Sunrises and great AC
Staying on the ocean was awesome! Get up early for amazing sunrises with the waves crashing against the rocks. The house was just what our family needed. It was big enough for the eleven people that stayed there. There was even a swimming pool which I don't think was advertised in the listing. Each room had its own AC which made it very comfortable. The kitchen had a decent set of pans to cook with. I'm usually used to mangled secondhand pans that make it difficult to cook.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the oceanfront setting, the beautiful sunrise views, the spacious layout, and the comfort of the home.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the large sliding door. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are planning to do the sliding door and window replacement project in the near future, which will address this issue and further improve the comfort of the home.
We truly appreciate your stay and hope to welcome you and your family back to our oceanfront home in the future!
Beautiful view of the ocean! Property very clean and spacious with lots of amenities! We highly recommend this home especially for families!

Overall a pleasant experience
Pros:Great space for our large group, beautiful views and plenty of amenities provided. Cons:Far away from restaurants and activities, musty smell in the house that lingered even after mitigation by the owners

From the owner: “Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We’re very glad your group enjoyed the spacious layout, beautiful oceanfront views, and the amenities.
Our home is located in a quiet oceanfront residential area, which is why there are no restaurants or commercial activities nearby. We hope you soaked yourself in nature and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.
Regarding the musty smell, the oceanfront location in Hawaii is naturally very humid, and occasionally, moisture in the air can create a temporary mustiness. We responded and mitigated the issue immediately during your stay, and we will continue to improve ventilation and dehumidification to ensure an even better experience for future guests.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to the Big Island.”
This house was just what we needed for our stay. We did a lot of day trips, so it was nice to have a space we could come back to and decompress or rest up for the next adventure.

Really great house, gorgeous views of the ocean, and quiet, safe neighborhood. The long drive in took some getting used to but we really appreciate how off the beaten path it was. Communication with the host was very easy and prompt. Thanks for a memorable vacation!

This is an amazing house with gorgeous ocean views! It was perfect for our family of 7 to relax and recharge after exploring the island. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, away from main roads and attractions providing a wonderful secluded experience. Our kids loved swimming in the pool every evening and watching for lizards, frogs, crabs and of course chickens! Owner was very response and quick to address our needs.

Beautiful scenery, quiet neighborhood easy to find about 30 minutes from stores and places to eat, the drive is Beautiful Greenery….My Family and I Loved it. Haven’t been to Hilo in over 20 years.
This is a lovely home that could use some refreshing. The beds were comfy, the neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet, and there is a lot of parking (we only had one car, but if you had a bigger group, there's room for more). The views out back are stunning. There are plenty of towels for showers and pool. We had an issue with the wifi and the shower in the main BR (this was our lack of understanding of how it works) and we had a resolution from the manager within an hour. The mini-splits kept the home comfortably cool. We would stay again in this property. Thanks to the owners for making it available on the rental market!

House good for a Family vacation
Overall, it was an appropriate size and location for our family. The 5 bedrooms provided privacy for our family. It was nice to have a large gathering space, eating space and kitchen prep area. The location provided amazing sunset views and the private neighborhood was nice for running and walking on the lava. Air conditioning was a bonus as was the washer and dryer. The driveway provided ample space for our cars. The pool was enjoyed by the family. The kitchen appliances, cabinets and sink were old and needed updating. There were 5 beach chairs available in the garage. Unfortunately, we rented during the winter break and our price was inflated compared to what it would be for the same time in 2025.

Our stay in Hawaii
The house was beautiful. The view was beautiful. The pool was amazing. Everything was wonderful. The host was accessible with any questions and everything was just amazing. I recommend this house for anybody that wants to stay in Keaau Anywhere we wanted to go and Hilo was 30 to 45 minutes away, which was not a bad drive. We did travel to the other side of the 2 Hour Dr. but it was worth it. We made a day of it. We were there for my daughters 21st birthday and she had a blast. Everything was amazing. Thank you again if we ever return to Hawaii, I’ll be definitely sure to Please also let me know if you have any other properties on any other islands.
This home offers stunning ocean cliff views and dramatic sunrises that far exceed what the photos capture. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, it’s an ideal spot for relaxation and soaking in the natural beauty. While the house itself is older and dated as you can see in the pictures, the breathtaking surroundings truly make it special.The pool was sparkling clean and a huge hit with our kids, especially with all the pool toys provided. There is not a shallow section for littles, maybe 4.5 to 5 ft deep, but ours were all good swimmers so not an issue for us. Communication was mixed—initial contact was slow and couldn’t answer questions about amenities, but the local contact was quick to respond and helpful. A few things to note:- The grill was a nice surprise, though the propane tank was empty and we were expected to fill it. In past stays that included a grill, it has always been ready for use.- There weren’t enough beach towels for our group, and essentials like a cooler and blender were missing which are commonly included items at a location with a pool and beaches nearby.- Grocery stores and restaurants are roughly a 30-minute drive, so plan ahead if proximity is important.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return—the views alone make this home unforgettable! Thank you, John, for your quick responses!
