Such a beautiful place, so hard to leave. We ended up not visiting other sites so we could continue watching the whales, dolphins, birds, waves, etc. and enjoying the well-stocked, open-air home. We had our wedding ceremony there on the cliff!!

Everything was perfect. All of our expectations were met or exceeded.

This property comes as advertised: beautiful and well-equipped. We absolutely loved it. Dan was very welcoming, easy to reach, and provided detailed instructions to assist with the trip out.

My wife and I really enjoyed your home Dan. The way you decorated, your home was just the way we would’ve decorated our VRBO. Anywhere we sat, we could watch the ocean, we enjoyed the whales the first day we got there. The secluded neighborhood was fun to walk through and talk to the neighbors. The house was in a perfect spot to visit the southern end of the island for the first time for us. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, lots of towels and we sure enjoyed the geckos sneaking into our wine glasses. :-). Will always remember this trip! Thank you so much!

This is the perfect place to get away from it all. We had stayed in Miloli’I before, just down the street, so we knew to bring supplies with us, and that the location was a bit out of the way. Which is one of the reasons we chose to stay at Rick’s Place. Ok I did forget my hairbrush and it was quite an adventure to find one. This is one of the best equipped properties we have ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything you need. I cooked daily. The relaxation began the moment we arrived. The house was decorated (we arrived Dec 23rd) with a small tree, lights and we opened the door to Hawaiian Christmas music and in time for sunset. I can’t describe how relaxing it is just to sit on the lanai and stare at the ocean or sit in the pool and stare at the ocean, take a shower and stare at the ocean or lay in bed and stare at the ocean do yoga on the lanai and stare at the ocean. The house is magical. I brought a kindle but found it more enjoyable to just grab one of the many paper books. Whales arrived on Christmas night. We had daily visits from them, a highlight of the trip. There were a few days that we had plans but decided just to stay at the house. We were there for New Year’s Eve, we watched the fireworks from the lanai. We haven’t relaxed as much on a trip in years, if ever. I am a big question asker and Dan was great dealing with my many questions and was quick with all his response. I have already been looking at the availability so I can book a return trip.

We stayed for 2 weeks and loved every moment. We have a farm in rural northern Colorado and prefer to be away from the city. This house was perfect. It felt like a true Hawaiian home. We spent most of our home time on the lanai, watching the water fireworks, enjoying the pool and hammock. Dan was super nice and wanted our time here to go well. Loved the gecko friends! Mahalo for sharing this special place!

Book Ricks Place for 10 days, was exactly as advertised on VRBO. quiet neighborhood, comfortable place to relax. Beautiful setting right on the ocean.

We had a great time staying at this house. It is so relaxing and peaceful. A bit out of the way if you are wanting to sightsee everyday, but only a little over an hour from both Kona and Volcano National Park. We spent most of our time in the pool or sitting by the ocean. We met Dan and he was a great guy. Had told him we were celebrating our anniversary and asked if there were rafts available for the pool. When we arrived, there was a bottle of champagne in the fridge and two new rafts waiting for our use. Great gestures to start our stay. Would highly recommend staying here and we are actually already looking for dates next year.
