10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We enjoyed our time here. The view is outstanding from everywhere. I ate more fruit during our stay, courtesy of all of the fruit trees at this property, than I have eaten in recent memory. The hot tub and pool were used daily and perfect for play and relaxation for our group. The set up was perfect. Bedrooms separated from the kitchen and living spaces were ideal as we are early risers and didn't disturb others when we were grinding coffee... Though Kona gets more attention, and we have stayed there as well, Hilo feels more representative of the Hawaiian culture and tropical feel. Matt (the caretaker) was very responsive and attentive to our needs and keeps things running smoothly. We went horseback riding nearby and also did a few things in Kona too, including a Costco run:) I highly recommend the farmer's market in Hilo as well. It was terrific. Thank you for a lovely stay.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
Overall property was great, clean; each of the four couples had essentially identical rooms with king beds and private bathrooms. Matt the property manager was highly responsive and immediately accessible for any issues. Spacious, amazing sunrise, sunset, and starlight views, we got lucky with near-perfect weather.Property is about 90 minutes from Kona airport if you fly in that side.Two downsides were the infinity pool was not on/working - the water level was either too low or it was not turned on. The waterfall was also suffering some issue so we were advised to turn it on sparingly, so we only had it on for about 1 hour on 1 day. Considering the pool was a large reason we booked this place and the images did not represent the reality, this was a disappointment. The septic tank also backed up and flooded the pool house bedroom and bathroom with several inches of water. Matt was there within minutes though to fix the issue, which was a plus. A couple other minor issues Matt again immediately came and fixed within minutes. Several of my party reported great experiences with Matt.Overall minor gripes in the grand scheme of things, but thought you should know to ask about the pool functionality before booking.

Incredible sprawling estate with beautiful views of the ocean and amazing dawn chorus from the many birds. Spacious rooms, not luxury but comfortable and house is equipped with all the essentials. Great outdoor area with large pool, hot tub and swim up bar. Housekeeper was responsive and helpful.
