Our family of 5 had a wonderful time staying at this rental property. The grounds of the complex are immaculate and the house itself is terrific. There is lots of space, a beautiful outdoor and indoor seating area and the house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay: including a great outdoor barbecue and everything you need for a fabulous day at the beach! (Chairs, cooler, umbrella). They have really thought of it all. We would definitely recommend this place and look forward to having the opportunity to enjoy this rental again in the future.

We had an absolutely amazing time. This home is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed being here and will *definitely* be coming back! The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, the bedrooms, bathrooms and closets are extremely spacious and the fun beach gear (chairs, noodles, umbrellas, bikes, coolers) made our beach days perfect. One of the biggest bonuses of this amazing home is the access to the private beach about 1 mile from the house. It’s perfect. There are lounge chairs, a *nice* bathroom steps away, a full bar (Mai Tais were incredible) and the clearest water to snorkel in. The bay is small but large enough for simple activities (floating, snorkeling, etc). The setting is gorgeous and serene. We loved spending time there. Overall, this was one of the best vacations and vacation homes we’ve stayed in. Thank you for taking such great care of this place for your guests. It is very much appreciated!

Excellent floor plan, great gated development with fitness center, pool and beach club. Property was well maintained and between the property owner and property manager it was outfitted with all the vacation gear you would want and the property manager made the whole rental process stress free. We have rented a number of vacation properties and we rate this our best experience thanks to the property and property manager.

A wonderful setting with perfect accommodations for a family. Private, easy access to the beach, golf, etc. The house was exactly as described and included plenty of space for our family of 7. Nice pool/spa and backyard area for enjoying the out of doors, bbq, eating space. Kitchen had everything you could need or want for cooking. Interior tastefully decorated. Lots of beach gear as well.
Definitely on our list for another vacation. Highly recommend!

We loved this place! It’s huge, stunning, spotless and very well equipped. The location is so convenient for the Kohala beaches, groceries and shops. And the beach club access is AMAZING! The snorkeling, restaurant and facilities there are terrific. Smooth communication too. Highly recommended for sure.

The property is lovely and wonderfully situated in the Mauna Lani area. Access to the private beach and cove was a definite plus. Hapuna Beach Recreation Area is conveniently located just up the road.
The kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances and a very large complement of pans, utensils, plates, glasses and silverware. It was ideal for our stay with our grandkids. Everything about this place is absolutely first rate, and we have absolutely no reservations about recommending it highly.

Overall home decor is cheap and outdated (to put it kindly). Add to that a long list of deferred maintenance and condition problems, all of which we brought to Vacasa's attention within the first 2 days of our stay. But only 1 issue was addressed while we were there (HVAC filters clogged with 4 years of dust and debris were replaced).
Problems include: VERY FILTHY entry/kitchen/dining/living room tile. Dirty and stained carpets throughout. Scuffed walls. Burned out light bulbs in the oven and in one bedroom. Dirty windows. Screens missing from some windows. Bathroom and shower floors filthy, with black gooey grout in places. One toilet rocks back and forth (not secured to floor). Most bath faucets lined in dirt and crud at the base. Master shower door sweep literally orange-brown with years of caked scum. Cheap bedding and towels, some threadbare. Dirty and stained dining room chair seats. Dusty light fixtures with old spiderwebs. Rusty dishwasher rack. Outdoor BBQ so filthy and covered in grease it caught on fire while cooking a small steak (which burned and had to be thrown out). Lanai tile floor filthy (especially near the BBQ) and all seating areas dirty and unusable. Ironing board cover flapped around loose and unattached due to stretched out elastic. Slow-draining sink in one bathroom. Refrigerator water filter is expired and fridge service light on (refrigerator runs constantly; coils and air filter undoubtedly clogged). A couple loose and wobbly dining room chair legs. Master bedroom bench legs also loose and wobbly. And on and on. All documented with photos and videos.
Vacasa could have remedied many if not most of these issues while we were there. But all they could manage was “sorry for your inconvenience” corporate b.s. Overall a frustrating and disappointing experience.

