The view and sound of the ocean made me feel like I was on a ship; it is so lovely! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet stay away from it all. The house was clean, had ample cooking supplies, and stayed cool from the cross-breezes and fans througout.
This home was perfect for my husband and I for our honeymoon. The views are gorgeous and every sunset is breathtaking! Great spot for fishing as well! The home had everything we needed for when we cooked. Washer and dryer in the home helped a lot! They have scuba gear for you to use, definitely took advantage of that! The bed was comfy and clean. We stayed here for 8 wonderful nights, we even brought our own small telescope to watch the sky since you can see every star possible! Also you’re welcomed by geckos every day, it was so neat!
What a wonderful place to stay! The property was so clean and the area was quiet . The views from the deck were superb and it made leaving the house for the day very hard! To swim it’s definitely challenging to enter and exit water but worth the effort ! My parents (75) were not able to get in as the terrain to enter and exit was too treacherous . My sister and I enjoyed the paddle boards and I swam everyday! Make sure to plan ahead as the drive “up the hill” is an event! We would definitely stay again - it had the island vibe we were looking for! The property manager was so helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions
Gorgeous out-of-the-way house right on the ocean. Peaceful and relaxing. Worth every penny to stay here!
It’s a beautiful open home with lots of privacy from neighbors and freedom to explore the ocean. Lovely ocean views and sounds. We mid jump in the ocean and used the snorkel equipment provided. Lots of yellow tangs, parrot fish and the Hawaiian state fish. Not ver many see urchins. Comfortable beds and a peaceful place!
You know the place is great when her husband texts the kids and says the following: Mom picked a beautiful spot for our last 7 days! We can walk 100 yards to snorkel, and the VRBO is almost unbelievable. Aloha!!!
A perfect place to relax and unwind.
We stayed 5 nights. We were aware that we needed to grocery shop before arriving and did so. However, there are always a couple of items that you are unsure if they will be left behind by previous renters such as cooking oil, butter, various herbs and spices. This after arriving we needed to pick up a few items. We went to the Oceanview Market that others had written about. We later realized that the closest markets and gas stations are actually back north. A helpful detail to know. This house is perfect for one couple. I would not want to be second couple or have a child with me. The open layout of the house is wonderful unless you are wanting privacy. With just the two of us privacy was not an issue.The kitchen could use a few more utensils such as garlic press, salad spinner, brownie sized baking pan.However, most items were there and we were able to make do and work around missing items. The snorkeling is indeed just two lots away. Although, at this time of year, you need to wait for a very calm day to enter safely. If was not until day 4 that we were able to get in. When we did, the snorkeling had a nice variety of fish and few human companions. Initially, we spent a great deal of time driving to other locations to snorkel, take historical tours, and National Parks. Near the end of our stay we discovered MilioliiBeach Park. On the weekends there is a food stand open with great food and the best prices on the island. The longer we stayed the more.
Throughly enjoyed the home for our six day stay. I'd highlight the back deck for the sunset views and the 24-7 ocean waves. We even saw a few whales as they went by (usually the hour before sunset) A great place to star gaze if you happen to be here on a moonless night. You do get used to the long winding road/drive down to the property (although it can be intimidating after dark). There was a nearly constant ocean breeze during our stay. I'd recommend opening the screened windows and slider doors for the fresh breeze to flow thru the house. Only a couple of mosquitos were encountered outside the whole week. We'd love to and plan to stay again.
Loved this location. The sounds alone transported me to a relaxed state. The road from the belt road to the property is a mountain path covered in asphalt so driving at night is slow. The drive is more than worth it. There is a beach a short drive and short hike away that can't be missed. There was one person on the beach other then me when I walked down. It was the best beach I saw on the island. The home is clean, well kept, and begs keeping the doors and windows open at all times. There are coffee farms and volcano access within a short drive on the main road. I will return.
Great location, right on the water.
This is exactly what we were looking for in our first trip to the Big Island. On the ocean and experience the lava flow from the Volcano National Park. Sarah was fantastic and super responsive. The house was amazing. We were able to fall asleep easily to the crashing waves against the rocks.
Full disclosure, if you aren't used to Hawaii roads and switch backs, please note the drive to the property may be a challenge for you but no different than the Appalachian area on the mainland.
The lanai was amazing to play cards, watch the sunset, and then the amazing night sky with so little light pollution you can take in all the constellations.
We were very pleased with our visit to the Big Island and staying at this property.
Our stay was so incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The neighborhood is very quiet and perfect for walking any time of day taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean. No whale sightings but the dolphins sure did put on a show as we watched from the expansive deck. The bed was SO comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed.
Off the beaten path. Very comfortable. Host provided good instructions and house is well equipped
Perfect location on the ocean. Private and quiet. Great Deck and access to water. Master bedroom and shower overlooking ocean is fantastic. Very clean and layout is a 10. Geikos add to the ambience. Do all your own cooking and grilling so bring food !
The house has a beautiful view, and the deck is amazing. The house was very clean. When we were there, there were lots of mosquitoes and we had to use mosquito repellent frequently. There were times that we had to go inside as we kept getting bitten even with repellent. The sunsets were amazing and despite the mosquitoes, we enjoyed staying in the house. It is far from everywhere. Shop on your way there as it is a long way to a store to get more provisions.
The primary bedroom is right off the living room and has sliding doors to the living room. It has a great view and the shower looks out over the deck to the ocean. The room itself is not very private as it has no ceiling and is open to the rest of house.
The other bedroom is on the small side and has a very comfortable bed.
The kitchen is great, easy to use and has just about everything you might want to cook. We enjoyed making dinner there.
It was a great place to spend a week and it’s a great house. Just know before you go that it’s far from everything and that there are mosquitoes!
Loved this property. The amazing views from every room of the home were amazing. Nice and secluded - just like I wanted. Had a rental car so we were still able to tour so many beautiful sights on the island.
You cannot get better views than you can with this house. As mentioned in the description, yes, it’s out of town and the drive off the main road might be awkward the first time you go down it. But once down at the house, you’ll forget all about that. If you want to just unwind, disconnect and enjoy the gorgeous blue ocean, book now.
Sarah and her team are amazing and respond in a very timely manner, if needed. They all take great pride in the property
This beach house is in a great location. The house is clean, great kitchen, 2 bathrooms with amenities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable.
AMAZING VIEWS. Our last 2 days we watched whales.
The night sky offered plenty of stars. Beach front property. We cannot wait to return.
We especially enjoyed the spectacular surf, whale sightings, and big deck overlooking the lava rocks. The rooms are large and inviting. There were a lot of little touches we appreciated—snorkel gear, coolers, beach towels, sharp kitchen knives, a good supply of basic condiments. The surf was particularly high during our stay so we couldn’t swim near the house, but we appreciated the tips about other recommended spots.
We had a lovely time, unbelievable view and location! Spotted whales and dolphins our last day from the deck! Thank you!
