We had a fantastic time at this stunning home. The home is absolutely beautiful and tastefully designed. The owners equipped the home with bikes, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, boogie boards, and all the amenities you'd need to enjoy this spectacular area of the Big Island. The house itself comes with flat-screen smart TVs in every room and most of the rooms have a beautiful outdoor patio with outdoor lounge chairs for reading and relaxing. The large outdoor deck is equipped with a large grill and dining room table with expansive views of the golf course and palm trees. Facing west, we enjoyed many an evening looking out at the stunning sunset across the golf course.
The property managers were incredibly responsive. The toaster was broken and we received a brand new one within the hour of the email. They were gracious and accommodating from start to finish. First-class customer service all the way.
The house is located in a gated community with a gorgeous lap pool and recreational pool, gym, and hot tub. My biggest regret was not spending a bit more time there. But there were too many beaches, waterfalls and hikes to explore. We felt safe and super comfortable in the community. A rather pricey but decent grocery store is a two-minute drive away, along with a cute coffee shop and other small boutiques for shopping. The community is close to a lot of resort areas and if you stay at Hawaii Roma you get access to the Mauna Lani beach club. The beach was small and fairly crowded so we spent more time at nearby Hapuna and Mauna Kea. Hint, if you go to Mauna Kea, tell them you're staying for lunch at the Copper grill so they let you in for parking, otherwise, you'll get turned away as they have very limited parking for outsiders.
All in all, I can't recommend the Hawaii Roma house enough! We look forward to returning one day!
