This home is amazing! If you are considering it for your trip, you couldn't find another vacation property that is as ideal as this place. It is close to everything: beautiful beaches, restaurants, Kona Airport, but yet secluded and private. It's the best of both worlds: away from it all, but with easy (10-20 minutes) access to so many great things.. Our family loved it! You could feel the tension leave all of us the second we arrived. The decor is lovely, the beds and bedding are divinely comfortable, the kitchen is a dream, stocked with everything you could need to cook anything. We had planned to eat out more, but we loved being at the house so much, that many meals we cooked just so we could enjoy the outdoor eating spaces. Our whole family loved the hot tub and the pool. We enjoyed them every evening after our day of adventures. The owner is incredibly kind, and available for any questions about the house or the area. She also connected us with her friends who run night snorkeling trips with the manta rays (a must do/will-never-forget-it experience!) and we also did another daytime snorkel adventure at the Captain Cook Monument. Both we did privately, so it was just our family. So memorable and huge thanks to Kaili for connecting us with such kind people to be our adventure guides.
Other perks (too many to name): the amazing movie room, the huge living room with high ceilings, the design of the house which enables everyone to have private spaces, the lovely dining spaces (indoors and out), the cute donkeys who live on the neighboring property and walk up to the fence to say hello (usually daily), the great shampoo and conditioner in every bathroom, and not only does the kitchen have every type of cooking utensil you could need, but it is fully stocked with spices, flour, sugar, and other basics. (other rental homes sometimes don't even have salt and pepper!). And there are boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach bags, cooler bags, water bottles, and beach towels, all for guest use. We have traveled A LOT, and use VRBO (or other rental) homes frequently, and I don't think I have ever stayed at a home that I enjoyed more than this one. It is truly paradise!
