Wonderful property with the sounds of nature and beautiful landscape surrounding the area. Convenient location. Very clean and unique. Has everything you need to enjoy your stay on the Big Island.
What a wonderful way to end 2023! From the first contact with owners until we left we were checked on and made sure that all was going well. The house and the property was just like the pictures except better! The tropical landscaping was amazing and the outdoor living spaces (lanais) were spacious, well appointed, and had very nice breezes day and night. The house was extremely well maintained and the kitchen had everything we needed. Grilling our fresh fish on the back lanai on a chef quality grill was delightful! And watching sunsets from the small beach directly across the street was amazing. We will be back!
Without a doubt, the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The location of this home can't be beat. You're literally steps (across the street) from the ocean and breathtaking sunsets.
The home is tastefully decorated with island themes throughout. The main house is spacious, and the ohana is perfect if you're traveling with older kids, grandparents or another couple ... both fully stocked with anything you might need during a stay. And super important to us is a comfortable night's sleep. The mattress and linens were amazing!
The outdoor space ... WOW! From the lanai to the landscaping, you'll want to spend as much time soaking up the sunshine and island breezes as you can.
This place has been thoughtfully prepared for you to have an amazing time on the big island. Thank you, Lois and Dan, for a stay we'll never ever forget. My next trip to Hawaii will definitely be spent at Surfside Temple!
