Big island memories
I understand why this VRBO gets rated so highly- the house has everything you could need for the beach from chairs, snorkels, boogie boards and more, and the resort area had so much to offer. The Gem was the icing on the cake. Ralph was a perfect host - thoughtful and quick to respond to any questions.

Terrific Condo
My wife and I had a terrific week at this property to celebrate her birthday. The property was just as expected from the photos. The location was centrally located on the West side of the island so we could hit the resorts North of us or head towards Kona. It was also close to the new highway to take you to Hilo. The owner was easy to get in contact with and did a brief orientation when we first arrived over the phone.

Amazing - start to finish
I don't usually leave reviews, even though I travel quite a bit. But this place was spectacular. Super clean, well appointed, beach gear, bikes, electric car, pool passes, beach passes, well stocked kitchen appliances, tools, etc. Owners were kind and responsive and helpful.

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.
