It is a beautiful house. Lots of room to spread out. The sunset views were incredible! Close to great beaches and restaurants. The house could use some minor maintenance. A new dishwasher- no one wants to wash dishes on vacation. And the sliding door to the patio/pool area needs to be repaired. We still had a wonderful time and would recommend this house.

When we,11 family members, arrived at the house, we were so happy with the view we thought this is going to be a 5 star place, then we went into the house. It is so misrepresented by the pictures on VRBO. It needs so much updating inside. We had unusable broken sliding door in the north downstairs unit, no blinds to keep out sun so was so hot in the afternoon. Have to keep 3 wood entry doors locked because no latches on them to keep them closed. Windows do not close properly, so hence the big roaches coming in at night. Very large spider found in bunk bed where child slept. Lightbulbs blinking. Outlets in parts of house unusable. Air conditioning didn’t work well in one bedroom. Dishwasher shelf broken. Refrigerator rusted. The house was well stocked with necessities. The pool was sparkling and really enjoyed. Lots of patio furniture around pool, but back patio was totally unusable. The traffic was loud on the street but not a bother to us. I would still recommend this house because of the view and location, but hope owners take heed and do some much needed work. The house just didn’t reflect the amount of money we had to pay for our 6 days.

What started out as a nice family vacation, soon turned in to a horrific nightmare. There is so much wrong with this house and misrepresented. Windows are dirty, some screens were missing from windows, doors would not seal, appliances were broken and not working properly, lights were burned out or malfunctioning in very important areas, such as the main entry coming up on the south side of the house Where there was no lighting in the evening and in the house going down to the garage. The air conditioning was substandard in many parts of the house The main entry lock does not work very well. The patio area in the rear of the house was totally unusable, there was mold on the covers, covering the porch, leaves and debris on the counters and sink, there was a paver next to the porch that had a huge hole under it, it gave way and I fell in. Few sinks were not draining. The floors are filthy as was the barbecue, no brush to clean it. The listing should mention the heavily traveled and loud road between pool area and ocean. Now let’s get to the bad stuff, at every turn inside and out we were met with cockroaches, we had four separate occasions where there was a cane spider in the house, these things are huge and freaked my wife and my mother, totally out and rare but if bitten they are poisonous. “The last straw” we had a big rat getting on our counters and into the food every night, I will not go in to the graphic detail how this ended. Needs $50k to make safe and rentable

It was an amazing stay. The house could use some updating. Also, don’t leave ANY food on the counters. There must be a mouse or some critter that comes out at night and snacks. Otherwise it’s an amazing place to stay while you visit. ❤️❤️

Family had a good time. Loved the pool and pool table especially. Information sent by owner helpful. Just could not figure out the TVs. About the cleanliness. Mostly OK but the floors could have been cleaner. The 2 year old was barefoot right off and had the dirtiest feet I have seen on any child who was indoors. And, just how old is the toaster? Owner was quick to respond when I had a couple of things that needed to be taken care of. I am just not a bug person and that bothered me. Sorry Micaela (Mickey) Talbot

The home was wonderful! We enjoyed watching surfers from our deck, tidal pool across the street with so much life. The house was well stocked, a place for everyone with lots of games etc. We were welcomed with a huge fruit basket. Beaches very close and several great farmers markets. Sooo many beach toys, and we spent a lot of time in the pool! A+

Came here to celebrate daughters birthday

Our extended family stayed for a week for my daughter’s wedding. The house exceeded our expectations. It is spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped. The outdoor spaces are wonderful: everyone especially loved the pool, the afternoon sun on the patio, and eating our evening meal outside while watching the sunset. I highly recommend this rental; it is clean and well managed.

The house is in a great location with an easy short walk to the first trolley stop at the stones church. so many beach items included in the garage. The kitchen is fully stocked with all needed cooking supplies -oils, spices etc. There are 15+ beach chairs and towels. The house layout is great for families - large dining room table and t kitchen. Be sure to read the cooktop directions as it’s pretty tricky- they are in the drawer. We had quite a few run ins with large roaches — all we were able to kill. if parking on the left side driveway, let your passengers out before driving up the incline or you will bottom out the rental car. The screen doors all need new screens and or replacing. They were difficult to keep on the tracks and almost every one fell out during use. Bought lubricant to spray the tracks but the wheels on top are too worn. The window sills haven’t been cleaned in years it’s very clear to see. We had two cane spiders in the house at two different times- one on our last day of which I informed the cleaning person. She and her husband were very nice people- we met them when they came to change light bulbs. The owner was very responsive to texts when I reached out and on day 8 the maint. man came and installed a pool vacuum. Surfers parking is next to the house, busy area but fun to watch. The police were there to shoe away overnight parked cars many nights. The hedges need trimming so you can see the water. For the price, the items above need to be addressed.

3 Couples, we each had our own Suite! Owner responded immediately with handyman Ty to solve a minor issue. Home lived up to all the hype to be the perfect home for a perfect vacation to the Big Island! We are already planning another trip to this island, and to stay in this Home.

