Spacious, newish, well designed, well equipped, well stocked. We wanted for nothing. Better than advertised. My wife calls it amazing. Couldn't get our grandkids out of the pool & spa except to go to the beach. No one wanted to leave. We'd return again an eye blink. Wonderful home to enjoy a Big Island vacation.
This propert is stunning! Walking distance to both Hapuna and Mauna Kea resorts. The home is fully equipped with everything we needed to begin enjoying our stay immediately! The gourmet kitchen,beautiful pool and spa, par 3 golf course, outdoor grilling and dining area, as well as the beach chairs, snorkel gear and boogie boards provided everything we needed to fully enjoy our time with our kids and grandkids. Highly recommend this property!!
The Hawaiian Elegance property exceeded my family and my expectations in every manner. The check in process was smooth and easy. The directions provided ahead of check in were perfect.This property is amazing in many ways from large items like the pool/spa down to very minor details like bathroom appointments. The property is clean and luxurious in every manner.My guests were overwhelmed with the property landscaping, home furnishings, kitchen furnishings and beach equipment. The home was extremely comfortable and proved the be the perfect setting for my family to celebrate my wife's birthday.If I ever return to the big island of Hawaii, I will return to this property.
Wow! We've stayed at a lot of nice VRBO's, but this one has been the best. So clean! The maintenance/cleaning staff and landscaping crew has this house in wonderful condition. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor cooking/eating space was used every night. We will definitely be back!
The property is beautiful and facilities are great. Nice big private pool ! The management is very professional and we enjoyed our stay ! 5 star experience
