Beautiful location and home! It was perfect for our family trip which included nine people. Very comfortable and very clean, with an excellent view. Nancy was great with any questions. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again, highly recommend.
This may have been our favorite VRBO stay ever. Nancy, the host, was helpful and welcoming. There was plenty of room for our large group. The grounds and pool area were beautiful. The home was well-stocked, including plenty of beach and pool toys, and baby items. Best of all, the location was stunning. We didn’t have to leave the premises to enjoy spectacular, close-up ocean views.
My family and a couple friends had a wonderful stay at this property. The place was comfortable, private, and had a lot of amenities you'd take for granted at a hotel or resort. It was also conveniently located near a main road and grocery store. Highly recommended.
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.
Nancy is an outstanding host! She’s always thoughtful and quick to respond. Her property has an exceptional view, is very clean, well decorated, and has a wonderful pool and yard. We will definitely come again!
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.
We can’t say enough good about our time here. The home was just as described and had everything we needed and more. The location is amazing, beautiful views and the sounds of the ocean all day and night. Nancy was helpful and easy to work with and gave us good recommendations. The check in and out process was so easy. We would love to stay here again!!!
The house and grounds were wonderful. Perfect for our family of all ages. We contacted the host for any issues and they were very responsive and helpful. Great quiet neighborhood with a short walk to a fun rocky beach for exploring. The pool and view were the real highlight! We hope to be back again!
This home is exactly what the pictures show plus more. There was enough room for 9 of us to stay together for our parents 50th wedding anniversary. Nancy was very easy to work with. The sunsets are amazing every night.
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!
Amazing Property in an Amazing Location!!! Worth every penny and the pictures on line only give a snap shot of the beauty of this property. From picture perfect sunsets to listening to waves crash on shore while we slept we were constantly in awe. Owners were so kind and provided great communication.
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.
We had the most amazing time at this home. The house(s) were absolutely perfect for our 2 families!! The view was breathtaking and the landscaping immaculate. The pool was huge and the entire property was filled with amenities that were appreciated!! This was by far the best rental home our 2 families have ever stayed in! Nancy was great to work with and we would love to revisit this home one day!
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!
I can’t say enough about how amazing this property is, and how gracious the host is. I brought my entire family here to the big island, and we all enjoyed so much, and it could not have been any better. Thank you Nancy. Mahalo!
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. MAHALO!
This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 13. The location is spectacular overlooking the ocean. The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool. Nancy was a wonderful host promptly answering any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our visit to Hawaii.
Everything about our two week stay was great. The house, ocean view, lots of supplies, pool toys for the kids, close proximity to grocery store and a private setting were all perfect for 3 generations to enjoy. Nancy is very helpful and always responds quickly to answer questions. We hope to return again! Thank you Nancy and Hui!
The check in process was very smooth and quick, Nancy was fast at responding to all of my questions. The house is located on a perfect piece of property that gives you the best views for sunsets with privacy. Our family really enjoyed the pool and hot tub at all times of the day. We were a group of 9, and there was still plenty of space available. This truly was the best property that we have stayed at in Kona. We can't wait to plan another vacation back.
We were a family of 10 and we were not crowded at all. The grounds and pool were wonderful. The best pool we have had over previous rental locations. Nancy was very easy to communicate with quick responses to all questions. The house and ohana were very comfortable and well appointed. Close to beaches and shopping. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of beach equipment available (SUP, kayak, snorkeling gear). Highly recommend this place.
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.
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.
