Quite great place to stay. Don’t hang a towel on the lani as you will get a call. Lots of rules. Very clean with great space for everyone. We had four adults and four kids from 2-13 years. Lots of extras come with the rental property. From beach chairs and snorkel equipment to umbrella and strollers. We would absolutely stay here again. Beach club is amazing.

Aloha Leif! 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!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at One Upon a Tide. The home was bright and clean and conveniently located to get to the best beaches. We took the bikes to explore the super family friendly community almost daily. You need to drive to the beach, but given all of the boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, and other fun things provided we would have wanted to anyway. We saved a ton by cooking many meals on the BBQ and in the large kitchen and only went out occasionally. This was the perfect home base for our stay on the Big Island. We can't wait to come back!

We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed Once Upon a Tide and the Kamilo community. We are always so pleased to hear of our guests taking full advantage of the amenities. It would be a pleasure to host you again one day!
The house was perfect for our family! Absolutely beautiful kitchen, stocked very well. There's a glass for every drink you could think of!
The deck was perfect with a great view.
Our kids loved the pool and hot tub, just a short walk away from the condo.
The bikes were a big bonus! We all had fun riding around the area and to the market.
The beach equipment was so wonderful to have; chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, snorkel gear!
The only thing I would mention is that the twin beds would not be recommended for an adult. One of the beds was pretty uncomfortable and creaky. No big deal for kids, but for an adult it would be pretty frustrating.
We would definitely stay here again! Super impressed with the house, the neighborhood, the response time from management. It was a wonderful experience!

Aloha Sarah and Tyler!
It is wonderful to hear that you had such a pleasant experience both in the home and with our staff. We strive to make our guests' experience memorable. We couldn't be more pleased that you and your family enjoyed the home, what a great way to gather and spend time with one another. It would be our pleasure to have you back one day!
Overall great stay. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The house was well-appointed for families and people who want to cook in the kitchen. Pretty close to the pool area/fitness room. Couches and chairs were comfortable. Good communication with the management company, I would use them again.
Just a few little things to note but they don't diminish my rating: The bathrooms could use a few more bath towels (we didn't request more so that was our choice), the freezer isn't cold enough, we tried to lower the temp but it didn't set (I'm sure we were doing something wrong but didn't have time to call the management company and deal with it), the blankets were a bit thin (personal preference), the BBQ grill wouldn't ignite so we used the lighter in the kitchen to manually ignite the grill (we called, they said they would send someone down but no one came, it was fine as it worked in the end with the manual lighting), the shower faucet handle in the downstairs hallway bathroom was a bit finnicky, the kitchen doesn't have 9x13 pans (luckily we brought our own), and one of the bikes in the garage is unusable and should be trashed.

Not worth the money
No working hot tub the entire stay.
No ac the first day and night. Door sensors broke. Fixed next day by turning them off.
No but water first 24 hours. I had to figure out that it had been turned off at breaker. So after a day of travel we could not shower till next afternoon.
Bathtub would not drain.
Keys to pool area did not work well. Sometimes it would take us over 5 minutes of playing with the lock to get in.
Mice running through kitchen and bedroom daily.
After 20 plus stays on the island this is my first complaint. This is the type of issues I would expect from a lower end condo. Not one at this price point.

Thank you for providing us with such detailed feedback. We are disappointed that the stay fell short of your expectations. Our full time property care employees are very responsive and in Mauna Kea resort every day and ready to assist. It is important for travelers to read all reviews to get an accurate perspective. The home does not have a hot tub and we aer unsure which you mean as the community has 2 for guests use and we did not hear from the community or any other guests that they were out of service. We host over 3000 families a year in over 100 homes. Guest satisfaction is extremely important to us.
