Discovery Harbor vacay
Wanted to get a feel for DH vibe. My son recently purchased a lot there. This is our 7th trip to the Big Island, and first time to stay in Naalehu. Definitely more chill, less people and less touristy. Volcano was spectacular! House was adequate. Furnishings were spartan, not very homey. Kitchen was very nice with newer appliances, except the frig door didn't seal tightly.Overall an enjoyable stay, it's Hawaii!!

Beautiful Home!
Ivy's home is beautiful and very private! It was rooming and perfect for our family of 7. Everything is new and extremely clean, organized, with all the needed amenities and more. There is an ocean view private golf course in walking distance that will give guests passes and also has a clubhouse for meals, drinks, music, which we took advantage of. Ivy was very easy to communicate with and gave us great suggestions/recommendations. An added perk was renting their Ford Expedition! I hope to stay at their property again.

Gorgeous & cozy new home
We loved our time at this amazing house. Bright, super clean and well appointed! Very modern yet comfortable and spacious. On the road to South Point and the green sand beach which were both spectacular! Host was very gracious and quick to respond. Thanks for a great place to relax each evening!

Nice “base camp” for multi-generational family exploring the entire Big Island
Very nice place. Had everything we needed. Location was perfect for exploring erupting Volcanoes while still being close to several different beaches. The town of Naalehu was adorable and the food (Hana Hou and Punaluu Bake Shop) and people were wonderful. A nice change of pace from the resorts in the Kona area.Highly recommend a 4WD vehicle to get to allthe beaches, MaunaKea, etc.

The property was very nice and in the perfect location for our needs. The only issue we had was the guest bed was not comfortable and thought to be very old or poor quality.

Well appointed home in an excellent Location
Very clean and beautiful modern home. Well designed with high ceilings, an open living area and a large well equipped kitchen. It is located in a beautiful location between Kona and Hilo. Easy access to the main Highway made it easy to visit nearby attractions like the famous Naalehu Bakery and Black Sand Beach as well as the Volcano National Park, and many parks,hikes, and beaches near Kona and Hilo. Excellent Value! Mahalo

House had a great open floor plan in the living spaces and private sleeping areas. Kitchen was well equipped, and we loved the back porch to get morning breeze while sipping on coffee. Very convenient location to all the attractions around the area. Very clean home!! Thank You!!

The house was great and we had 7 of us. We fit comfortably and everything we need was there. Nice quiet neighborhood. We had to drive awhile to get to our activities, but it was well worth it. Communication was amazing when we had a few questions - reply was prompt.

Good stay
Quiet location. Modern, clean accommodation. The security seemed a bit over the top but one gets used to it and it wasn’t a hindrance. For frequent Hawai’i travelers, you will be glad to know that the area is not rooster-heavy… but there are coqui frogs.

Smartes Haus mit sehr gut ausgestatteter Küche
Neues Haus, sehr gepflegt, sorgfältiger Umgang wird erwartet und durch klare Regeln festgeschrieben. Viel Kontrolle durch Ring-Sicherheitsysteme, es blinkt und klingelt ziemlich viel. Eigentümer wollen das zukünftig etwas reduzieren. Garten ist noch nicht angelegt, Überdachte Terrasse etwas klein für 5 und mehr Personen. Discovery Harbour liegt nah an vielen landschaftlichen Attraktionen der Insel, ist zumindest im Frühjahr aber sehr regenreich. Selbstversorgung dank toller Küche sehr gut zu realisieren! Vermieterin freundlich, zuverlässig und hilfsbereit. Meldet sich bei jeder Frage umgehend zurück.
