The perfect slice of paradise! We can not rave enough about this home. It's perched over a lava cliff, looking out onto the ocean, providing panoramic views of the water and surrounding volcanic slopes reaching to the ocean's edge. The home was immaculate and had more than enough room for our family of 6. Our kids' favorite sleeping spot was on the futon on the lanai. If you want to stay somewhere away from the hotels and resorts, this is perfect. Shop at Costco in Kona upon arrival and drive an hour to the house. You won't have any grocery stores or restaurants close by, so be prepared. This is exactly how we wanted it. We spent our days exploring the beaches South of Kona and at night, we would return to make dinner and collapse in bed and listen to the whales all night...YES! Whales! Each morning, when we awoke, it felt like we were living a dream. Minh, the owner and Dina, the manager were both extremely responsive and kind. From the moment I inquired about renting the home, Minh was excellent at communication. The house had everything we needed, including shampoo, soap, kitchen and food items, laundry detergent, beach towels and snorkle gear (though we also brought our own). The beds and bedding were new and better than we have at home. We slept so well. You should know the beach below the home isn't very safe, but you are close driving distance to other great beaches. Also, be prepared for one of the steepest roads you ever driven when you head down Kona Paradise neighborhood. It drops significantly and you need to be cautious about overburdening the brakes. The Kona Paradise neighborhood was very, very quiet and beautiful. If you want great fresh fruit, don't get it at the store! Get it at Fruity Judy's a few minutes South on the HWY. It's full of the most gorgeous local fruit (Meyer lemons the size of grapefruit). It's a self-service stand and payment is based on honesty. It had way better selection than South Kona Fruit Stand. This house is a large part of what made our Hawaiian vacation a dream come true. We hope and pray we can return to Minh's beautiful home. Mahalo.
