Brought 3 adult kids and a grand baby for 16 days. The house was a great fit for us. It is spacious and well equipped in kitchen, chairs for going to beach. Pool was great and the deck facing north was perfect for us as it did not get too much sunsun.

Perfect home for our family vacation in lovely Mauna Lani! This was our second stay here. Highly recommend. Home was clean and modern with all the amenities we needed for a fun time on the Big Island! Thank you!

This unit in KaMilo is well located close to the central pool. Communication with the property management company was excellent. They were very professional and always available. The house has so much potential, but you can tell that the owners will not put any money into the house. The furniture, mattresses, TV’s, linens, towels, water toys, chairs, hot tub coating, (you name it) etc…. are all way past their useful lives. In short, I’d say excellent potential, but we would never rent this unit again due to the conditions on the interior.

Beautiful place… the photos are very accurate and we absolutely loved our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and the way the home is set up, you feel like you have the whole place to yourself. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of room for our two families. It was well appointed, clean and a wonderful location. I wish we had spent a little more time at the pool area in KaMilo. It was relaxing and very pretty and we didn’t get to it until the end of our trip. The Mauni Lani beach club was beautiful and there was great snorkeling. The Hilton was fine, but not really our scene, but I think with little kids, it would’ve been something we had gone to much more. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would definitely book again!!

House was very well maintained. The check-in/check-out process was easy. The host even sent a document in advanced with local Big Island highlights. There was a pack and play and high chair for my infant which were in good working order. Beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels and beach items with the house. All the pool/beach passes included with the home were wonderful and kept my children entertained while I was at a nearby conference. I would definitely book again!!

We had a great stay at the Blue Lagoon Property. We had 2 families with kids under 5 and the grandparents. We loved the house layout with a casita for the grandparents, two rooms for the adults in the familes, a separate room for kids, and the closets were large enough to have pack-n-plays for infant sleeping. The kitchen was open to the dining room, the living room and there was a side cozy room for TV viewing (football in my family) so they didn't disrupt the rest of the family. The pool, porch with chairs and table were right outside the kitchen/living room so we could watch children from inside. The amenities were great. We took chairs to the beach and loved going to the community pool with little kids.

We stay in Mauna Lani every year for Thanksgiving and the location is incredible. There's plenty to do nearby, wonderful restaurants and beaches. This property itself needs a bit of a refresh. The main living room couch is stained and missing nearly all of its buttons, the outdoor furniture is all stained (we put towels down to sit on them) and the carpets are all stained. They also show photos of a golf cart in the garage and that is not included. The rate is a little on the medium/higher side so we were hoping for it to feel a little nicer. The property manager was easy to communicate with and the check in/out was super easy.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The house is spacious, open, and attractively decorated, with additional space for sitting outside. Somehow it felt very private even with a lot of other properties around it. And the proximity to the pool was accurately described -- very close. We did a couple of bike rides, including one to snorkel at 49 black sands beach. Loved our stay.

My family had such a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house. The location is convenient and the activities available through the rental property are fantastic. My children, 5 and 8 years old, took full advantage of the house pool and hot tub, as well as the community pool which was just a 5 minute walk away. We enjoyed the access to the private beach, Mauna Lani beach club and also made use of the complimentary Hilton Waikoloa resort. The house itself was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

We had a great time in this house. Everything we needed for our group of mixed ages, including baby. We loved the pool and hot tub, and walked to the nice nearby gym and pool complex a few times. Layout was great, the separate ADU was nice to have as well for part of the group. Beaches nearby are fun to visit. We’d love to come back !!

This property was even better than the listing. Convenient location for our activities of choice (scuba diving and snorkelling) and lots of space for each family group to relax but also socialize and eat together. Wouldn't change a thing. Amazing rental.

We were in Hawaii to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our adult children. This unit was perfect for us. It was spacious and completely equipped. We especially appreciated things like the snorkel equipment and bikes. The unit is fairly close to the pool, and the amenities at the resort were awesome. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to the Big Island.

The house was absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of space in the house, and we really enjoyed the covered lanai and bbq. The pool was awesome and the grandkids couldn’t get enough of it. The Hilton pool pass was a great addition and we used it several days. The Mauna Lani beach club pass made it very easy to access the beach and we really enjoyed it. The hosts were very responsive to all of our questions. We would definitely stay there again. Steve and Brenda

It was the perfect location for our stay. The house offers more than enough space and was perfectly clean. The agency answered all our requests extremely quick and could help us with all issues (before as well as during our stay). It is only a short drive to Kona and there is a small footpath that connects the gated area with Ali'i drive. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommand the house if you are travelling with a bigger group. One and only potential: The kitchen area could offer a little bit more equipment such as cutlery, cups.

We had great time in big island staying in this house. It is spacious for our family which consists of 8 including children and elders. It has all the things you need and the owner is very thoughtful to have bikes and all things you need for a beach day. The amenities are fantastic which includes a private beach, pools and gym. Although it is a bit far from the center of Kona but the grocery store outside of the community is convenient to get most of the things you need. Highly recommended for large family!

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was perfect for our group of 2 families and the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. We spent a lot of time in the community pool area as well. Highly recommend this place for a family trip.

A number of items needed attention from the property staff during our stay. I would say the property itself was a great location but attention needs to be given to upgrading the kitchen applicances, bathrooms etc. We were a group of ten who were there for 10 days and there was insufficient dish towels, toilet paper etc

November 2024

Good location for our planned activities. Landscaped back yard provided privacy in the pool area. Perfect for our vacation.

This place was the cherry on top for mine and my wife’s wedding. From the moment we walked into this gorgeous house we felt home. The accommodations were second to none and the house had literally everything we needed from towels and blankets to bikes and kitchen ware. Communication with the property management was so quick. We had a tiny issue with the door lock and within minutes they reached out to us and got it fixed. With so much to say I just want to say this house was perfect!! Thank you so much!!!

This is our third time staying in a 4bedroom in Kamilo, and Roma was by far the best. Very clean and well kept - aside from food and consumables we had everything else we needed in the house. All the appliances worked well, plenty of dishes and plates - we had friends staying across the street and were able to host 8 adults and 2 kids under 6 with room to spare. The house is QUIET as well. Didn't hear any of our roommates. Property managers were available via text or phone and prompt. Beach club access is great for snorkeling and relaxing with the bar/restaraunt right there. Plenty of quality beach gear - chairs, umbrellas, floats, boogie boards, snorkels and fins. We had a blast! Note - if you're like to sit on the lanai and watch (heckle) the golfers, there are a few new trees in between you and the 11th green of Mauna Lani North that mostly block the view :(

Great location in a very nicely kept up neighborhood. We loved the view of the ocean from the backyard. House, yard and pool were very well maintained and appreciated the energy efficiency usage. Would stay there again if we re-visit Kona again. Mahalo

We had a group of 8 stay at the house from ages 3-80 years old and we had a great time. The house is exactly as listed and very comfortable. The location to the private beach club (with key card) is an easy drive. The pool was a hit for everyone. Lap swimmers and the BIG lagoon pool for the rest of us. The kiddie pool attached is so big and such a great design my 3 year old loved it so much. The biggest asset of the house is the property manager, Burt. Incredible communication pre booking and while there. Super helpful and accommodating. Helped with a few extra things pre trip like information on shipping a crate of toddler gear etc. Wonderful experience. We will be back!
