First of all, it was easy to get to and get in, very clean and well stocked, and the layout was perfection! We all loved hanging out on the lanai and playing in the pool when we needed a beach break, and there was plenty of beach toys, coolers, equipment galore. We will definitely stay again. ##### Elizabeth H.

Sarang has a great list of things to do and places to eat on the island. I kept a copy in the car and it was so helpful. I also had to reach out to Sarang about the waterfall in the pool and got an immediate response. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hope I can. 10/10! Thank you Sarang! ##### Mary Ellen E.

The house is very lovely with good breezes. My husband and I stayed in the Ohana room which had air conditioning but the upstairs was also very comfortable. We used the pool more than I anticipated and it was great. The house was well stocked and the supply of snorkeling and beach gear was impressive. We are most meals on the lanai as well as our morning coffee. Sarang was very quick to respond to questions and provided helpful information for planning the trip. This was one of the nicest houses we have rented through VRBO and I would definitely recommend it.

It was the first time visiting for all 6 of us. From the moment we booked this home we have had exceptional service. We received so much information on the area and things to do before we even arrived. Questions were answered promptly. Check in & out were easy processes. The property is in a great location. Easy access to a local beach, gorgeous sunset views and all the amenities you need. The pool is an added bonus. We can’t say enough about how much we loved our stay here. Highly recommended it. ##### Carrie G.

From the layout of the house to the cute pineapple plants growing outside there is so much character. I do have to say that this house needs a good scrubbing from TOP to bottom. The lights and beams were covered in dust and the walls were splattered. Also some home restorations like paint repairs could be done to be more pleasing on the eye. The pool was amazing. It is a salt water pool and my kids LOVED it! It was the highlight to my kid's stay. The Lanai was also greatly used! Dinner on the Lanai with the pool water feature on was the icing with every sunset. ##### Whitney W.

It was magical. The house was so well equipped for us, including lots of useful baby gear, beach toys, pool floaties, snorkel gear and more. My kids were in the pool at least 3 times a day, and we loved walking down to Magic Sands beach as well (where we got to swim with turtles!) We loved the cafe/restaurant on the beach and had dinner and breakfast there several times. The house was very comfortable, everything was as described. We were so greatful for all the condiments, spices and pantry items that were in the house. It is so annoying to have to buy all those things just for a one-week stay. We loved the adorable green geckos crawling everywhere and made great use of the outdoor shower. It was a perfect week. ##### Julia D. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin B. 18 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Island beauty (and critters) The location is terrific, the view is even better in person. You could tell that care was given to try to include many comforts of home (bath towels, beach towels, linens, books, games, laundry detergent, dish soap, etc.) to make the start of our stay easy. The pool was lovely to relax in, though some of the tiles are coming off. We did not understand that the main home was without air conditioning so we experienced many warm days and nights when the breeze was lacking. We ended up not needing the ohana (which does have a window AC, but the area is too small to accommodate us all). Our kids enjoyed naming the plethora of geckos in the house. The mouse and cockroaches were a little tough, though. We were able to catch and dispose of the mouse (he was hiding under the fridge and stove). The home was pleasant enough, the updated countertops and sinks are a nice touch, but some things still feel a little rustic. Overall, it provided us a laid back place to land and the owners were very thoughtful in their planning and communication. ##### Erin B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lin G., I'm not sure what this category is? 24 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Basically loved it, only a few problems We rented the house plus the separate Ohana unit for our family of 6 adults and 2 children because we needed 6 beds. We would stay in the house again. The house was great - very comfortable, located only a few blocks from Magic Sands - a nice little family beach - and a short drive from a shopping center with a grocery and drug store and restaurants. We could even see the sun set over the ocean from the deck. It was well-equipped for cooking, easy to do laundry, and the kids especially loved the pool. There were beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, snorkeling gear, and coolers which made our trips to the beach very easy and enjoyable. The problems were maintenance and communication. Our adult son slept on a mattress on the floor for 2 weeks because one side of the support springs on the old hide-a-bed in the Ohana unit have torn out and the owner wouldn't correct the problem. There were a few other maintenance issues such as the older sliding door screens falling off their tracks. The lack of a bed was a big problem but the other issues were minor. We enjoyed our stay and especially recommend it for families. ##### Lin G.

We all enjoyed the beautifully designed, very clean pool. Location was close to beach and other places we wanted to visit. Communication with owner was excellent -- we particularly appreciated the booklet sent to us before our trip that outlined fun things to do and places to see. Don't miss the tour of Mountain Thunder coffee plantation! The entire trip was a thoroughly great experience! ##### Valecia C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly B. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed for a 30th birthday with 3 couples and 2 babies. It was everything we could have asked for. The house is well stocked and once you get all the windows open and fans going it stays pretty comfortable. ##### Molly B.
