This was outstanding, everything is upscale decoration, beds were extremely comfortable, bedding, towel, and large supply of beach towel. They did not spare expenses TVs, appliances, all the silverware, cooking supplies, even toilet paper was plentiful and of high quality, which is we’re many place provide substandard products. our full size SUV fit in the garage barely, which is important because the driveway is too short to park in. It was walking distance to the pool and work out location. We had access to private beach for the resort, which we went to swim, snorkel and play in the sun. The unit came with snorkel, bikes and beach equipment, including chairs, coolers, and umbrellas. The facility was clean and very quiet. We did not want to leave. If your departure flight is a red eye, do yourself a favor and just book the extra night. Check out for us was 10 am and out flight was not until 10 pm. The location provide an excellent app with tons of excellent information, activities, and resources including a video of driving to the location.

Wonderful week on the Big Island in a beautiful home and neighborhood. The house was outstanding and just as listed. A huge plus were the amenities in the garage….bikes and helmets, boogie boards, snorkels and fins, beach ball, sand toys, beach chairs, many towels, and to top it off a collapsible wagon to carry everything. Super thoughtful of the hosts…and thus a great house to stay in with family/kids. We’ll return!

Loved this villa. It was perfect for 6 adults and 2 teenagers. The living room only has one couch but the teenagers did fine sleeping on the couch. Beds were comfortable! Location was great. You do have to drive to the beach. Beach club pass was nice to have.Pool was great. Communication with property managers was good.No extreme cleaning requirements on departure which was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Our stay was ok. In a condo community. Pool ok, not deep enough for a good swim. Lap pool small.
Dishwasher needs a good cleaning, smelly.

This is a nice property and a good location. You can definitely tell this unit gets a lot of use as it is in need of some maintenance. The living room furniture was worn, dishwasher was dated, many of the bikes didn’t work well including one that got a flat tire 3 miles from the unit, the refrigerator condenser leaks water which got our food wet inside the refrigerator and the fan in the unit does not turn off. A whole house deep cleaning is in order. For the price we paid, I’m not convinced this property is a great value.

Harmony Villa provided a great home base for our big island trip this Oct. Its location is perfect for easy access onto main high way 19, and only a leasure drive from airport, Kona, and north end of the island. Mauna Lani commumity is well designed with lush landscape and private beach. WE spend two days there, truly relaxing. House itself is well maintained and have everything we need. Love it. Already thinking about going back for next trip.

We really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent again. We had our whole family with 2 Grandchildren with us and the home accommodated us very well.

The house is very nicely laid out to accommodate a family with large bedrooms, two of which are masters, and a nice backyard to play in. Very close to the pool/gym. They ask that you wear a mask in the pool area so long as you aren't in the water or eating/drinking, which is what it is. The beach club is the best part by far. Would stay there again.
Only drawbacks to the property were some appliance issues: refrigerator had a leak in the cooling unit and the dishwasher routinely failed to release the soap pod leaving a mess in dishwasher. Easy fixes IMO!

Great location in a private home with easy access to beaches, stores, and beautiful walks! The snorkeling gear, bikes, and beach stuff provided in the garage kept us busy for the entire week. Would definitely rent this place again!

Villa was all that it was advertised. Driveway was only 6 feet long so had to park both cars in garage. But we made it work. Master bath lighting can use some higher LED lighting. (Us that are above 55 need all the help we can get). Pool and gym were excellent and just steps from unit. Villa overall worked out cause my son, daughter in law and grandson only stayed 3 days than onto Maui. Wish there was a view, but you get what you pay for and than again we were only there to sleep and eat. The rest of the time out exploring paradise.

This was a perfect place to stay. Near to everything - pool, beaches close by, and north and south a short ways. Nearby restaurants abound and have interesting and delicious food. Even the trip to volcano national part is easily doable. All kinds of beach equipment is available for snorkeling, boogie boarding, bicycling, great towels, beach beach chairs and umbrellas.
A perfect place to stay.

