A great base for a family Big Island adventure.

Overall positive experience. Garage appeared much larger in photo. Not enough parking available for the number of units. Get rid of that awful laundry detergent. The smell is nauseating and impossible to sleep when it permeates the sheets. There are natural options that don’t offend the senses. Thank you.

We were very excited about the house. Lots of room to spread out and kitchen well stocked. Unit was convenient to some great swimming & Snorkeling beaches. Local market driving distance, next time we will rent a golf cart, to get around locally.

Our stay was memorable, relaxing and fun for our entire family.

We gave the Seashell a three star rating based on the following: Needs improvement: 1. The view. I contacted the property managers before booking (due to the photos on VRBO showing a construction site next door). The response was construction has been halted for a while and there was no information on if construction was going to resume. When we arrived, the construction privacy screen was torn (and looked like it had been for a long time). The view was NOT of a green fabric fence, but of rusting rebars, a bench seat from a car, unused roof tiles and general construction materials haphazardly about the site. Property management said they have requested it be fixed, but did not have an update. A notice should be given to renters on the state of the fence and for the price should be fixed. You go to Hawaii to be outdoors…with the green fence it would have been okay (you can see palm trees and the mountains above the fence) but dilapidated/abandoned construction material made it hard to spend any time on the lanai or look out the windows. If VRBO would allow posting pictures I would have included a few photos. 2. More silverware and kid friendly cups need to be provided for the amount of people the house can accommodate. 3. Parking is very limited. There are only two spaces for the six units. So had to park a bit away from the unit, not horrible, but a bit annoying. The good: 1. The beach equipment was a GREAT plus: There are tons of sandcastle toys, snorkel gear for kids and adults, beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, beach towels, and an umbrella. 2. The space inside was great! Our kids enjoyed that there were two beds in their room. The table seated all of us and more, the living room/kitchen made hanging out together easy and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and spices. Having a laundry room was perfect. 3. Bicycles were a plus, we rode to the Petroglyphs and around the neighborhood. 4. The property management responded quickly to any questions we had while we were there. 5. The Beach Club and pool access are a great perk to this neighborhood. Overall, it is a comfortable house, with some great amenities. But for the price we expected to not look at an abandoned construction site.

Everything went great such a wonderful facility complex felt private but open thank you very much, and all the amenities in the house was a great help for the children and infant

Loved the neighborhood and the pool. Villa worked very well for us we really enjoyed our time together

Everything was terrific except the view out the back was of a construction site which we weren’t told about. Also there was no accommodation for travelers leaving late in day.
