Great property with huge potential, it is remote so if you're looking for privacy this is the place. Great location to explore the southern part of the island. Communication with the owners was good, local host was slow with some responses. Sunsets were spectacular.

Can't beat falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing outside and a nice breezing coming in off the ocean. This house is absolutely beautiful. Quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend and visit again!Like what most said...its a bit of a haul in and out of the place so Id suggest loading up on groceries before you arrive.

We enjoyed the solitude, ocean breeze, and stargazing… The location is remote. Driving is challenging at night or in the rain. The Volcano National Park was not too far of a drive and we enjoyed venturing out daily to discover new and interesting sites.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Beautiful patio with swimming and snorkeling down below. Saw dolphins every morning. Peaceful and private away from the congested parts of the area. Ample room, great laundry facilities, wifi, and a smart tv. Tankless water heater so plenty of hot water for showers. You’ll be sad to leave once your trip is over. 10/10!

The house is located right on the ocean. We loved having the windows open and hearing the waves crash on the lava rocks.

We stayed in the location for 10 days July 5-15. The view from the lanai was excellent and the sunsets were beautiful. The master bed room was very roomy and the kitchen was well equipped and fairly well stocked. The second bedroom was a little smaller than we thought, the furniture in the living room is dated and needs to be replaced and needs to be much more comfortable, The drive up and down from the location to the main road is curvy with little railings with bit of a drop off so be sure to get back before dark if possible. It’s a tricky somewhat scary drive at night. It takes about 1 hour to get to Kona and 1;30 to get to Hilo without w lot of shopping areas near the hour! In the summer it’s a little toasty in the house at 3-7 pm even with the fans. It does not cool off from the breeze off the ocean untouched l around 11 pm!

The location is impressive. It’s clear that you are right on the water but until you’re actually there you can’t appreciate how great this location really is. It can be an adventure getting there at night with the roads but that’s much of Hawaii in my experience, and it definitely is part of the experience.

The view and sound of the ocean made me feel like I was on a ship; it is so lovely! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet stay away from it all. The house was clean, had ample cooking supplies, and stayed cool from the cross-breezes and fans througout.

This house was awesome. The amenities, proximity to the ocean, and character of the place were top-notch. The only thing our family didn't love - which was completely on us for not paying attentino and didn't matter enough to affect the rating - was the remoteness. It is great once you're there, but traveling anywhere from the house takes quite a bit of time. That said, we still loved it and would stay here again even with that information.
The view from the deck is breathtaking!

Indoor outdoor living at its best. Windows and sliders all around to take in the sweeping ocean views. This house was closer to the water than all neighboring houses- made it very private. Well equipped kitchen made cooking meals easy. The huge back porch is where we spent most of our time watching the waves crash on the beach. If you snorkel in the nearby beach you will need water shoes and go at low tide when the waves are calm. The snorkeling is worth the effort so do it! We did not want to leave!
