We loved the property, location was great, view was great. It was really nice to have a house and pool all to our selves. The way the bedrooms are set up, is great, they are spaced out so you don't run into each other.
The few thing's that bothered me, were the hot tub didn't work, I called management and no one called back, there were two light fixtures just barely hanging on, and it wasn't very clean. These were all things we worked around as we were really busy doing stuff.
Other than thise few things, we had a great time.

The house had everything we needed for hosting 9 people for 13 days. Easy to check in and easy check out. Garage was loaded with equipment and the Mauni Lani Beach Club was perfect for the kids.

We loved this location as we stayed in this same area before. We enjoyed the beach equipment and toys. That was a really great touch.
The pictures are old and need updating in regards to the view from the lanai as the greenery and houses have blocked the view, and some furniture has changed.
Also, some of the furniture was falling apart and there were large stains on the carpet. When this was brought to their attention we received no response back.
The place will be all five stars with just a bit of upkeep.

We loved our stay here to celebrate our daughter’s 19th Birthday. House was wonderful - VERY clean and just as described with best stocked kitchen we have had. The back yard/lanai was the best part - already missing our morning coffees and breakfasts out on the lanai. Perfectly located - close enough to Kona but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful quiet. We will definitely be back!

This property was the perfect place for our reunion. It accommodated the 9 of us comfortably. It was fully equipped with all the things we could ever need for a perfect vacation. The pool was an added bonus. The layout was perfect for hanging out, listening to music, talking and enjoying meals. Most importantly the property was wheelchair accessible for my young niece.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. Exactly as described and could not be happier. Great experience and would recommend to all.We brought our family of 10 (my spouse and 3 kids ages 5-10, brother his spouse and 2 kids ages 5-10, and my mother) and there was enough space for all of us. The pool was a close walk and a beach was within a 5 minute drive. The gym facilities were excellent according to my sister in law and right next to the pool. There is a local grocery store 2 minutes from the location which was convenient. Activities were all at least a 30 minute drive away but the scenery makes it all worthwhile. Check in and check out were all smooth and the property manager was responsive to inquiries. I highly recommend this location.

The vacation stay at KaMilo on the Big Island was everything I dreamed a retirement getaway would look and feel like. The home is beautiful, spacious and has all the amenities one could possibly need - it was our second stay there! Mike was the host extraordinaire, checking in with us regularly and recommending unique and memorable experiences for our party of 8. There is a private beach club that comes with the experience - this year, Mike led us on walks through lava caves and a a free "fish pedicure" along the walk. The Big Island offers so many different terrains and areas to explore - and it's not overly crowded or touristy! We had a great breakfast at the Coffee Shack and a delicious dinner at Merriman's. All around, wonderful and memorable stay - I would add more stars if I could. Thank you, Mike!

I highly recommend this property and community. I stayed with a group of 9 friends and family and the description online is exactly as described. You do need to drive about 30 minutes to go south to Kona, the main town, but it was a perfect location to drive east to Hilo and explore the whole island. The amenities in the community were fabulous- from the private beach where we could lounge and snorkel, to a park and walking paths. We will definitely stay again!

The house was everything we could have hoped for. The perfect size for a big family gathering. When we ran out of paper towels and trash bags we alerted the vacation rental team and they responded quickly and brought it to us the same day. You can’t go wrong staying at this location. Everything about it was first class. Thank you Burt and team for making our stay amazing.

This condo was perfect for our family trip (6 adults, 3 kids). It was in an excellent location with access to a nice pool, and a fantastic beach club within a 5 min drive. It is also in proximity to lots of great shopping and resorts. The garage is FULLY LOADED with all the equipment you need for beach days and snorkeling. Tons of space and stocked with everything needed to cook, bbq, and enjoy family meals together.

Amazing house in the beautiful Mauna Lani Resort area. We spent a week with 7 adults and 3 small children. Very short drive to an awesome beach club with kid and adult friendly beach the pools were a 5 min walk from the house. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Would strongly recommend this house for anyone!
Additionally, the owners were incredibly responsive - I was able to ask questions via text leading up to and during our stay and received a response within minutes. They were very friendly and accommodating.

We have been to the Big Island many times. We have stayed at the Mauna Lani each time. This property was by far the best! They have every beach toy/amenity/ gadget you need. The house is spacious and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for awesome family meals. We took nine people with us and everyone had plenty of room. Can’t recommend this place high enough. 10 stars!

Perfect place for a family vacation. House was amazing, lots of space pool area was nicely kept and the golf cart was such a great perk as my brother was staying in same complex at other end made for easy access. Having all the beach supplies and toys really helped enhance our trip. Would definitely rent this house again. Thanks for the memories.

