Hawaii Family Trip

The property location is amazing, just a short 5-10 min walk to Magic Sands Beach. The pool was amazing and my 3 boys (ages 8,5,2) loved it! There were beach towels and toys at the house. The cooler was great to have on our trips to the Hilo side. Communication with the owner was great and they were super helpful.

Beautiful house with a convenient location

A gorgeous house that accommodated 8 adults, located close to the water and fairly close to the beaches. Very convenient to have 3 bathrooms. We absolutely loved that the kitchen was fully stocked and had lots of dishes to use, as we cooked for most of our meals. The pool was very relaxing after a day of exploring the island. Host was very responsive and communicated well. Would highly recommend!

Best house in Hawaii

What an amazing vacation we had, and a big part of it was this house. First of all, it was easy to get to and get in, very clean and well stocked, and the layout was perfection! We all loved hanging out on the lanai and playing in the pool when we needed a beach break, and there was plenty of beach toys, coolers, equipment galore. We will definitely stay again.

Most enjoyable

Great accommodations', Very comfortable, Randy was most helpful, and prompt to reply to questions. Home was centrally located to great beaches and shopping. Pool was well maintained. There were 10 in our party and we never felt crowded, house is very well laid out especially for larger groups. Would not hesitate to stay again.

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!

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.

Amazing Big Island Vacation

My husband and I rented this amazing property with two other couples. It was the first time visiting for all 6 of us. From the moment we booked this home we have had exceptional service. We received so much information on the area and things to do before we even arrived. Questions were answered promptly. Check in & out were easy processes. The property is in a great location. Easy access to a local beach, gorgeous sunset views and all the amenities you need. The pool is an added bonus. We can’t say enough about how much we loved our stay here. Highly recommended it.

Home away from home

This property is so cute. From the layout of the house to the cute pineapple plants growing outside there is so much character. I do have to say that this house needs a good scrubbing from TOP to bottom. The lights and beams were covered in dust and the walls were splattered. Also some home restorations like paint repairs could be done to be more pleasing on the eye. The pool was amazing. It is a salt water pool and my kids LOVED it! It was the highlight to my kid's stay. The Lanai was also greatly used! Dinner on the Lanai with the pool water feature on was the icing with every sunset.

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.

Big Island beauty (and critters)

The location is terrific, the view is even better in person. You could tell that care was given to try to include many comforts of home (bath towels, beach towels, linens, books, games, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc.) to make the start of our stay easy. The pool was lovely to relax in, though some of the tiles are coming off. We did not understand that the main home was without air conditioning so we experienced many warm days and nights when the breeze was lacking. We ended up not needing the ohana (which does have a window AC, but the area is too small to accommodate us all). Our kids enjoyed naming the plethora of geckos in the house. The mouse and cockroaches were a little tough, though. We were able to catch and dispose of the mouse (he was hiding under the fridge and stove). The home was pleasant enough, the updated countertops and sinks are a nice touch, but some things still feel a little rustic. Overall, it provided us a laid back place to land and the owners were very thoughtful in their planning and communication.

Basically loved it, only a few problems

We rented the house plus the separate Ohana unit for our family of 6 adults and 2 children because we needed 6 beds. We would stay in the house again. The house was great - very comfortable, located only a few blocks from Magic Sands - a nice little family beach - and a short drive from a shopping center with a grocery and drug store and restaurants. We could even see the sun set over the ocean from the deck. It was well-equipped for cooking, easy to do laundry, and the kids especially loved the pool. There were beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, snorkeling gear, and coolers which made our trips to the beach very easy and enjoyable. The problems were maintenance and communication. Our adult son slept on a mattress on the floor for 2 weeks because one side of the support springs on the old hide-a-bed in the Ohana unit have torn out and the owner wouldn't correct the problem. There were a few other maintenance issues such as the older sliding door screens falling off their tracks. The lack of a bed was a big problem but the other issues were minor. We enjoyed our stay and especially recommend it for families.

Perfect Family Trip

This house could not have been more perfect for our summer vacation for our family of 10. We all enjoyed the beautifully designed, very clean pool. Location was close to beach and other places we wanted to visit. Communication with owner was excellent -- we particularly appreciated the booklet sent to us before our trip that outlined fun things to do and places to see. Don't miss the tour of Mountain Thunder coffee plantation! The entire trip was a thoroughly great experience!
