house was in great condition and is such a beautiful space ❤️ great for large groups. The front yard has an avocado tree that never stops giving (a daily joy) and a passion fruit tree in the backyard. It’s amazing that just around our house alone we were able to such a diverse set of flora and fauna... definitely something new to explore everyday. The house itself comes equipped with literally all the items you could possibly need on the trip... surfboards, water shoes... you name it. Our group was mostly working from home and the WiFi was quite stable and was able to sustain many of us had video calls at the same time through out the day with only a few problems. The house is so spacious that literally everyone is able to have their own working space. There are so many places to accidentally fall asleep on haha. One of our favorite moments is when Andrei came and installed a SWING attachment. We were shoooooook so much fun. Great location - short drive to everything. Maybe we’ll be back in the future 👀

It’s a beautiful place and lots of room. Beautiful house and comfortable

This house is lovely. We stayed for 1 week for a family reunion with 8 children aged 4 - 11 and 7 adults. Sleeping arrangements only took a few minutes to figure out. We had a girl cousins room which the cousins loved. The four sets of parents each took the other rooms. The beds were comfortable and the sheets clean, Blankets and comforters were on the beds. We didn't think we would need that but the nights get chilly especially after a hot day so we learned to appreciate a warm blanket at night. With three showers, cleaning up after a day at the beach had to be timed but didn't take long. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. The kitchen is large and well stocked with cooking equipment which allowed us to make breakfast and pack lunches (dinner was out or sandwiches). The kitchen also has basic cooking necessities such as salt/pepper and items left by past guests such as hot sauce, sugar, and flour. Dishes (plates, glasses, flatware) were clean and plentiful. Beach necessities are also available which helped us coming from the East coast. There are beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, toys, and some snorkeling gear. We greatly appreciated the lanai and the wrap-around porch. The children loved to run around the house and play hide and seek among the trees. This was a great vacation for the whole family and the house provided the rest at the end of the day that we needed.
