We loved the house, it suited us perfectly with 10 adults and 4 kids. The bunk beds were great. Beds were comfortable. The yard and pool kept the kids so busy, it was enjoyable for us to watch them. The volleyball net was a bonus, we had a tournament which all of us partipated in. The kitchen and dining room table was perfect. And all the patio tables outside was enough room for all of us.We would definately return in the future. Thanks so much for everything.

The sunsets were amazing from this property. I truly enjoyed watching them every night. There were 13 family members staying at the house and there was plenty of room. Being my 60th birthday, my husband and I had the master bedroom. I thought it was fantastic, especially the lanai. Nancy was quick to respond with any questions. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect Ohana Home

A little private slice of Hawaiian heaven! This home is perfect for a family looking to enjoy the island. Beautifully manicured property with a perfect pool to enjoy while enjoying the Hawaiian coast scenery. The house was stocked with all the essentials you need to enjoy your stay plus all beach supplies to venture out. There were even thoughtful children’s items for play, sleep, and pool safety & fun. It was a perfect stay and for our whole family to come together and we’re already discussing our next visit. Thank you!

Thanksgiving Holiday

Our family of 13, including an infant and 5 year old twins, had a great time over the Thanksgiving holiday. The property had plenty of room for all of us, and we had great time using the pool and watching spectacular sunsets each evening. The whales were just arriving from Alaska, and that was a unique experience.

An Amazing Place to Gather

Three generations of family made the He'eia Bay House and Cottage our home base for a wonderful week on the Big Island. No matter where we all went during the day, we loved coming back to the most beautiful sunsets viewed from the patio (and from inside the pool!). The bedrooms and living spaces fit our needs perfectly and the host was very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Great for the family

We had 13 people stay at this ocation ranging from a 3 year old to a 66 year ol. The house and cottage worked excellent for our group. The place was clean and tody and all amenities were in good shape. Obviously the pool got the most use from the kids. Location is great unless you want to be near the busy part of town, nice and quiet for us and there was easy access to the main roads when we wanted. Overall an outstanding stay in a great location.

Fantastic Vacation Property

This property was perfect for our family vacation. 10 people stayed 9 nights at the house. The house, pool, hot tub, yard, and waterfront views was amazing, even better than we expected. We ate majority of our meals at the house as the views were better that any restaurant or any luaus. The house, pool, and yards are very well maintained. Everything was clean, well-organized, and easy to use. The house is in a great location. Several beaches & shopping nearby, but the location maintains privacy. The house can easily accommodate 14 people. It was perfect property for us and we would recommend this for a large group who wants to be water front with fantastic water views.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The location of this property (ocean view and proximity to adventures) was incredible. The pool, patio, and ample yard were our favorite things about this house. We would explore in the morning and come hang and relax for the rest of the day. My family of 4 stayed in the cottage. It was like a second home and the hide-a-bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. If we return to the big island, we will 100% choose this house again! Thanks so much Nancy!

Fantastic and Beautiful Family Vacation Property!

We rented this fabulous large vacation property in the Keauhou Bay area for a large family summer gathering. Everything about this property; location, setup, amenities and our host Nancy made this a very memorable family vacation. We enjoyed the large backyard area with the pool, badminton, and BBQ areas overlooking the beach. We utilized the short access to the beach to go snorkeling and swimming while enjoying some of the most beautiful sunsets. This really is the perfect location for a Hawaiian vacation and Nancy the host will be as accommodating and helpful as possible. Craig & Pearl

Kona oceanfront

We enjoyed the property and stay very much. We had 7 total and didn't use the guest house, so the property can comfortably hold 10 or more. Nice, open space and swimming pool. Phenomenal sunset views every night, and the sound of the waves crashing are two of the highlights. We stayed in the house for the Ironman triathlon. 5 miles from the race venue so close enough to the action yet we had the privacy of a home.
