The house is amazing. There was plenty of room for our group of seven. Everyone loved the pool. The view is incredible. The host is wonderful. He had great recommendations for our scuba divers and was very responsive when we had questions. This is definitely a house we would like to return to someday.

Our group of eight had an amazing stay at Heart of Hualalai. The property was beautiful, spotless, and perfectly located for exploring the island. The accommodations were very comfortable and well-appointed, making it feel like a true home away from home. We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful pool and spa and the stunning surroundings. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly stay here again. Owner, Laurens, and caretaker, Heidi, were extremely helpful and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Big Island!

We have rented more than 20 properties in Hawaii over the past decades and enjoy trying new places, but this house was so wonderful in so many ways that we are planning on returning. The view from the pool and lanai ( as well as bedrooms and living room) were beautiful. The property is so well maintained with myriad thoughtful touches. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful oasis. Communication with the on site property manager as well as the owners was impeccable. I most strongly recommend this property.

Our experience was 5 star plus plus. From beginning to end it was perfect. Hosts were wonderful and so communicative. The estate was amazing. Amenities top drawer. Drawers were even labeled so you could find items (towels were like a four seasons!). The very best part was the amazing view from so many areas of the property, particularly the pool. I can recommend at the highest level, without reservation. Thank you for making our holiday experience so memorable. Mahalo

The Absolute Best!

This was our 2nd stay at this amazing house and hopefully many more to come. So much thought have been given to provide such a welcoming place, the best place we have ever stayed on the Island and we’ve stayed at quite a few over the years. The caretaker and the owners are wonderful. This house and the view are absolutely stunning! We can’t wait to return!

Family Reunion Hawaiian Getaway!

AMAZING! This house was beyond my expectations! A beautiful setting for a family reunion. Everyone had a great time and this place has everything you need. Lots of beach toys/chairs/towels for the beach days. Lazy days by the pool were my favorite. Perfect places to watch the sunset, kitchen has everything you need for family dinners, lots of places to hang out both inside and out and lots of games for game night. Overall this place was perfect for us, we will definitely be back highly recommend!!

A Great Space

This is a beautiful, comfortable house with everything our family needed for a great Kona vacation. We brought a group of eight adults and found plenty of space for getting together and for time on our own. The house is beautifully decorated, has a great view of the ocean, and the owners were very attentive. And, of course, there’s lots of fun things to do on the Big Island. Our gang called it our “best vacation yet.”

Magnificent week with family during the iron man week in Kona

I don’t think there is a better place to stay at to enjoy your time while in Kona. This location is absolutely stunning. We could not wait to watch the amazing sunset and the 180 degrees ocean view. Besides these amazing features, the house itself is incredible. The house is fully equiped with everything that you could think of. We particularly enjoyed the bodyboards. Big Mahalo to Kimberly and Laurens.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Heart Of Hualalai! Laurens was a gracious host and the on-site property manager, Heidi, was so helpful as well. Everything was easy as far as arrival and the house had everything we needed to relax as soon as we unpacked.The property grounds and pool and spa are gorgeous. My kids loved swimming in the pool and exploring the grounds. Our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) had plenty of room to spread out. There were so many cozy and view filled spots to sit and enjoy the property or read a good book, of which there are many. There was also a cabinet full of games and a drawer of craft supplies. We loved cooking in the well appointed kitchen with a full array of spices and everything we could possibly need. The coffee bar also had everything we needed! We appreciated the laundry room, the fully stocked supply of beach bags, chairs, snorkel gear and boogie boards!The location is wonderful, we loved being up on the hillside and enjoyed watching the sun set into the ocean. The closest beaches, downtown Kona and grocery stores were only about 10 minutes away. The tiny charming town of Holualoa is just a 4-5 minute drive.This house is truly the perfect vacation house. Everything was so thoughtfully curated and we felt very cared for. Laurens was a kind and thoughtful host who checked in with us and even helped make sure we were able to make it to see episode 50 of Kilauea at Volcano Natl. Park. Just book it and enjoy!

BEST VRBO

Enjoy the well appointed kitchen as every detail has been thought out, organized, and executed. Abundance of towels, snorkel gear, and household amenities greet you. Comfortable beds and pillows. With every screened window and door opened, along with the ceiling fans and the local Hawaiian night sounds, created a relaxing and restful night’s sleep. The home is a display of beauty and charm around every direction, as well as comfort. The grounds and views complete the total ambience of this VRBO experience. Owner provided easy communication before and during our stay. Highly recommend this house as it’s even better in real life than photos.

A truly amazing house!

This was by far the best house we have stayed in on the islands! Everything was spotless and gorgeous. The artwork throughout the house was so beautiful, the surround sound Sonos, the chefs kitchen and the pool and hot tub! The view, the grounds/garden, the fresh oranges, avocado, lemons and limes! The bedrooms are so comfortable, the bathrooms had everything you would ever need. The breezes keep it cool at night which we didn’t know we needed! We loved everything about this house and not one complaint. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and have made it such a welcoming haven, we cannot wait to return!

40th Birthday Girls Trip

Our experience was amazing. Laurens and Kimberly have thought of EVERYTHING. Heart of Hualalai was the perfect base for our big island trip. The house amenities are endless, the hosts attention to detail is unmatched. Between Laurens, Kimberly and Heidi we had all our needs met during our trip and excellent recommendations while on island.The house was so intentionally set up from hooks where you needed them, labels so you knew where everything was, sharp knives, sunscreen, gorgeous pool, breath taking sunset. I could go on! There were 9 of us this trip and we all would highly recommend this house for your next Big island stay!
