Great place and great location!

The condo is very nice. Very clean, great amenities and the host focuses on the details to make your stay very comfortable with all you would hope for in a vacation rental. 50 yards to the beach and 75 yards to a great restaurant for happy hour, food and outdoor seating to take in the sunset. I highly recommend this.

Absolutely Wonderful!

The location was perfect! We chose it since our cousins were only 20 minutes away and could not have been happier. The vibe was incredible listening to the ocean and everything was very serene and peaceful. The house was well-stocked and clean. We are already talking about our next visit!

The waves

It was our first time to Big Island and wanted to get as much in as possible. The house was sweet, the waves crashing on the lava rocks was mesmerizing, the house was clean, a bit older than expected but it was clean, neat and tidy. The only thing was we didn’t realize the amount of time it would take to get to Volcano National Park and the amount of time you would spend driving around it. Overall we had a wonderful time in the evenings playing card games and listening to the waves.

About the host

Hosted by Liv

My husband and I are both born and raised in Hawaii. I came from Oahu and am proud to be of Hawaiian descent. My husband was born in Kona, but raised in Kalapana on the Big Island of Hawaii, before the lava came and took it away. He brought our family back to the Big Island 12 years ago where we have been ever since. The vacation rental is ours and my dad's house. My dad bought it in the hopes of moving to a peaceful, less crowded place than Oahu someday. We have been managing our family vacation rental since 2007.
Our main goal is to make our malahini(tourist) love the Big Island as much as we do and we put every ounce of aloha in our rental(s) and in keeping our house(s) comfy and clean. If you are looking for cleaners for your own vacation rental, please consider us to help. We really enjoy taking care of vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

The way the house is designed, you have an ocean view from anywhere in the house making it unique compared to other vacation rentals. All of us enjoy it here on the east side of the Big Island because it feels as though you are in 'true' Hawaii, not the over developed parts of Oahu, Maui and the west or Kona side of the Big Island. It is definitely a place where you can enjoy nature at its finest. Plus it is a safe place to raise our three sons and to be able to teach them the ways of Hawaii life such as fishing, diving, surfing, and farming.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about this house is seeing whales just offshore during the winter season. It is amazing to be able to sit and watch the ocean with all its marine life (turtles, fish, whales, opihi, etc...). FYI-if you are looking for turtles, you need to look under the water in the surf(polarized glasses help). They aren't sitting on the rocks in plain sight. Aloha a hui hou!
