"This little Jewel by the Sea surpassed our expectations. The house was just as it was described and even better. Your special attention to details starting with the directions was so appreciated. The welcome basket, the champagne, the informative tips and written notes made us feel so safe and well taken care of. This was our first trip to Hawaii. I know we will be back. You have exquisite taste and a great sense of warmth judging from the decor. My favorite thing to do every morning was to go outside and lay on the chaise lounge in the lanai. In the evening after a relaxing hike or a snorkel, the jacuzzi was in order. We did helicopter over the volcano, bike riding and wine tasting, zoo, macadamia nut factory, farmers market...But inevitably always came back to Mika Lani. It is truly heavenly."

Positive Rating
"We share all of the positive comments made by previous guests of Mika Lani. Notably its location and very thoughtful design made our stay most pleasurable and unforgettable. Mika Lani is equipped with every item that contributes to a wonderful holiday. We look forward to visiting this house again and will recommend it to friends."

"This is a lovely place. We thoroughly enjoyed being here. Thoughtful treats from you were enjoyed and appreciated. Wonderful vistas and sunrises. The full moon on our first night - incredible - and the waves lit up underneath. Bird watching galore - even saw a night heron one eveing and the fish!...At night we were just about the only humans here. You provided everything we needed and we left a few items we brought from Kona...We hope to return - only problem is your place is so popular, it looks like it is booked for the date we hope for - may have to change our dates to return. Our last night here we saw the glow of the lava flow in the distance. Love this side of the island, especially being on the sunny Kapoho area. Mahalo."

"Thank you very much for letting us stay here for our honeymoon for a week. A week isn't long enough to fully explore everything the Big Island has to offer and we are sad to leave this beautiful house. We think it would be hard to find a better view or a more peaceful location anywhere in the world! We really appreciated all the touches that made our stay so special. We will always remember our honeymoon. Mahalo and all the best."

"Mahalo for letting us discover this magic place and its paradise surroundings! We fell in love at first sight when we opened the door and remained speechless till the last precious moment when we had to say goodbye to Mika Lani. We loved it so much, we moved our flight back to Poland to stay longer - unfortunately our 'home away from home' had been fully booked and we had to go. We truly hope to come back again! We've enjoyed every moment and every tiny piece of this 'jewel by the sea'. We couldn't have asked for more of holiday..experience..atmosphere..joy..magic. Mahalo."
