"My only regret is that we weren’t there longer. The place is beautiful and comfortable. What a wonderful getaway."

"We had an amazing vacation at "Rick's Place" in Milolii Beach on the Big island. Dan is the best Host we have ever had, We arrived late and the doors were open with a beautiful breeze flowing through the house and lovely Hawaiian music playing. The house was so clean and the bed was very comfortable. Sleeping every night with the sound of crashing waves and gentle breezes was heavenly. Dan has everything one could need, The kitchen was stocked with supplies, dishwasher soap, tons of utensils and dishware and pots, pans, coffee makers...couldn't ask for more! We loved the pool and swan daily. Water was good temperature and pool very clean. Sitting out on the point that lead down from the home made for many sweet afternoons. The waves crashing up on the lava cliffs was spectacular. We wanted to avoid Resorts for a change and this was perfect. If you want complete peace, quiet and isolation this is your place.I also enjoyed those little geckos that wandered about with their beautiful colors. Friendly little creatures.We had many great adventures snorkeling and pods of dolphins swam alongside and under our boat trip to Captain Cook. The people were all so kind and helpful. I drove into the little village of Milolii and met some cool natives. Most important thing is to honor and respect the people and the island and in return you will be given such kindness. We enjoyed grilling fresh fish as Dan has a gas grill. Mahalo Dan! We will be back!"

"The room was spotless, staff was exceptional. Breakfast every morning was top notch. The wildlife from the Lanai every morning and Animal Kingdom moment."

"We loved our stay at Dragonfly Ranch. The location is out of the way but perfect for seeing the beauty and splendor that is Hawaii. The people are kind and interesting. It's not for everyone. You are quite immersed in nature. There will be geckos in your room and the birds and insects are right outside. It's almost like camping with a comfy bed. "

"We had an awesome stay and feel rejuvenated! The outdoor indoor living space is such a great set up and we loved the house kitty, Pa’ele :)Hosts super responsive and kind, they embody the Aloha spirit. We cannot wait to return!"

"Amazing view, lovely house and friendly hosts. "

"Had a wonderful peaceful experience at this cute house. Plenty of cookware to use. Everything as it should be. Saw some beautiful sunsets from the dining table and even caught some Orionid meteors in the dawn. It’s also close to Honaunau Bay for snorkeling. Great spot to spend some time."

"It was amazing. Repaired my nervous system! The snorkeling was incredible as well as right there! The stars at night with the crashing of the waves. Spiritual! OMG I can't wait to come back."

"I absolutely loved this location for our stay on the big island. Checking in was smooth and Gregg gave me a call personally to make sure everything was good. The house is right by Pebble Beach which is very convenient for activities like swimming and snorkeling. There’s snorkeling equipment available at the house which was great. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. The drive to Volcanoes National Park is about 90 minutes. I loved the views from the house and having a very large deck complimented that nicely. I was able to do some astrophotography when the sky cleared up since most of the big island has skies rated Bortle 1. If you want to see the milky way, andromeda, constellations, or any deep space nebulas definitely think about staying here. I loved this experience and want to come back again in the future!"
