"Staying here is awesome for relaxation. You really don’t have to leave the property since everything you need is right here. Just a quick 2-minute drive away, you’ll find two shopping centers. Plus, there’s a beach just 2 minutes away if you’re not into the lagoon or the pools on-site. You can go snorkeling in the lagoon and spot turtles along with all sorts of fish. And don’t forget, there are dolphins on the property that you can see both day and night. We will definitely return here in the near future."
"Great place to stay at Waikoloa. Comes with access to the pool and lagoon facilities from the main Hilton which is amazing for a slightly cheaper fare."

10/10 Excellent
"What a stay in Hawaii! Made a super great choice here! The house was clean, comfortable, equipped, large enough for our whole party of 8 and the location couldn’t have been better! Easy access to the ocean across the street (with daily turtles) and to the main road. Was nice to have room to relax and not have to worry about the confines of a condo. The available beach equipment, grill and bikes were a definite plus. Looking forward to staying here again!"
"Gorgeous setting and a nicely appointed house - had everything we needed! Communication through text/email for the check-in process was very straightforward. Our kids had a blast playing in the waterfall and sleeping in the loft. The stargazing is AMAZING if you get a clear night. This was a perfect, peaceful home base for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island!"
"The beach view is excellent. The laundry, dishwasher, stove and oven work great. Two refrigerators are very handy. Beach towels, bath towels and linens are excellent. Parking off street is great. The house has many comfortable sitting areas inside and out. Working with the host was excellent. Star gazing is excellent. Neighborhood is very quiet. There is access to several beaches in Puako and there are many turtle sightings.The home needs a deep cleaning and some plumbing leaks addressed. A working ice maker in the refrigerator would be helpful. Some general handyman work is needed to fix the sliding glass door to lanai which needs a new roller to slide well, fix a ceiling fan in the 1st bedroom and the shower head in main house bathroom which has very poor pressure, The screens on the windows and doors were in excellent shape. Bugs and cockroaches are present in Hawaii but I think a deep cleaning would help."
