We had a wonderful time at The Plantation! It was in a beautiful location and we had a blast! The pool was great as well! The property manager was great to communicate with and always answered very quickly.

Such a fantastic place for our family vacation, 2023. With 9 bedrooms, everyone had plenty of room. A lot of time was spent in the beautiful swimming pool. Views of the ocean were enjoyed as we sat on the lanai. The setting was so lovely. Would not hesitate to rent this "plantation" again.

Lots of space and wonderful view of the ocean. The pool, with waterfall and hot tub is amazing. It was lovely to relax on the two separate lanais. Big remodled modern kitchen and master suite in the main house. The 2 kitchenettes are both at the poolhouse,1 on the lanai,1 in the bedroom with only a sink and refrigerator. Though it says recently renovated, the property is under construction with some features including some electrical and lighting not working, and some things in need of repair.The description and photos of the property are still not acurate despite the many reviews mentioning this. Walls are very thin in the tall house with the 6 bedrooms. Beds are very comfortable.The pickle ball court is the driveway /parking area with a roll-out net. It says bring your own paddles but we left ours so there should be 4.There is a great sand volleyball court with a net but you'll need a ball.There are also alot of pool toys. Stop at a store on your way and buy soap because there was soap in only 1 of the 10 bathrooms on the property. There are also no hand towels. For the kitchen,you'll need to buy some salt & pepper, spices and oil for cooking but otherwise is well equipt. Great snorkling up the road at Shark's Cove where you can rent gear. There are food trucks nearby and great shopping at The Polynesian Cultural Center and nearby open air market. Lovely swimming beach, good for little (and big) ones,just up the road from the house maybe 1/4 mile. We had a great time.

My husband and I renewed our vows at Moli’i Gardens & needed a place to house some of our guests flying to Hawaii. This place exceeded our expectations! The rooms were really nice & everyone felt comfortable in their own spaces. The pictures posted are not up to date at all and there are so many other features that we all enjoyed!
There was a sauna, a pickle ball court, an outdoor movie seating that we all loved and of course the gated pool.
The owner greeted us when we arrived and was so nice & welcoming. We had a bbq one of the days & she was extremely accommodating. We would love to get a group back there again!

This property was beautiful outside just really needs some cleaning and repairing done. The inside the beds were good but the rooms needed some good repairs done - electrical especially and cleaned. In most rooms there is no where to organize your personal items. It is a beautiful property but just needs a lot of maintenance done. We did enjoy our stay here. It was very relaxing and the views are beautiful.

The location and views are breathtaking! We really enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces and the heated pool was amazing. The house itself could defiantly use some updating.

This property is lovely in so many ways. There are some challenges with the AC in the pool house, it does not work. There are also no extra towels or linens available. Roland was very helpful and receptive. It’s unfortunate that you have to text him for the bubbles for the hot tub. That puts a lot onto him. Overall this property is lovely!!!

There are simply not enough words to explain the amazing experience we had. I don’t even know where to start. I read extensively the reviews prior to our stay so I think it’s best to start from there.
1. The photos can not & will not EVER do this property justice. The views alone are literally worth every dollar you spend. The photos are lacking so I’ll do my best to explain the accommodations.
*Main house has a HUGE full kitchen, dining room & living room with 3 fold out couches. The main bedroom has a king bed & full bathroom. There is a half bath in the laundry room & another bedroom with king and full bathroom around the back side of the main house.
*Pool house. A half bathroom and huge bedroom with mini kitchenette & king bed. Both the pool house and main house have HUGE lanais with tables & chairs and 2 extra outside fridges.
*secondary house: 1 downstairs room has 4 fold out couches, 3 other downstairs rooms have king beds and a last downstairs room has another fold out couch. Three of the downstairs rooms have full bathrooms. There are 2 upstairs rooms with king beds & a shared full bathroom.
2. View and amenities: THEY LITERALLY HAVE LAVA carved out and lit up in the driveway. There are red shiny rocks that are lit up and look like the path is covered in lava. The pool, location, view & property are beyond measure!
3. You will be cared for like never before. Roland and his crew were incredible and made everything perfect for us! Even brought us a turtle!

This property is the in perfect, picturesque location. It was ideal for our trip with extended family. The outdoor space is breath taking and the indoor area is big enough to accommodate our group of 18. Would come back tomorrow if we could!!

This is a great property at a lovely setting and has many wonderful amenities. Roland, the manager is very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate. Since the property was purchased last January (2022), they are continually making upgrades and improving the property. It is only getting better. There are lots of things to do at the property--pickle ball, sand volleyball, lovely lanais and fire pits, etc. and is a good place to rest and relax, but also good for other fun experiences like beaches and hiking. Hope you will enjoy it as much as our family did! !

For the price, was very disappointing. Not clean. We spent the first day cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms.
