We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as pictured and the hosts provided many essentials needed to get the week started. We were also pleasantly surprised by the beach items and other kid friendly toys, books, etc. We would definitely stay again!

Thank you for the amazing review, we appreciate it!!
It was a great house for our group of 10. It was a good location. We had an issues with ants but they brought us ant bait. The house was clean and had most things we needed. I would suggest stocking a group of 10 for 10 days with more toilet paper and more pots and pans as it was hard to cook big meals with what was there.

Aloha,
Mahalo for staying with us and for your thoughtful review. We’re very glad to hear the home worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the location and cleanliness.
Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the ants. In tropical environments like Hawai‘i, this can occasionally occur, and we’re glad we were able to promptly provide ant bait to help resolve the issue during your stay.
We also appreciate your suggestions regarding additional toilet paper and larger cookware. As noted in our listing, we provide a starter supply of essentials, and guests staying for longer periods or with larger groups may wish to purchase additional items as needed. That said, your feedback is very helpful, and we will certainly review the kitchen inventory to see where improvements can be made for larger groups.
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We had friends, young adults and family along and this place was great! Beautiful unit and plenty of space for all. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in this rental and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great stay!
The management team was very responsive with any concerns that we had. House has a beautiful view and is located in a great place!

The house was spacious, clean, and had everything that we needed. We had a wonderful stay, would highly recommend!4
Clean, quiet, well stocked, amazing location with all amenities nearby. Views are world class.
Within 20 minutes of great beaches. The house is ideally set up for a larger family with a full studio for older kids or another small family.
Few minutes away from the pier and shops a beautiful quiet place to relax and enjoy the ocean view.Mervlyn was quick to attend to all our requests and guided us to all the things to do .
We really enjoyed this property. From the quiet neighborhood to the amazing views. We were a large group and this house had room for everyone. Only ding ding was that the property description lists a queen bed downstairs but was actually a sofa-sleeper.
Exactly as expected if not better! The lanai was beautiful the outdoor shower was amazing! We will be back!

Family members who stayed there were completely satisfied. Multi-level facilities are clean and well-kept. Lanais are spacious and bbq are available on several levels. Convenient location near Captain Cook.
The house was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was equipped and so were the bathrooms. There was no AC however all the fans around the house were great! The lanais were pleasant and the grill was a great help for cooking food. The house was awesome and the yard provides us some apple bananas and avocados!

Reviewer Comments:
The home had ample space to spread out and was clean with comfortable beds and furniture. Plenty of towels, including beach towels, extra bedding and blankets, too. Great to have beach paraphernalia available (chairs, boogie board, mat, umbrella, snorkel, coolers). The decks were nice with furniture and BBQ worked well. It was helpful to have the outside shower, even with hot water!The location was very convenient for going on manta ray and other snorkel trips, as well as farther south to snorkel and explore. The property managers were excellent with communication. They alerted us that the dishwasher needed replacing and were actually able to install a new one on a Saturday as we were moving in. We very much enjoyed our stay. Mahalo.
Family of 10 was just right for this property, everyone had a bed including the pull-out couch. Enjoyed the sunsets everyday, lots of room on the balcony with a solar LED umbrella and BBQ. Some dirty pots on arrival and towels were pretty musty, corrected with cleaning, no big deal.Sliding balcony/patio doors need some maintenance as well as some windows but manageable. Parking was great for two vehicles, road in front is pretty steep but normal for the area. Would stay again for sure.
We had a lovely stay at the Kealakekua property on the Kona side of the Big Island. This was our first trip to Hawaii, and it was a great choice for meeting up with friends from Europe. The accommodations were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
The views from both lanais were beautiful, especially during the sunsets, which were a highlight of our evenings. The property was clean, and the property management team was helpful and quick to respond whenever we had questions.
This home made a great base for exploring the Big Island, and we left with many wonderful memories. Thank you for hosting us and helping make our first visit to Hawaii so enjoyable!

We had a great time in Hawaii and the place worked well for us. The separate apartment below was great for a couple. Some details could be improved through maintenance such as the outside painted decking was crumbling in places and the gutter on the roof overflowed over the door in heavy rain. However the bbq was great to use and overall we really enjoyed the stay

Reviewer Comments:
The downstairs unit smells moldy, with visible mold in the washer. The smell was unbearable, and alternative arrangements had to be made for those sleeping downstairs. This issue is known, as an air filter is available, although the filter in the machine was filthy. Furthermore, moisture-wicking products were in the closet. Be aware anyone with a respiratory issue will be affected!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the downstairs unit and sincerely apologize for the discomfort it caused. The presence of a strong odor and visible mold in the washer is unacceptable, and we take these concerns seriously.
We appreciate you pointing out the condition of the air filter and the moisture-wicking products—these were meant as proactive measures, but clearly, they fell short. We’ve already scheduled a deep cleaning of the unit, including the washer, and will be replacing or professionally servicing the air filter system immediately. We’re also addressing the underlying moisture issues to ensure this doesn’t recur.
Your comments are valuable in helping us improve, and we truly regret that your stay was impacted. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you’d like to continue the conversation or if there’s anything we can do to make this right.

We were very fortunate to be able to schedule a mini-family reunion with two of our sons and their families at Halekii Sunset in mid-June. The property was perfect and easily accommodated 5 adults and four children. We enjoyed the sunsets and views of the ocean as well as the nature sounds of the birds and coqui frogs. The children appreciated the yard space as well as the supply of beach toys! The kitchen had all the necessary dishes and cookware necessary to make meals, as well as a blender for pina coladas! The each of the three bathrooms included bath products and a hair dryer, a good thing since we had a teenager with us, and the littles loved the outdoor shower. The property manager was extremely communicative and quickly responded to our questions. We would definitely recommend Halekii Sunset to families looking for a quiet neighborhood for their Hawaii experience.
