Beautiful Kona Paradise
We had four adults and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! This gorgeous home is clean, well stocked and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and bbq in the evenings. I was up before the sun to sit outside and wait for the birds to wake up. Sarang has a great list of things to do and places to eat on the island. I kept a copy in the car and it was so helpful. I also had to reach out to Sarang about the waterfall in the pool and got an immediate response. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hope I can. 10/10! Thank you Sarang!

Great location, amazing home
This house is perfect for a small group of friends/family. Location is within walking distance to magic sands! Docked a star due to the rock hard mattress located in the Ohana suite - felt like a box spring with no cushion on top. Otherwise perfect home

The house was quite lovely, and had plenty of space for all 7 of us to spread out. It was a little warm because of no ac, but that wouldn’t stop us from renting it again if we ever went back to Hawaii! Would highly recommend!!

Wonderful home for families, friends
We rented this quiet neighborhood home over a year in advance and very much enjoyed our stay. We found it quite walkable to local swim and snorkeling spots and restaurants—and for good exercise, the 1.5 mile walk to the nearest grocery store. Appreciated that the house was well-equipped with everything from kitchen gear and beach/swim/snorkeling stuff to board games, laundry detergent, paper towels and toilet paper, condiments, and basic kitchen goods. The beds are great, the outdoor spaces glorious, and the sunsets each night are forever memories. This is the very best in VRBO-ing, harkening back to the glory days when you were trusted in someone's home (and not a sanitized, for-profit only short term rental with one roll of toilet paper to get you started). We would have appreciated just a couple more indoor towels/washcloths, and it would have been great to not have to deal with multiple people trying to keep track of two house keys (a lock with a key code is the way to go!). We were very grateful for the local advice the host kindly shared with us in advance, and we found the Big Island's offerings to be plenty entertaining for our ~10 day visit. Would not hesitate to recommend this stay!

Gorgeous place to stay
The property was beautiful & in a great location. Our only trouble we ran into that made us have to contact the property management company was the 2nd night (Monday)- my mother-in-law came face to face with a poisonous centipede. My husband went down to the Ohana suite & killed it for her, then she slept on the couch upstairs. We called the property management company the next day & they said they wouldn’t be able to send out any pest control until Friday- the day we leave! The toilet & bathroom sink in the Ohana suite could use an update & there was water pooling on top of that fridge. Both kitchen sinks were awesome! There isn’t air-conditioning in the main house, but with open windows with screens & fans, it stays pretty nice for the most part. We followed a lot of the owners’ island suggestions. Some were hits & some were misses. Some of that I think was more just based on the natural elements. The nearby beach- Magic Sands- was in the “No sands” stage the whole time we were here, but we all enjoyed what we ordered at Magic’s Grill. We made the drive to Makalawena Beach & it was quite an experience! It scratched up the bottom of our rented minivan 😬 & caused a lot of white knuckles. Of all we tried, Kua Beach was our favorite. Thank you for all the tips! Would definitely rent this house again. Heather

This house was absolutely perfect. Our family is not high maintenance and focus more on functionality. This place was comfortable, large, and had many many perks. The pool, pool toys, and snorkeling gear. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could need and more. The walk to magic sands beach is super quick. No concerns, complaints or otherwise for this house. Host replied super quick to questions. Book it now! You will not be disappointed.

Overall, the house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, pool floats, and basics. It was very comfortable but the mattresses could be replaced. The ceiling fans in every room were wonderful but air conditioning for the bedrooms would be a big plus as it did get very hot at night. I would recommend the house because of its size and amenities.

Relaxing Home
My husband and I along with our daughters and their spouses stayed in this beautiful home for 10 days. The house is very lovely with good breezes. My husband and I stayed in the Ohana room which had air conditioning but the upstairs was also very comfortable. We used the pool more than I anticipated and it was great. The house was well stocked and the supply of snorkeling and beach gear was impressive. We are most meals on the lanai as well as our morning coffee. Sarang was very quick to respond to questions and provided helpful information for planning the trip. This was one of the nicest houses we have rented through VRBO and I would definitely recommend it. Everything about the stay was relaxing.

Perfect family reunion holiday
My husband and 2 kids (ages 8 & 5) who live in Australia met up with my sister and cousins (who each had an infant) from the East Coast USA and stayed in this house together for a week. It was magical. The house was so well equipped for us, including lots of useful baby gear, beach toys, pool floaties, snorkel gear and more. My kids were in the pool at least 3 times a day, and we loved walking down to Magic Sands beach as well (where we got to swim with turtles!) We loved the cafe/restaurant on the beach and had dinner and breakfast there several times. The house was very comfortable, everything was as described. We were so greatful for all the condiments, spices and pantry items that were in the house. It is so annoying to have to buy all those things just for a one-week stay. We loved the adorable green geckos crawling everywhere and made great use of the outdoor shower. It was a perfect week.

Wonderful!
The yard and pool are lovely. The house is spacious and clean. Well equipped kitchen and barbeque. Lots of extras like condiments, spices, coffee maker, individual fans as well as ceiling fans. We had 8 adults and 2 children, 2 and 6 who loved the pool every morning and lots more times throughout the day. The extra space in the apartment below for naps and early bedtime was perfect for the children. We brought a baby moniter to keep them safe when sleeping without us. Of course Mom and Dad joined them at night! Lots of pool toys and flotation items. Snorkeling gear was plentiful. We loved the waterfall in the pool! Easy walk to shoreline and beaches. We brought a foldable wagon which United Airlines let us check for free as luggage at the airport. We used the wagon to walk to the beach and for Volcanoes National Park in their paved areas. Bbq often with Costco meats. Tight fit with 2 cars in the garage, but it worked well. We enjoyed the gecko guests that visited us each day and the amazing chirping of birds every morning! Sunsets were beautiful right on the back porch and at Magic Sands Beach. The owners were easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions we had. The book provided with information and things to do was very thorough and helpful. Our week long stay was amazing and we wish it could have been even longer!

This property was great for our adult and teen family of 6. Very relaxing and spacious. Sunsets were beautiful, we loved the little green gecko, natural ventilation was fine. The location was good from airport, shopping and quick drive to snorkel beach. About 8 min.walk to White Sands Beach. The private pool was a nice addition, a bit chilly this time of year, but usable. The owners had put together a super informative booklet of activities/locations of the island. Great communication. Overall this well-stocked property was greatly enjoyed by our family.
