10 days of paradise
4 couples in this trip. The property is perfect for this kind of group. Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own bathroom and shower. The kitchen and living area is large and open creating a great meeting area. The screened in deck makes a relaxing area with plenty of furniture on all sides making a book reading get away easy. The pool in the midst of a beautiful landscaped yard was the icing on the cake. Candi was great checking in on us and letting us know we could call if anything was needed.

Spectacular
Unbelievable views! The house and grounds are immaculate. Candi and Jed are exceptional hosts. Manini Beach is just minutes away by car and offers good snorkeling access to Kealakekua Bay. This house has everything and is precisely as described in the listing information. Our party of 7 adults and 2 teens had a memorable vacation stay!

Wonderful house and trip!
The Maka Nui felt like home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. As others have mentioned, Candi is great, very friendly and laid back. I would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful property…Perfect
Wonderful home and owners. Candi and her family are awesome and available when needed! Great place for large groups. Nice, spacious and comfortable common areas in main house. Everything you could possibly need in kitchen is available. Bedrooms are big with comfortable beds! Our group of 9 appreciated each bedroom having a full bath…really helped getting everyone ready and out the door quickly to enjoy Hawaii! Plus there is a bathroom in the common area of home. The lanai (patio) is enclosed by screen so you can enjoy the outdoors bug free and the view wowzer…fantastic. Great pool area for those times when you just wanna relax or enjoy a swim. The grounds are gorgeous and very private. We loved it.

Wonderful place to relax
We visited Hawaii with our family of 5 and a group of friends. The space was perfect for us! The rooms are huge and there's plenty of living space to hang out together, or spread out and read quietly on your own. The lanai boasts a gorgeous view - perfect for drinking coffee in the morning, catching a sunset, or practicing yoga if that’s your thing. We had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful
Some key points: Great communication, which to me meant timely updates to questions as well as letting us know very clearly when people may be on the property for maintenance. The property was what was described and the location, especially at sunset, was amazing. Checkin was easy and our overall experience was what we expected for any location on the Big Island including teh sounds of nature and a laid back experience. Would certainly recommend.

Great Family Vacation House!
We spent a week in the house with 6 adults and 3 children and it was wonderful! Tons of space for everyone and the kids loved the pool and all of the space outside to run around. We would definitely book again!
