Rose’s place was exactly as described with all the amenities you could possibly need (also a washing machine and dryer, blender, microwave and rice cooker). Barbecuing out on the patio overlooking the ocean (with sunsets!) was such a joy. It’s a bit further out of the lively neighborhood of Kailua-Kona and I’d definitely recommend renting a car for at least a few days so you can drive around the area and the island and also get some groceries. Renting a car on The Big Island is a must anyway, there’s so much to see! All in all, my boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again.
