Great stay on the Big Island
We had a great time in this vacation home on the southern side of the Big Island. Great place to stay with family! We would have loved to stay here longer!

Private, relaxing getaway with a wonderful view
The house is just over an hour away from downtown Kona, which is exactly what we wanted, to get away from the crowds. If the gorgeous view wasn’t enough, the area had everything else you needed. Local cafes, grocery shops, gas and friendly people. The house itself has everything you will need, some games, beach equipment, bbq grill, full size washer and dryer, and plenty of various patio furniture to relax on. The house was clean and the property is spacious. You’ll feel like you have the island to yourself yet you’re close enough to the main road. Just a short minute drive gets you on the main road to head to your destinations. We found going to Hilo rather than Kona much more pleasurable. The drive is a bit longer, but the roads are much less curvy making the drive easy and enjoyable and you pass through volcano national park so if that is on your list of to dos, you’re only about 45 minutes away. Plus Hilo has much more to offer as far as shopping and local businesses go. But, since the house is near the southern tip, you can choose either direction with nearly the same amount of travel time. We will definitely book the house again should we return to the Big Island anytime soon!

Awesome getaway!!
My mom and I stayed here for a community event we had to do near where the home was located. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it. It’s HUGE and has a lot of space for a big family. The views from each room are phenomenal and the host was very receptive and answered extremely fast anytime I messaged. We had no issues at all here and will definitely be back. Mahalo for letting us stay in your beautiful home!!

Away from the tourist Hustle and Bustle..
We enjoyed our stay at this property (Dec 6-Dec 12, 2023) The hosts were in communication just before we arrived and responded quickly to the few questions we had. The home was spotless and located in a quiet remote area away from the touristy areas we had experienced previously on another island. Felt very comfortable our entire stay, and were within decent driving range of National Parks and several different types of beaches each had its character, and we enjoyed it. The view of the ocean and the night sky from the property added to the overall experience. We are already talking about our next trip and will most likely try to book the same location if it is available.Thanks, Linda and Kevin..you have a great property and we treated it with great respect and appreciation.

The home was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, nice and clean. It’s in a very quiet part of the island which we loved. Not far from volcano and south point adventures. We had a great experience.

Just what we needed
This is our 6th visit to see family that live in Oceanview. So far, it’s the nicest place we’ve found there. Everything we needed was provided including our favorite lounge chairs to sit in on the lanai and recliners in the house. Everything that is except something to keep away or protect us from the mosquitoes. Stop somewhere (I suggest Walmart in Kona as it’s also a great place for souvenirs) before you arrive and buy one or the other, or both (if you do any hiking, mosquito repellent is often recommended) and you’ll enjoy your time relaxing on the lanai more. Family nearby brought us a mosquito coil, it did the job.

Great house in a unique neighborhood
I am always in charge of finding our houses for vacations and I love looking for ones that are a little unique or special to the area. I loved the remoteness of this one and the views of lava and the ocean. When I booked it, my husband wasn’t so sure but after our stay he was on my side! The house was comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, and was in an interesting location - easy access to South Point, black sand beach, Two Step for snorkeling (highly recommend), etc. We really enjoyed our time in this part of the island and in this house. Thank you!

Beautiful Views!
Great property! We loved staying here. A couple of things to be aware of, there is no AC (we didn’t need it, so not a big deal), you will need to bring bottled water in for drinking (again not a big deal). Ocean View does not have a lot of places to eat if you are not planning to cook. When you look online it seems like there are quite a few, but in reality it’s pretty limited. We wanted to try the Thai place close to the property. We even drove back from Hilo early to make sure we made it back in time to order. They only take a limited number of orders each evening. We went by at 4:45 and they were not taking anymore orders that night. Just a few things to consider. The location is beautiful and it’s quiet. We enjoyed our weekend get away.

Great location for beaches on the south of the island
The property had everything we needed and was very comfortable for 4 adults. The location was great for visiting both well-known and more secluded beaches. We especially enjoyed the proximity to the Punalu’u Bake Shop for malasadas each morning as well. The host was very helpful in answering questions before and during our stay. We hope to return sometime.

The house is very well equipped. We enjoyed the quietness and privacy of the location. Each bedroom has sliding doors which is awesome to bring in the nice breeze. We visited Green Sand beach, South Point, Two-step beach at a hike at the near by state park.

Comfortable and relaxing!
Hi! We greatly enjoyed our stay at your property. The garage was super great to have! Everything was very comfy and easy to use. We struggled with your front door key, communicated with your property manager for attention to the lock, but otherwise, we had no issues. We had no idea this place was so close to the lava tube in the same area! We greatly enjoyed that tour as well. We visited South Point, bought goodies at Paradise Meadows, and ate at the neighborhood Thai restaurant. Yumm! Your home, the lanai, the birds and scenery - just so very nice. Thank you again!

Relaxing and beautiful
We spent three nights in this very comfortable, clean, and well-stocked home. The views were tremendous, and we loved the ocean breezes. There were 4 adults and 2 kids, and we were all very comfortable and had plenty of room. The property manager was terrific and was able to get us checked into the house with no problems when my phone had issues and wasn't getting messages. She contacted my daughter who was already in Kona anasnot us into the house. There was plenty to do in the area, and we were given several suggestions for activities and restaurants. The caves were amazing! This was our first time staying on the south end of the island, and it was really enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again in this home. It was quiet, relaxing, comfortable, and very clean. Great time!

Peaceful and beautiful
Our family of five stayed for two nights in Ocean View, as we were looking for a more secluded, "no tourist" location. This home has an amazing view of the ocean from each of the three bedrooms. The beds were all very comfortable and the home was well stocked with everything we needed (beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels). It was very clean and we felt safe to enjoy our solitude (i.e., motion lights with a gate at the driveway). We explored one of the the four green sand beaches in the world (Papakolea Beach) as well as the best snorkeling on the Big Island (Two Step Beach, Honaunau). There is a market up the street with anything we needed as well as several restaurants. Many coffee and macademia farms to explore as well. If you are seeking a simple stay to enjoy the island's beauty, this is perfect. We would love to return. Mahalo!

Clean, bright, updated and comfortable property!
This was an extremely clean, bright, updated, comfortable and well maintained property that was well stocked with everything we needed. It was a great spot from which to easily explore some of the most beautiful parts of the island without having to drive for hours. The house is located in a very quiet and peaceful area with views of South Point from the Lanai. We would definitely come back!

Peaceful and serene
The house and location was absolutely perfect for us. The skyline, ocean views and coastline from South Point to Humuhumu Point were spectacular and relaxing with that perfect drink in the afternoon. As night time rolled in, the sky lights up with so many stars and planets it is unreal, crisp, clear (except the one night it rained) and quiet, very peaceful for relaxing after/before a busy day sightseeing. Another big plus is the ability to go the Kailua-Kona or Hilo side for activities made it an even more enjoyable way of spending our time. There are many local areas to hike and find that private/peaceful beach area, from Manuka Bay to Pohue Bay (coastline below the house) to Papakolea Green Sand Beach at South Point. Just so much to go into, its best to experience all this while staying in a completely stocked vacation home. The home was very well stocked with such nice amenities in the kitchen, bathrooms and throughout, there were even board games for kids, as well as outdoor games made available for family fun. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the home itself is very nicely decorated. The BBQ area was the nice relaxing spot!!! We will be returning for future stays. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful paradise.
