This property exceeded all of our needs.
Initial thoughts: Nice little residential neighborhood that was very quiet and peaceful. Neighborhood market, gas, and dining options down the hill. Steep driveway leading up to a perfectly positioned home with a large porch and sweeping views of the ocean and village below. Beautiful landscaping as well. The home was clean and was a perfect set-up for our family of five: Myself/spouse, grandma, and 2 kids age 16 and 9. There were wonderful outdoor dining and relaxing areas with beautiful views. The sunsets here were incredible! We really enjoyed eating dinner under the gazebo and soaking in the view and vibes.
Beach gear: One thing that almost prevented me from booking this property is I was not sure if there was beach gear. This place had it all: beach chairs, mats, snorkeling gear, towels, umbrella, tent, boogie boards, cooler bags, and more.
Kitchen: Had everything we needed including a rice maker, toaster, coffee pot, and complete sets of dishes. There were seasonings and other miscellaneous items for cooking. Fridge has an ice maker and water.
Living room: We were able to stream our favorite programs via the xbox but did not spend much time in here. The couch is a pull-out bed as well but we did not use it.
Bathrooms: Stocked with necessities such as TP, hairdryer, hand soap, and towels. Some first aid and shower items provided as well. Having the 2 bathrooms was necessary for our family.
Bedrooms: Beds were comfortable and linen all smelled very fresh/felt new. Clean and comfortable with plenty of sleeping options. The closets had baby items as well (playpen/car seat). The master bedroom has a sit/stand desk with an extra monitor making it easy to handle business. TV in the master and queen bedroom. Hangers and robes, plenty of closet/dresser space.
Other: There were games and books. I really enjoyed reading "Hawaii, The Big Island Revealed" and recommend it! We visited many places from the book and the advise was on point. This was our first time to this island so it was a great help.
Communication: Owner was responsive and provided all the info we needed. Very easy!
Overall, I highly recommend this home. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