Lex and Cheri's condo is absolutely beautiful inside and out and has everything you need for your vacation stay. We stayed there with our daughter and family and loved the closeness of the pool and the ease of getting into the Beach Club (Makaiwa) where there is wonderful snorkeling and swimming and even a restaurant. The Mauna Lani/South Kohala area is exquisite, and you will love exploring the area while staying at this spacious and beautifully decorated condo. An extra bonus is the Supermarket is only a minute or two away. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. Definitely a 5 star stay!

Beautiful house ! From the moment we all walked in we felt relaxed, like being at home. The property exactly as described, maybe better. Well stocked with family games and beach needs. We enjoyed the access to the beach club, great for kids and adults to snorkel, also great food.
Easy check in process and very detailed book for guests. There was 6 adults and 2 toddlers, perfect for all of us.
Loved the outdoor shower in the master bedroom !!!

Wow is all I can say!. I have been to many beaches in the Hawaiin Islands and the private beach is the most family friendly beach I have ever been to. The property is located in a quiet gated community. We really liked the feeling of being away from crowds. If you want to experience a slice of Hawaii this is the place to bring your family.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was truly luxurious. The owners have spared no expense to ensure guests are comfortable. It felt like staying at the home of a close friend or family member. The pool and spa within the gated community are great and a short walk from the home. We also enjoyed runs and walks to and from the Fairmont and adjacent beach. The beach club/private beach is also incredible, and a short drive from the house. It is a good place to snorkel, wander around the adjacent fish ponds, and watch sunsets. The beach club restaurant is pricey, but the food and service are solid. We walked to the small shopping center adjacent to the gated community multiple times during our stay for groceries, meals (Mexican restaurant and taproom are great), and shopping. We would definitely rent this home again.

We booked our stay here for my entire family (consisting of 9 people - 6 adults, 2 teens and 1 toddler). The house had everything we could need for our stay - including all beach gear, a pack and play, high chair, beach wagon. There were so many amenities which made it much easier to travel with a big group of different ages. The house was very clean and well maintained. The owner was very quick to respond to any issues that arose. We love staying on the Big Island and in the Mauna Lani community - especially with having access to the Mauna Lani amenities. We love forward to visiting again in the future!

This property was great for our family. The size of the unit, great location, wonderful sunset views every night. Evolve was very responsive with questions and issues as they arised. We've stayed at many of the other locations in the Mauna Lani and this one has been one of my favorites so far. Would stay here again.

The home was very nice. Communication with owner excellent. Pool close by as well as coffee shop!
Small negatives - ice maker did not work, upstairs was difficult to cool down and most of the scheduled activities were only in Kona, A bit of a drive.

My daughter & 2 teenage granddaughters stayed here for a week over the 4th of July. Steve & Maryanne were gracious hosts & very quick to respond to all our questions. Such a beautiful, clean & safe condo with plenty of room to spread out. Also, the extras we could use, like the boogie boards, snorkeling masks, beach chairs, a cooler, etc were so awesome. We also found the private beach club set up to be wonderful! We used the beach club multiple days and even into the evenings. On the roundabout coming into the condo village we also enjoyed the grocery store for quick meals, the juice bar for acai bowls, and the coffee shop. About one mile up the coast was the best public beach - Hapuna State Park beach (free), plenty of parking and wonderful for boogie boarding.
Loved our stay!!

This was one of the best vacation we have had. All because our family was able to join us and the owner has equipped this townhome so well, we wanted for nothing. One stop at the market, and we were set. The local contact was readily available to answer any questions. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

It is an excellent property in a family-friendly location with the best amenities for a perfect vacation. Everything in the house is clean and useful, and the kitchen is just amazing with all the tools that we need. There are also snorkeling gear, pool noodles, and bikes in the garage for us to use, which is great. My teenage son even learned how to bike when we were there! I highly recommend the Sea to Sky property to anyone who is looking for a great vacation with their family.

