Anne and Kai Rediske

Run by the Rediske family since 1990

Anne Rediske moved to the Big Island in 1982, opened her real estate practice in 1987, and started Big Island Villas in 1990. Her son Kai grew up here, studied finance at Santa Clara University, and came home to run the rental side with her.

When you call, you talk to Anne or Kai, and they've been inside every house.

From our guests and owners

“Anne and Kai have successfully rented our house since 2012. They are thoughtful and detailed to match renter’s needs and wishes for a positive rental experience. At the same time, they are careful to have clarity of rules and expectations of our house. When any questions or issues arise, we work together to get them solved quickly.”
Kauna'oa 8B Owner
“Thinking about all our Big Island trips facilitated by you…it has been 20 years…maybe more! Thanks for all the years of help and guidance …I always know I can rely on you and that feels great!”
Lynn R.
“We had a wonderful stay at Kanini Estate. Our family of 13 all felt like they had enough room and privacy. Pictures don’t do this house justice! Our hosts were accommodating and friendly. We would happily rent from them again.”
Courtney E., The Kanini Estate
