We really enjoyed our stay and the house was a great fit for our trip. Some highlights include:
1. Super friendly management
2. Great location for our trip
3. Clean house with a well stocked kitchen supplies
4. A/C window units kept the house cool (a bit noisy at night, but nothing beyond a typical window unit would make)
5. Neighborhood was quiet
6. House was stocked with ready to use beach equipment (cooler, chairs, umbrella).
7. Private outdoor shower was a fun experience
From the house we were 5 minutes away from Hapuna Beach, 10 minutes from Ocean Sports snorkeling cruise, 20 minutes from the Airport, and 30 minutes from Kailua-Kona. It is also a few minutes away from the big resorts so if you want to go shopping or go grab a coffee, its a simple drive down the highway.
Tips:
1. Stock-up on your first day. The general store is down the street, but it is really only for grabbing something quick. We found the grocery stores at both resorts just south of the house easy to access and well stocked
2. For large groups, the "napping bed" is the least private space to sleep. Great for naps, but if you have a big group, whoever sleeps in that bed will be in the middle of everything.
3. Outdoor shower is the only shower. Fun for us, but might not be for everyone.
4. Reach out to management if you need anything. They were super helpful our entire stay.
