The descriptions of this place are spot-on, but the pictures don’t quite do it justice as the patio and sliding glass window view overlooks the Muana Kea Beach Resort (with the Hapuna, Muana Lani, and Waikoloa villages stretching down the horizon), and the living space feels larger than what is advertised {granted it was just two of us, and we spent the majority of our time at the MK for our nephew’s wedding events}. Perhaps we would have felt less spacious if we had 3 or four adults sharing the bathroom. Communications with the host were prompt and consider. Highly recommend staying here!

This house is so perfect, Beautiful setting, well furnished, we enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner for our stay. They even had beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, cooler, beach towels etc for our use. We had breakfast and dinner on the porch overlooking the beach, and the mountains are also beautiful. Everything was perfect. Checkin and checkout was straightforward, no hassle. Would definitely recommend.

Great location!

This house was in a perfect location to easily access our two favorite beaches (hapuna and Mauna Kea). It was super clean, the kitchen has all new appliances, and the patio was great. The umbrella was broken when we arrived, but Georgine was quick to respond and brought us a new one. We would definitely stay again!

Georgine’s property is nothing less than lovely. The bedrooms have comfy mattresses and great cotton sheets; the kitchen is well equipped; there’s a great selection of novels if you forget yours; and best of all a relaxing lanai where you can have a perfect happy hour and watch the sunset.
