Our extended family loved this property. Everything about it was perfect for us. Grandparents, two daughters and son in laws, five grandchildren. Each family had a place for themselves, plenty of bathrooms, great beach access, abundance of beach toys and chairs. Kitchen was perfect for all our cooking needs, thanksgiving dinner, birthday cake. I may delete this and write a mediocre review so we can have a good chance of getting this house again. Only drawback was stickers on the path to the beach from the trees. Truly our little piece of paradise.

The house is well equipped with great access to a beautiful beach. The house also has nice plantings and good privacy. If I stay there again I shall deal directly with Lelani the realtor not though Vrbo. The beach itself is sandy and picturesque but is often crowded during the day. In the early morning and evening it is quiet. Morning and evening are the best times for snorkeling.

Pictures do not do this place justice...the location and having private access to the beach is amazing! Waialea Bay is gorgeous! The beach house is well stocked and very comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Its a beautiful place. We weren't disappointed. The beach is very peppered with large trees that lay on the sand, so not a typical beach, but it is RIGHT outside your front yard!

As always this was the perfect house for our extended family. It is such an easy comfortable place for all of us -from 4 year old to 77 year old - to be and to enjoy the area.

We brought our entire family to the Great Island, including 3 under the age of 3! This property is like staying at your own boutique hotel. The kitchen is definitely the most well stocked of any property we have rented in the past. The bath towels and beach towels are plush and plentiful. We all so enjoyed walking across our yard right to the beach and into the ocean. We liked this property so much that we already checked the calendar for this week next week and alas...it is already booked.

I'm always hesitant to let people know about Waialea Bay, but anyhow... Lalamilo is a wonderful house. Besides its amazing location, it has tons of style and is incredibly comfortable. We loved it and only wish we could have stayed longer. That, and it would have been pretty cool to be like the photos in the home that show folks arriving by sampan in the 1940s. Must have been heaven. It still is.

Great time!! The accommodations were open and spacious. The best supplied place we have ever stayed. Steps to the beach. Lots of beach toys. Thank you Leilani

The accommodations and location were excellent! We had quick access to the beach and plenty of space inside and outside of the house to rest, relax and spend time together. The three bedrooms in the house, as well as the cottage, provided comfortable and private space for each of the four couples during our one-week stay. Leilani’s response to our few questions was timely. You can’t beat this great house and location!

This is a pretty special property. Enough space for a large group to sleep and convene, and many conversation zones. The beach access is incredible. To hop out of bed and walk a few steps out of the gate into the water is truly priceless.

Just can't beat the location on the whole island and that's what you are paying for. It's not the 4 seasons, so don't expect that. Expect peace, tranquility, all the necessities, but no A/C. There was a TV (it was covered) and I didn't even notice it until we were leaving and I'm glad the kids didn't either. The trees on the beach negate the need for an umbrella. Snorkeling in the area is very good, not as good as 2step though , but the fish here including parrots and triggers of all sorts are huge. I'm not sure why they are so big here, but it's certainly cool. Leilani, the property manager and all the cleaning staff were so nice. If you want luxury, this is not your place. If you want to escape and enjoy nature and can handle no A/C this place is heaven on earth. We spent 3 days at Disney Auluni and although the kids loved it, I call it disney hell. What a change of pace to come to this great house where it never got loud other than some occasional wind and the waves. I really want to come back.

Great location right on beach and old Hawaii charm Tons of room for a big family and close proximity to Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea hotel and beach

We loved this house so much. Clean, well cared for, right on the most beautiful beach.

Lalamilo is everything you would want for your stay on the big island! I would say the best thing about the house is that it is right on the water. Coffee on the beach in the morning, the kids snorkeled and swam in the waves, evenings on the beach watching the sunset, and listening to the waves at night was heaven. The house itself has fabulous amenities. The kitchen and living space is wonderful, large deck with umbrellas and grill, lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, and a large yard to play games. It felt very much like home. The location is also great - not only close to the airport but also close to the two most beautiful beaches on the island (Hapuna and Mauna Kea). We walked on the trail to Hapuna every morning. Also a short drive to popular restaurants, shopping, and grocery shopping. I highly recommend Lalamilo!!

Just finished a week at the Lalamilo Beach House with extended family. The kitchen/dining/great room is spacious and well stocked. The bedrooms are comfortable, though two showers were not clean and we cleaned them again. All the rooms have ceiling fans and screened windows, good for air circulation, but didn't keep wasps or roaches out! It was also very warm during our vacation time and most nights sleeping was a problem because of the heat. The guest house which can sleep 3 people, has another kitchen and large bath is VERY warm. Here the wasps were worse, though we did call management and they sprayed and cut down palm fronds where the critters were living. (Maybe this could have been done before guests arrived.) There is no functioning TV in the Guest House, though it's ready for DVD's but bring your own as none are available on the property. Also because of poor signage at midnight our son was awakened with a lost tourist shining a flashlight in his face. Guest safety should be improved!!! All this said, the beach is beautiful , very swim friendly and there is some snorkeling. The sunsets are remarkable and there are chairs and snorkel gear for all to use.

For the second time my family and I have stayed at Lalamilo and once again it became our home. The warmth and beauty of the islands surrounds you and the layout of the home enable all of us to stay in the same place comfortably. The great room and kitchen allows us to cook and eat together and the yard which extends out to join the beach allowed the children to be back and forth easily to the beach. We will definitely return!

My family stayed at the Lalamillo house over Thanksgiving weekend 2015 where 44 of our closest friends and family celebrated our exchange of vows. The house was perfect for both the family who was lucky enough to call it home for the week (5 adults & 4 little ones) and the wedding. We loved waking up in the morning, enjoying coffee on the beach, a morning snorkel or stand up paddle, sight seeing during the day, and then coming back for more beach time. Sunsets are magical here! The beach, just steps away, has so much to offer including great snorkeling, shade, some gentle waves, a nearby walking path! The house is luxurious and has awesome amenities! And you really can hear the waves crashing from all the rooms in the house. The space is functional, comfortable, and authentic. I can't recommend this place enough. Don't hesitate! The photos don't do it justice!

This review is much delayed, since we stayed at Lalamilo in January -- but not because we didn't have a fantastic time! We had 11 people from 3 generations -- ages ranging from 9 to 70-something. Never having been to the island before, we had no idea that we would be on one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast. We were there for a week and never ate a breakfast or dinner out -- grilling on the lanai every evening, supplementing with extras prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Sunsets on the beach were wonderful. Leilani was always available for whatever questions we had. Would love to go back.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week on the big island, staying at the Lalmillo house. The house is so close, in fact literally on, a beautiful sandy beach, and right on Waielea bay where we were able to snorkel, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, and play in the surf to our hearts content. The location truly makes this a unique location, as we were able to spend time on the beach, then run back to the house for lunch or naps, and then back to the beach when we felt like it. The sounds of birds and the waves were a wonderful backdrop when we were eating on the deck. Leilani was great and responsive in coordinating our stay and helping us plan our vacation. We would love to return. Thanks again, Clint and family

What a fantastic place! Lalamilo Beach House was the perfect setting for our family vacation! Just pack a bathing suit and go now! Gracious space for sleeping and hanging out. The kitchen worked great for cooking for a crowd. We spent most of our time on the beach and the fabulous deck! The coral reef right out in front of the house hosts a treasure of tropical fish and the gear is provided. Leilani was delightful and so helpful. I highly recommend this piece of paradise!
