Sunsets in Paradise

This was a great property. It was clean and very comfortable. The beds, often a problem at places, were amazing and everyone woke up refreshed. The views from the lanai are amazing and we were treated to stunning sunsets every evening. To make it even better, Adriana was able to provide quick answers to our questions. Overall, I highly recommend this property. Mahalo!

A Week In Paradise

This home is beautiful and very well equipped with everything that we needed. We loved that we had access to the beach club at The Mauna Kea. However, be aware that The Mauna Kea is undergoing a huge renovation and there is a lot of noise during the day. The kitchen is very large, we were able to have a chef come in and cook for us a few nights while there. The backyard is very nice with a beautiful pool. I highly recommend.

View to die for

Situated on a golf course above the ocean with a great view. Beautiful home with well equipped kitchen and small pool and jacuzzi. Beds comfortable and large smart tv in living room but standard tv in bedrooms. Air conditioning control in each bedroom worked well. Shower in master bedroom required 5 minutes for hot water. Garage contained owners car and could not be used. Property well maintained. Adriana responsive to questions.

Excellent home for four adults and two kids. Well stocked and incredible sunsets every night. I liked the location, up a bit on the mountain but close to everything - 5 min drive to Mauna Kea resort and the Westin. I recommend paying the fee to have the option to use the resorts - Mauna Kea resort beach exceeded expectations, not overcrowded. I would definitely stay again. Thank you!
