We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during our time on the Big Island. The home was absolutely amazing. The two bedroom suites made our stay very comfortable and the home is stocked with almost everything you could possibly need. The home was also very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and the ability to go to the resort on the property to spend time on the beach was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again. It doesn’t disappoint.

This property was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. The home was well appointed and had beautiful furnishings. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The pool and outdoor area offered a great view to the ocean and we really enjoyed the outdoor feel of the home in beautiful Hawaii. We purchased the amenities package and it was well worth it! Access to the both hotels was great for my family. Fantastic home we would definitely choose to stay at again.

Our family (grandparents, parents, and kids) loved this house and it made our whole trip so comfortable. This is easily the most well appointed and well supplied rental we’ve ever stayed in. It truly feels like a house that is meant to be lived in, rather than one that has been furnished and stocked for short term rentals. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you could need (even a knife sharpener!). The pool, hot tub, and pool deck were so comfortable and relaxing. And the outdoor nature shower….i never want to be without it. I cannot recommend this property more highly.

We just returned home from our fourth stay at Waiululua 343. When we arrived and walked in the front door, my youngest grandson declared "We're home," a declaration shared by all of us. The home is in a great location, is super comfortable, and has what is probably the best kitchen I've ever found in a vacation rental. I've already booked our stay for next year.

This is the second time we have stayed here. Barbara and her team are the best. Very proactive communication. And this place… the view is unbeatable. The house is clean and well equipped for cooking (which we do a lot here). And access to the Mauna Kea is fantastic but you go home to lots of space.

If what you wanna do is golf, scuba dive, relax, eat fish, and hang out then I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Quiet location with all of those things nearby. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and hope to come back whenever possible.

The space was beautiful. It had all the comforts of home, and a beautiful view. There was lots of beach accessories. Kitchen was well stocked. Would have been nice to have a few more coffee cups, but we just ran a couple more loads through the dishwasher to get us what we needed. The shared pool was fantastic! The pool was perfect for doing laps in the morning and then topped it off with a soak in the hot tub. I never went in the afternoon, but had heard from others that the umbrellas were broken and couldn’t be used, so just plan to take your hat and do some pool dips to cool off. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely come back.

We loved our stay. Plenty of room, great outdoor space. Some road noise, but everything else made that a super minor issue. We would definitely stay there again.

Patricia's property is immaculate, spacious and boasts stunning sunsets from the balcony. The kitchen was well appointed with staples and plenty of cookware. Having three bedrooms and three bathrooms was lovely but two of the shower heads had 'directional issues' and sprayed every which way but down, so we were only able to use one shower. Like many folks renting their properties on VRBO this one sits in a resort community that requires additional fees for golf, beach access, pickleball, tennis, etc. but this is an optional additional cost for guests and we didn't need it. We still had access to a pool and fitness center and quite frankly Hapuna Beach is a mile down the road and is free to the public. Overall we had a lovely stay and enjoyed all the activities this area has to offer. Thank you Patricia, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The hot tub and pool can be heated! The owner has a fully equipped kitchen that is extremely well labeled for ease of use. Outdoor seating can accommodate 8-10 guests if needed. Owner is very pleasant to work with and readily answers questions beyond what is explained in folder.

We had a wonderful time at this condo. The accommodations were perfect for us and another couple! The views were magnificent and location perfect! Lots of whale watching from our deck! We used the community pool and workout facility but also utilized the Hapuna and Mauna Kea frequently. Donna was great to work with and always got back to me quickly if I had a question. I would wholeheartedly recommend this condo for your Hawaii vacation and I would definitely come back!

This is a beautiful property! The property owner and manager were very responsive and helpful. This property is perfect for adult groups because of the two master suites, and the fact that all three bedrooms have their own bathroom. The beds and bedding were top notch. The outdoor space (furniture, pool, hot tub) are very beautiful/comfortable and created the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors and watch the sunsets. We appreciated the fact that there were different outdoor seating areas as well as an outdoor dining table.We took advantage of all of the fun pool and beach gear that was available.The kitchen is spacious, well stocked and has upgraded appliances. Excellent laundry supplies and appliances.Access to the community workout facility was nice to have.This home is very, very clean and extremely well maintained (the best we have ever had in a rental). We stayed for a month so we asked for a mid-month cleaning and had an opportunity to meet cleaning staff. They were meticulous! The difficulty we had with operating the hot tub was very quickly resolved after meeting with the pool/spa guy to better understand the operating process. It worked as described after the clarification. The outdoor grill was clean and we used it several times during our stay.There are so many other "little" things that this property owner does to make this the perfect place to stay! This was a 'gem' of a find for us and we will definitely be back!

The 3 bedroom condo in the I building was the perfect for our week in Hawaii. The unit was beautifully decorated with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. Gorgeous sunset from the lanai every night and wonderful golf course views. Enjoyed the amenities at both the Mauna Kea and the Hāpuna Prince reaorts. Would definitely rent this unit again!

This property is one of the better I’ve ever stayed at if you like cooking and entertaining the kitchen was one of the best it had everything you needed, and the quality of the items were outstanding. I can’t say enough about this property. In my opinion it’s worth every penny Not only that three of the five nights we stayed. I saw the best sunsets I’ve ever seen from their deck.

This is the second time we've stayed at this property, and we enjoyed it just as much! Very comfortable and spacious, every detail thought of, easy stroll to the pool/gym, incredible views from the balcony - it's a perfect place from which a family can explore and enjoy the Big Island.

We had four adults and one very active toddler and this spot was just perfect. The views were amazing, the house nicely outfitted for conking and the onsite pool and workout room made it easy to enjoy a break during naptime! Lots of grassy areas for our grandson to run around. Patricia was very responsive and we hope to come back!