Worked well for our group, fun time was had by all.

Absolutely met and exceeded expectations. Welcoming, spacious, and comfortable are accurate words to describe this property. The fruit arrangement was a pleasant surprise. There was plenty of room for our extended family and friends. However, the main gate did not close, and was unable to close. This could be considered a necessity for a family with children.

Amazing place for us and extended family. 6 adults and 4 children ages 8 to 13. Place was large enough for everyone to have their own space..close enough to amenities ans magic sand beach. Lots of bathrooms and washing machines. Large kitchen for in home meals...

Great location, Ken (property manager) was excellent. The handyman was top notch because we needed him one night when a sink by pool developed leak (downside of house by ocean). We took an Uber several nights to Lua and several area restaurants. Pool was great! The layout was great! Value is excellent. House needs a little TLC, but I will have very fond memories of my stay on the big island because of the ability to rent a house vs a hotel.

We chose the location because we know that area very well. The house was perfectly located, and my favorite part was all of the afternoon sun on the pool. Everyone had their own space and even more important was that they had their own air conditioning and fans!! We had a fabulous vacation.

The property was everything all the other 5 star reviews mentioned. Property owners very communicative. The added availability of beach towels, sand chairs, cooler, boogie boards and other beach related equipment made our daily adventures so much fun. Thank you!

Great location. Overall, we loved the place. The pool was great. Lots of room. Kitchen was great. House may need a bit of updating. Owner mentioned some difficulty with critters. Cockroaches were present daily. They were more than a nuisance. Interaction with owner was pleasant and helpful. Great celebration for our family with some moderate problems

Overall an amazing stay. Some of the light fixtures were not working, but the view is amazing. Beds were comfortable; rooms kept cool; linens clean, soft, and cozy; kitchen well stocked; grill work’s great; pool refreshing. The house is great size for large groups with plenty of space for group gatherings, as well as enough space for some privacy.

Had 11 people from seniors to age 5 grandson. Nice place for that amt of people. Lots to do. Reason for fair review is place is a little outdated and air conditioners are not always working. Pool was fantastic. Everyone loved lt If you have a large family outing I do recommend it.

Plenty of room, nicely stocked kitchen. Beautiful pool, plenty of outdoor seating and awesome sunsets. Owner was very prompt in having bedroom air conditioner fixed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We had a wonderful time. Property is as advertised. Close to some great beaches/snorkeling spots within walking distance for us (1/2 mile to 1 mile away). Perfect for dropping off/picking up the family with the beach gear, and driving the car back to the property so that parking was not an issue at the beach. We would definitely consider staying here again.

From the moment we got here we felt like royalty. This house is absolutely beautiful and huge! My parents loved having their own separate living area and kitchen, and the kids each enjoyed having their own space. We had the master bedroom, and there is no better way to wake up. Such amazing views! The house is also in the perfect location to see the beautiful sunsets. They are absolutely amazing! The owners have thought of everything when it comes to what you need, which we were very grateful for. It was nice to have beach equipment to use when needed, and the house is well stocked. They even left us a beautiful fruit basket and goodies, which was a great welcome when we arrived. Especially since we hadn’t tried a lot of the local fruits yet. We will definitely come back again if we are able. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Entire family of 12 stayed very comfortably. Pool was the best activity. Road was a bit noisy. Privacy for 4 families exceptional. Friendly gecko’s.

We had a family of ten adults all stay comfortably with plenty of privacy. The location was fantastic and the house was well stocked with amenities. Definitely happy with our choice!

One word, Spectacular! This was our 40th anniversary, and our first trip to Hawaii and we couldn't have asked for a better place to experience the island. The house was well appointed with everything needed to cook meals and needed nothing! The house was very clean and comfortable for all 10 of us with only minor issues, ( a/c in game room wasn't working) but the repairman was on it! My wife is already complaining that we didn't stay long enough (7 day's) so we'll be going back soon and we'll surely stay here again!

We had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family; the pool was fun; kitchen was stocked so we didn't have to buy every bit of groceries too. A fun week!

We had 11 family members stay, and everyone had their own space which was wonderful and gathering around the pool at the end of the day was perfect

We had an amazing experience at this home! Beyond our expectations! Owner and staff are very communicative and efficient! We had10 adults and everyone had PLENTY of space to be together or separate, inside and out! Would definitely stay again! Don’t delay, book this one today! ❤️

Our family had such a great time. Our kids and grandkid first time in Hawaii and we’re so happy. The pool and location was the best. The separate areas for checking out was amazing. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Very nice location! All eight of us had a great time! The location with beautiful views, plenty of spaces if you want some privacy, and the private pool all helped for us to enjoy our trip to Hawaii. Only suggestion would be an investment in some new mattresses. Some are starting to be very uncomfortable for sleeping but not a deal breaker!

This was an amazing layout for families to enjoy a holiday together. Our family enjoyed the pool, games room, and patio. So glad we chose it and owner Ken was very responsive to our needs.

Wonderful place to stay for an extended family. Close by to great beaches and snorkeling adventures. Would definitely recommend this highly. Thank you
