    Excellent view of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, we had a great time. The area is quiet, beautiful and safe. I highly recommend this amazing house. You do need to have a car to travel everywhere. Wake up early and come back early because it gets very dark right away.

    The hot tub and pool can be heated! The owner has a fully equipped kitchen that is extremely well labeled for ease of use. Outdoor seating can accommodate 8-10 guests if needed. Owner is very pleasant to work with and readily answers questions beyond what is explained in folder.

    We are repeat visitors at Michelle's villa, and it never disappoints! We have stayed at other Wai Ula Ula villas over the years, and we keep wanting to come back to Michelle's specifically! She and her house managers are quick communicators and make the whole process from booking, through the vacation, to the inevitable sad departure super easy! The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, and well-stocked. The set up is fabulous for our family. We love the beautiful surroundings, and we always enjoy the high end amenities of this spectacular villa and the Mauna Kea resort. We will definitely be back! Thank you Michelle!!

    Home is beautiful, perfectly described and exceeded expectations. Our 2 families, + 84 yr old mom stayed here for 6 amazing nights! The home was enjoyed by the whole family, from cartwheels on the plush grass, the sunrise views on short walks, to star gazing almost every night, to the home having everything you could possibly need, easy to find and plenty of it! Communication with Michelle and the local manager was always without delay. This trip was to celebrate 3 birthdays in our family and it was super special!. ??
