A perfect place to relax and unwind.

You know the place is great when her husband texts the kids and says the following: Mom picked a beautiful spot for our last 7 days! We can walk 100 yards to snorkel, and the VRBO is almost unbelievable. Aloha!!!

Our stay was so incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The neighborhood is very quiet and perfect for walking any time of day taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean. No whale sightings but the dolphins sure did put on a show as we watched from the expansive deck. The bed was SO comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed.

Throughly enjoyed the home for our six day stay. I'd highlight the back deck for the sunset views and the 24-7 ocean waves. We even saw a few whales as they went by (usually the hour before sunset) A great place to star gaze if you happen to be here on a moonless night. You do get used to the long winding road/drive down to the property (although it can be intimidating after dark). There was a nearly constant ocean breeze during our stay. I'd recommend opening the screened windows and slider doors for the fresh breeze to flow thru the house. Only a couple of mosquitos were encountered outside the whole week. We'd love to and plan to stay again.

Loved this location. The sounds alone transported me to a relaxed state. The road from the belt road to the property is a mountain path covered in asphalt so driving at night is slow. The drive is more than worth it. There is a beach a short drive and short hike away that can't be missed. There was one person on the beach other then me when I walked down. It was the best beach I saw on the island. The home is clean, well kept, and begs keeping the doors and windows open at all times. There are coffee farms and volcano access within a short drive on the main road. I will return.

Perfect location on the ocean. Private and quiet. Great Deck and access to water. Master bedroom and shower overlooking ocean is fantastic. Very clean and layout is a 10. Geikos add to the ambience. Do all your own cooking and grilling so bring food !

Loved this property. The amazing views from every room of the home were amazing. Nice and secluded - just like I wanted. Had a rental car so we were still able to tour so many beautiful sights on the island.

We had a lovely time, unbelievable view and location! Spotted whales and dolphins our last day from the deck! Thank you!

This is exactly what we were looking for in our first trip to the Big Island. On the ocean and experience the lava flow from the Volcano National Park. Sarah was fantastic and super responsive. The house was amazing. We were able to fall asleep easily to the crashing waves against the rocks. Full disclosure, if you aren't used to Hawaii roads and switch backs, please note the drive to the property may be a challenge for you but no different than the Appalachian area on the mainland. The lanai was amazing to play cards, watch the sunset, and then the amazing night sky with so little light pollution you can take in all the constellations. We were very pleased with our visit to the Big Island and staying at this property.

Our last night we were eating dinner on the lanai watching the sunset and a whale cruised by. Great ending to a great trip.

We couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay. From snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, to watching the sunset over the Pacific, this house is a must see. We traveled here all the way from Florida and we are already planning a return trip.

This beach house is in a great location. The house is clean, great kitchen, 2 bathrooms with amenities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. AMAZING VIEWS. Our last 2 days we watched whales. The night sky offered plenty of stars. Beach front property. We cannot wait to return.

This is the second time my sister and I stayed at this property. It is very peaceful at this location and if we were any closer to the ocean we would be in it. The home is clean with excellent kitchen and bathroom amenities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I highly recommend the property and will always stay here when visiting the big island!

This property is on a gorgeous spot in a quiet, tranquil neighborhood! From the beautiful rainbows in the morning to the stunning stars at night, you can enjoy the beauty of the island without the crowds even on spring break! And the snorkeling was out of this world just steps away!

Loved this location so much! It’s remoteness and quiet area is what attracted us to this listing. Right on the water and able to swim and snorkel. No sandy beaches but beautiful and different lava rock all around. Highly recommend for adults.

We spent lots of hours on the dock fishing, lots of fun. The views are amazing. Couldn’t have been more satisfied. Thank you.

We especially enjoyed the spectacular surf, whale sightings, and big deck overlooking the lava rocks. The rooms are large and inviting. There were a lot of little touches we appreciated—snorkel gear, coolers, beach towels, sharp kitchen knives, a good supply of basic condiments. The surf was particularly high during our stay so we couldn’t swim near the house, but we appreciated the tips about other recommended spots.

Drive to house from Rte. 11 is an adventure, should be explained. Sliding doors to Master Bedroom screech loudly, need silicone, dining room chair (moved to corner) has a wobbly seat, needs tightening. Overall, extremely enjoyable stay.

Beach front property spectacular views. Far from city life. Make sure you stop at the store before checking in. Friendly and quiet neighbors. 1 hour from Kona airport and approx 1 1/2 hours from volcano park.

We love staying at this home. It is absolutely beautiful in all weather. When it’s calm the snorkeling is superb, when it it’s raining and stormy, the waves are beautiful to watch. This was our 2nd time here and we plan to come again next year. Suzi responded promptly to a minor malfunction and had it fixed in minutes. Great area for those who want to relax and enjoy being away from the crowds. One of our favorites for sure in all of Hawaii.

We loved this very open concept house right on the water. The view looking over the ocean is amazing. The neighborhood/village of miliolii is very rugged and rough, in every sense of the word. Overall, it was a good base camp for us for the first part of our trip as we explored the South half of the island and volcano national park. Would stay here again
