What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Most guests rave about this resort-style community for its spacious, spotless homes and family-friendly setup. Villas and townhomes feel private and peaceful within a quiet, gated neighborhood, often with golf-course or mountain views, large lanais and, in many cases, private plunge pools in addition to the excellent community pool complex with a lap pool, hot tubs and fitness center. Kitchens are exceptionally well equipped, and garages are typically stocked with beach gear, boogie boards, snorkel sets, coolers, bikes and even baby gear, making it easy for multigenerational groups to settle in. A standout perk is access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club—calm waters, cabanas and great snorkeling—plus quick drives to top beaches like Hapuna, Mauna Kea and 49 Black Sand.

Location earns high marks for convenience: Foodland Farms, cafes and resort restaurants are nearby, walking trails abound, and many guests use bikes or a golf cart around the resort. Check-in is smooth, instructions are clear, and hosts/property managers are widely praised for fast, friendly communication and quick fixes when needed. Layouts with multiple suites and ample bathrooms make it especially comfortable for larger families and groups; many reviewers say they’d happily return and often do.

A few recurring caveats to know: homes are individually owned, so occasional maintenance or cleanliness hiccups (a finicky grill, tired chair, or bikes needing a tune) do pop up, though managers generally respond quickly. Safety door alarms on lower-level sliders to pools are common (and can be annoying until you learn the bypass), some community pools aren’t heated, AC often requires doors/windows closed and may be set to a max cool setting, and most properties include just one Beach Club parking pass. The Beach Club can get busy and the area is a 30–40 minute drive from Kona town, so a car is recommended. For most travelers, the tradeoff is well worth it for the quiet setting, generous space and resort amenities.

Convenient to pool and beach which was great. The rooms were spacious and bedding and towels were good. The gas grill is a little dated but did work just didn’t get too hot.. The washer and dryer auto sensing did not work but we were able to work around it.Loved the aquatic tubes, masks, snorkels in garage which was pleasant surprise!

Our villa was PERFECT, 10/10. It literally has everything you need for a family vacation. In the garage has life vest, beach chairs, etc and the home has utensils, plates, rice cooker, etc. we rented a golf cart to get around the neighborhood and there are 2 pools and a jacuzzi. Heidi and her husband helped us with a tv issue we were experiencing and seemed so down to earth. My family was celebrating my moms retirement and we can’t wait to return back to this specific villa again. Mahalo for everything!

Perfect house if you don’t require a view or a personal pool. The HOA pool is across the street and the beach and Hilton Waikoloa are a short drive away.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at our unit. It was clean, well equipped, and all the comforts at home. We had a party of 9 for this trip and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was a great location on the Kona side of the island close to beaches and restaurants. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again for sure! The company was great to us with answering our questions and helping us last minute when the original unit we rented sold and was no longer available for us, they fixed us up and didn’t leave us panicking trying to find somewhere to stay. They were very helpful!

We stayed at Ka Milo 119 for 10 days with our family. The home was well equipped for a family and was great as well for our toddler grandchild. It was very clean, with plenty of bedding and towels not just for the bathrooms but for pool/beach as well. The garage had bikes, paddleboards, beach chairs/umbrellas, snorkel gear and sand toys and much more. The kitchen was stocked with seasoning and all the necessary cookware for family meals. Even though this is a duplex, the sound is so quiet. No noise from the neighbors at all. Check in/out was a breeze. Only a few minor improvement suggestions...the back lanai is big and comfortable but but the west sun in evenings makes it very hot. A shade would be fantastic to better enjoy the evenings. The baby gate was not latchable and needs to be replaced. More cleaning supplies like glass cleaner, lysol multipurpose and a few dish rags would help for clean up. The short driveway is a tad inconvenient but the rental Jeep Compass we had fit fine and also allowed for our larger Jeep Cherokee to be parked in the garage with the golfcart. We would definitely stay here again! Krish was so responsive and helpful. 5 stars for sure!!! :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ve done a lot of vacation rentals around the world and this is top quality. The photos don’t do it justice. Beautiful doors opening to the back patio. Great open layout for a family with 3 kids. Easy communication and check-in. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have 3 ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked, though we didn’t cook much. The central air worked well when needed. It was easy to park in front of the garage, with access to snorkeling gear, chairs, sand toys, etc. We enjoyed the pool. The beach access with parking and dining/ drinks right there at Napua are the best amenity. The beach is a beautiful, calm, white sand beach with protected snorkeling. It’s a short walk from the Fairmont for dining. There’s a great grocery store and area with restaurants close by too. The community is quiet and calm. It was a very relaxing stay and we can’t wait to go back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came to the big island for a large family trip. This house was great for our needs, enough room for everyone. The resort amenities were nice, snorkeling was great at the beach club, and the fact so much beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, coolers, boards) was available to us was very helpful! House was clean, well kept, and provided everything we needed to cook large family dinners.

