The house and its amenities were outstanding. The house is an easy walk to the beach and offers lots of beach toys, chairs, etc. Also, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for. A perfect place to spend time with friends and family!

Wonderful!

This is a great home. It doesn't feel like a rental house. It is well stocked and spacious, and the outdoor/pool area is great. We did not really use the indoor/outdoor features since it was too hot. Other than a few minor things (WiFi was weak for example),we had a fantastic stay and hope to rent this home again. NOTE: We had to move to a different house due to the wildfires. This review is for Kaunaoa 7B at Hapuna Beach residences.

Excellent trip witht eh family

Excellent time with the family. Easy access to the beach and pool. With the resort pass you can also use the Westin Resort which has the better pool for young kids. The service was excellent as was the food at the restaurants. We definitely plan on doing it again next year.

The dreamiest vacation ever

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. Two families - four adults, four teens - and we couldn’t have wished for more. The proximity to the resort, the nightly sunsets, the well-stocked and perfectly comfortable home. It was all we could have wished for and more. Thank you!

What a Week!

I cannot say enough about Villa #21 and Elite Vacation Rentals. From initial booking to our departure, nothing was missed (and if it was, it was rectified immediately). Kirsten and Colby were attentive yet unobtrusive, and always available to answer questions. The villa is new to the rental market, impeccably clean and stocked well beyond typical rentals (think rice cooker! Shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in every bathroom - including the outdoor showers! Boogie boards, snorkel gear - you name it, it was there!). It is a <5 minute drive to MK Beach Hotel, and centrally located to the airport and towns of Waimea and Kawaihae. We travelled with both our moms (in their 70's), two teenage kids and their friends (8 total). More than enough space for all, and the plunge pool was perfect for afternoon conversation and cooling off after a day of sightseeing or at the beach. We ordered groceries to be available on arrival, and everything was fresh, organic where requested, and organized beautifully. We happened to be at the villa during the beginning of construction on the unit next door (about which we were warned prior to arriving, but after booking) and although it was loud during some (not all) of the days, we were never awakened nor bothered during all-important sunset cocktails. Elite handled this situation so professionally. Their customer service really is unparalleled. We chose to purchase resort access, and were able to use both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beaches (although Hapuna Prince Hotel is also under construction, the public part of the beach is as gorgeous and not a jackhammer could be heard). Charging privileges were available to us, and the kids had a blast renting SUPs and surfboards, not to mention consuming multiple virgin piña coladas. One week wasn't enough, and we plan to return for two next year! Amy & Derek Thompson
