Do your research

since I took the time to read the comments I was expecting things not to be perfect with this stay, had I not researched the property I may have been disappointed due to high hopes, with that said knowing everything with the house was not going to be perfect, I will say we had a great time. location and views are amazing the constant crashing of the waves got to be a little much by the end of the stay, but overall we had a great time.

30 days on the ocean

We stayed in this home for the full month of March 2025. We rated this a 10 based on our top three requirements: next to the ocean, clean, comfortable beds. This home met all three requirements. The ocean with its spectacular crashing waves, stunning views, and swimming turtles was wonderful. The sound of the waves at night along with the comfortable bed made for excellent sleeping. The home was clean and the two new area rugs were a nice update. However, as others have noted, this home would benefit from additional updates. For example, the couch is very uncomfortable. Our inquiries via email were answered promptly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous Views

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nice, but definitely needs some TLC. That did not deter from the beauty of the water below. We saw a turtle nearly everyday. It was a great place to visit all the sites nearby and we enjoyed the small town of Pahoa. The house was furnished well. Kitchen well stocked. We were grateful for the washer and dryer as well! All in all, very relaxing. The beds were good. We had one night that was very wet and it was a little humid in the house. But listening to the waves hit those rocks put me to sleep everytime! Thanks Liv!

We loved it so much we re-booked before checking out

Amazing location where the back yard neighbor is the Pacific! The ocean sounds are soothing. We viewed turtles and frolicking whales right from the back porch. We booked our 2025 stay before we checked out of our 2024 stay! Once we decide on vacation dates, we’ll be booking again! As a matter of fact we would change our vacation dates if needed to book this amazing place!

If you love ocean breeze and pounding surf, this is it

This is a great little house, very well designed to take advantage of its fabulous ocean view that all rooms get to enjoy. Description very accurate, manager super responsive. It's for the kind of guest who likes to throw all the windows open and listen to the wind and the thundering waves. If that's you, take it. Excellent for whale watching, too.

Incredible view

This property has incredible views! It’s definitely an older home than is in need of some updating but the beauty of the crashing ocean waves mostly makes up for it. There was no dishwasher or air conditioning but that didn’t affect

Comfy beds, great view, needs some updates

Overall, it was a good stay, and I would stay here again. The view and sounds of the ocean were amazing as promised. The beds were comfortable, which is a huge priority for me. The location is not super convenient to activities, but it is a quiet neighborhood. The only major complaint for us was the living room furniture. Every piece was uncomfortable and falling apart. There was no really comfortable place to sit together and chat.

Amazing View!

The view was spectacular and we loved the quiet neighborhood. The host was quick to respond and was friendly. Glad there was a washer with detergent, dishes and dish soap as well as shampoo and body wash. Home was easily accessible to us and parking was perfect. The floor was sticky, i told everone to wear shoes. The towlels did not smell good, they smelled like they were left in the washer too long. Front door did not have a dead bolt lock, we propt it with a chair. It was HOT, no AC, so i had to put 2 fans in my room and it was still hot. I now know its not common to have AC because of the cost of electricity. It was so hot in the house that my hersheys chocolate bar, never solidified! Also, be prepared to hear crashing waves all night, which i know is soothing to some :) Overall, great stay besides the AC. AGAIN, THE VIEW WAS SPECTACULAR!!!!!