Beautiful spacious home. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the appliances were top of the line. Beds were very comfortable. The garage contained all the items for a perfect day at the beach. The ground level lanai had a very nice outdoor kitchen and eating space. Communication with the owners was prompt and fantastic. Access to the Mauna Lani beach was perfect for my family, a great place to learn how to snorkel. A very clean property in a quiet location. We would 100% stay here again!

Group of us stayed here for the Honu Half Ironman. The house is beautiful & was clean upon our arrival. Laura and Ray are great and responsive hosts and unfortunately had to deal with multiple maintenance issues during our stay. The AC unit was not working efficiently upon our arrival and the hosts dropped down the temp virtually. Couple days later the AC unit fully stopped working and a service man had to come the following day during our dinner to fix it. Unfortunately this was a temporary fix as the AC unit broke again a day and a half later. During our 12 day stay we had 4 service calls to our property. We had requested a partial refund for the stay which the hosts denied but offered a discount on future stays. Unfortunately we have no plans on returning to the Island as a group. Laura and Ray were great and responsive throughout the issues but disappointing on their refund stance as we didn't receive the comfort and amenities that we paid for. Lesson learned to all is if you have any issues or troubles with your stay, make VRBO aware right away to start a ticket as doing it directly with the host after the fact won't work.

What a truly AMAZING home to stay in while visiting the big island. Perfectly situated outside of Kona if you are exploring the island! This home is absolutely stunning with beautiful private bedrooms and bathrooms and all the amenities to make our vacation relaxing and efficient…. It allowed our family to spread out and also join together on the main level to cook and relax in the evenings after our long days on the island. Directly across from the pool and also a beach pass to the most beautiful beach Mauna Lani. The layout and the artwork in this home were pure perfection. Thank you for sharing this home with us to make our vacation complete! ❤️

the house, located in a gated community was exactly as pictured if not better. A bit away from beach, not within walking distance to any attraction, very quiet neighborhood. Perfect for the vacation where you want to get away from daily hustle. The whole house layout was perfect with kitchen and living room along with master bedroom upstairs. The patio was huge, unfortunately we didn't get to use it (I did try to light up the BBQ and could not make it to work). The only complaint I have is that at check-in I was not able to reach anybody listed as point of contact. I tried to call them because we were having a very hard time opening the garage door. Luckily, we were able to find the house and let us in. It was good that my reason to contact them was not an emergency. I would suggest them be a bit more specific with regards of how to get to the house.

This was our second time staying in this lovely well stocked home. Close to beach, stores and restaurants the location is perfect! The house has everything you need for a fun vacation. The beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were great to have for our days at the beach. The pool area and lanai were private and well maintained. The outdoor shower was loved by all! We really felt at home. Thank you for a memorable family vacation!

We had a delightful time on the Big Island in this villa! It was so spacious and well maintained! We loved all of the beach gear: chairs, umbrellas, towels and even awesome goggles (when some of ours started to fail.) We found the “house 3 ring binder” super informative and helpful—used it to pick out beaches and found our all-time favorite beach at Mauna Kea! Loved sharing meals at the huge dining room table and playing our favorite games! Enjoyed the short walk to the best coffee shop, juice place and Island Hopper Tap Room.Thanks for the memories!

We really enjoyed this property, the hosts do a great job of having all the amenities you could ever need for your stay include everything you may need to cook at home. Top of the line appliances, bikes and beach equipment were nice but really the private beach has chairs for guests to use if arrive early can use the cabana’s. There is a black sand beach nearby as well, again limited parking arrive early. Snorkeling off both beaches was fabulous enjoyed it as much as at Captain Cook. Communication with the host was amazing she was very quick to get back to us with any questions we had. The location here was great for us and do plan on returning thank you so much.
