I had such a wonderful experience at this property! The home was clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was peaceful and tucked away in the hills, offering quiet mornings and amazing views—yet still close enough to town and beaches when I wanted to explore.The host was kind, communicative, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel welcoming. It was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge after long days adventuring around the island.I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay on the Big Island!
We had a fantastic week-long stay at this property. The house was clean and spacious, and we especially loved the great view of the sunsets from the large living area. The kitchen was a highlight, well-stocked with plenty of utensils, bowls, and cups, which made cooking a breeze. We found the beds to be very comfortable, and the large TV was perfect for our entertainment needs. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the extra beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkeling gear that were available for use. The house stayed cool and comfortable, and we only needed to use the AC sporadically.We did note a few areas that could be improved to make the stay even better. The drainage in the master bedroom shower and sink was a bit slow. Some labels on the light switches would be very helpful, as the current lighting choices were a bit interesting. Additionally, a better quality of trash bags for the kitchen would be beneficial.A few other things to note for future guests: the neighborhood can get quite loud on weekdays and nights, so you might need to turn up the TV volume significantly to hear it.Overall, it was a great stay, and we would recommend the property.
Ryan welcomed us in person and sent us great tips for island activities, along with his property manager Sheena. They were extremely responsive. The home is clean and comfortable, and close to a great market for local foods and supplies.
I grew up swimming in the ocean in Newport Beach, later found inspiration in the desert landscapes of Palm Springs, and now spend part of the year in Kona. Along the way, I’ve built a life around things I love — home design, skiing, cooking, and even mixing a great craft cocktail. Hosting vacation rentals lets me bring those passions into the guest experience, creating spaces where people can relax, connect, and enjoy a memorable stay. Mahalo!
