"The pictures don’t do this place justice. Dan was great with local recommendations and definitely has a special place to stay. Definitely did not want to leave."

"We have stayed at the colony I at sea mountain in pahala twice. We absolutely love this place, the people are veey nice and make you feel at home. I love the privacy and how quite it is. Its also a 5 minute walk to the beach where you can see the green sea trutles."

"This is our second time to stay here. We loved it, and came back because it was so quiet and comfortable, and such a beautiful place and view. The yurts are well equipped and clean. The elevation makes for comfortable cool, but not cold, nights. The central sky light is spectacular at night with so many stars. It is calm and quiet and beautiful with various flowers. But it is easily accessed from Kona South Point and Volcanoes National Park. If we get back to the big island again, we hope to stay here once more! "

"Our family really enjoyed our stay at the house. The host was very friendly and gave us great advise about what to see and do in the area. "

"This house is exactly as described. Room for 8 (if 2 are thin and short or are children). The host is very communicative and helpful. The check in and check out process is very easy. There are games in the basement and the host has a whole shed of snorkels, fins, chairs, beach equipment, etc. Really great if you've come from far and obviously couldn't pack your own.Why this house might not be for you: it is rural. If you want to go to Kona it's 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. Volcanoes NPS is about 2 hours away. If you are looking for restaurants or activities, you will be doing a lot of driving. Except for a few beaches, most of them are a drive too because you're on a mountain...it's a slow, curvy ride everywhere.If you are a nervous driver or get carsick, this is not for you. The road is steeped and very curvy. My family doesn't get sick...until our last day. But it was fun to see the mongooses and wild pigs in the road. If you like long, hot showers, this is not for you. There is little water in this area...you can't drill a well into volcanic rock and there's no public water. So you are taking short showers as the host requests. Also, I don't think I ever had a HOT shower. Even if I insisted on taking a 2-minute shower before my kids, the water would get warm (I always describe it as "llama spit") but never hot. "

"As other reviews mention, it's on the south of the island. It was ideal for us, as Kona and Hilo were both in reach. Great place!"

"This entire experience was nothing short of amazing. At first I was apprehensive to live completely off the grid but after staying here I would definitely do it again. When we first arrived the host met us, gave us an entire tour of his property, including his beautiful animals as well as explaining what it’s like to live off grid. Made us feel right at home as if we had been friends a long time. The home was cozy, it does get a little cold so be prepared. The grill and fire pit was a nice touch in the evening. We only stayed one night and wish we had stayed longer. "

"Wonderful home in a wonderful location on a wonderful island. Clean, convenient, and beautifully landscaped.Perfect place to unwind and relax and perfectly located for exploring both sides of this amazing island, beaches, volcanoes, rainforest, and shopping.It was nothing less than a perfect place to stay for our vacation. Highly recommend this to any explorers like us."

"We had an incredible stay at the Beach Boys mansion. The endless ocean views and sense of peace made for an unforgettable experience. The home is beautifully maintained with thoughtfully chosen, island-inspired furnishings, a perfect layout, and plenty of supplies — from seating and lighting to a well-stocked kitchen. The pool area was a favorite, and every guest raved about the views and the super comfortable beds. The house is thoughtfully divided into separate residential areas, giving everyone a sense of privacy when needed.Communication with the hosts was exceptional — fast, clear, and super helpful from start to finish.Do note: sound carries more than you might expect in this quiet, secluded location. While we did our best to keep things low-key, the size of our group alone made it challenging at times. Guests should be very mindful of noise levels, even during normal conversations. To support future visitors, it might be helpful for the owners to consider installing a decibel monitor. We deeply appreciated the peaceful setting and wanted to do our part to preserve it.Although it’s a bit of a drive to town, that distance adds to the magic. It truly felt like we were alone on top of the world.Thank you for sharing such a special property with us!"
