I rented the 3rd floor with 2 BR, fully equipped kitchen, and huge lanai overlooking the trees and the ocean. I loved the people and this sacred place so much that I left to explore other parts of the island about once a week. Walking the property and taking in the sounds, sights and aromas is like taking a trip to another world created by Dr. Seuss, Peter Maxx, and the Wizard of Oz. I would awaken early, naturally to a symphony of sunlight and forest sounds and end my work day with plenty of time sip my Kona coffee and watch the kaleidoscope sunsets. The pictures do not do justice to the moment or the feeling. From fresh organic fruits and vegetables grown here to reliable wifi to the sauna, the pool, the inversion swing, and movie night in the Mothership, this was a perfect working vacation. Everything I imagined or needed was here - - and more. Here you will find a joyful community of folks with a spiritual connection to the land. Even the farm stay workers were happy to share their food and their deep knowledge of the Big Island. Everyone treated me and other guests like extended family members. Love was here.

However, I would definitely say this place has more intimate Airbnb vibes than formal hotel vibes. Please not that you cannot bring animal products, so if you plan to use the kitchen, your meals must be vegan. Additionally, come night time, clothing is optional. Also do not bring food into the rooms as there are ants. While this is a very special place, I would recommend people fully understand what they are signing themselves up for.

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.

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!

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!

I saw the pictures posted which looked nice, but oh my god.. The view from the 6th floor bedroom, living room and balcony were absolutely stunning!!!

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.

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
