This property was even better than the pictures. It worked so well for our family with the set up having private spaces for everyone but also having incredible outdoor spaces for everyone to gather. Communication with the owner was excellent. Highly recommend this property!

The house, the host, the set-up was beyond our expectations! Highly recommend this home. We were sad to leave and would’ve loved an extra 3 days! 10/10. It was perfect for our family of six (4 teenagers). It was perfectly spaced so we always had our own areas when needed. This place had all the amenities for going to the beach, cooking at home and even a newly arrived 6 person golf cart to explore the Mauna lani area. The cleanliness of the home and the top notch landscaping really stood out.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the home, setup, and amenities exceeded your expectations and worked so well for your family—especially with four teenagers. I’m glad you enjoyed the space, the beach gear, the golf cart, and exploring the Mauna Lani area. It’s great to know the cleanliness and landscaping stood out as well. We would absolutely love to host you again, hopefully next time with those extra three days!
Peter and Theresa
Stayed with my kids and grandkids. Loved location and the pool along with each family having private space (bedroom pods) and shared space (house and pool). Location is very convenient and the golf cart is a hit. Recommend. Hosts are very responsive and will try to stay with them again in the future.

This was the perfect property for our 4 families to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. Every family got their own suite and the shared living spaces were all so inviting and open. Hosts responded quickly to all questions about where things were located and the amenities quickly and professionally. Would 10000% stay here again!

Our party of 9 stayed for 10 days and had a fantastic time. The floor plan is excellent in that everyone has their own privacy during the stay. The directions and communication from the owner was outstanding. The house was immaculate and comes with everything you could think of. We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful home for our extended family. The hale style home worked perfectly for our group of grandparents, parents, teens, and kids with different wake up times and bedtimes! The house was stunning. Our favorite spot (other than the hot tub) was the tower overlooking Palm trees with views out to the ocean. Would stay here again. 10/10!

We had a great stay at Peter's property (grandparents, kids, grandkids). The bungalow layout of the house works great for multiple families and kids. The golf cart was great to get to and from the beach down the street as well. Would absolutely come back!
