All went according to plan, this lovely place is just as advertised. Definitely on the water, the crashing waves are loud.Worked well for two couples, although the pool house is just a bed and bath, no seating area, but a half fridge and a coffee station, plus the washer and dryer.The pool is cool and dreamy for floating in and the April sunsets were gorgeous.Very well appointed with dishes, cooking utensils, towels, pool floats, and the barbecue worked well.There’s not air-conditioning, but the trade winds and the fans kept us cool.Extremely responsive property management, we never had any issues or concerns, but knew we could contact them at any moment if necessary.We will be happily remembering this lovely vacation place for a long, long time.

Senior trip

Me and my two teenage daughters booked this home. A trip of a lifetime! The view was amazing—the neighborhood felt safe and secure. I loved the gate for the added security. Everything is close-restaurants, beaches, rentals…We loved having our own pool with a view that could compete with any on the island. The communication was great and so friendly. We didn’t want to leave!!! Thank you for sharing your home!!!!

From the minute we walked into this beautiful home, I knew it was going to be a magical plane My two daughters joined my husband and I and the house was perfect for us 4. From waking up with the sun sipping coffee on the lanai, to falling asleep to the crashing waves… our stay was perfect. Tuttle Rock is a private oasis offering peace and tranquility!

The home itself was in the best location I’ve ever seen- I could surf my heart out and when I’d lost feeling in my arms, I could watch the surf from my lanai or even while chilling in the pool. Splendid home, splendid stay.

Beautiful property with ocean views from every room . Foot steps from one of the best snorkeling spots on the island . If you are a surfer just hop out the beach gate and paddle out to one of the best surf spots . The pool is perfect if you are just looking to relax in the sun . The property manager is courteous and available for any of your needs .This property has everything for a perfect Big Island vacation . We used to always stay in Waikoloa but we definitely will be coming back here !

One of the best vacation rentals ever.

Best snorkeling beach short 5 min walk away. Fabulous views off deck, enjoyed watching surfers, and beautiful sunsets. Pool a blessing on humid days and evenings. Excellent location-5 min drive to KTA grocery store and 20 min drive to eaterys and other shopping. Centralized location for exploring the island. Used and enjoyed on-site snorkel and pool accessories. Beautifully maintained grounds and pool, house open and airy, fans a plus, comfortable secure location. Management company (Blake) attentive and responsive. We were well rested and relaxed at the end of our 10 day vacation - would love to return.

Heavenly views

The place is just as beautiful as you hoped it would be. The turquoise ocean surrounds you in the den, kitchen and bedrooms! It is maybe the most peaceful place ever! Having the private pool is wonderful; get prepared to get an island tan while watching nearby surfers everyday. The house is very modern with every amenity. The comfy chaise lounges and outdoor dining table make it perfect - we also used the grill. The only issue we had was the number of security cameras onsite, which was a bit disconcerting; however, overall, it was a gorgeous property and we would highly recommend!