We had a great stay here. The kitchen was more than fully equipped! We enjoyed the beach toys. My only problem is we didn’t stay long enough!

The house is clean, well maintained, and had a great layout. The pool area is beautiful and not crowded at all. The nearby beaches were awesome. There is also a supermarket, restaurants and stores that are very close. I would highly recommend staying here, especially for families.

We stayed at the property for 10 days in February. The property is quite nice, however I did not like the close proximity to the neighbors, and the entrance to the front door is between two other property garages. I had a couple of issues with the property and called the Manger who was not very helpful. He acted put out, and in a hurry each time I called him. There was a problem with the Ceiling Fan in the Master Bedroom. The manager & his repairman came the next day which was good response time, but they left without checking to see that the fan actually did not work. The room was warm, and the AC could only be lowered to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. I called & left messages, and text messages asking for the fan to be fixed. They never came back. I requested a portable fan, but they never showed up. Instead he sent me a rude email stating that I had demanded a fan, and that he would provide one. Nothing ever showed up. I will say that the property is very nice, lots of toys in the Garage, 4 bikes, boogie boards etc. All in all it is a great property, but I would not come back as there are so many other options available. I just don't want to work with a manager who is managing 25 different properties, and treats me rudely.

Even with awful weather record winds we loved our stay. The TV in every bedroom was a godsend with the different tastes in entertainment on the hurricane wind day. Love the Beach club snorkeling and the adult only lappool separate from the kiddie pool. Only cavet my kids liked sleeping outside better than sharing the full bed or the fold out couch Maholo for a great get away and family celebration. Best place we have stayed in on 5 trips to big island would come back in a second. Also rent golf cart makes life fun and easy parking on resort.

Harmony villa in KaMilo was the perfect spot to base our big island vacation. Suzanne and Jeff stocked the house with thoughtful kid and baby items and plenty of toys for the beach for both kids and adults. The area is perfectly located to enjoy the best beaches. The common area pool was used daily by the kids. All in all a perfect stay. The house was lovely and best of all, the beds were comfy!!

We enjoyed our stay with two kids, ages two and six, as well as friends. It is clear the owners have put thought into traveling with children. We did not have to rent bed rails, high chairs, or beach toys as we have at other destinations. Also our two year old came down with bronchitis and having local contact information for a doctor saved us from an urgent care visit. The beach access was perfectly calm for little kids as was the good sized baby pool area. We were happy to see fully stocked supplies, including spices and other kitchen items that made cooking family meals a breeze. The only downside was we ran out of propane for the grill and there was no extra stocked. Overall we would highly recommend for any family!

The location of Harmony Villa is ideal for taking in beaches, restaurants, shopping, and other activities/sites on the west side of the island. Some of the best beaches on the island are just minutes away! And with the improved east-west Highway 200 that runs down the middle of the island, we were also able to "day-trip" over to the activities on the east side of the island (Volcano National Park, etc.). This house is in a quiet, safe, and secure neighborhood and there's a good grocery store just blocks away in the same development.
On a more personal note: My husband and teen daughter were joined by my two grown sons and their wives and this house was well-suited for our family reunion and holiday celebration. The house has an excellent kitchen/dining area (my sons are both gourmet cooks and took full advantage of the high-end appliances and utensils, including the patio barbecue), the beds (and outside hammock!) are extremely comfortable, the washer and dryer are a real plus.....I could go on and on about the great features of the house, but the best characteristic is that we felt so comfortable there - like we were in our very own home-away-from-home!
The owners of the house are very obliging and have thought of everything - they even provided us with some holiday decorations! We would rent this property tomorrow if we were able to take another vacation that soon (!) and highly recommend this house to groups of 5 to 9 people who are looking for fully furnished luxury home to live in while they enjoy paradise! Thank you again to the vacation home owners for their friendly, thoughtful, and thorough service!

