My family and I absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house on the water, in a quiet neighborhood away from the resorts, during spring break. There were lots of people on the island during this time, which made getting back to the house after full days of adventure feel like a welcome respite. It was our kind of paradise!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time during your stay at our beautiful house on the water. It brings us so much joy to know that you found our quiet neighborhood to be the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the busy resorts. We completely understand how important it is to have a peaceful retreat to return to after a long day of adventure. We couldn't be happier that our home provided that for you all. We hope to have the opportunity to host you and your lovely family again soon, so you can experience "your kind of paradise" all over again!

Perfect in every way!
by Paul Michael JWe decided to celebrated my wife's birthday with our three adult kids and significant others on the Big Island. Our daughter lives in Japan so COVID has kept our family apart for most of the past 2 years, making this trip an important reunion as well as birthday celebration. This house was the perfect place to celebrate! The house is absolutely immaculate. Every feature and fixture is first class. The host has discretely labeled all the cabinets and drawers so you know where everything is and where it belongs when you are done with it. A small touch that reflects the care and thoughtfulness that went into every feature of the house. We originally intended to eat out a lot, because innumerable restaurants are within a 10 minute drive. Instead, we fell in love with the big square table on the lanai. We took turns cooking and spent almost every evening gathered around that table, enjoying each other's company and the amazing views. We planned on visiting the local beaches on most days (two beautiful ones are within a 5 minute drive) but by far the best snorkeling we did was on the reef just offshore of the house. There is a reason dive boats and snorkel boats congregate offshore. We also feel in love with the resident sea turtles, who inevitably joined us on every swim. The only cautionary note is to make sure you enter the water about 10 yards down the beach on the right from the house. That allows you to miss some rocks and sea urchins (we learned that after our first swim). We can't imagine a better placer to stay and we can't wait to return to the Big Island and this absolutely perfect home.
Best location, relaxing and beautiful views
by Allison MHome is magnificent! All accommodations were amazing! Hosts were so thoughtful and helpful. Perfect location to get to everything!
Simply one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed out
by Alastair MSimply one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed out. Expensive but totally worth it. Beautiful location, incredible house, clean and with every possible bit of kit you’d need and fantastic service from elite for food shopping, massages etc. Having a reef with turtles off the back porch takes some beating ….
Sea Turtles Galore
by Rosanna GMy family really enjoyed our time here. Now we are spoiled and can never stay anywhere but a house on the beach. My kids loved running down to the beach every morning to see the sea turtles which made their appearance every single day of our trip. The house itself was as described and had everything we needed to enjoy our trip. Only wished it had a pool and larger tvs but this would not deter us from returning.
Fabulous home
by Whitney BIncredibly well-appointed home, has everything you need. Sparkling clean, great layout, gorgeous setting. Amazing snorkeling directly off the beach. but only for the experienced as you need to understand tides and how to navigate urchins!
This is a wonderful house and we would rent it again
by David GThis is a wonderful house and we would rent it again. The location is amazing. Front row beach and you can fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Lots of sea turtles on the shoreline. Quiet house with close access to resorts as needed. The house itself is well furnished, with a large kitchen. All bedrooms are comfortable including the guest suite above the garage. Elite Pacific is helpful with anything you need. We had an amazing time.
Beautiful location and unique layout
by Cathy KI have stayed here before and was so happy to have dates that could sync up again with my travels. This is a lovely home that wraps around a stunning old growth tree, with a verdant lush backyard, but that is also just steps from the ocean. The best of both worlds.
Very nice house, well furnished and comfortable.
by Dirk MVery nice house, well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with all the equipment to make meals and there is plenty of beach gear too. The beds were comfortable and you can lounge in the back yard, on the decks, or beach. There are lots of turtles in this bay and wading the rocky tide pools are fun to see the marine life. The rocks are large and the surf strong enough to make swimming difficult for even adults. But there are swimming beaches nearby. We spent a week and it’s a great base to enjoy the island for boating, farm tours, jungle tours, luau, and volcanoes. The best shopping, restaurants, and resorts are nearby too. It’s on the drier side of the island so the days were always sunny with a light breeze.
Wonderful Place!!
by Paul SWe booked this property for a family vacation and if I could give this property a 6, I would. Location was great...on a quiet neighborhood street near several nice beaches that our family really loved. Took about 35 minutes from the Kona airport up the main highway. Thus we did some driving back and forth as several of our excursions were in Kona but we didn't mind the drive. We had high expectations going in but the house exceeded those. The beds were super comfy and all the bedrooms were large. The family suite was great for one of our children who brought their baby allowing them to have some extra privacy. We used the Sonos sound system and the TV was top notch. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed (coffee maker, toaster, microwave). We really appreciated that the kitchen was already stocked with spices and paper products including coffee filters so that we didn't have to worry about those. There was also plenty of soaps and toilet paper so we didn't have to worry about that either. And the view to the ocean was amazing. Most mornings we sat on the porch to eat breakfast and watch the goings-on in the bay. We snorkeled right off the beach (would recommend wearing water shoes and watching out for sea urchins) and saw multiple sea turtles. There was plenty of high quality beach towels and beach equipment including chairs, umbrellas and fins provided which was super helpful. It was a great home for our vacation. And the property staff was very attentive and kept in good communication with us before and during our stay. We would definitely rent again and I highly recommend it.
Above and Beyond
by Alan EThis amazing home and property is just what the photos look like. Fantastic location and home with everything needed. Kristen, the property manager, was so easy to communicate with and quickly addressed an issue with the broken refrigerator/freezer. She went above and beyond to make our stay worry-free. Mahalo for a much-needed getaway in such a gorgeous home.
Outstanding
by AnonymousBeautiful house, we’ll appointed and comfortable with a superb location. Snorkeling in front of the house. Celebrated a 50th birthday in perfect fashion.
