Alexey’s home is lovely. The grounds are expansive, and filled with wonderful nooks for relaxing and enjoying the amazing sunsets. The grotto was very enjoyable in the cool, breezy evenings. We had a group of 7 people and had no issue with space - my oldest daughter slept in the theatre and used the office as her dressing/makeup room. My middle daughter somehow ended up with a room to herself, and my son slept on a cot in the room with my boyfriend and me. Mom and Dad had the room in the back. Beds are super cozy, and having three full baths was great! (Plus two outdoor showers - which I love!) The location is about 30 minutes north of KOA. We live in Pennsylvania, so driving a half hour or so to get to things is not a big deal for us. But there is a reason they call it the Big Island! Rent a car and plan on driving a lot. Overall, it was a lovely spot to call home for our Hawaiian vacation! 🌺