This was my second trip to the Big Island and the first time renting a home. On a previous trip I had stayed in the Mauna Lani resort area and loved the location and amenities. Joining me on this trip were my grown sons and their girlfriends, and my mom and her significant other. I wanted a home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths so that we would all have our own space. I feel very fortunate to have found Harmony Villa. The pictures are beautiful, but do not do the home justice.
Here are my favorite points about this home:
1. Lots of space
2. Beds are very, very comfortable. It made adjusting to the time difference that much easier. There are 2 king size beds and a queen size bed, which was perfect for my group.
3. From the appliances to the bedding, everything is high end and well taken care of.
4. Great patio and outdoor grill. We grilled out several times and had some awesome meals right at home. The owners even have a backup propane tank, just in case you need it.
5. The kitchen is well equipped and perfectly organized. It has EVERYTHING need - no matter what you are cooking.
6. Separate wine/beverage cooler came in super handy and freed up space in the refrigerator.
7. Everything you need for outings (beach, biking, sunset watching, etc.) is available in the well organized garage.
8. Washer and dryer - it was so nice to keep up on laundry, dry beach towels, etc.
9. Mauna Lani beach club pass - do not underestimate the value of having access to a private beach only a short drive away. Lounge chairs are available and there is a restaurant overlooking the ocean if you are hungry.
10. 2 swimming pools and hot tubs are a short walk from the house and there is also a workout facility, which I enjoyed taking advantage of.
11. Quiet and peaceful - after long days of hiking, swimming and sightseeing, it was nice to come home to a quiet and peaceful environment.
My goal for this family vacation was to create some wonderful memories and we sure did.
Everyone in my party absolutely loved Harmony Villa and the location. The owners were so accommodating, helpful, and kind. I highly recommend this property and plan to stay there again on my next trip.

We had one of our best trips to the Big Island this summer. It was our family and my best friend and her family. 9 of us total and we had plenty of room to spare. As a previous home owner in Mauni Lani and used to having all the conveniences of a luxurious second home I was so happy that this home was all that and more! So well appointed and very thoughtfully stocked with all the necessities like what families need to cook a meal or make a smoothie!! I felt like we were at home. And It was just perfect for our two families. We loved the set up of the bedrooms and the kitchen and family room was large and open and accommodated all of us and our friends that came by to visit. The outside patio was so relaxing to read and enjoy the tropical breezes! I absolutely loved the tub and shower in the master we stayed in!! It was such a treat to soak in the tub at the end of day! I felt like we were at a 5 star resort! It was a nice extra added bonus to have all the bikes and beach toys and the snorkel gear came in handy for our beach club days! This home will be our destination again this summer!! Jeff and Suzette were wonderful and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!! Aloha!!

We just got home from our wonderful stay at Harmony Villa and we couldn't be more relaxed! Our family of 6 (3 kids, Mom, Dad & Grandma) thoroughly enjoyed our week-long vacation at this beautiful new home. The owners were especially kind and attentive and thought of everything to make us feel like we were at home. We cooked dinner almost every night in the well-appointed kitchen. The master bathroom is luxurious and Mom enjoyed several long baths in the oversized tub. The beach towels were huge and everything we needed for the beach was easily found in the garage: beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. Our kids all loved the community pool and the proximity to beautiful beaches like Hapuna and the Mauna Lani Beach. Mahalo for an unforgettable stay on the Big Island!!

We visit the Big Island every year and have stayed at a variety of condos and hotels. Harmony Villa was lovely and met all of our needs. The master suites were very nice and the kitchen had everything that we needed to cook for ourselves. The pool complex was a short walk from the Villa and was a wonderful place to start or end the day. The owners have thought about everything one might need for a visit to the beach or a ride around the area. Jeff and Suzanne were very responsive to my questions and requests and I will definitely have their Villa in mind when we visit again!