We thought our time at our VRBO on the big island was exceptional for our extended family of 9. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds, the generous kitchen space with plenty of dishes and utensils, exceptional eating areas, and comfortable seating. Our favorite spot was the lanai where we gathered every morning for coffee and in the evenings for conversations about our busy days. The gated community was very beautifully landscaped and quiet. We settled into a routine of beach time in the mornings and pool time in the afternoons. We were so excited about being in Hawaii that our first full day we arrived at 8 am at the Beach Club, and were able to grab perfect beach loungers. Everyone appreciated the water toys in the garage: snorkels, life vests, beach chairs, umbrellas, pails and shovels, and the bikes too. There were excellent conveniences nearby, including restaurants, a grocery store, T-shirt stores, and a shaved ice spot that was our newest favorite treat! We also spent a lot of family time walking/hiking in the area discovering beaches, spots for viewing the sunsets, historic fishing ponds, petroglyphs, and discovering new plants, birds, and animals. This was the perfect "base" for a wonderful family vacation on the big island of Hawaii.

If you and your family are searching for a place to vacation together, then look no further! Ka Milo 349 will be your perfect home away from home. As soon as I booked the property, Elite Pacific Vacations (Gather) reached out with email communications, answering all my questions and arranging any special services requested. As we got closer to arrival I received text communication with perfect driving and entry directions. Upon arrival we were blown away! The property was so beautiful. The pictures are accurate, however, they don’t do the property justice, it is much better in real life. The house is located in the back of the complex which we loved. It was so serene and quiet. No one around but the full time residents next door who were very warm and welcoming. This property gives you the comfort of being home and it is SPOTLESS. Everything is labeled so you know exactly where to find things. Anything and everything you need is here. The property has plenty of room to feel like you have your own space and yet also come together to grill and enjoy family meals. There is something for everyone in your party: places to go for walk/runs, playing in the property’s private pool, golf, all the beach toys and supplies for your days at the beach/exploring, plenty of restaurants, and a grocery store. Each perfect day was ended by taking a little cruise on the property’s private golf cart to a beautiful, rugged, nearby beach to watch the sunset. Mahalo for everything we will be back!

My family (8 adults and a 2 year old) recently stayed at this property for 10 days. I can’t say enough positive things about the property and it led to the perfect Hawaii vacation for my family!
The home was beautifully kept and had plenty of space for all of us including some evenings when my sisters family (2 adults, 2 kids) joined us for dinner. We were familiar with the Mauna Lani property prior to our stay and have no complaints regarding location and proximity to things.
The pool was close by and the private beach club was perfect for my 2 year old to play on the beach and in the water. The beach is in a nice protected bay and is also a great spot for snorkeling. Another great perk for this property was all of the beach gear in the garage. There was plenty of snorkel gear for all of us. I really appreciated all of the amenities for my toddler including a pack n play, high chair, life jacket, and beach toys. We didn’t need to rent anything extra for her while on our trip.
Burt was very responsive to questions prior to our trip. We didn’t need anything during our stay but Burt was in contact several times to check in and ensure that he was available if need be.
We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
Thank you Burt and your team for helping us have such an amazing vacation.

Beautifully decorated, fully equipped kitchen , comfortable beds.
Neighborhood is quiet with gorgeous landscaping.
All beach gear provided but rent your own masks.
The beach club is great but far from the house so rent a car.
If you want to walk to a beach, go through the Fairmont Orchid.
We so appreciate the hosts for sharing their gorgeous home.

We flew to Hawaii for 6 nights with a group of six. Three adults and three kids all under 7. This house had absolutely EVERYTHING covered. They had a rental property company contact me weeks in advance to help plan any in home meals, massages or even family photos. They also contacted me the day before to go thru the property and answer any questions. When we got to the Gecko House (cute Geckos outside everywhere) everything was clean, organized and neatly labeled. There was some kids cups/utensils for meals and even a high chair and pack/play. There were dark curtains for kids naps. There was a backyard pool which was CLEAN and the temp was perfect (we did not add additional heating). Plenty of pool/beach towels in the propert. There was a balcony with a grill and outdoor dining table which was amazing for the evenings. There was a golf cart which made it convenient to get to the shops, nearby resort beach or resort pool. I would still recommend a separate rental car to travel around the island. We used the snorkels and gear from the property to see fish at the local resort beach, it was easy and convenient to get so many great versatile experiences from one property! Highly highly highly recommend!

We are four couples who travel with each other throughout the world. We enjoy golf, travel to new places and the company we have kept for over 50 years. Paradise Awaits did not disappoint. The house was in a great location, very well kept, and appointed with everything that you could possibly need from golf clubs, snorkel gear, ice chests, pool towels and gear, bicycles, beach chairs and the like. The interior was very comfortable and had everything that you could possibly need in the kitchen. To the owners and property managers, well done. We all loved the place and look forward to our return to Paradise. Thank you very much.

We have stayed at this property more than once. It meets our needs, is quiet, the pool is a nice plus and the view of the golf course from the lanai is a nice way to wake up in the morning for a sit and cup of coffee and the same in the evening with a glass of wine. Paradise!

This was a great place to stay. The concierge, David, was very helpful. A few things that we noticed that need work:
The slider from the kitchen to the pool came off 3 times. The retractable close line in the garage was broken. We were not correctly instructed when the pool and garden service personnel were going to be present. The master bathroom tub was not clean.
