The Coconut Beach House was a great hub for our family vacation. We hopped in the car for short drives to snorkel spots, historic parks, artists’ shops, restaurants etc. We were also centrally located for bigger day trips to the Mauna Kea visitor center’s stunning sunset and the drive around the southern tip to the must-see Volcanoes National Park. And of course there is Magic Sands beach and a lovely restaurant right across the street. We were visiting during the time of year when the sand is magically off of Magic Sands Beach, but it was still very pretty. Susan was organized, responsive and gave us tips, and the space was nice and clean. The house does warm up in the afternoon sun, but there are plenty of fans, AC units and windows all around. Nights were very comfortable. Plus afternoons are better spent at the beach or up hiking the volcanoes! We had a wonderful stay.
