What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“My family had our own pool all to our self. The sunset was amazing to watch. It was super beautiful.”
“We love our new home in Ainamalu. Getting in wasn't on our scheduled time but the people who work here are amazing. They worked with us on our punch list and helped us with so many issues that we had moving in! Special kudos to Lisa Barry, Tim, Greg, Antonita, Koda, Dillion and the man Troy!”
“Took a while to get off the ground cause of Covid but all good now”
“This subdivision of Waikoloa Beach resort was well put together and tastefully landscaped in order to preserve the natural heritage in that area”
“Great getaway. Relax in the quiet with an amazing view. Nearby shopping and dining. We plan to return.”
“Lovely home with an outdoor shower, soaking tub, air conditioning, and lots of room. Very close to Waikoloa Village and several great beaches for swimming, tide-pooling, or snorkeling, AND a malasada truck. Highly recommend.”
“Beautiful airbnb. Everything we needed! Super clean! Hosts were so responsive with any questions! If your coming straight from airport and are hungry get food close to airport because everything closes around 8pm and there's no fast food near here.”
“It was wonderful and will be returning!!! Everything was great and blessed for the unforgettable experience.”
