Whimsy is in every detail of the house - windows, roof, doors, interior... Hosts are a very interesting couple, who built this house from scratch with a lot of imagination and hard sweaty labor for us to enjoy, for a fee, of course! The house is situated in the middle of everything, with a drive as little as 20 minutes to the nearest Black Sand Beach park with honu (sea turtles) and as much as 3.5 hours to the top of Mauna Kea. A 4-wheel drive is required to climb a steep hill on which the house is situated and a beautiful ocean view with a private living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and patio is yours. We loved every second of our stay in this place!

My wife, daughter and I planned a vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii. We had previously stayed…read morein the south Kona area and wanted to stay in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area to experience the north side of the Big Island. We are a repeat customer of Hula Girl Vacation Rentals, and the owner Candace, is a gem. Before arriving, she provided us with lots of information on things to do, the beaches, restaurants and what the local population likes to do. It was very helpful planning our fun in the sun. Hula Girl Vacation Rentals is Candace's company that offered three very nice vacation rentals on the Big Island. During our first trip, we stayed at the condo located at Kona and that condo was very nice and located close to Kona's historical area. LOTS of FUN! This trip, we stayed at the large F-3 condo located in the Fairway Villas complex at the Waikoloa Beach resort. The condo was close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, and the big resort hotels - the Marriott and Hilton. Boy, was the F-3 condo nice! A first-floor one-level condo with two bedrooms, two full baths, full kitchen with all the appliances, dining room, family room, and an outside sitting area (with table and chairs). The counters were all granite and the furnishing made the stay very relaxing. The Master bathroom - large bath tub, separate shower and a large walk-in closet. Candace did a great job! The condo even included modern electronic amenities or us geeks - flat panel TV, cable TV, and easy to access wireless internet. How many times have we been somewhere where it takes a rocket scientist to figure out how to connect to the internet. Not here! There was also stuff at the condo for us to enjoy the beach: beach towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach chairs. There is also a community pool (infinity) close to the condo overlooking the golf course, jacuzzi, several BBQ grills for our use. It was so convenient to grill steaks and hamburgers in the evening instead of eating out in the restaurants every night. We got to meet a lot of really nice people there too! It is about a five-minute walk to a nice sandy beach near the condo, and along the way there is the Lava Lava Beach Club - open to the public. If you are not careful - too many Mai Tais! The condo is also a short drive to several nice sandy beaches with lots of parking - Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea, Hapuna. The snorkeling was crazy! The sand is white and the water is clear. The sunset at Mauna Kea is ..... WOW! I HIGHLY recommend Hula Girl Vacation Rentals!

Everything that you need is provided in this wonderful condominium plus, did I mention... the sunsets! The owners were responsive and easy to work with. The pool and grounds were well cared for plus the barbecues. We really enjoyed the pool area when taking a break from the snorkeling in the area. This condo is close to everything but not in the busiest part of the tourist area which was perfect. The ocean is 20 feet from the lanai plus the floor to ceiling wall of windows meant that you always had a view whether you were in the kitchen living room, dining room, or master bedroom.. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable. Had a wonderful trip and we will definitely be coming back, hopefully to this beautiful condo. Mahalo Candace

BAD COCKROACH INFESTATION!!…read more We stayed here for 5 nights in Aug 2025 and unfortunately our experience was ruined by a persistent roach infestation inside our unit. On the very first night, we killed six live roaches indoors. Over the next two days, we encountered several more inside--including one crawling near my foot while we were eating at the kitchen table--which terrified my children. We also saw many on the patio, along with ants along the wall near the sliding doors. We were unable to use the patio or keep the doors open for fresh air. Management sent pest control to spray, but the cockroach sightings continued. They offered less than 10% partial compensation, but it didn't make up for losing the ability to relax or feel comfortable in the unit for the majority of our stay. We understand Hawaii has tropical insects, but this went far beyond the occasional sighting. This was a recurring and disruptive issue that affected our enjoyment of the vacation. Management said it's "normal" for Hawaii. Well, I've been coming to Hawaii for decades and I can confidently say this is a bad infestation because I have never before experienced anything like this. Especially at resort (supposedly) of this caliber and price point. And management's response was slow and unsatisfactory. I do NOT recommend this resort. Proceed with caution--especially if considering a ground-level unit.

It not only is decorated beautifully, it is well taken care of and has everything you could need. We are a tall couple (both over 6') appreciated the high shower head so we are not doing a backbend to rinse out our hair and water pressure is A+. Even though there is no air conditioning keeping doors open and the fans going it was comfortable. We had an issue with the tv, it just quit working. I messaged with Dani and we tried a few things that didn't work. And the next day while we were out they replaced the tv. What great service! We felt the price was very fair for the quality and ocean views. Would definitely stay here again.

A Thoughtfully Appointed Gem with Gorgeous Sunsets…read more This vacation rental was an absolute delight! The unit was incredibly well-stocked with all the little essentials you might forget to pack--thoughtful touches that made the stay so much more comfortable and convenient. Its location right on the ninth green made for a peaceful and scenic backdrop, and the home itself was clean, well-maintained, and inviting. The lanai was especially comfortable--a perfect spot to relax and take in the slice of ocean view. We were treated to truly memorable sunsets each evening. A wonderful stay all around! We will be back!

There is live music right outside the building every night which you can't hear from the top floor, the sunsets were breathtaking and Susie was an absolute sweetheart to work with, she has no shortage of ideas or recommendations if you're unfamiliar with the area. If you're looking for a safe, secure and very affordable place to stay on the big island, this is it. I will certainly be back next year.

The lanai was similarly large with a table and 4 chairs, plus 2 recliners the owners placed on a bit of artificial turf. And the view of the coast did not disappoint! Crashing waves against lava fields made for exciting watching. No whales were seen this trip but they definitively are out there passing by. The folks at KCV were amazing and attentive from the moment we engaged them months ago in planning. They provided support and many recommendations on what to do for entertainment and meals in the area. We look forward to returning in a couple of years!

Sea Village property: The portable AC unit was not portable, in that it is in one location and you…read morecannot move it. It is rated for 450 square and the condo was 698 square feet. So, running it 24x7 would only cool the condo down to 84 degrees, in the afternoon. It also ran at about 70-80 decibels, so good luck watching TV or holding a conversation in the living room. We complained about this, they said there was nothing they could do, that the description was accurate. After we threatened to just leave and book somewhere else, they sent a handyman to assess. When he got there, he thought he was replacing the AC unit. The one he brought was rated for 350 square feet. So, rather than replacing the fully functioning inadequate AC unit with a less adequate one, he put that one in the bedroom. It was just as loud as the other one. So, with both "portable" AC units and 2 box fans running (yes, ear plugs were required to sleep), it would still only cool the place down to 82 degrees in the afternoon, until late evening. The attitude of their customer service was just horrible.
