Luxurious house with pool, hot tub and outdoor showers
Our family enjoyed this luxurious property behind Mauna Kea and Hāpuna resorts. We loved the well-stocked large kitchen, the ample space (3 bedrooms with ensuites) and the outdoor showers. The kids (4 and 6) loved the heated pool and hot tub. The location is quiet and peaceful and we loved having supper while watching the sunset in the spacious lanai. We would love to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Big Island Stay
Absolutely wonderful, spacious residence for a Big Island vacation for 2 families of 4. Easy access to Mauna Kea Beach and all the facilities. Fantastic service and communication with the hosts. Amazing grill and outdoor dining area + pool/hot tub. So nice to have space and not have to eat every meal at the hotel. Can't wait to come back

Beautiful new home full of tasteful furnishings, Sonos sound system, flat screen televisions, a kitchen full of Wolf and Subzero appliances, a great floor plan with nana-wall type sliding doors that open wide to the covered patio and pool area. The three large bedrooms each have dressing rooms and huge en suite bathrooms with nice fixtures. To top it off the sunset views are hard to beat!

Home Away From Home in Paradise
Beautiful property on the Big Island. Very comfortable home. From the moment walking through the front gate it was such a comfortable, wonderful place. Everything was there to create a fanatastic home away from home. The kitchen has everything one needs to create great meals or if desired, multiple great dining experiences 5 minutes away in Mauna Kea Resort. Watch the sunset over the ocean from the deck or spa. I can't say enough about our stay. Owner and onsite manager were very responsive and extremely accomodating. Thanks for a great vacation Michelle.
