Can’t say enough about this place!
This house was the perfect vacation home for our family of 9! It had everything we needed and more. The home is gorgeous, everything is updated beautifully and there is so much space. The caretaker Candi was very nice and helpful, making the check-in process smooth and easy. It was a vacation to remember for sure! We would definitely stay here again!

Great property
Our second time staying here. Great location, it is quite rural but surprisingly central. There are groceries and restaurants just a few minutes away. It is close to snorkeling at Kahuluu Beach, a two Step, Kealakekua Bay and Hookena a beach. You do need vehicles to get to amenities and destinations. The property itself is gorgeous and caretaker Candi wonderful to deal with. The pool is a wonderful bonus. Perfect setup for an extended family getaway.

Family Vacay
What a beautiful property! Beautiful views! Candi, the host, couldn't have been more helpful. The home was as described and had more than advertised. We had Chef Brad prepare a dinner for us and it was really good. The location is not really walkable to anything as the roads are narrow with no sidewalks or space for pedestrians. Car dependent but everything you need is within a 10 - 15 minute drive. We totally recommend this amazing place.Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Perfect Family Getaway
A spacious, beautiful home with a fantastic view from a screened veranda was our family’s Christmas getaway. We also enjoyed the holiday decorations, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, swimming pool and the peaceful location. Our kids liked the nearby hiking and beaches.

Kealakekua
The house was perfect for our group. There’s plenty of room for a large group and we loved staying in south Kona which is quieter than Kailua.
The owner was very friendly and available. I loved the area and the house has a large screened lanai around the house which was perfect to see the daily rainbows. It was perfect

Gorgeous property
We enjoyed the breathtaking views and the expansive living areas. Maka Nui is beautifully designed with plenty of spaces for both togetherness and solitude. The kitchen is seemlessly connected to one of the living rooms, making a perfect setting for cooking together and socializing. The house has so many comfortable yet luxurious spots to lounge, converse, and take in the view. We really did not want to leave. The location was perfect for us. It is close to so much but secluded and peaceful. We really appreciated Candi's hospitality and the mangoes were literally falling from the tree!
