We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was beautiful, in a fantastic location, and just minutes from several great beaches. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.
This was our second time staying at this beautiful home. We are happy to report it is as just as good as we remember it from our last stay in November 2022. The ocean and sunset views are amazing and we love the community where this house is located as well (our third time staying in the community). After staying at multiple VRBOs and resorts on the Big Island, I highly recommend you give this house and community a try. I think you get much better value and views than within the resort properties. Hapuna Beach is a short drive away and Mauna Kea, Hapuna Beach and Mauna Lani properties are all a 15-20 min drive away if you are looking for shopping or a nice meal. At the harbor, there is a great, new coffee stand, fresh fish at Da Fish house, burgers and NY Style Pizza at the KO Pizza truck. Pam was amazing from check in to check out and we couldn’t ask for a better trip. This home will always be a special place for my wife and me as it is also where we got engaged in 2022. Can’t recommend this home enough.
The house was great. Very clean and well taken care of. Host were very helpful and always answered our questions right away or returns call quickly. Beautiful and safe location. Saw many whales and dolphins from the porch of the house.
Lovely house and property, great location and views!
Our six-night stay was fantastic. We would have liked to stay longer but the property is popular and booked, for good reason. We agree with the other comments praising the location, views, quiet neighborhood, well-stocked kitchen, bath, laundry, pool/beach supplies, books, music, games, whales (in season) and especially the great property manager, Sophie.
We look forward to staying at this property again.

Mahalo for the great review Mark!! So glad you enjoyed all the property has to offer!! We would be thrilled to host you again in the future.
We all loved our vacation stay! The views of the Whales and sunset were spectacular every day. The location was far enough North to take us out of any resort traffic and kept us in a relaxing quiet neighborhood overlooking the ocean. There were numerous pool and beach toys for the children and we felt comfortable throughout the home.
Enjoyed all aspects of the property.
Amazing house, fully supplied with everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped for us to prepare a Christmas dinner. The views are outstanding and our favorite activity was hanging out in the pool watching the whales and dolphins out in the bay. Owners were very prompt in responding to questions. Probably the best home we have ever rented.
Beautiful property!! Absolutely beautiful scenery and literally thousands of whales.
The property is very impressive!! Everything is in top condition and all accessories are plentiful. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Thank you for the awesome review, we are excited to host you again next year!
This property was perfect. From the beds, linens, kitchen appliances and the outdoor space. We could not have enjoyed it more! Hopefully we will be back one day!
Villa is exactly as advertised. Ocean views the best. Last week of January visit gave us many whale sightings close by every day. Woke up most mornings to the blow of the whales. House had everything we could want for beach or poolside.

Mahalo Ken for your great review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and experienced the whales from the house!
Impressive, Inviting, Clean, Magnificent views, Beautiful and Comfortable furnishings, Concierge service perfect.
Sit back relax and enjoy this Fantastic home. Sip on a cool beverage poolside and enjoy the gardens, views and all the visiting colorful birds. We would definitely rent again!! Shaka
I can’t properly express how much we loved this vacation and this amazing property! The views will take your breath away from every room and from the beautiful outdoor spaces. The house is thoughtfully maintained and exactly as described. There was plenty of room for our family of five. We all hope to be back soon!
We have stayed at a lot of different houses on the big island. This one was perfect. The bedrooms were so comfortable. We loved having the pool and outdoor areas, and the location was perfect for us. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

Thank you for the great review! We definitely hope to have you back!!
This home is beyond beautiful - perfect location, view was incredible, house had everything we needed and more. The views from all the rooms could not have been better. We saw whales everyday of our stay - so cool. Very quiet and friendly community. We did the fishing boat one day and it was fantastic - great crew and my son caught a huge fish. We will definitely be coming back!

Tera, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and got a catch on your fishing charter with us! We would love to have you back in the future!
An incredible view! Very comfortable home. Well equipped. Perfect host. Loved our stay!! An hour from Kona two to Hilo. Although, the drive anywhere felt long it was a beautiful ride in every direction. We didn’t want to leave and if the Lord permits we’ll be back there soon.