Nice property in quiet, gated area. It suited our needs well but we had problems that could have been handled more appropriately. After doing as asked for checkout I was contacted regarding a missing cushion and a torn mattress gel topper. Explained our side of the situation to owner who was absolutely convinced that we had stolen a cushion which honestly makes no sense; really we are going to steal the cushion for a love seat?? Also accused of ripping the mattress gel topper which according to everyone in the party, WHEN ASKED SEPARATELY, agreed the tear was already there when we arrived.
Exchanged one text message with owner who then never replied again; just disappointed.
We own a rental property and I understand these things happen; I also know that lack of communication doesn't solve the problem.
Guessing the owner has others who help manage the property and "the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing" which resulted in things not being handled as efficiently as they could have been. We won't be back obviously; if you do end up renting this unit I would advise taking LOTS of pictures when you arrive as this could have helped us avoid this incident.
In all the times I've rented this is the ONLY time I have had an issue. And there are lots of other great options on the Big Island. Aloha!!

Every year my husband and I visit the Big Island. We love it there! My expectations are high when renting a vacation home. This home and its owners did not disappoint. The home was everything they said it would be in their descriptions. I felt at home as soon as I walked in. The beds were so comfortable, the linens high quality. Bathrooms gorgeous! They have thought of everything you would need on your vacation. I enjoy cooking, and the kitchen was well appointed. To top it all off the owners Jeff and Suzanne are a dream to work with. So responsive and thoughtful. They called to welcome us shortly after we landed from our flight and let us know that had turned on the air so we would walk in to a comfortable temperature. AMAZINGLY THOUGHTFUL!! So many vacation homes we've rented look run down and not looked after. This home is immaculate and you can see the care and attention to every detail. I highly recommend. Believe me you won't regret it.

Our stay on the Big Island was heavenly thanks to this beautiful home. The villa was immaculate and every bedroom was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed all the amenities and convenience the villa provided. There were so many great things about this villa, but here are a few things we appreciated:
1) Jeff and Suzanne's quick response. Whenever I had a question before our arrival, the homeowners responded quickly through email or phone calls. They were easily accessible, friendly and very helpful. We felt very well taken care of while we were there.
2) All the family friendly equipment included with the villa rental. We had two 2 year olds and two infants in our party and this villa was well stocked with kids gear and beach toys. They provided portable cribs, high chairs, baby monitors, and bed rails which made traveling with little ones so much easier. The villa was also well stocked for the beach-- snorkel gear, beach towels, chairs, sand toys, umbrellas, coolers, etc. which made spending the day at the beach convenient and comfortable.
We would love to stay here again next time we visit the Big island. Thanks Jeff and Suzanne!

This house was perfect for our stay. With two couples and their kids and "grandma", we were all very comfortable and had some privacy. The bedrooms are laid out so we each had our space and could put the youngsters to bed and not have to worry about waking them up. We actually used the large walk-in closet as a bedroom for the 4 year old.
We cooked most of our meals there and found the kitchen to be well outfitted for all we prepared. The large barbeque was an added benefit we used almost everyday.
We all appreciated the fact that we didn't have to rent the water toys and gear and the selection of toys was just what we needed for the 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
Jeff and Suzanne are great. Very responsive to our questions even with the time difference. There was a tsunami watch during our stay and they actually stayed in touch to make sure we were aware of the warnings and what to expect.
I would definately stay here again if I get the chance.

We enjoyed our week at Harmony Villa. We were a family of 6 - all adults. We enjoyed the location, the private beach and the ability to choose from 2 pools. We cooked many meals (including a mahi mahi we caught off the Kona coast) on the lanai BBQ or in the amazing kitchen. We've never seen such a well stocked kitchen before and appreciate the special touches. The beds were comfortable (a must when on vacation) and attention to detail (like providing Apple TV, etc) was appreciated. The guys definitely liked the very large TV in the living room. I'd highly recommend this to anyone thinking of staying in Mauna Lani. (Also appreciate how professional the owners were to deal with. That's a real plus!)
