    This home provided a great home base for our group as we explored the surrounding area. It was very spacious and had all the equipment needed for a great day at the beach!

    We loved this place. A nice spacious house with back and front patios perfect for sitting outside. The location was excellent with the lava rock beach featuring daily sea turtle visits across the street on quiet Puako Beach Drive. We like to avoid resorts so this was just the spot - thanks for having us!

    We had a spectacular time. The house is beautiful and having all of the beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, etc. really helped. The kitchen well appointed for cooking and the gas grill was great. Mahalo

    Loved the house. A block away from beautiful lava made beach with tide pools where you can meet turtles every morning. Also very close to nice beaches. Convenient location to get to Hawi, Waipio, Waimea, Hilo etc. the house has also beautiful backyard with hammock, flowering trees, front deck with nice sitting area. A responsible house manager who was very helpful in fixing issues.

    A roomy, comfortable house in a great area with access to the beach just across the street. Sara, and also Jameson, are very available to smooth out any bumps.

    Very comfortable and charming house across the beach from a lava beach. House is well stocked and all the beach equipment you could possibly need. The back third guesthouse is adorable even though we didn’t need it. I would stay here again!

    We knew where we wanted to stay on the big island, and this house fit the bill. Across the street from the ocean, you can hear the waves crashing and feel the breeze dancing through the windows -- especially at night. There are bikes, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, chairs -- everything you need for a day or two at the beach. The kitchen has everything you need. The next time we visit the Big Island, we will certainly stay here again.

    Good overall property. Location was great, Sara was awesome and house was pretty good. There were a few attention to details that would have made this a 5 star property for me. All of the outdoor seating was covered if very thick dust/dirt and Yard debris. It is windy there however I cleaned it when we got there and it wasn’t as dirty when we left s week later as it was when we arrived to the property. The white couches are a nice touch but very stained and feel dirty since it wasn’t a practical color for the beach environment. It made it hard to cozy up on them with all the dirt stains and lastly the dressers are not very functional and would get stuck constantly to where I would have to leave the drawers open so I could access my clothes. These changes would make this a 5 start stay for me. Nice property and a great location