Mahalo for your review we hope to have you back in the future!
This is truly an amazing property, and we have rented 6 other homes in the islands. It really is better than the pictures. The pool is much larger than it looks in the photos. Whale watchimg from the lanai (overlooking the pool) or from on the pool was a treat. Great beds. A/C zones for individual preferenced. An incredibly well stocked kitchen. If you rent this ho.e, youbwill NOT be disappointed! We give it 6 stars out of 5.
We stayed at the house for 12 days over Christmas and Nee Years. Waking up every morning to spectacular views is a great way to start the day. Everyone loved the pool. There was something for everyone and that made it easy to spend tons of time together as a family. A car is necessary in order to go places and get things but that is true for every place we have ever stayed on the big island. I would definitely recommend

Thank you for your nice review! We are glad your family enjoyed the house and the pool. You're always welcome back
We stayed here in April 2023. The property was absolutely spectacular. In addition to the wonderful view of the ocean, the pool, hot tub, and fire pits…the hosts have thoughtfully prepared the property for the many needs you might have. From sunscreen and aloe to pool and beac gear, kitchen gadgets and appliances, to helpful directions and guides. There are lots of different areas to sit and relax, room for many to stay comfortably.
It feels like living in a luxury home, not a rental property.
Highly recommend. This property exceeded our expectations in every way.

Mahalo for the awesome review Howard! We love to hear that you enjoyed the home and all the special touches provided for your convenience!
We have stayed in a number of rented properties and none lived up to the advertisements. This one far exceeded our expectations! The pictures of the house and amenities were compelling but when we got there and actually saw the view, decor, and complete kitchen accessories, we were blown away! The attention to detail was appreciated.
The build quality of the house was excellent and the floor plan to maximize all of the ocean views was spectacular.
We will be back again!

Mahalo for your wonderful review Barbara! We look forward to hosting you again next year!
This house has everything and more. The host thought of everything. Literally everything. Baskets of toiletries in every bathroom, workout items if that’s your thing. Music area, computer, the list goes on. The house is beautiful in an area that is quiet and alluded and close enough that the resort area is a quick drive. And don’t get me started on the whales. It was our own private sea world show all day every day. Amazing and we definitely hope to be back!
This house is amazing. It looks exactly as it does in the listing. It’s impeccably maintained and is incredibly well stocked. Anything that you might possibly need on The Big Island they have in this house— from flashlights to see the volcano at night to a smoothie machine to every bathroom amenity imaginable. There are also so many TVs in the house (including outside in view of the pool and hot tub) set up with Direct TV and Apple TV. The technology set up here is amazing! The hosts are so receptive and helpful. They made our trip wonderful. I honestly can’t recommend this house enough.

Thank you for your nice review Lindsey! We are glad you felt you had everything you needed for a memorable stay! We would happily have you back again in the future.
We absolutely loved our stay. We spent 10 days on the Big Island and had a blast. This was our third VRBO in the area and this was by far our favorite home.
The home is well appointed with anything you might need. Beach towels, beach chairs, pool floats, snorkle gear, etc. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with anything you might need. There’s a brand new grill out back. The sonos sound system and tv’s theoughout were great. 6:00am college football from the hot tub was a great way to start the day.
The house has incredible views all around. Wonderful sunsets. Great views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai.
The home is in a great area in North Kohala. Quiet and chill with lots of activities nearby. We’ve already re-booked for next year. A 10 out of 10 no doubt.

About the host
Hosted by Pamela Heitz
We purchased this home with our friends in 2018. We gave it a remodel to make it a fun vacay home for all to enjoy!
I personally manage this home with my assistant Sophie. Together we can't wait to help make this vacation home your happy place that you want to come back and enjoy year after year.
Why they chose this property
VIEWS VIEWS and More VIEWS!! Honestly, I have been to many homes all over the Island and this house has the best! You are only about 150 yards from the ocean and can see Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kohala and Maui. Enjoy watching the dolphin pods that come by pretty much everyday and in Whale season you have an up close view of breeching whales, you are even close enough to hear them!! Seriously, you may never want to leave the house.
