Beautiful view snd great location to lovely beaches. Very nice decor and thoughtful supplies on hand for dining and cooking! We will return for sure! Loved the accommodations!

This property is well equipped for large family vacations, covered lanai with comfortable furniture, we spent most of our time outside, we would rent this property again. Views of ocean and sunsets are spectacular, short drive to beaches, loved the birds singing in the morning.

Two of us stayed at the house 4 nights in early December. It is in a quiet area, not many neighbors and few cars. The house was well set up for 2 people and probably more although we didn’t see the other 2 bedrooms. There were quite strong NE winds at the time but having the lanai on 3 sides made it possible to be outside as much as we wanted, whether for reading, cooking, star gazing. Ali, the manager made booking and access very easy, she was friendly and responded right away to any questions. Our damage deposit was returned very promptly. The views from the lanai are spectacular and we found it very easy to spend time outside. It is an easy drive to beaches, Hawi, Waimea and the macadamia nut factory and we thought that driving a little to go for a nice walk was preferable than walking from the property, which only gives 2 choices: uphill or downhill. The owners have set up a Netflix account for renters and the WiFi works well. Very positive about this property and would definitely rent again.

This is a home. We felt privileged and honored to spend time in this gracious, comfortable place. When I booked this place I had no idea of what to expect from its location. It was our first trip to Hawaii. At first we missed the lushness of other parts of Hawaii but soon we realized how fortunate we were with this choice.. So many wonderful places are within an easy drive. The views from the lanai are amazing, day and night. The house is decorated with taste and beauty. The kitchen is fully equipped and we made great meals. The house could use a few more fans, but otherwise we had everything we needed. Ali Blackmore was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. I can only hope we are lucky enough to stay here again some day. Loved it!

Property has fantastic ocean views and a great wrap-around deck. Very relaxing!

The house is splendidly isolated on a huge hillside overlooking the ocean and Hulalaulai! Fantastic wraparound porches maximize the view. We were there for Hurricane Lane , so we know the house stands up in 70 mile per hour winds. The house is modern and well-appointed and the kitchen was terrific for cooking our meals. The bedding was wonderful. For our stay, due to the aftermath of the hurricane, it was cloudy and did not have good sunsets however that kept the house tolerable without a/c in the August heat.

Property was easy to get to and looked just like the pictures online. Furnishings, cleanliness, host flexibility and reachability, location and views were all better than expected. Ali Blackwell is a wonderful host. Findings to note: Wildlife was abundant (birds, small mammals, lizards, etc.), no A/C in the house but with all the windows open at night A/C was not needed, great proximity to popular beaches yet still "away from it all", romantic for a honeymoon getaway, if vog advisory is present during your stay the view might be impeded, abundant information located in a book in the house ready to answer any question you could have, strong winds are common in this area.

Reasonable price, view of the ocean and three bedrooms were what I was looking for in a rental. All three expectations were met. What I didn’t expect were the beautiful starry nights, the gorgeous sunsets, awakening to birdsong, and the peaceful surroundings. The house itself was roomy and comfortable, especially the beds. Kudos to the owner and manager.

The house was great, clean, spacious and had everything we needed including sand toys and beach chairs. The view from the lanai is amazing and a great way to start the day. It's also close to my favorite beaches: Mauna Kea and Beach 69 next to Haupuna. Ali was also super helpful and responsive. All in all great experience.

This property was nicely decorated, well appointed and felt like a home. Thank you and we will return next year without a doubt. Lisa and Randy

Our family of four spent a very comfortable three nights here and really enjoyed the views from the deck! The kitchen is pretty well stocked which made it easy for us to make dinner two nights during our stay. We also appreciated the beach equipment in the garage. My daughter loved looking for geckos on the house (hint: check by the front door and garage at night with the outside lights on!). Overall we were very pleased with our stay!

Great place, set up and ready for an easy stay, a relaxing and convenient spot with an incredible night sky.

This house is truly one of the most impressive place we stay in the Big Island Hi. We get to experience the natural wonder of the Hawaiian Desert. Desert? We didn't expect that at all. We woke up every morning to a beautiful view of the Mauna Loa mountain, blue sky, sparking ocean with a gentle cool breeze in the morning then saying good bye to the day with a beautiful sunset. The house is spacious, clean, and very comfortable luxury furnitures. The location is far from tourists, grocery, and convenient amenities... trade off for its natural beauty. We recommend it!!! Ali is so wonderful to work with...thanks for a wonderful stay.
