This property and the host, Ruth, is the best VRBO we’ve stayed at. The location is rural, which is a plus for us. So quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The place is immaculate, so comfortable and she’s thought of everything to make our stay feel special. Its location to the green sand and black sand beaches, in addition to the national park and mountain cannot be beat. We loved it.

Un beau et grand logement, bien équipé, avec une terrasse qui permet d'apprécier la mer et le café matinal. Endroit propre et très moderne.

We wanted to be close to South Point and the green sand beach for a change his time on Hawaii, and this turned out to be the ideal staging location for seeing sights on the south side of the island. The listing was exactly as described, spotless clean, well appointed, and the owner provided a number of complimentary products. We felt like it could be our home. We would definitely book again if we wanted a location on the south side of the island!

From the Owner: "Thank you for the fantastic feedback, David. It was my pleasure to host both of you. Mahalo nui for being such wonderful guests. Should you ever wish to return to the south end you are always welcome here!"
My family of 5 loved staying here at this clean and welcoming rental. 3 kids ranged from 12-19. Nice updated bathroom, clear labelling of all cabinets and drawers helped to navigate the kitchen. Property was super nice and clean. With two teenage kids and five people, it was harder to have only one bathroom, so just something to keep in mind if you have big kids who need more time in the bathroom. Place was accurately described, host was warm and communicated well. There were snacks and water bottles, and some aloha treats! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

From the owner: “Susan, I so appreciate your wonderful, detailed review and I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Teenagers do like their preening time! We might expand the outdoor shower area based on your feedback, so mahalo nui for sharing.”
Ruth was the best host! Quick to give travel and trip tips to us and welcoming and quick responses. We had all we needed including extras in the house for us to use while there. Would def choose again-perfect for exploring the south of the island-hiking to green sand beach and visiting the national park.
From the owner:"Thanks for the wonderful review, Paige! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope we see you again during your next trip to the Big Island."
