We loved our stay in the big house at Simon and Lisa's VRBO in Kohala Estates. Very well provisioned, clean, quiet, private, great location, and the sunset views from the deck were amazing. Simon and Lisa were friendly and helpful, but gave us our privacy. The wrap around deck was great - nice views no matter where you stood. We even saw whales breaching in the ocean from the west deck - lovely! We had everything we needed and then some. The beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards were welcome extras. No air conditioning was a plus (we dislike it) as the breezes and elevation made it very comfortable in the house. We didn't want for a thing - this place had it all. If we could give it ten stars, we would. We will definitely return!

Excellent overall value at an elevation cooler in evening and less bugs :-)

This was our second time staying here. We love the location, which is close to Kohala coast beaches and offers beautiful ocean and sunset views from the home itself. The house is clean, quiet and has everything we needed (full kitchen, washer/dryer, coolers and boogie boards to borrow). The owners are easy to reach with any questions - thank you for another great stay!

This property has amazing views of the ocean located up on the hillside away from the touristy areas, but still close enough to get to the beautiful beaches on the big island. House was fully stocked with everything needed and more. We enjoyed sitting out on the back patio in the mornings when it was cool. The house does get quite warm in the afternoons and evening we opened up all of the windows throughout the day and night to allow any breeze to come through to cool off, only recommendation might be air conditioning units in the bedrooms for those really warm nights. Overall, would recommend staying here felt like home, very comfortable.

We visit Big Island frequently and brought some friends with us for their first visit and a 50th birthday celebration. This place was perfect!

The location was great for beaches and parks. The ocean views were amazing. The house was clean and well equipped. The goats on the property were fun to observe. Thanks for a great stay.

After really combing through all the offerings on Hawaii Island, we settled on this one. What a gem! So clean! Such views! Private and conveniently located for day trips, long or short. We were far enough from the main action on the island, but close enough to see it all. It was the best VRBO stay we've had. The hosts were great. Communication was easy and results immediate. We woul certainly recommend this place, as well as stay there again. Mahalo nui loa!

We arrived late after a long and fretful travel day. From the moment we walked into this lovely house, we felt cared for and grateful. It has everything you need: a comfy bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a marvelous view, lounge chairs to watch the stars, shade all day because of the covered walk around deck, caring hosts, proximity to swimming and snorkeling beaches and towns to visit. My husband and I highly recommend this rental. We were happy for every minute we spent there.

This is a beautiful property, very quiet, great view, very nice owners. I liked everything about it except for the bugs (so plentiful, including wasps which I found inside) and the lack of air conditioning, it really is just too hot to rely on fans. The geckos were okay with me, but they do poop everywhere and that would have been good to know ahead of time.
