Aloha Michael!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home beautiful and clean. It means a lot to know you had a great vacation we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you so much for staying with Paradise in Hawaii!
The house is exactly as advertised and the management is spectacular. They fixed every tiny issue immediately, even bought a new oven same day as ours didn’t work. Hilton passes is a big plus if you have children. So much to do there.Also the house is very well stocked with supplies even for longer stays, don’t need to buy anything, so convenient.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The home and grounds were beautiful and comfortable. The host responded to our requests and inquiries in timely manner to address our concerns.Our disappointment was mainly the condition of several things - broken and outdoor furniture in only fair condition; a failed refrigerator's ice maker (that the host did try to have fixed, thank you!); and patio doors & screens that don't operate easily.

We’re glad to hear that you found the home and grounds beautiful and comfortable, and that our communication was timely in addressing your concerns during your stay. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide a smoother, more seamless experience in the future.
This home is well appointed and so roomy. We were a group of 5 and more could've fit. The pool n jacuzzi were a great amenity. Id suggest the home to any large group. Also close to food, shopping, beaches and more. Great memories were made and for that alone, so worth it.

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed Adventure Awaits and that you made such great use of the pool and the spa. We agree that the open floor plan makes for such a nice space to gather and spend time together. We love that you and your group chose to stay with us, we can't wait to have you back!
The house was absolutely perfect for our family. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we spent most of our time when at the home on the lanai and enjoying the private pool and spa. The layout of the home was great and we had lots of space for everyone. The bonus access to the Hilton pool is such a perk and the kids just loved it! We also really appreciated all the gear provided in the garage. Proximity to shops and beaches was perfect. We cannot say enough great things about this home. Would definitely stay again.

We couldn't be happier to hear what a nice stay you had with us at Adventure Awaits and that you found the home spacious. The Hilton passes are tough to beat and it is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed them. We strive to make our guests' experience memorable. We couldn't be more pleased that you and your family enjoyed the home, what a great way to gather and spend time with one another. It would be our pleasure to have you back one day!
What a wonderful vacation! The home is fantastic. Tons of space, all the extras so you don't need to bring or buy any toys (boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, masks and snokels, bicycles, etc), an amazing backyard with pool and jacuzzi, stocked kitchen, etc. The surrounding area is gorgeous expansive lava fields so the views were great, amazing sunrises and beautiful sunset colors. The property feels very private as well. We will certainly be booking again in the future. Mahalo!

Thank you so much for this truly wonderful feedback! We couldn't be happier that you found Adventure Awaits the perfect fit for your stay on the Big Island! The home has so much to offer and it really sounds like you too full advantage of the amenities provided. We are very much looking forward to having you back!
In fact, this is the second time we stayed at their property. So, the last property was wonderful and we had high expectations for this time as well, and they did not disappointed!
The room facilities are excellent and everything is here for us to enjoy the great nature of the Big Island too. We have a 18 months little daughter, she also loved this property so much that she didn't even want to go out anywhere.
Anyway, they answered all our questions quickly before our stay and provided us with wonderful experiences again. So we will definitely stay their property again next time, honestly they are for sure the best hosts on the Big Island!

Aloha Naomichi! We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful home. We hope that you and your family made lasting memories. We loved having you with us and we hope to see you back soon!
Lovely pool & hot tub, used daily. Comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Only complaint was they have an alarm that goes off if you don’t push a button first (and if you do, you have 7 seconds to get out & close door). They say it’s state law, but we’ve stayed at other places that don’t have this. With our kids being old enough to swim, it was just a bit of a nuisance as the alarm went off multiple times a day. Otherwise, lovely property!

Thank you so much for the feedback, we enjoyed hosting you! We are disappointed that you found the pool alarms a nuisance but we feel the safety of our guests is of the utmost importance. It was a pleasure to host you and your family!
We recently visited the Big Island with our family of 10. Having been fortunate to take many family vacations including over a dozen to Hawaii I must say this property is a fantastic home that met all of our expectations. The home is incredibly equipped with every imaginable kitchen item you’ll need & is very clean. The location is ideal & the community setting is very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the home as all four bedrooms excellent & private along with a wonderful backyard. The passes to the Hilton Waikoloa are an additional significant benefit & easy to use. The hot tub was heated & the pool clean & warm. The communication with property staff was professional & always prompt . I cannot say enough good things about how much we enjoyed this property & our next trip to the big island we’ll book again without hesitation.

