“We rented a house from Better Island Vacation. I would like to give a big shout out to Burt and his staff for a wonderful vacation. They were very helpful with information needed prior to our arrival to the Big Island. The house was equipped with everything you would need for meals (BBQ grill to everything you need in a kitchen) to activities (snorkeling quarter’s, bogie boards, bikes, and tennis) the private beach was awesome also. Thanks again and we’ll be back.”

“We were a group of 4 women traveling from Florida. Our Hawaii girls’ trip included 3 islands, with the Big Island our second stop. From the moment we entered Halii Kai #13D we didn’t want to leave. It was just GORGEOUS and perfect in every way! The views and sounds of the ocean were outstanding. We saw whales at a distance, tropical birds singing every morning, and a lava trail that some of us walked along the coastline. We didn’t have too much time to enjoy the amenities, but did enjoy a few hours at the fabulous pool. Making things even more perfect were Burt and Krish from the rental management company (Better Homes and Gardens), who promptly answered questions, offered recommendations, and even left a fabulous welcome gift for us. Waikoloa is north of Kona, less crowded and a bit out of the mainstream, but had plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We felt it a perfect home base for exploring and enjoying the beauty of the Big Island. Life is Good !!!”

“A really great place to stay with the family! Everything you need to have fun is there. Private beach access, pools and spas and gym. Great location. Burt and Krish followed up with us to make sure that everything was ok during our stay. This was our 3rd stay and we will be back again!”

“We rented a home from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Island Lifestyle and had an incredible experience. Burt and Krish worked with us and my family making sure that our vacation was stress free. The house was clean and well maintained. The view was amazing to wake up to everyday and is close to beaches and shopping. I highly recommend renting from Burt and his company.”

“We stayed at the Hokulei Cottage at the KaMilo property this August and it was just perfect for our vacation. Beautifully renovated, very clean, and very well appointed down to the last detail. Burt and Krish were the best hosts as they were so helpful and responsive to any questions we had. I would 100% recommend this property as well as working with Burt and Krish!”

“One of the best places we have ever stayed. Would 1000000% recommend! Views are unbeatable. Was very peaceful when we were there and amazing location near the pool and hot tub. Kitchen was stocked with baggies and all the dishes and cookware you’d need. The welcome package was a lovely surprise. Both bedrooms are very spacious and loved that both had king beds. Burt and Krish are wonderful. If we are ever back on the Big Island will definitely stay again.”
