Our family of 4 loved this property so much! They do a great job of stocking it with everything you need (beach supplies, appliances, laundry detergent) so it makes it easy to travel light. The house is well maintained and has a lovely view of a garden. It’s also steps away from the community pool which was great for our two young kids.
We were also impressed with the communication; the house came with a helpful manual as well as well labeled without being too intense. We would definitely stay here again!

The villa was so homey and spotless. We had access to the garage and could use beach wagon for our towels, snorkel gear etc.
Janine and her husband really have a beautiful villa!

Our family of 4 stayed here for a week and loved it. The hosts are top notch. Excellent communication and very helpful with local ideas and recommendations. The home is well stocked with just about anything you’d need for your stay, including a garage full of fun beach and pool equipment. We are ready to go back!

Villa Lava was exactly as pictured - spacious, upscale, and well-appointed. Everyone we n was provided, from laundry supplies to everything you could want for a beach day. We enjoyed the spacious pool and we even used the community gym. Communication was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

Probably bit more than one person needs, but the price was great for the location. It is very central to all our favourite beaches & resorts, and the Mauna Lani shops include a Foodland which makes grocery shopping a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

My husband and I love this villa! It has so many wonderful amenities and for us it was a great location to beaches, towns, and just exploring the island. Our host was fabulous and gave us so many suggestions and ideas. Definitely a return trip!

We rented this property for our son and his family and we rented a nearby unit for ourselves. It was perfect, beautiful setting, such a comfortable, well equipped unit. Great place for kids as they were close to the pool. Janine is such a great host and answered all the questions we had, mostly about activities for younger kids( our granddaughters are 3 & 6). Our 6 yr old’s comment at the end of the visit was “This is what I’ve dreamed about my whole life!” We hope to return next year and make this a family tradition.

Our family of four - my wife and I and 2 teens (15 and 13) stayed at Villa Lava for 9 days over Christmas 2023. Everything was perfect. The condo is great and exactly as shown in the listing. Check in was great and easy. The condo is right by the pool which we used most days after our excursions. We love the private beach club and the location to restaurants and beaches. The owner checked in on us often to make sure everything was running smoothly and was easy to contact. She provided great tips for arriving, things to do and places to see. We had the best time staying here on the Big Island and highly recommend it. We loved it!

This was a great place to stay, beautiful grounds and talk about quiet!! So, peaceful, the 2 1/2 bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked with spices and utensils. We didn't cook, but we enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker. Parking was just a few yards away. Communication with the owner was great, they reached out to us to make sure things were satisfactory. They even gave us a dining recommendation in the area. This area of the island is very relaxing, a 10 minute walk up or down the street to the grocery and a quite a few restaurants. If you want chaos and stimulation stay close to Kailua Kona. I would recommend staying here for sure.

Villa Lava is an extremely well appointed gem that is perfect for a get away! From the moment we walked in we felt all of the comforts of home. The bedrooms are very comfortable and welcoming. The spot is quiet and close to the community pool and gym. We loved the walkability to the nearby shopping center and resorts and the proximity to the best beaches on the Big Island. Plus the garage is stocked with snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Highly recommended !
