Multi Generation Tropical Getaway
The size and location of this property were perfect for our family. Having three spacious king rooms for the adults was key, and the kid cousins loved sharing the bunk bed room. The kitchen is well laid out and allowed for multiple people to prepare meals. We enjoyed using the outdoor grill and dining table. The pool and waterfall are great, and we all loved lounging in the hammock.
The hosts were fantastic, and there is a great notebook to guide you through everything in the house and local area. We love Poipu and Koloa, and the house is perfectly located. We really appreciated Malia providing us with a beautiful cake for my Moms birthday, which was the day we arrived. Really above and beyond and started our trip off in a fantastic way.

Great stay, lots of amenities
Beautiful home, lots of space. Perfect for our larger family, and the bunk room (and the pool) was the highlight for the kids. Amazing space to cook, eat, and gather when we weren't at the beach (only 7 minutes by car), plus restaurants, grocery, and activities. Must-stay location for anyone who prefers activities at the south end of the island. Thank you for sharing this home with us!

This house was everything we could have wanted and more! Perfect for the six adults and two children. Close to several beaches and town. The pool was amazing and we practically lived in the outdoor area!
Great fun watching the golfers, and there was actually more of a water view then we expected.

What a perfect place for a family to stay. All rooms had king beds other than kids bunk room. We travelled with an infant and they even had a pack n play ready for us to use! The backyard with pool was absolutely beautiful and was such a quiet relaxing place to spend with family. We loved every minute and would be our first choice if we can ever get back to the island.

Amazing family vacation!
Our family of 6 adults and 2 children had a wonderful time staying at this amazing property. It was truly perfect. The views, the breeze, the pool, the pool fountain, the open floor plan, the lovely rooms, the Sonos speakers, the sliding door that opens the home to the peaceful outside, the hammock, the torches, the immaculate neighborhood and just being here together was magical. We hope to be back again!

Awesome Getaway!
If you are looking for paradise, this is it!! The house is beautiful with amazing view of the golf course and distanced ocean.
We had an amazing experience staying at this gorgeous home. The thoughtful layout design of the house allowed us to gather all together for meals and activities, but also have a “quiet”escape to our lovely rooms. This house is stunning, super clean and stocked with anything can want. The whole experience was amazing!
I should mention that the sunset is also spectacular!
Love the location, very close to everything.
Malia is such a wonderful lady and incredibly communicative.. we all look forward to our next stay.

The absolute best!
We stayed in August with a party of 10 split across 3 generations - two grandparents, 4 parents and 4 kids - and our stay was perfect in every way.
The neighborhood is gorgeous - beautifully landscaped and maintained and a joy to explore. You're also within walking distance to the shops and happy hour!
The house itself is the real star, though - it's even better than in the pictures. The pool is heated and big enough for a family to splash around in (or relax in if the kids let you) and there's tons of soft grass nearby to dry off on. The backyard and lanai space are spacious and thoughtfully designed and we loved eating outdoors, listening to music on the Sonos system as well as watching movies on the outdoor TV!
When we were inside, we found a very comfortable living space across the board - bedrooms were awesome (the bunk bed room for the kids in particular was a hit), the bathrooms were well designed and the showers felt great after a day out in the sun.
The living room and kitchen felt great whether we had the AC on or if we left the front and back doors open for the cross-breeze (the door to the Lanai is a massive sliding door that opens up completely giving you even more space). Everything was fully stocked and clean!
Finally, the management was amazing - with young kids, we wanted to have some extra pool precautions and Malia set up a fence around the pool at our request. We got a great tour of the house by Michelle when we arrived so we knew how everything worked and at every point I felt like we were just a quick text away from assistance should we need anything. I am truly impressed by their attentiveness, patience and kindness before and during our stay.
I'd live here if I could - it was a dream come true.
Thank you!
