Fantastic Vacation! - June 2011
Submitted: July 24, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
I would first like to thank Kirk & Amy for renting their condo to my family and I this June. We had an amazing time! We stayed a total of eight days and really wished it would have been longer! Kirk was extremely helpful during our planning as well as throughout our stay, and was always willing to help provide tips and pointers on everything from dining options to areas of interest. The condo was very clean and well kept, and the beds were perfect for my wife and I and our two daughters(8 & 5) after a full day at the beaches and other day trips.
We really loved the lanai, the views of the water are incredible. Enjoying a cup of local kona coffee while watching the sun come up really gets you in the right mindset for a day at the beaches. On our first day, we made our way to Kekaha Kai early in the morning, we were the first one's on the beach that morning and it made for a great start to our trip. As my oldest daughter and I made our way across the beach, she looked at me and asked, "Dada, is this paradise?", which pretty much say's it all. We ended up spending most of our remaining beach time at Hapuna, which is incredibly beautiful and is also very family friendly, and it's just a short drive up 19, as most of the preferred beaches are.
We really loved the fact that staying at the condo made our trip feel more like we were staying local. The big resorts are nice, but they just don't have the same appeal as a very nicely kept property such as the Sea Village. We loved having the convenience of the full kitchen, washer/dryer, and not the mention the wireless access, it's nice having the option to eat in if your just too tired from the day's activities.
My wife and I try to make it a point to visit different places every year, but we both agreed that after this trip, we will definitely make our way back to Kona soon, and hopefully Kirk's place. The Sea Village is located in a great area just south of the main activity on Alli drive, so you have a lot of options on dining and shopping, and their all within a 10/15 min walk. A strong two thumbs up!
Mahalo Kirk & Amy!
