    This location is amazing! The house is amazing! And the host and on-site help from Rainbow were amazing! We got so much help, right away, from the host when we had questions before and during our stay and amazing local tips from Rainbow. We had 3 families here for the week of Thanksgiving that included kids 11-16 and 9 people total. The space was perfect for us all with the kids all together in the loft area and adults each had 3 separate, private sleeping areas. We took complete advantage of the included kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkel equipment to explore the Bay everyday, which was also our backyard-you can't get better than that! Incredible views from the shore so we were out on the lanai most of the time. Incredible sea life right outside our door. We got a Costco delivery to stock the house but also easy drive to Kona area for eating out. Easy drive to Volcano National Park. You just can't go wrong with this rental!

    We had a wonderful stay at this home. The location is wonderful and the access to kayaks and paddle boards included with the stay was fantastic for exploring the bay. The home was stocked with all the necessities we needed for the week. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories with our family.

    Beautiful location on the bay. Road down is curvy but the destination is worth it. You could hear talking from public park during early morning hours but again not where it was disruptive, just different. Need to be comfortable with some wildlife ie geckos and insects and definitely store any food on counter in bin provided. Can’t say enough how beautiful the property is and house layout is unique but again beautiful. Layout fit our family group well. If ever back on big island would stay again. Saw whale and spinner dolphins from property and even though high surf limited water time off property the waves were amazing!

    This is a beautiful property with the ocean just steps away from the house. I think the house needs renovations and appliances and beds need replacing. Beds were very uncomfortable. Also, I don’t think this unit should advertise 3 full bathrooms because there were 2 full bathrooms indoors and an outdoor shower that is normally used to rinse off salt water and a toilet and sick located outside but enclosed. Property manager was awesome and cleaning crew did a good job keeping the place clean. One drawback was the bugs. These bugs were drawn to light so I suggest that you eat while it’s still light out. Overall, we had a lot of fun and have no regrets. Lots of great memories.

    Beautiful property and location with access to a protected Marine Nature Reserve and State Park. We were so excited to see whales, spinner dolphins, and eels from the house! Property manager super nice and helpful. It was unfortunate that the hot tub was not working as that had been an important part for us! We were given permission to use adjacent property’s hot tub but felt uncomfortable sharing with other guests. The access to kayaks and snorkel gear was also on shared property. It was really nice kayak(s) and snorkel gear and very good access to beautiful ocean adventures! House is gorgeous with plenty of room for our large party. One downside is location by the State Park was quite noisy at night especially for family in the front room. Despite stormy weather and Hawaiian State of Emergency during our stay, we had a most enjoyable week in a most lovely home. The house is very clean with well equipped kitchen, lovely lounging and eating areas. Also important to note, owner was very kind and flexible in accommodating dates as we had to postpone our 2020 plans and reschedule 2021. Overall a Very very beautiful place for our family holiday gathering!

    The house was absolutely amazing! The view that it offers is truly amazing. My wife and I got married at this property and it could not have turned out any better. Absolutely stunning. Brian and Lori were amazing hosts who helped with any thing that we may have needed. 100% would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a nice relaxing getaway. Truly amazing. Thank you again Brian and Lori!

    Kayaking with dolphins in back yard essentially, was memorable. Property manager and staff easy to work with. Room and beds for 11 of us, and a great deck view of ocean. Lack of A/C and over abundance of bugs were unexpected and challenging, however a great place overall.

    This house was the perfect size and location for our family vacation. With nine people we had the space to spread out and enjoy our time fully. There was a lovely deck facing the beautiful ocean that we used for meals and downtime. The location was ideal for kayaking and snorkeling near the Captain Cook monument. Such a relaxing time.
