RETREAT TO YOUR OWN PRIVATE PARADISE

I had never rented a home for a vacation. I didn't really know what to expect. I was looking for space where my family could all go together but still have enough space where we would not be glad when the trip was over.

This home with its four suites and central gathering spaces was exactly what I had hoped for and then some. We had all the amenities of home while on vacation. My family was able to interact in a way that would have not been possible at a hotel. It was casual and relaxing.

The home is well maintained and you can tell the owner really cares and wants renters to enjoy their stay. The local property managers are great too.

This home was amazing and the pictures don't really do it justice. There are tons of little extras that aren't even listed in the description. It has to be experienced to appreciate it. It is a great idea for four couples or a family. The owners really have provided a wonderful space to relax and enjoy Hawaii.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home or go back again myself.

This was one of those properties in which the pictures did not do it the justice it deserved! The property exceeded all of our expectations and more! There were 10 of us traveling, 6 adults and 4 children ages 4, 5, 9, and 12. I and my mother in law are from the islands yet this was the first time we had rented a home. We usually go the hotel route. The house offered exactly what was described in appearance and ameneties. The sprawling home had more than enough room but also alot of privacy, since 3 of the rooms were their own separate quarters. The children spent all of their time in the pool and when offered to go to the beach or visit relatives to swim where they were staying, they declined! Why go anywhere else when you have one of the most gorgeous infinity pools I have ever seen right here in the back yard?! The media room kept the kids calm and relaxed at night with hundreds of movies to choose from. The large kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the family. We made breakfast each morning and barbequed dinners at the awesome outdoor kitchen. Kim was amazing at her communication with me as far as answering questions right away and making recommendations. I was impressed with how organized all of the instructions were on how to use everything in the house, especially the audio/visual. The shops at Mauna Lani and Foodland right down the street had everything we needed to help make our stay a success! You have to try the Kalbi korean marinated flank steak from Foodland on the grill, so ono!! Be sure to catch the free hula show and fire dancing you would see at an expensive luau at the Mauna Lani shops stage. Also on certain days they offer free hula and ukulele lessons as well! I would recommend staying at this gorgeous home to anyone who has a large group or family with kids. Our one Costco run proved to be efficient enough that we only went out to dinner once while staying there! We saved so much $ dining in and enjoying the beautiful nights at this home! We can't wait to return!

I got married on the Big Island in January 2012 and this was my home
for 10 days surrounding the ceremony. Words cannot express how
perfect this home was for the most important week in my life. My
experience was absolutely magical. Kim's home is luxurious,
impressive, and comfortable. Each couple staying at the house had
their very own villa. The grounds felt like our own private 5-star
resort, between the courtyard with winding paths over koi ponds,
outdoor kitchen complete with a grill and flat screen TV, and huge
infinity pool that wrapped around the exterior of the property looking
out over the golf course. I felt like a celebrity. The home is
massive, especially when you open the glass window walls to create a
completely open indoor/outdoor living space. The views of the
mountainous landscape are breathtaking (especially in the morning when
the sun rises over the volcano... I woke up every morning before
sunrise to soak it in... you can't miss it!) It's an entertainers
dream with multiple dining and lounging areas, yet perfect for
relaxing days floating in the pool. It was a bonus to have a private
beach just down the road with snorkeling, paddle boards, chaise lounge
chairs, and a restaurant and bar. Plus, we loved the hiking trails
throughout the Mauna Lani resort property. Finally, I feel so blessed
to have had the pleasure of meeting Kim through the rental process.
She is the most generous, accommodating, genuine, lovely person I have
worked with. We've been vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands for 15
years, but we have no desire to stay anywhere else going forward.
