We were a family of 12 and enjoyed the spaciousness of this house. The pool was the most popular and sitting out on the lanai. Having beaches close by was also a plus! Hated to depart!

It makes us so happy to hear about families coming together to gather in one of our homes. It sounds like you had a great stay and we hope that you were able to make lasting memories. Thank you so much for choosing Paradise in Hawaii!
Wonderful place to stay! It was plenty spacious for our group of 12. Had everything we needed. Loved the location and peaceful neighborhood. Host were quick and easy to communicate with. Our only recommendation would be a new washer (it didn’t seem to clean well) and more wash cloths. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was lovely and with 12 family members it never felt crowded. The open kitchen, family room was great for gathering. We loved having the access to the Hilton pool and Mauna lani beach club. Would definitely stay again

We had three generations of family stay here and all of us loved it! The accommodations were clean and very comfortable (especially the beds). The location was perfect (close to beaches, shops, and restaurants) and the private pool and hot tub were a wonderful treat.
We would absolutely stay here again.

It was the perfect house for our family (6 adults and 4 teenagers). Great location. Best equipped kitchen ever. Loved having our own pool and hot tub. Plenty of room for everyone. Would highly recommend this house.

House of Joy lives up to its name!
Terrific house! We travel a lot, always using either VRBO or AirBNB, but this was by far the best stocked house we've ever stayed in. Everything, including bicycles, boogie boards, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc. were available. The house was spotless and a in a great location! The pool is wonderful and the service is impeccable Highly Recommend!
It was as advertised. Floors could have been cleaner.

Thank you for the feedback. We wish we had been made aware of the housekeeping issues right away as we would have been more than happy to remedy this for you. We have a team ready to help and wish we had we been given the opportunity to do so. We are happy that you had a nice stay and hope that your family made lasting memories.
It met all of our expectations...12 adults/kids. The pool/hot tub made all the difference. Great space. Well equipped.
The Club was wonderful, we had our 50th anniversary dinner at Napua and we enjoyed the food/view/ambiance.
Perfect location..putting green and garbage bins within 50 feet. The local pool/workout room was very nice as well.

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback and also for giving us the opportunity to host you. We couldn't be happier to hear what a nice stay you had and would be absolutely delighted to have you back!
This house exceeded our expectations. It is actually better than the listing. We have had the opposite happen many times. This was the most well provisioned house we have ever stayed in. They had everything for the kitchen from aluminum foil to a rolling pin and whisk. The beach supplies were also abundant. We enjoyed the private beach and club access that is included with the property. This property is a gem and I highly recommend.

It is so great to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us at House of Joy. The home has so much to offer and it really sounds like you guys took full advantage of the amenities. We hope that you and your family made many lasting memories.
When you first walk up the stairs into the house, it is just wow! This is a lovely house with everything you need to have a great time on the Big Island. We enjoyed access to the private beach club and then being able to jump into the private pool. The view of the sunset on the lanai was not bad either. What really impressed us was the quick response from property management (before and during our stay). When we felt the AC was not working correctly, they sent someone out within 5 minutes! We definitely recommend staying here, but keep good care of the house cause we want to come back again :-). Mahalo, PIH!

We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful home. We loved having you with us and we hope to see you back soon!
We were a family of 5 children (age 3-12) and 6 adults that stayed here. The house was perfect for us in that everyone was able to sleep in a room, thus leaving the whole living area to enjoy at all times. The Lanai was a real treat to eat meals and we made great use of the well stocked kitchen and Lanai BBQ. The kids were able to swim in the very warm house pool, as well as the large resort pool which was just a short walk away. The house came well supplied with spare fins, snorkel equipment, bikes, and beach supplies for the excellent snorkeling at Mauna Lani beach. Communication with the host was easy, responsive, and convenient and they were able to accommodate our late check-out request, and since some had flights that didn't leave until 10pm, it was very much appreciated. For our families purposes, we could not have asked for a more ideal spot.

There were 12 of us and the house is plenty big. The main room has tons of seating so we could all eat together. We had an 8 month old and they provided a high chair, pack and play, and monitor. It was very clean and stocked really well. Plenty of beach/pool towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, bath towels, soap, and even spices. The location was great. There is a private beach (not walking distance) and 2 other nice beaches within 10-15 minutes drive. The upstairs lanai overlooking the golf course was my favorite spot! The only down side with the location is all excursions were in Kona, a 40 minute drive and the baby didn’t like that! Our older kids had no problem with the drive. Shout out to Lava Java in Waikoloa Village where we had our last breakfast heading to the airport…they were fantastic!

Wow! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you and your family enjoyed House of Joy, it sounds like it was a perfect home base for your stay! The Big Island and the home have so much to offer and it really sounds like you made the most of it. Thank you for choosing Paradise in Hawaii for your stay, we would be delighted to have you back!
The house had great amenities - everything from a kitchen with anything you would need to make meals, to gas grill, bikes, beach chairs, beach towels and the list goes on. The house was comfortable, clean, and had a great view from the deck. The family loved the pool and hot tub and the Beach Club was only a few miles away with a wonderful protected bay for swimming in the ocean. The property managers were very responsive to questions. A heads up about a few items: 1) The doors sometimes appear to be closed but aren't. You need to push them tightly shut to make sure the air conditioner doesn't shut off. 2) If you have adult children coming from a lot of directions, the property only has parking for a maximum of four cars. 3) If you want to rent a Golf Cart, I would highly recommend Resort Carts. Really a great house for a family vacation. There were not any negatives to this house.

Family of 9!
My family of 9 fit comfortable in this home. Close to all amenities for groceries, dinner, and there are beaches galore close!! 30 min from Kona. We loved the kitchen where we prepared daily meals and a large table to enjoy them. My adult children shared a room with their significant others, my mother in law had her own room, my sister and her son shared a king and my husband and I had the Master. When we arrived there was a wasp nest and I called and within minutes someone was here taking care of it! They were amazing. We enjoyed the heated spa and pool and all the toys. The only complaint I would have is it needed a good deep cleaning as there was lots of sand under the area rugs and a film on the floors. (Sand is impossible) We needed the pull out bed and when it was pulled out it had sand inside. (Where isn’t sand)We changed the sheets and there were lots of extra blankets and sheets to accommodate. We used the cooler, chairs and umbrella at the beach. All in all was a fabulous and comfortable trip from this momma of 6.

We love nothing more then hearing about our guests taking full advantage of everything a home has to offer! House of Joy is such a great home and we are thrilled that you felt the same. Thank you for the housekeeping feedback, the housekeepers and inspectors who follow afterwards now use a detailed 100 item checklist for each clean. It sounds like you really made the most of your stay and that is our ultimate goal. It would be great to have you and your family back one day!
Our stay at House of Joy was fantastic. The house met our needs, the pool was FANTASTIC (especially for little bugs just learning to swim), the kitchen is huge and allows for cooking with a large group, and the rental agency was so superb and easy with whom to communicate. We highly recommend.
