Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(15 traveler reviews)
Seniors
We stayed one week and saw whales almost everyday. Loved going to sleep each night with the doors and windows open and to the sound of the surf. The upper unit was clean and well supplied. We cooked several meals and found available what we needed. Highly recommend the rental.
Served our needs perfectly!
Only two of us, but ended up staying in both units. Top was marvelously breezy and being close enough to the ocean to hear it while you slept or hung out was awesome. Bottom unit was huge and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking.
Rented whole house end of Feb 2016
Just writing this to help future renters - the additional info certainly would've been helpful to know before hand for me and my friends:
Pros -
sleeps 7 comfortably
Walking distance to the water's edge (no sand, just rocks)
Fridges/ stoves on each floor
Bathrooms on each floor
Lots of towels/ linens
Closet space and drawers
Large dining room table on first floor level
Automatic exterior entrance lights
Huge patio and great Views
Cons -
No water pressure. Only one faucet can be used at a time or you completely lose water pressure (includes kitchen sink, bathroom sink, showers, washer)
Dishes not microwavable safe OR dishwasher safe.
Dishwasher not connected to water line - cant use. Must hand wash everything :(
Screen doors difficult to slide/ prevent from coming off the tracks.
No grill brush provided (contradicts description) - part of our security deposit was retained since we couldn't clean the grill properly.
Tiny ants in the kitchens (esp near the windows).
All the ocean noise! Hard to sleep unless windows are closed (then its too hot).
No AC!
Was there in Feb and did not see or hear any whales (contradicts description) although we tried!
Did not use the kayaks although they were available and looked to be in good shape.
Another thing to note is that unlike in past VRBO rentals, there is nothing in the pantry but salt and pepper. Had to buy additional cleaning supplies such as garbage bags/ laundry detergent which are usually included.
Also, not to seem nit-picky, but the description of the house says that it is PINK - there is only a very small portion of the exterior painted a pale pink... this only matters in locating the house since not all the houses in the area have numbers.
Overall good place if you are spending more time exploring the island than at home.
Fantastic property
Three of us stayed on the lower floor and had a wonderful time. I really can't think of anything that would have improved our stay. There is a well-equipped kitchen that we loved and the little touches were great too (like fluffy towels - you seem to never get those in a hotel). We particularly liked the little cove below the house for snorkelling. The beach in Honomalino was great too.
We also appreciated the contrast between this house and the 'resort' we stayed at the following week in Honolulu. This beach house was a little bit of paradise. The place in Waikiki was a bit like the strip in Vegas.
We will be visiting again. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.
Thanks for a great holiday.
Peace and tranquility
We stayed here for a week in January 2014 and found the place to be like "home". It is well equipped, spacious and cosy at the same time. It is very quiet and has spectacular views of the coast line. The bed was very comfortable with a view of the stars! Lots of windows and a large deck make you feel outside all the time.
A great place to Get Away!
Peaceful Setting
We had a very peaceful week at Milolii Beach House during Christmas 2013. There were just two of us with the whole house rented because at the last minute our traveling mates were unable to join us. We were so glad when we arrived that we had access to the upper lanai. It is huge and comes complete with a dining area, lounge chairs and even a Queen size bed (with mosquito netting) for reading or resting during the day, or for sleeping under the stars at night. The views are truly stunning. We weren't able to partake in any water sports the week we were there as the ocean was wild with record high waves and tropical turbulence but that in itself was something amazing to experience and view from this property. We will return to stay at this wonderful Beach House and use the kayaks and snorkelling gear that the hosts provide for their guests use.
Thanks for a much needed and most restorative week in paradise!
Map
Milolii is known throughtout the islands for its deep sea fishing, and clear waters. The 'last fishing village' in Hawaii is just a 10 minute drive within the Milolii Beach Lots subdivision, where a secret trail leading to a coconut beach (Honomalino) offers fantastic snorkeling. The village has a County boat ramp and camp grounds, and offers easy access for kayaking and deep sea fishing. Milolii offers some of the most undeveloped stretches of coastline on the Big Island, with secret beaches to explore. Seasonal whale watching and Spinner Dolphins. As many as 10,000 Humpback Whales visit the Hawaiian waters annually from November through May. These endangered mammals enjoy the state's warm waters in the winter to breed, give birth and nurse their young. Spectacular sunsets can be viewed directly from the beachhouse. Have your camera ready! Milolii...'where the sun meets the sea' and everyone says hello!
