Beautiful Pool with Stunning Ocean and Sunset Views

10/10 Excellent

"Pool was great and easy check out information. Only thing was it got a little hot in the mornings due to the sky light in the master bedroom. Other than that was a great stay for the family."

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

10/10 Excellent

"Went there everything is beautiful but the most amazing thing is the people!!!!!"

Kailua Kona, Home between the beaches & Kona town, 10 min from airport.

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and very clean. Located close to the beaches and downtown Kona."

Luxurious Makai Villa with Pool and Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"Couple maintain items like fan in kitchen, Lite coming from up the steps into home needs to stay on longer.Need to state that there is a hill that you need to park on and go up, also need to list stairs into the property. Stove needs to be relabled and washer was difficult to use. Could only use bluckly.Pool was excellent and to be able to use beach items was great.All extra stuff available in pantry was great.Use some leave some is a great way to work.Thank you had a great time"

HALE LIO KAI: GORGEOUS HOME WITH POOL, HOT TUB & STUNNING OCEAN/SUNSET VIEWS

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had an extraordinary stay at this beautiful home on the Big Island! From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and welcomed. The house is thoughtfully designed, beautifully decorated, and had more than enough space for our entire family to relax.One of our favorite touches was all of the beach amenities that were provided. Having beach towels, boogie boards, and other beach gear available made our days at the beach so easy and enjoyable. The location is also fantastic—it's conveniently close to the airport and just a short drive to several amazing beaches.The pool, hot tub, and oversized hammock were truly the cherry on top of an already incredible stay. After long days of exploring, it was so nice to come back, relax, and unwind, and my oldest son especially loved spending time in the hammock.The only suggestion I would offer is that adding window treatments in the kitchen would be helpful. During sunset, the afternoon sun shines directly into the kitchen, making it quite warm while preparing dinner. Shades or blinds would make an already wonderful space even more comfortable.Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-equipped, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay on the Big Island. Mahalo for helping our family create such wonderful memories—we can't wait to return!"

STVR Home - Kona’s Cozy Retreat - 4Bd/3Bath/Sleep 12/Pool with AC

10/10 Excellent

"This home is up on the hillside above the airport. It is a very convenient location and we appreciated the cooler temperature. We only turned on the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night. The ceiling fans throughout the house worked well to keep the house comfortable throughout the day. The house is very clean and well stocked. The kitchen has just about any condiment you need stocked in the refrigerator or cupboards. The pool is salt water, so very nice on your skin and refreshing. Our kids enjoyed it every afternoon. We had one small issue with plumbing in the bathroom and sent a text to the owners. Anna immediately responded and said they would be over shortly to fix it, which they did within an hour. It was so nice having the owners be available and prompt. Anna even brought us mangos from her garden. The layout of the house was perfect for our 3 generational family and we wouldn't hesitate to rent the home again next time we visit."
