Beautiful house and location

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!!!

Relax in Milolii!

What a wonderful place to stay! The property was so clean and the area was quiet . The views from the deck were superb and it made leaving the house for the day very hard! To swim it’s definitely challenging to enter and exit water but worth the effort ! My parents (75) were not able to get in as the terrain to enter and exit was too treacherous . My sister and I enjoyed the paddle boards and I swam everyday! Make sure to plan ahead as the drive “up the hill” is an event! We would definitely stay again - it had the island vibe we were looking for! The property manager was so helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions

Ocean side

It’s a beautiful open home with lots of privacy from neighbors and freedom to explore the ocean. Lovely ocean views and sounds. We mid jump in the ocean and used the snorkel equipment provided. Lots of yellow tangs, parrot fish and the Hawaiian state fish. Not ver many see urchins. Comfortable beds and a peaceful place!

Peaceful Paradise!

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.

Trip to the Big Island

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.

This is a great hide away with some excellent snorkeling for one or two couples looking for quiet rest and relaxation. Close proximity to Volcano National Park. Not ideal for small kids.

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 !

A piece of paradise

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.

Serenity, snorkeling, and starlight!

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!

Great for Relaxation

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.

Wonderful home, beautiful ocean views

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!

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.

Relax and enjoy the ocean.

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.
