We rented this home for my husband's 60th birthday celebration, and were very pleased with the accommodations, and also so happy for the wonderful service provided by both the owner (via original vrbo chat) and the concierge, Kathleen - just very responsive and helpful, thank you! The home is advertised exactly how it is - it truly is set up beautifully. The kitchen is well-equipped, which was helpful as we hired a private chef (recommended by the concierge)...The backyard is lovely - the pool, the hot tub, the patio...all perfect. The beds are so comfortable, the owner thought of everything! We hope to be back soon...Mahalo!!!

This was our 8th trip to Big Island. We specifically wanted this area and a private pool with property that was maintained. The property and its condition met all of our expectations and the pool exceeded them! Additionally, sheets, towels and beds were all comfortable and not worn. Definitely will try to rent on our next trip. We only had 4 of us but it was nice to have all the space. The kitchen was the best equipped and appliances were all top notch of any home we have ever rented. Since we wanted to chill and we all cook it was appreciated! My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a bag of ice to the freezer! Certainly not a complaint. Sunsets were spectacular and golfers were occasional and far enough away that it was not intrusive, but occasionally entertaining! It was a true getaway. We opted not to use the resort facilities and did not regret that decision.

You've read many positive reviews and I will add mine to the list. You will NOT be disappointed in the property. It is accurately portrayed.
First, the private pool and hot tub was a delight. The adults and y 4 yo grandson loved both. There is plenty of seating, a large propane grill and a six person patio table( but you can add kitchen chairs and fit more. The view of sunset was spectacular. As advertised, it's a 180 degree view affords views of the sunset and the golden glow reflected off houses and mountains to the right. We didn't use the tiki torches as we were under a burn ban for part of our stay.
The kitchen is well stocked. There's a spice rack, two types of local honey, instapot, crockpots and an unbelievable amount of glassware and dishes. You can decorate your dining tables and bathrooms with flowers, gourds and tropical leaves from the grounds for a special touch.
The garage has many beach chairs is you go to other beaches. There are two coolers.
I highly recommend purchasing a day pass for Hapuna and Mauna Kea hotels. My son was in Honolulu first at the Moana Surfrider. Most hotels properties in Hawaii charge $100 a day for two umbrellas and lounge chairs. For the charge we had complimentary valet parking, self parking, could charge at both resorts and lounge chai8rs and umbrellas for your whole group. We preferred Mauna Kea for the servic (beach set up, complimentary NYT digest and strict warnings about any danger of the beach, as well as the beach bar)

We gathered at this well appointed property with three generations to celebrate an 80th birthday. The home is stocked with anything and everything you need. This layout is perfect to hang out, swim & sun, and also host a small birthday celebration with a private chef. The view to the ocean is beautiful and the golf course setting is peaceful. We enjoyed the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince beach amenities daily. Our favorite meal out was at the Kuleana Rum Shack in Queen’s Marketplace- delicious craft cocktails and great food.

We spent 8 nights at this home. We vacationed with my wife, daughter and mother, along with my in-laws. The house was perfect for our party of 7. We cooked in the kitchen and bbq for 5 of the nights and the place was setup perfect for it. Everything you needed was there. Excellent bbq. The house is nice and modern and spacious. The backyard is incredible! Wow. We spent so many days and evenings hanging in the backyard. It was a special gathering place, especially for the sunsets. The property manager was very responsive. We highly recommend this home. Amazing vacation!!

We had a truly lovely time at this house. We managed to fit 10 people, including 4 kids, without it ever feeling too crowded. The kitchen was well stocked, the property manager was super nice, and above all else -- the pool & view are incredible. We saw the best sunset of our lives one night. Having access to the two nearby resorts was also a big plus for the kids. That's an added cost, but was definitely worth it for us. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is stocked very well. We had 10 ladies and spent the majority of our time in the amazing outdoor space eating, swimming, and having fun. The view is to die for. We also played tennis and Pickleball at the MK and spent most of our time on the beach. I love the MK... one of my favorite beaches on Earth!

The view from the backyard will make you never want to leave. This house is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The house has everything you would need to cook and grill. High end pots and pans and great appliances.. The pillows, sheets and towels are amazing. The beach at the Mauna Kea is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. This was the prefect ladies get-away.

This property met and in some cases exceeded my expectations. The photos accurately portray the current conditions of the property...immaculate! The setting was exactly as described and the configuration of the home met the needs of my family...perfectly!
The grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the adults couldn't stay away from the lanai and hot tub!
Our stay also included the added benefit of watching the Fourth of July fireworks on Mauna Kea beach....from our lanai!
My family, without hesitation, would highly recommend this home for those wanting to relax in comfort, within a gated community conveniently located in the Hapuna/Mauna Kea resort area.

The property and location was perfect for our family, with the infinity pool, hot tub and patio, golf course and water view (and don't forge the torches), the opulent master suite and separate apartment. The house and landscaping were in top condition. Highly recommended.

Our family met for a family holiday and stayed in this amazing place. The home was clean and well stocked. It has an amazing kitchen with every tool you might need. We enjoyed having our own hot tub and pool especially in the evenings after a full day at the beach. There were plenty of beach toys and baby accessories so it would be great for a family with small kids. I appreciated the responsiveness of the property manager when we had questions.

Words and pictures can't describe what a great time we had at this property. Way above expectations. Owner has made this property so comfortable. An ideal location and all the amenities you could ask for.
Cannot say enough about property manager "Kathleen". She went out of her way to make us feel at home. I let her know of low wi-fi and low ice, she came right over with a bag of ice and pointed us in the right direction to rectify the internet problem (no more- worked great after re-boot). We had a family of 8 adults with children under 3. Cant wail to go back. Also, a nice welcome package of goodies to set the stage. They thought of everything. Thank you Kathleen and Property Owner Diana!! Well done.

Our family had the most perfect Hawaiian getaway at this property. We have been to the big island many times, have our own property in waimea, and love the Mauna Kea resort. We have high expectations and this property met everyone of them. It was perfect for family dinners and lounging with access to one of the most beautiful beaches and resorts in the world. We loved it so much that we are coming back again in 2 months!

We stayed with our four adult children. It was absolutely perfect. The house had everything we could have ever needed. The sunsets were spectacular from the wonderful infinity pool. We would recommend accessing the resorts. It was so nice to have the best of both worlds!

We had a wonderful stay. The home was sparkling clean. The pictures do not do the beautiful view justice. We didn’t want to eat out for dinner because the sunset was spectacular each evening. Plenty of room for our family of 10. Kathy the property manager was very responsive. We plan to stay again!
