Great Stay!
We had a wonderful time! Nice house with plently of space and close to the water. The ocean sounds lull you to sleep at night! Good communication with the owner. A little pricey.

Clean, well stocked home with ocean views
There is plenty of room in this home. It is probably the best stocked (kitchen spices, cooking needs, medicine cabinet, beach items) VRBO that we have ever booked.It was very clean with large bedrooms and bathrooms. We slept well in the North bedroom; the bed was excellent, nice and firm. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the lanai. Every day we would walk around the neighborhood; there are hills and level areas and little traffic. Don't plan on getting into the ocean here as it is very rough. Although we enjoyed staying here, we drove out almost everyday to go to the beach or town. This place would be the perfect spot for someone who wants to buy some groceries and escape from the world for awhile.

The two bedrooms are spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. The lanai was a great place to take meals, especially breakfast. The drive down to the house takes about 15 minutes to go 3.5 miles with 30 switchbacks, so take your time. If you're looking for a place to get away from things, this is the house foryou.

Absolutely stunning
This house is simply amazing. The location may be out of the way for some but that’s what makes it special. It’s off the beaten path, especially with the drive up & down! I cannot say enough about the views, from every window. The house itself was spectacular. I have never stayed in one with a more well stocked kitchen in the way of appliances, pans, and knives that actually had an edge to them! With comfy beds, a roomy walk-in shower, and plenty of seating on the lanai, this is truly a home to enjoy. And don’t worry about the coin operated washer/dryer, you coins are provided!

Great stay but without the listed spa/hot tub
Visiting with family nearby but was quite disappointed to find there was no spa. This was one of the main reasons I chose this house as I knew my grandaughter would love it & I needed it to help with a recent injury as well…then,told…”there is no spa”.
The house itself is quite lovely & very well equipped with nearly anything you may want. Washer & dryer each take $4 in quarters, but hot has 1st run already loaded & you’ll need quarters after that one.
Quality stay but the missing spa was a definite bummer for us & owner replied “that’s a mistake” nice

Great stay!
Very well equipped house. Given the house is a bit out of the way from restaurants, we were so happy that the house was well outfitted for cooking.The beach towels and equipment were great to borrow as well!
Make sure you rent a vehicle that can handle inclines - a 4x4 would be best!
We would love to stay at this property again!

We greatly enjoyed our three week stay in Aloha Awaits at the Southern Belle of Miloli'i. From the extremely well equipped kitchen to the thrilling views from the porch of daily whale sightings, it was a blissfully, relaxing and beautiful place.

Whale of a Time
Absolutely loved our stay at the Southern Belle of Miloll’i. If you want away from the busyness of Kona to sit back relax and take in the beauty of the Big Island this is the place for you. The home is Fully stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and sitting on the lanai watching Whales pass almost everyday, some staying for hours with their babies. Location is peaceful about 1hr south of Kona.There is a grocery in Captain Cook on the way or a small one in OceanView about 25 min south. Easy drive to Punalu’u bakery, South Point, Punalu’u “Black Sand” beach (Sea Turtles), Volcano 1.5 hr and Hilo 2hr. The Host Orchid was wonderful with communication, can give lots of tips and checked in during the stay. We have stayed in Miloll’i 3 times and definitely will be back to this home, it was perfect for 2 couples.

Relaxation by the Sea
We absolutely loved our stay in this property. We wanted some place off the beaten path and we found exactly what we needed! This house is the best stocked places we have ever stayed in through many trips. Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and lounging on the deck. The view, birds, and geckos kept us thoroughly entertained for hours. Very relaxing stay and the perfect layout.

Super relaxing trip
YES! Such an amazing house with lovely views! Great views of the ocean and at night you can count the stars, saw several shooting stars and one satellite! Every day I made sure to go snorkeling which is a 5 minute walk away.... Then I would shower, change clothes and go on adventures around the island and then come back go snorkeling again and eat dinner on the balcony watching the sunset......
On one day I had to work remote and when I turned the camera on everybody in the meeting were amazed by the views....
Can't say enough good things about the house

This house is amazing. The most well stocked house I've stayed in. The house is large and spacious with an amazing view from the lanai. It's worth the crazy drive down. If you don't want to be right in kona, this is a great place away from it all. You are about 1 hour from Kona and 2 hours from Hilo.

Beautiful home, just as described.
Modern renovated home with oceanview. Comfortably furnished, great lanai for lazy days watching whales, napping, chatting , reading, eating. Very responsive, friendly owner. Comprehensive info manual was helpful for getting settled in including good suggestions for visiting area sites of interest. Digital key pad entry a bit tricky, required a few tries. Every amenity imaginable, well-stocked kitchen, modern appliances, pots and pans. Dramatic descent to home from curvy Hy.11 & Miloli'i Drive revealed a volcanic rock environment with stunning views. Would book again.

Beautiful home
The house and property were beautiful and had everything you could need with lots of nice touches including toiletries and cooking supplies. We had 2 couples in our group and the home is laid out perfectly for that with 2 identical rooms with king beds and ensuites. The location is about a half hour drive from captain cook with a windy road leading down from the highway - A bit of a drive to amenities, but perfect for those looking to stay in a quieter area and relax. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would definitely recommend.

The road in and out is a little exciting but it did not deter us from exploring many things in the area! Some on the list given to us and some we found on our own! Very fun!

Lovely experience! ❤️
Scenic location and wonderful place. Our stay was enjoyable and the owners went out of their way and were very hospitable to make sure we were comfortable. The Lanai had views of the gorgeous ocean and unforgettable sunsets. It was breathtaking to watch dolphins right there from the Lanai while sipping our morning coffee. The clear night sky was perfect for stargazing and full moon (added bonus) view was spectacular. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked when we arrived. We felt very welcomed. There is a beach a couple miles down with public access and it’s absolutely beautiful to relax on down days. We could access all tourist attractions and amenities within driving distance and the scenery around the place made it so much more worthwhile after long days of sightseeing. We had questions in general about the area which were answered in a very timely manner. We got ample useful tips and suggestions to make the most out of our break. We were very happy and simply had a great time. The drive to the nearest stores was about 20 min or so but the house pretty much had everything we needed. Thanks so much for a wonderful time! We definitely plan on visiting in future.

Beautiful Home, Great View
The house was clean and very comfortable with stunning views of the blue Pacific! We watched the sun set while comfortably sitting on the lanai (bring bug spray though). Taking a walk reveals a dramatic lava landscape with a few blowholes.
Our only issue was that while it’s centrally located in Captain Cook, Molili’i is it’s true location, making it not truly close to anything. Going into Kona is nearly an hour north, Volcanoes National Park is an hour+ south. We were very busy on our trip which made the location a bit of a hindrance. BUT if you are looking for some privacy, relaxing time, and a gorgeous vista, this house has it!
