We had a wonderful time overall. We stayed for a month. The property across the street is under construction, but not very distracting. We utilized the outdoor space, pool, and hot tub daily soaking up the expansive views of the coast.
Well stocked for cooking and grilling.
Indoor space is open and bright.

Truly an Amazing Big Island Property
by Emily H
This property was very clean, well equipped and came with an incredible ocean view. We truly enjoyed the pool and outdoor living spaces. Check in/out process was contactless and easy. We stayed for a whole month and a few issues came up during the stay and we always received quick responses back from the property team to assist us in resolving things. We would stay here again for sure!

Wonderful retreat
by Beth D
This house in the hillside above Kona airport is wonderful. Massive house w 3 bedroom suites, large kitchen with many amenities and extras like wine fridge, coffee grinder and many tools for cooking. The lanai and pool area is perfect for watching the sunset and the coffee trees, landscaping and wildlife add to retreat of the house at the top of the hillside street. Beds were great, plenty of towels and pool toys. Pool was more decorative than functional as non-heated so got very cool in evenings, but spa worked well for us. Only complaint is the couch in living room and lanai furniture seating is below the level of luxury of the rest of the home. Property managers were very responsive and all needs were met.

Beautiful, spacious house with a great location and view. Having a private pool and hot tub was great. The house is located on a quiet hill overlooking the ocean yet is close to all the restaurants in downtown Kona.

We enjoyed our stay at Piko Nani. The kitchen is beautiful and a joy to cook in, however it's not the most stocked of kitchens (pots/pans/etc) - though the basics were there. The bedrooms are huge, and having a bathroom for each bedroom, along with the powder room - was AWESOME. They also had snorkeling gear, etc. for us to use, and we were very grateful for that. Lots of tables to play games on inside and outside. Check in/out was very easy. The view (when you stand up outside or from inside the house) of the ocean is beautiful (note: you can't see the ocean from the pool). If you're looking to get away from the busier downtown area of Kona, then this would be a good option. You are up on a hill in a neighborhood, about 15 min drive from downtown. You're also about 15-20 from most food options. We didn't have the best rental car for the situation, it was a van and it didn't handle the hills + the rain very well. It rains up on those hills A LOT, so being there in June we weren't able to use the pool much, but the hot tub was great and heats up pretty quickly - loved that part!

Awesome Property!
by Aimee D
We had an amazing stay fir 10 days in March. It was my family of four (two teenagers) and my parents who had just turned 70. Was absolutely perfect for our family. We had a few wuestions when we arrived and the property manager responded immediately. The house is large and all of the rooms are spacious. The master bathroom is incredible. The property is gorgeous and the outdoor area with the covers lanai, pool and hot tub were spectacular. We did not have any issues with the hot tub mentioned by some previous people. It heated fast and was perfect. We’ve already recommended this property to two other friends planning trips to the Big Island.

Excellent stay
by Brandon M
Excellent stay, a bit pricey but hawaii is primed to scoop your wallet so can’t say we didn’t have it coming. Location is gorgeous and only about 20 minutes from beach. Very nice secluded property, highest on the street and possibly the nicest house on the block. Breathtaking views especially during sunset.
Great house!!

A Slice of Heaven!
by Stayed 6 Days in September 2018 past guest
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home with a magnificent pool and perfect view of the ocean and extraordinary sunsets. We loved the spacious rooms, each with its own bathroom. The kitchen was well-equipped and the layout indoors and outdoors flowed well. The covered lanai was great for enjoying the tropical setting even if a rain shower blew over. The lush garden was a delight to walk through and perfectly set off the idyllic ocean view and enticing pool and spa. I hope to make this a regular vacation destination!

An Exquisite Home - Perfect for Three couples
by Stayed 7 Days in February 2017 past guest
We settled upon two properties which we thought would best suit our party. The first of these was Piko Nani, which we rented. The home was even better than the descriptions and pictures we had seen, It is an elegant home in every sense of the word, accommodations, location, seclusion. The only draw to the property was that the spa/pool were not in operation due to a plumbing failure. The management company alerted us to this situation, and offered us several means of restitution all of which were generous. I would stay at Piko Nani again without hesitation and found the management company to be profession and responsive in every situation.

Beautiful house, beautiful location

We had a wonderful experience at Piko Nani. The rental had everything we wanted and more. The house was stocked with all the essentials. The pool and sauna was awesome. We wish the sauna temperature a bit higher but we had fun nonetheless.

A dream come true
by Stayed 3 Days in October 2015 past guest
One of the BEST properly I've stayed at. Love watching the sunrise and set on everyday. Huge yard for the kids to drain their energy and lots of fruits to enjoy. The master bedroom was amazing. Walk in shower and tub to relax at the end of the day. Couldn't ask for more. Everything you need for a getaway. Would definitely come back.
Beautiful view
by Stayed 7 Days in June 2015 past guest
The house and view were lovely. Everthing was clean and comfortable. However, the spa never produced bubbles or proper jets. The linens were a little worn and nubbly. But, overall, it was a wonderful time and we would be happy to stay there again.

WOW!!!
by Stayed 6 Days in February 2014 past guest
I rented this home for 4 adults and the property worked out very well for us. The house is very spacious and comfortable for families. This home has wonderful trees and flowers all around the property. Every morning the birds and goat come out and it's a great place to take pictures. Every morning we sat beside the swimming pool and ate breakfast overlooking the beautiful grounds.

Relaxing 10 days with family and friends.

Great home in a secluded setting overlooking the coast. Should be gated since outsiders would walk and drive and park in the area.
