First off, you can trust this review to be accurate and honest. Secondly, you can trust that this property is exactly as advertised, and that you won't be disappointed with it.
Although it is best suited to groups of 6 people or fewer, we spent a full two weeks here with 6 adults and two kids. The owners went out of their way to make sure that we were all as comfortable as possible, and in this they were entirely successful.
The property is extremely well cared for, clean and beautiful inside and out. You'll want to spend as much time as you can by the pool, as the view (facing west) overlooking Kailua-Kona and the ocean is captivating, expansive and utterly breath-taking especially at sunrise and sunset. The patio around the pool is very large and comfortable, with lots of space for people to stretch out, read a book, chat etc...
The interior has been beautifully decorated and designed, very comfortable, and has more than enough room for everyone to be able to do their thing. Three large bathrooms, (and an outdoor shower with hot and cold water) were much appreciated with a larger group like ours. Everything about this home exceeded our expectations, which were based only upon what we learned from the HomeAway listing and talking to the owners before signing our contract.
You aren't being hoodwinked with nice looking photos or a high-pressure sales pitch with this one.
You'll need a car, especially if you want to pick up some groceries or go to dinner or the beach, but you won't have to drive far at all. Everything is very handy, all services and shopping is close by, and it is easy to get around. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the airport, 45 minutes to Hapuna Beach (if traffic is 'normal') and about 2 hours to get to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The grounds and pool are extremely well maintained, and a pleasure to use and be around. There are lots of little "niceties", such as an ice maker, bar fridge on the pool patio (as well as a large barbeque), outdoor speakers around the pool area for listening to music/radio etc., all the cook-ware and appliances you will need (and might wish to have in your own kitchen!) to name a few.
A minor electrical issue surfaced during our stay, and while it did not create any difficulties for us, the owners never-the-less made sure that it was rectified immediately, in less than 24 hours. They are definitely dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as they can.
You won't regret booking this property, it is absolutely gorgeous and worth your while. We honestly can't say enough about it, and about our experience there.
Thank you so much to the owners, for providing such a wonderful place for us to stay!
C.F. and family
