Aloha,
And welcome to Maka Nui! The name means Big view which you will see when you enter the gate to our paradise. The home sits on a cliff overlooking an undeveloped and historic coastline including Kealakekua Bay and Pu'uhonua o' Honaunau national historical park. The beaches and parks below the house feature some of the best snorkeling and kayaking in the Hawaiian Islands.
The house is a spectacular 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom estate residence with 2 additional cottages. There is a great pool on a beautiful privately gated 5-acre parcel in a prime location! This property features the main estate residence with breath taking views of Kealakekua Bay and 30 miles of coastlines and perfect climate at elevation of approximately 1000 feet. All the amenities you would come to expect are here.
Including: A gourmet kitchen and beautiful wood flooring plus so much more. The primary suite has a large en-suite with an oversized tub/spa with a large walk in marble shower and is on the main level of the house.
All 4 lower guest bedrooms have en-suites also. The house features a very large 15 hundred sq/ft screened in lanai on the upper level. This encompasses a large dining table, bar, couches, and dozens of chairs to enjoy the sunset. Also, on the lower level there are spacious lanais to enjoy the views.
There is also an abundance of fruit trees that you are welcome to pick and enjoy...when in season.
The home is equipped with top-of-the-line beds, furniture, art, and appliances. We have made every effort to make sure your stay is the experience of a lifetime
There are several local beaches, coffee museums, parks, grocery stores, and dozens of great restaurants. All close by. The Big Island offers some of the best fishing in the world and the majority of the highest rated golf courses in the Hawaiian Islands. Other adventures to consider are the Volcanoes national park or star gazing on Mauna kea.
All guests will be met with an Aloha basket of estate grown coffee, Hawaiian sweets and tropical fruits to start your stay.
All bathrooms will be stocked including soap and shampoo.
You can also rent the top floor only with the main living area, master bedroom, kitchen, pool, and large lanai, for those who want luxury comfort for a romantic couple (email for price)

House is amazing, the pics dont do it justice. Host was great. Some of the fixtures and bathrooms are showing their age but not a problem for family stay. The pool had an issue which took a few days to resolve but we spent all our time at the awesome beaches

The house was so spacious and gave our family a WOW moment when we arrived. The property setting is a beautiful garden and the views of the valley and ocean are spectacular! We spent most of our time on the screened wrap around porch just loving the breeze and view.The pool was a perfect size. The location gave us quiet and privacy while being close to everything we needed.
Our hostess greeted us as we came and made sure everything was perfect. She was charming and helpful both during our stay and when we were planning the trip and gave us great local tips.
We wanted a special place since we were celebrating our 50th anniversary and this was really the special place of lifetime memories. Mahalo to our Hostess.

We enjoyed the breathtaking views and the expansive living areas. Maka Nui is beautifully designed with plenty of spaces for both togetherness and solitude. The kitchen is seemlessly connected to one of the living rooms, making a perfect setting for cooking together and socializing. The house has so many comfortable yet luxurious spots to lounge, converse, and take in the view. We really did not want to leave. The location was perfect for us. It is close to so much but secluded and peaceful. We really appreciated Candi's hospitality and the mangoes were literally falling from the tree!

Beautiful location with wonderful ocean views. The home was perfect for our group with plenty of room. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing our dinners each night. Shopping nearby made it simple and affordable.
Candace was a great host.

no soap in the showers or bathrooms but the host was very nice we didn't ask for anything some things were broken like the BBQ , pillows sheets and bedding were worn out. Once again the host couldn't be nicer and felt she did all she could.

Family of 8 (6 adults + children 9 & 11) enjoyed week stay at this large and inviting house with swimming pool, lots of parking and space for kids to play. Spent most of our time on the upper level with large & well equipped kitchen, large sitting room (TV worked well) and master suite. Ate family meals on the huge, wrap-around, screened lanai that also had lots of lounging areas plus bar fridge that was convenient. Overall an excellent choice for our family. Would mention, though, that lower-level bathrooms were tired (water pressure could be improved too) and in need of upgrade to match rest of house. Small disappointment was condition of pingpong paddles - only 3 were serviceable so we purchased a new one.

4 couples in this trip. The property is perfect for this kind of group. Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own bathroom and shower. The kitchen and living area is large and open creating a great meeting area. The screened in deck makes a relaxing area with plenty of furniture on all sides making a book reading get away easy. The pool in the midst of a beautiful landscaped yard was the icing on the cake. Candi was great checking in on us and letting us know we could call if anything was needed.

Unbelievable views! The house and grounds are immaculate. Candi and Jed are exceptional hosts. Manini Beach is just minutes away by car and offers good snorkeling access to Kealakekua Bay. This house has everything and is precisely as described in the listing information. Our party of 7 adults and 2 teens had a memorable vacation stay!

The Maka Nui felt like home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. As others have mentioned, Candi is great, very friendly and laid back. I would highly recommend this house.
