Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was amazing. The house was in the perfect location and we loved our time there. During our stay we did notice a few things that were in need of TLC. The BBQ was very dirty and there was not a BBQ brush to clean off the grill. We bought one and left it behind, but that should have been provided. Also the toilet paper holders in the half bath kept falling off the wall and the one that is shared in the back of the house was so angled that the toilet paper kept sliding off. We had trouble with the hot tub the last few days that we were there. The pump turned off and it got very gross. We were not aware that there was a pump so no one thought to check that, by the time someone came to fix it we were not able to use it again before we left. When we took the garbage out the first time we realized that the previous guests had left 2 very full(almost overflowing) bins full of stinky garbage to the point we could not fit ours in without stuffing it down (nasty). I realize that garbage pick up is certain days, but that is not something that anyone should have to deal with in the first few days of a relaxing vacation. Overall the house was fantastic, we enjoyed ourselves so much it was hard to leave and go back to the cold weather we left behind.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had excellent service and communication from the management staff from day one and excellent directions for check-in and check-out. The villa was impressive and welcoming instantly. There were ample supplies and equipment for on site meals and enjoyment of the wonderful oceanfront location. The furnishing were high-end/comfortable and excellent for family gatherings as well as just relaxing. The folding glass doors and lanai were ideal for enjoying the oceanfront location at any/all hours of the day. The pool was nice for a quick dip to cool off or refresh. Here are my picky points: I expect higher quality bedding at this price point (we bought ourselves new pillows after an uncomfortable night), the level of chemicals in the spa made it unpleasant to use. Overall the villa was beautiful, ideally located and luxurious. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

For us, two grandparents, adult son, and a family of four (4 and 7 y.o.) this house was a perfect home for the Thanksgiving week. Beautiful, elegant and well-crafted. Airy inside with tall ceilings (with the occasional gecko padding along upside down), lots of windows, beautiful materials and furnishings. We especially appreciated the ocean-facing side of the house opening completely, flowing seamlessly to the lanai, pool and jacuzzi and outdoor living room. The master bedroom is the only bedroom in the main part of the house, while 3 bedrooms (1 master and 2 smaller) plus 2 bathrooms are in an air-conditioned bungalow a few steps behind (also plenty pleasant inside); lush greenery outside. For us this arrangement worked nicely, giving lots of space and extra room for quiet time. It also was handy in the morning when some would wake early and could go to the large living space in the front house without waking the rest in the back 3 bedrooms. The pool got hours of use everyday, and while not heated, it was plenty comfortable once you hopped in and swam for a bit; the heated jacuzzi was also good for warming up. A slender path that runs through the community is all that separates this home from the lava rocks and surf splashing out front. Keiki sandy beach, a short walk along the path, was also fun for all and shallow, protected enough to wade and swim in. There are some fish too (mostly in the rocky edge areas), but look out for the occasional stray sea urchin in your path. And only a short drive to Kahalu'u beach for snorkeling. Inside the posh kitchen were plenty of useful cookware, cutlery (Wusthof knives, nice), plus other items for cooking, and a grill on the lanai. Close enough but not too close to town and stores. All in all a beautiful, special house in a great spot. Thoughtfully remodeled. Geckos, mongooses and many kinds of birds shared the property. Made for a memorable and very relaxing visit.

Villa Kai is like a model home. Perfectly appointed, welcoming, spacious, well laid-out, sparkling clean, complete with lots of "extras" (laundry detergent, guide books, a lovely welcome basket). The "check-in" procedure was exactly as indicated in correspondence before our arrival and was very easy. The location was perfect...close to restaurants, grocery, shopping, massage therapist (!), etc., but still felt remote. Within 10 minutes of our arrival we saw spinner dolphins from the back terrace. We also had great fun checking out the tidal pool behind the house, and seeing the surf crash on the lava rock was something I'm still missing. Definitely felt it to be a home away from home. Cooking was a joy in the kitchen, the hot tub was a nice refresher. Plenty of room for our three kids (who loved having their own tvs, as we don't have a tv at home), us, and our friend. I didn't want to leave, and I would go back in a heartbeat!!

The house was amazing. The layout was perfect as the home was an open and maximized the ocean view. Pool was perfect. Privacy and safety were definitely big pluses. All the little things (towels, dishes, coffee machine, etc.) were all included. Close to Target, shops, restaurants and main Ali'i drag.
