This place is perfect! My husband, 2 kids 11 & 13 and myself found everything we needed and then some, for an amazing week on the big island. My bro was competing in the Iron Man Competition in Kona so we came out from Maine. His family was staying down there closer to the race and as much as we’d like to be with them, it was so great to be out of the race madness and road closures. And it also served as a great place for his family to come visit us when they wanted to escape it.
The house had everything we needed, boogie boards, a wagon for the beach to lug our stuff, beach/pool toys, a variety of sizes of snorkel fins and masks, coolers, bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas. The property has 2 great, clean pools for the days when we didnt want to go to the beach. The house also comes with an electric Gem Cart! This could not have been more fun and convenient! We took it all over the place. Down to the Foodland for a quick grocery run, out to the beach at the end of the road for sunset, to the other private BEAUTIFUL beach club for the mist amazing snorkeling experience. A ton of different restaurants.
Ralph was so nice and responsive and helpful when we had questions or needed tips.
We had an unexpected friend poop in to visit and there was a super convenient and comfortable blow up mattress for him to sleep on. If and when we come back to this island, we wouldn’t think to stay anywhere else.
Thank you Ralph and Pricilla!!

This property offers everything you could want for the perfect vacation away from home. The condo is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. The beds are awesome - I have never slept better. There are coolers, floats, boogie boards, snorkel gear, bikes -- everything you need for a fun day out.
The owner helps make the stay comfortable and convenient. Ralph is so well organized you feel as if you have your very own concierge :-) He has awesome pre/during/post communication - and cares that your stay is the best it can be. Thank you, Ralph, for going above and beyond for your guests!
The GEM cart made zipping around the property fun and easy. Everything is about 10 min away -- beach, tennis, grocery, hiking, golf. The HOA keeps things immaculate -- the pool, the gardens, the tennis facility, the beach, the restaurant and bar -- you never need to leave the property, and are surrounded by luxury at every turn. It feels like you are staying at a very high end country club.
It was a really nice week for the family. I look forward to returning hopefully not too far in the future. :-)

We had a lovely time on the Kona side staying at Ralph and Priscilla's property. We rode the GEM cart almost every day to get around the resort and the Mauna Lani Beach Club was beautiful. The unit was very well stocked, and Ralph was very responsive and made sure that we had everything we needed.

All was as it was meant to be, and that is fantastic. A bit of a tropical storm hit us for a day, but it forced us to relax and slow down. A welcome and unplanned gift. Thank you Hawai’i ohana, you always provide us with the needed perspective.

Ralpha and Priscilla continue to be phenomenal hosts. This is our 2nd year staying in their place and unbelievably we had more fun than last year. The condo is very well appointed with everything you could need for your stay. I highly recommend this condo for anyone considering a stay on the Big Island.

Ralph is the most organized and responsive VRBO host we've ever rented from. The condo itself is great - very clean, and very organized. Ralph has thought of everything. The beds and pillows were high quality and very comfortable. The towels and provided toiletries were great. The beach equipment was an added bonus - lots of kids snorkel equipment, boogie boards, pool noodles, beach umbrellas, and a wagon. There is 1 kid size life jacket which was nice to have for my younger snorkeler. The pool is shared with the Ka Milo development to the north but always had lots of chairs and shade. There is a lap pool, a hot tub and a fitness center there. Being able to use the Gem cart is reason enough to book - just a few minutes down the road to the Fairmont Orchid, a few minutes the other direction to the grocery store (be prepared for $7 milk and $10 bread), Tommy Bahama restaurant, and the Island Taproom had good IPAs. The Fairmont Orchid restaurant was underwhelming but we ate one night at Beach Tree at the Four Seasons Hualalai (30 min south) and it was fantastic. The Mauna Lani Beach Club is 5 minutes by cart and had the calmest water and best snorkeling in our time there. Plus beach chairs and a restaurant good for lunch. The neighborhood is very quiet and much more relaxed than Waikaloa to the south. Great for families. Overall this is a fantastic home base to explore the Big Island or just hang out in the resort areas along the Kohala cost. We will definitely be back!

There were so many things to do! Having the cart to drive to the beaches was fantastic. The access to the resort parking was a huge perk! The house was beautiful and we had everything we needed for a great trip!

All the comforts of home and more!
We enjoyed time around the pool, the private beach and evenings at the Fairmont Orchid resort. 20 minutes to some of the best beaches on the Kona coast.
Conveniently located in Mauna Lani and walking distance to restaurants and groceries. But who needs to walk when you have access to a GEM EV cart?
Ralph was the perfect host; available when needed to get us settled in.
We’ll be back!

Everything we wanted and more the accommodations were amazing and Ralph went above and beyond with providing us with suggestions and options while we stayed at his property. I would love to go back again some time in the near future it was that great of a Senior Trip for my Son and our entire Family.

I was on the big island for a conference. This home is close to the beach and an easy drive around the entire island. The home had everything we needed including a GEM cart to get around the resort. Would 100% stay here again!
May 18, 2024
Everything was great! Loved the condo. The GEM cart was used more than i thought it would be. Great to run to the pool, grocery store, and beach club. We've stayed in this area before, but Ralph makes this condo the best. Perfect size for what we needed and Ralph is great. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!
