Excellent home for four adults and two kids. Well stocked and incredible sunsets every night. I liked the location, up a bit on the mountain but close to everything - 5 min drive to Mauna Kea resort and the Westin. I recommend paying the fee to have the option to use the resorts - Mauna Kea resort beach exceeded expectations, not overcrowded. I would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Beautiful home with great pool/spa and ocean view-perfect for our family of nine.

This home has everything a family needs for meal preparations, pool fun and beach toys with a wonderful beach just minutes away. The bathrooms are well stocked as well. It's in a great location and we truly enjoyed our early Christmas family gathering on this beautiful island. Adriana was very helpful and we highly recommend this vacation home.

This is a beautiful property inside and out! The views of the sunsets and golf course are lovely. Fun seeing the goats on the course. Pool and Jacuzzi were a plus and access to the 2 resorts kept us all busy and relaxing. All 9 of us loved this property!

Exceeded our expectations!

Absolutely everything about this property is first class: the home itself; the view; the resort; and the property manager. Adriana was extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay. As difficult as it is to leave the amenities of the house, be sure to spend time at the resort too. The restaurants, beach and pool are amazing. This was a fantastic family trip and I would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect home for our family's first visit to the island. All 8 members absolutely loved the sunsets and daily beautiful views from the lanai. The spacious home was clean and well-stocked. Adriana welcomed us when we arrived and was helpful with our questions. We would love to return someday soon!!

A Week In Paradise

This home is beautiful and very well equipped with everything that we needed. We loved that we had access to the beach club at The Mauna Kea. However, be aware that The Mauna Kea is undergoing a huge renovation and there is a lot of noise during the day. The kitchen is very large, we were able to have a chef come in and cook for us a few nights while there. The backyard is very nice with a beautiful pool. I highly recommend.

View to die for

Situated on a golf course above the ocean with a great view. Beautiful home with well equipped kitchen and small pool and jacuzzi. Beds comfortable and large smart tv in living room but standard tv in bedrooms. Air conditioning control in each bedroom worked well. Shower in master bedroom required 5 minutes for hot water. Garage contained owners car and could not be used. Property well maintained. Adriana responsive to questions.

Perfect Pad in Paradise

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The house was exactly as described and portrayed, if not better. The floorplan is open and perfect for families. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and bed extremely comfortable. The house is beautifully appointed with furniture and art that compliments the home and is fresh and updated. The kitchen is well stocked for those that enjoy cooking. We had everything we needed to cook delicious meals throughout our stay. It is clear the owners take pride in their home which says a lot. The property manager was great to work with - very professional yet warm and friendly. She provided us with great recommendations prior to our stay and met us at the property at check-in to fully acquaint us with the property which was very helpful. The view is impeccable and we watched numerous jaw dropping sunsets from the pool and patio. It is wonderful to have access to the hotel amenities as well but we found ourselves drawn to hanging out at the home. We will definitely be returning and look forward to enjoying this property again.
