“Thanks, Kai, for making a large family stay/visit at Kauna’oa easy and so enjoyable. It was a great location and the home was perfect. We will be back and would love to again have the benefit of your advise and service.”

“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!”

“Pauoa Beach Estate Mauna Lani is beyond exceptional! This property exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family. The views are breathtaking, the pool relaxing, the beach access was perfect and our time there was so relaxing. Each sunset was spectacular and we were minutes from the beach at Pauoa Beach Club and a short ride to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning. The bedroom over the garage was a bit far away for young children, but perfect for older teens. BigIslandVillas.Com delivered and then some!! Perfect and exceptional experience!!”
George P., Pauoa Beach Estate
“We came here with our family (9 total) to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed in this house - we were there in 2019 and obviously loved it. The home is great and the view is magnificient. We had some minor issues but the property managers were on it right away and that impressed us all. All bedrooms are air conditioned and I love having a pool for the kids especially.”
Cathy M., Fairways South 15
“The house, the beach club, the pool, the community, the beach, the views, the sunsets...all just perfect. And I’ve yet to mention to outdoor showers, the chef’s kitchen, the GEM car, the integrated sound system.... We are already planning our next visit.”
Lance A., Artevilla
“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

What owners say

“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
“Big Island Villas has managed our Mauna Kea South Fairway home for over four years. Their level of professionalism, depth of knowledge, respect for our wishes, and care for our home has been exemplary. We have a constant stream of rentals throughout the year and our experience with Big Island Villas has been superior. We wish we would have found them sooner!”
Fairways 28 South Owner
“Our relationship with Anne and Big Island Villas began in 2007 with our first Big Island vacation home rental. After purchasing a home of our own, we joined the Big Island Villas rental program and are very pleased with the results. Anne and Kai recognize that this is our home first, and an income property second. We appreciate Anne and Kai’s flexibility to work with our personal occupancy schedule and make best attempts to fill in when we are not on island. Big Island Villas has been a great partner for us over the years with their knowledge and experience on the Big Island. It has been a wonderful business and personal relationship for our family, and we are very grateful for the results.”
