What a paradise location!

My husband and I were looking for a property that was close to both the Hilo area and the volcanoes so this seemed in the middle of both. I liked the fact that it wasn't commercial with lots of people and seemed private. What a beautiful property and the owners were very nice to deal with in setting up the reservation. They sent plenty of information that we needed in advance of our arrival. Once we got to the island and located Mika Lani (excellent directions, by the way !!!) , we were amazed to find a wonderful home full of amenities and right on the water. No loud surf, but just the gentle tidal pools that were loaded with fish. Snorkeling was AMAZING and my husband used 3 rolls of films shooting the coral and fish in his underwater camera. We had breakfast on the front lanai every morning to the amazing views and the birds chirping and fish jumping. What a relaxing place. You will love the serenity here. The facility is REALLY clean, down to the BBQ Grill, hottub, and washer and dryer. There is nothing that you will need that this home doesn't supply. There are snorkel masks, fins, kayaks, towels, a nice welcoming basket of goodies and even champagne. The kitchen is VERY well equipped! Everything was thought of by the gracious hosts. We will come back to the islands at some point and we will stay at Mika Lani again. We highly recommend this vacation rental! Don't hesitate to rent this spot. For the price, you'll have a wonderful spot that would be hard to beat. We highly recommend Mika Lani!
Owner response:Mahalo for sharing your enthusiasm concerning your stay at Mika Lani, Jewel-by-the-Sea. It makes us very happy to hear how our many guests have enjoyed this magical, little known paradise. It is truly Hawaii at its finest - and at its least commercial. We appreciate your taking the time to write about your vacation. It helps us to know what the guests like so that we can maintain our high standards. We look forward to having you back at Mika Lani. Aloha, Jamie and Lola

Our last, slow, sunny breakfast on the lanai. It's quiet after the exuberance of the Thanksgiving weekend. We're thankful for the peace and sheer beauty of this lovely piece of paradise. Every moment has been memorable - from the bubbly surprise chilling in the fridge to the basket of Hawaiian goodness to the nightly serenade. And the snorkeling! Fascinating and safe with a new discovery each time. Thank you for sharing. Aloha

Scotty and I are still here in the "amazing space" for another 5 days, but I have to say many Mahalo's to you Both. This really is a Magical Place. All this was a surprise to me from Scotty, and I have to say with tears, happy one's that I absolutely love it here! I had no idea where we were going, and this this is so wonderful. Mahalo, for the great "welcome basket" and the champagne, how thoughtful and how nice. The fish in the Lagoon and Pond have been something I will never forget.

Opening the front gate and stepping into a dream... I felt like the little girl stepping through the wardrobe and into a magical world of beauty, wonder, and surprise. Seriously Jamie & Noi, your place is just...WOW. Beyond words. Thank you for thinking of and providing for every last little detail at your perfect beach refuge and for making it accessible for a person of relatively humble means. I never would have thought I'd be able to stay in a place like this. Thank you, thank you!

There are times in our lives when, somewhat planned, some what unexpectedly, when through time and place and spirit we connect or re-connect with people we love. This is that place. And it happened for me and Jennifer, over her birthday. Thank you for everything and, I hope you know, understanding on some level, cherishing deeply perhaps, the effect you have on other people's lives through your wonderful home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Aloha and Mahalo. We'll be back

Date entered: 12/06/2010 We spent a lovely week here at Mika Lani. We especially enjoyed hiking around Kilauea Iki crater and visiting Volcano National Park, snorkeling in the "backyard", sitting in the hot tub under the stars on our last night, and enjoying Passion Fruit pancakes! Thanks for the memorable vacation!

At home I enjoyed watching HGTV. I see the amazing vacation homes and ooh and ahh over them. Well, now I've stayed in one of them! Your home here is as beautiful and incredible as those I've seen and dreamed about. The first night here we were lying out in your lounge chairs looking at the incredible array of stars and Jim said, "What could be closer to heaven?" Jewel by the Sea is indeed heavenly. We've used the time to relax,be still, walk and swing (love your rope chairs).
