Cool, Peaceful, Immaculate, Ocean View, Great for Families!

We had a great family gathering in Honaunau. The location was terrific for us as it was close to family we came to see but also to newly restored Manini Beach, Kealakekua Bay, Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, Painted Church, and several other favorite spots on the Big Island. We were able to travel north or south with ease and found much relaxation on the big lanai and yard. We definitely enjoyed the fruit trees, as well as all the flora and fauna the property had to offer. We loved having turkeys over for breakfast and coqui as guests in the evenings. Shopping and restaurants were handy yet the rural atmosphere was far enough from the bustle of Kona Town but not so far to keep us from enjoying some of what town had to offer. We'd come back in a heartbeat to enjoy it all over again.

We enjoyed our stay at this home, and found it to be clean, well-maintained and very comfortable for our family (83 year old grandmother, 11 year old son, my husband and I). The view from the lanai was much better than even described! To wake up to the view of the mountain each morning from our bedroom window and to be able to enjoy our coffee and breakfast on the lanai each morning was such a treat! The space of the yard was great for our 11 year old son to run around and explore. We appreciated being away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist area and found the location to be very convenient. The owners answered our questions very quickly and were very friendly. They recommended places to visit on the island, and as this was our first trip to the Big Island, we were happy for the recommendations! The Place of Refuge was very close and certainly one of our favourite places to visit along with the volcanoe! Our entire family enjoyed this home and its location and we highly recommend to others looking for a quiet, peaceful, family holiday!

Thank you so much for the use of your home. Our family enjoyed our stay here. The sunsets are beautiful from your veranda, and the nightly serenades took getting used to, but eventually grows on one's senses. Our family enjoyed Honaunau Beach; swimming with the green sea turtles was awesome. We look forward to future visits to Kona and having the opportunity to stay in your home again would truly be a blessing for it is a "home away from home."
