The home was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, nice and clean. It’s in a very quiet part of the island which we loved. Not far from volcano and south point adventures. We had a great experience.

The house is just over an hour away from downtown Kona, which is exactly what we wanted, to get away from the crowds. If the gorgeous view wasn’t enough, the area had everything else you needed. Local cafes, grocery shops, gas and friendly people. The house itself has everything you will need, some games, beach equipment, bbq grill, full size washer and dryer, and plenty of various patio furniture to relax on. The house was clean and the property is spacious. You’ll feel like you have the island to yourself yet you’re close enough to the main road. Just a short minute drive gets you on the main road to head to your destinations. We found going to Hilo rather than Kona much more pleasurable. The drive is a bit longer, but the roads are much less curvy making the drive easy and enjoyable and you pass through volcano national park so if that is on your list of to dos, you’re only about 45 minutes away. Plus Hilo has much more to offer as far as shopping and local businesses go. But, since the house is near the southern tip, you can choose either direction with nearly the same amount of travel time. We will definitely book the house again should we return to the Big Island anytime soon!

We enjoyed our stay at this property (Dec 6-Dec 12, 2023) The hosts were in communication just before we arrived and responded quickly to the few questions we had. The home was spotless and located in a quiet remote area away from the touristy areas we had experienced previously on another island. Felt very comfortable our entire stay, and were within decent driving range of National Parks and several different types of beaches each had its character, and we enjoyed it. The view of the ocean and the night sky from the property added to the overall experience. We are already talking about our next trip and will most likely try to book the same location if it is available.Thanks, Linda and Kevin..you have a great property and we treated it with great respect and appreciation.

My mom and I stayed here for a community event we had to do near where the home was located. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it. It’s HUGE and has a lot of space for a big family. The views from each room are phenomenal and the host was very receptive and answered extremely fast anytime I messaged. We had no issues at all here and will definitely be back. Mahalo for letting us stay in your beautiful home!!
