Phenomenal coastal property with beautiful sunsets and all day sun! Quiet secluded location allowing for great family time! Great access to coffee tours, the volcano national park, black sand and green sand beaches.

We are so fortunate to have the best guests at The Cove at Milolii. Nathan and his family arrived and were hit by a 6.0 earthquake an hour after arriving. ( the last earthquake of that magnitude was in 1951). Fortunately only a few broken glasses. Nathan even offered to help if we needed after the earthquake. We have the best guests. They were very adventurous and got to visit many island sites. We can give Nathan and his family a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review and recommend them to any future hosts. Aloha 🌴✈️❤️

We had a wonderful stay at the cove. The house is as advertised, beautiful views and plenty of peace and quiet. The snorkeling in the cove in front of the house was wonderful, so many fish and saw a turtle. The pool is amazing with a true infinity view facing west for all the sunsets. Plenty of room for our party of eight. Highly recommended.

The place is great and spacious. The view is spectacular. Everything in the listing is as described. I would highly recommend this place if you can handle two things. You want peace and quiet because you are a bit away from a lot of the island. You are close to the volcano national park and the southern tip. Both are recommended. The other thing you have to handle is no air conditioning. There are ceiling and table fans and you can open the house up to get air flow through the house. But know that you are subject to the whims of the temp and humidity somewhat while staying here. If you can handle this then I cannot recommend this place enough. The pool and hot tub were big hits for our short stay.

This is a beautiful and welcoming property inside and out and was equipped with a large variety of games to keep us occupied. The hot tub is perfect for viewing the stars at night and the covered patio has a large table for outside dining and games. It’s the perfect place to relax and recharge.

We loved our stay at the Cove! The pool and hot tub were amazing. The drive to and from the house is an experience of its own. Just plan on lots of driving if you stay here. About an hour to just about anything.

Our stay at Milolii was perfectly wonderful. Exactly as advertised, relaxed comfort and amazing view. The home was well stocked and equipped with everything needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and looking over the cove to the gorgeous Pacific. Most of our days were spent site seeing but having Milolii to return each evening made each day that much more special. Thank you for a glorious time on the Big Island. Hope to return some day!

I usually stay at Mauna Kea or Four Seasons and have rented homes all over the world. This home is the best I’ve been in. The location is breathtaking every minute of the day. There’s very little it doesn’t have besides fresh food and people who cook will find just about anything you’d need to make a great meal for many. I can’t wait to return!

This was our second time staying at this house and it felt like coming home. The entire house is well stocked, comfortable and welcoming. Be sure to stock up on groceries before you drive down and enjoy your own private paradise you'll never want to leave.
