Close to town, stores and easy walk to the beach. The residence is beautiful and the house and kitchen are well stocked with everything you’ll need to enjoy your time on the island. Located on a main road through town so traffic noise can be loud and steady at times. Driveway can be difficult to see at night. Reflector at the entrance of the drive would remedy that. Communication with the owner was great. Overall a great place to stay. ##### Bill K.

We were here to celebrate a 90th birthday party. Most of our time was spent on the deck. The rest of the house had some interesting amenities. As such we had a total of 3 different adult children and their spouses during the 2 weeks. We found the lighting very poor in the living room particularly and recommended use of fans and air conditioning units a little overwhelming and in need of some updates. The house has some beautiful collectibles...but too much for a rental. ##### Carol B.

The house was clean and private! The DECK - WOW! That incredible view with NO house to block the sunsets, or hear the crashing waves at night. Thank you Simmy! ##### verna d.

We could choose to snorkel, explore, shop, adventure, or hang on the ocean view porch and read, knit, and watch the tiny green geckos, birds, and blossoms silently fall, while the 11 year old swam in the pool. Magic memories. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris c. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our 2nd stay here This was our 2nd stay here in as many years and it was better than the 1st. We briefly thought about looking for a different property to try then realized this is where we wanted to go again…. This house is perfect ! Again, we literally lived on the lanai all week. Walk to 2 beaches for snorkeling or boogie boarding…. 5 minute drive to town….5 minute drive to grocery store…. The location is perfect. Check in / check out was seamless…. Simmy is a incredible host. See you next year !! Mahalo !! ##### chris c.

The sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous and being able to hear the waves from the house was so relaxing. The house fit our party of 8 well with the back house used for the teens. Location is great for airport, shopping, food and easy to get to no matter what you drive. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and Simmy was always available if we needed anything! Definitely would recommend this rental!! ##### Christine H.

This was the third time staying at this property….. we return every year because we love it! The host is great…. Good communication and prompt responses. The view of the ocean from the lanai is amazing! Very comfortable home with lots of amenities. Also lots of beach gear is available to use. The kids enjoy the pool. I would highly recommend this property. 5 stars all around. 😎 ##### Eileen R.

Loved the mornings and sunsets from the Lanai. House very comfortable, plenty of fans for the living areas, individual window A/C units for the bedrooms which we used most nights. Kitchen well equipped if you want to do your own cooking. Well located close to Keauhou shopping center for restaurants and grocery shopping. short drive to town for more food-shopping. Short walks to White Sand and Magic beaches. Enjoyed our stay. Would stay again. Lorri ##### lorri p.

Simmy was the best host I've ever had - she even sent us messages letting us know when we could see Iam Tongi on local TV (he won 'American Idol' while we were on the island). It was fantastic to be able to walk to Kahalu'u, which is an amazing snorkeling beach. Simmy is also a strong proponent of the environment, which we really appreciated - we need to respect paradise! ##### Pam B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### June C. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly Recommend Our favorite part of the house was the deck. The view was amazing and the deck had plenty of furniture for seven adults, with a dining table, bar chairs, and relaxing chairs. We love the location, nestled in a neighborhood and a five minute walk to a beach on the left and a few minutes to drive to a terrific snorkeling Beach on the right. The kitchen was stocked with every possible item you could imagine for cooking and in the back is a cabana with a bbq, multiple chairs, Boogie boards, and beach toys. Our “kids”are adults so they enjoyed their own separate sleeping quarters with attached bathroom. If we return to this part of the island again, this would be our first choice for a future vacation. Thank you Simi for providing a fabulous vacation home for us! ##### June C.

Sleeps 10 if u pack them all in but realistically its great for a family with kids up to 6-8. 3 full baths which was huge for our family of 4 adults. The set up is great with both main bedrooms opening out to the most wonderful lanai over looking the pool and ocean. The bunkhouse was perfect for our adult kids as they had their own quiet space. Location could not have been better. Walking distance to 2 awesome beaches, one great for snorkeling, the other great for boogie boarding. Private entrance and parking. We will most definitely be back. Mahalo ##### chris c.

This was a wonderful place for our family vacation. We had large group and the house was great as it had a lot of spots for people to hang out. The lanai was our favorite gathering place to watch the sunset every evening as well as a perfect place to enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner. The house had everything we needed and it was nice to have beach gear like boogie boards and towels. The little kid wading pool was a hit with our kids as well (who knew after spending all day at the beach they would want more water time). Simmy was very accommodating and helped us to find the best activities with each of my inquiries. The location was great as we could walk down to the beach where we saw turtles within a minute after getting into the water. The beach there was great for snorkeling, paddle-boarding and surfing. This truly was a great place to stay! ##### Ann S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven P. 21 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway What a great place to stay! We spent lots of time hanging out on the fabulous porch, watching the whales, playing cribbage, and eating. The home is beautiful with huge sliding doors to the porch. The kitchen is well stocked and the coffee grinder was used a lot to grind the local Kina coffee! There is beach access one house to the right, and 200 yards south is the best snorkel beach for the family! We tried surfing and spent a lot of time face down! Thanks for the use of the beach chairs, umbrella, and water toys, and cooler. Very convenient to have access to these amenities and made the beach trips super comfortable. Thanks for sharing your great home with us. We will be back! ##### Steven P.

We rented both houses as we had a family gathering of 6 adults and 5 kids this trip and it made a great family compound for our group. The lanai is very large and it's where our family of 11 spent a great deal of time. The location of the property is a big plus as you can walk to Kahaluu Beach or Magic Sands (we drove to Magic Sands as we had so much gear!). It's also a short drive into town or to the beaches north and south. A longer drive but we also went to the other side of the island and back a couple of times. Simmy's properties are stocked with items a person would need for a pleasant island stay - boogie boards, toys, coolers, chairs. We also used the bbq grill a couple of nights & even used the washing machine! We value communication & Simmy responds quickly. Overall, we had a lovely 50th anniversary celebration with our family on this property. ##### Linda G.

As others have mentioned, the lanai is huge and shaded with a great view of the ocean. We spent most of our time there. The kitchen is meant to be cooked in and we ate fresh fish (from KTA or farmer’s markets) for most of our meals. Even though it was July, we generally just used the fans and sat on the lanai with the ocean breeze to cool down but there are air conditioners we used occasionally. There was a issue with hot water which the owner took care of within hours. Yes, there are a lot of notes, but they asked nothing unreasonable. We also loved walking to Kahalu’u and Magic Sands beaches- different kinds if beaches but each fun in its own way. The snorkeling at Kahalu’u was beautiful. So many great snorkeling sites on the big island. We found Simmy’s book “Hawaii Revealed” to be very helpful. ##### Maggie E.