We are thrilled that you and your family found Adventure Awaits a perfect fit for your island getaway! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback and also for giving us the opportunity to host you. We couldn't be happier to hear what a nice stay you had and would be absolutely delighted to have you back!
Extremely nice, fully functional home away from plus more. Each room with a TV was very nice. Pleased with baby items that made it much more comfortable for the parents. Recommendations: more detailed cleaning. There were cookies crumbs and chocolate stains between couch cushions . There was some personal item trash left on one of the bathroom shelves. Used tissue left under a bed. One of the adults bike handles was loose and caused trouble with breaking. Fortunately there were no accidents. Also we didn’t move outside cushions to the back bin since they were already out. Thank you very much for contributing to an excellent family vacation!

We're so happy to have played a part in your family vacation and hope to welcome you back again!
Overall we really enjoyed the house. I would probably give it 4 1/2 stars if that was possible. There were just a couple things that kept it from being a five star house. On the positive side: It was clean and new, the location was fabulous with a view over the volcano lava field which allowed for seeing both the sunrise and sunset which are always fabulous. Outdoor TV a nice touch to allow watching the football games while in pool or hot tub. Hot tub heated up really quickly, much quicker than other houses we have stayed at. Kitchen had everything we needed for the cooking we enjoy doing. There were, though a few things that could be improved. There weren't enough outdoor lounge chairs for everyone. There were only two and they were not of the quality that one would expect in a house that in this price range. The outdoor couch looked nice and was functional but also wasn't high quality. There were a few blow up tubes and a recliner for the pool, but no way to blow them up other than your mouth and trying to blow up a recliner by mouth is no fun. We did it and then noticed there was a small hole in it and in an hour it had deflated. Also the sprinklers for the back yard would come on during the day while we were outside. Those should go on in the middle of the night. All in all though we really enjoyed the house and would recommend it highly. The plusses more than outweighed the negatives and the negatives did not prevent us from having a great stay.

Thank you so much for providing such detailed feedback. We are thrilled that you seemed to really enjoy the home and the amenities. The sprinklers intentionally go off for about 15 minutes during the day to avoid any noise waking up guests at night, in addition to the lounge chairs shown in the photos on the listing there are 10 additional chairs in the garage that can be brought out to enjoy. Regarding the inflatable toys, this is not something that we provide and were left by the guest prior to your stay and have since been removed. It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we hope that you made some lasting memories together!
When we opened the door we were met with an overpowering odor of mildew/mold. One source was the washer. Maintenance came but had no effect. We then found mold in the machine, cleaned it out ourselves and purchased bleach and baking soda and ran it several times. The smell improved but was still present. In addition, the dryer was broken and in the garage; it was repaired 5 days into our stay.The strong mildew odor also came on whenever the AC was running and permeated sheets and towels. We asked for assistance immediately but it took 3 days for service and in the meantime we couldn't use the AC. The management company tried to shift responsibility by claiming it was vog (volcanic smog), but it was obviously mildew, the same odor as the washer. After servicing we could still smell mildew, but it may have been the washer, not the AC. In any event, one member of our party sneezed whenever the AC operated so we did without AC the entire stay.The sliding doors to the lanai were stuck and took a lot of force to open and close. And the footrest to the recliner just collapsed because it was not bolted to its base.We rent houses in Hawaii every year and have never had a bad experience. The worst part here is that there was never any acknowledgement of the problems. Not even an apology, even though there's no dispute that the house smelled bad for at least 3 days of our trip. There are many houses to rent in Hawaii--avoid this one!

We strive to make every guest happy and have an exceptional experience. All of our homes rated the highest amongst all others on the Big Island. As you can see from the prior to this guest and after, the home is well equipped and we have an extremely attentive team. Our professional team went through the home at various times when the guests called and no one could detect any smell. We do all that we can to assist our guests but we cannot improve something that we cannot detect.