Endless Summer Villa was perfect for our vacation. We had one group interested in diving and snorkeling and one group interested in the beach and pool. At this location, it is easy to get to any of these activities. The layout of the kitchen and dining table provided a good place for us to enjoy breakfast before leaving for our adventures. The outside patio was perfect for relaxing and/or enjoying a family dinner. Everyone enjoyed having a pool at the house. The 11-year-old boy had his gaming area for down time. The family room had seating all of us to watch a movie. The gym is a nice bonus. The property is well maintained and everything worked in the home. Management was very helpful and responded very quickly to the few questions I had. Foodland, the local grocery store, is nearby and well stocked. The owners and crew did everything right to make it a nice vacation.

We had a great stay at both the Daydream Villa and Serenity Villa at Kamilo. there were 21 of us so it took both properties which were just across the street from one another.Both homes were beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was great for grabbing, coffee, groceries and easy access to the nearby beaches. Communication with property managers was easy-any questions were answered quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Just the right amount of space for this family of 4; in fact some extra space with the 2 living rooms. We loved how there was the spaces for family togetherness; but also the spaces for individual time. (Appreciated by both teens and both parents). Also loved having the capability to make meals if we wanted to. Both with regards to appliances as well as the cookware available to us. Overall - it was a gem. Lucky to have found this place that was perfectly suited for our family. Note: Any photos shared here with this review, were taken while at this property. Views from either pool level or from 2nd level balcony.

This property was gorgeous! The house, the grounds, the neighborhood setting, was just perfect for our three families. It's a two minute walk from the house to the neighborhood pool and hot tub (which were beautiful) and was a wonderful way to end our beach or volcano days. This house is conveniently located to several beautiful beaches. The kitchen was a dream to cook in. Every pot, pan, appliance, you could possibly need is provided. Beach gear, towels, snorkels, boogie boards and two bikes are all provided. I would highly recommend this house on this beautiful island. I always expect to have some little glitch that has to be dealt with when we rent vacation homes but this house had none! It was perfect. Thank you so much Heidi and Miguel for providing such a wonderful place to stay on the Big Island!

The property was great! The home offered all the amenities we needed for 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 children. We appreciated all the extras that were provided. Yes, as other reviews said the pool alarm is annoying but more to us getting used to hitting the bypass button. Thank you to Jeff and Suzanne, you made our Hawaiian vacation memorable.

What a great home! We loved the location and it was a perfect size for our family. Having the private pool was a plus! The neighborhood has a couple of pools as well but we liked having one all to ourselves. Took advantage of the workout room which was a super short walk from the home. Also loved the backyard view. Just lovely. Resort beach was nice but there are also a few public beaches nearby which were also nice! Great location. We loved every minute.

So clean we thought we are the first to use the property. The ocean view is gorgeous. Large and comfortable for our family of 6 ranging from 5 to 63. The kitchen is stocked well. Even a waffle maker. Lots of supplies. Close to everything. Wish we could have stayed longer.

I was in awe of the actual home and the space that it is. The pool was well used and we all absolutely didn't want to leave!! There was definitely some cleaning that could have been done before our arrival but it didn't deter the fun we had!! Any issues we had were taken care of by the property manager by the next day.

We had an amazing visit, and the house was perfect for our group of 7! The kids were able to hop on the bikes and take off to the pool and to the store for smoothies & snacks. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with easy access to all several walking trails which we took advantage of each morning before starting daily adventures. We appreciated the attentiveness provide by the host. We will definitely visit again!

Wonderful house with water station, plentiful pool toys, and access to Moana Beach club, Hilton pool and the neighborhood pool and gym. The house has great kitchenware and plenty of spices. The house admin was easy to communicate with and provided clear information for check in and out. Our family of 4 really enjoyed the house and would love to stay here again!

June 2025

This house was amazing. Not only did it smell incredibly clean, it actually was. The kitchen was well equipped. The yard/pool/patio area was even better than the listing photos. The space/size of house was perfect for our family of 6 to spend time together as well privately. Not having to bring/buy anything other than food made the price well worth it. We had a minor issue with lock upon arrival which was quickly resolved with the staff of rental agency.

We stayed as a group of 10 and the house was big enough for all of us. The hosts provide BBQ, beach bikes, beach towels, boogie boards and more. There is a pool within the community that has additonal bbq pits and the locations is very walkable (foodland within half a mile) Would recommend and come back!

We enjoyed the house - it was clean and everything was in good repair. Plenty of space for our group of 8. Beds were comfortable, and it was stocked with baby/small child equipment. The kitchen had everything we need to cook all our meals. The garage had plenty of beach equipment - chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, floats, snorkel stuff (we brought our own, so I can't speak to the quality or sizes), and 5 adult bikes and one child's bike and a small scooter -- and still room for two vehicles. The property manager was responsive and helpful. We've stayed at a number of houses in Ka Milo and this was one of the best; would return for sure.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year in a row visiting the Big Island and staying at KaMilo 224, and we loved every minute of our trip. The were little hiccups (out of both ours and SRP management's control), but Mike was so wonderful handling everything that we didn't miss a beat on our vacation. He was responsive, flexible, and extremely kind. My daughter lost her sticker that she bought at the farmer's market in Waimea, and we only realized this after we left and he was able to help let her back in to find it, which she did! So it truly was a trip of little things all made better because of Mike! We would recommend renting though Shiwota always!!
