Tina S. Apr 14, 2025 02:22:59 AM
Summary: We had our family reunion at this property. What a beautiful place to stay! Everything was perfect and we had a wonderful vacation!
Matt T. Mar 14, 2025 10:23:15 PM
Summary: I have stayed here years ago and it was always a wonderful experience. The 2wks went by in a flash. The only time we ventured out was to play golf and we also had an epic day of fishing. We love the fact that you never have to leave once you visit the grocery store. The owners Michelle and Gordan were wonderful.

Summary: A perfect place for a family vacation. Beautiful property in a great location and enjoyed by all ages.

Summary: The beach was our favorite part. We saw crab, manta, whales and dozens of birds.
amelia W. Apr 25, 2024 09:39:56 AM
Summary: Six women - grandmother, 2 daughters. three 30-something granddaughters spent a week in this spacious open-to- the-world house. Walk out from first floor bedroom onto deck of infinity pool, edge often lined with colorful birds drinking and bathing. Better still, down 8 steps, across a patch of grass onto beach and into the sea, home to local turtles. No problem here for 90 year old with bad knees. Four big bedrooms, tv room makes adequate bedroom for kids or adult who wants to be outside all day anyway. House front opens almost completely to the ocean and we never closed those big shutters, night nor day in mid April. Owners keep bugs away for the most part by spraying when we weren't there. Current concierge Nathalie a gem of helpfulness. We splurged extra on chef Rio for 4 nights of sunset drinks on beach and candlelit dinners on porch. Could we nit-pick things like a deck too hot to navigate without shoes? We weren't looking for 5 star elegance; we wanted and GOT a 5 star experience!
Matt H. Apr 17, 2024 07:25:40 AM
Summary: This was our fourth visit to the house and first time with the new owners. We were glad to see all the old charms remain and everything has been kept in good condition. The yard felt more open and spacious with some of the foliage trimmed back, so our boys were able to enjoy a lot of soccer and frisbee. The well-stocked kitchen is huge and was able to accommodate all our cooking. We always talk about taking excursions on the Big Island, but once we're there, the house is so wonderful, we never want to leave.
Patrick A. Mar 15, 2024 03:29:08 AM
Summary: This home is beautiful, spacious, incredibly well equipped, location right on the ocean, whales sited everyday, gorgeous sunsets. Not sure the home could be better.
Bob S. Dec 6, 2023 07:12:51 AM
Summary: Our entire family enjoyed the house, pool, beach and yard. Lots of lounging space and water toys to entertain young and old. The large and well equipped kitchen made cooking easy and family friendly. We would definitely like to come back.
