Susan's place is truly a one minute walk to Magic Sands beach (which is really nice). We stayed in her beach house with our 6 month old and enjoyed the convenience of the location to beaches as well as to Kona to pick up lunch/dinner. The house is also really close to a grocery store (6 min drive). House has lots of cooking utensils and appliances - we made breakfast every day and made dinner often. House had a high chair for baby and lots of soft surfaces for her to play. A lot of towels and beach towels were offered and it was super convenient for us to have the washer/dryer. We liked that it was in a neighborhood so that it was quiet at night - this house was really great for a family.
If you're in the house during the day, it can get a little warm. There's air conditioners, but the kitchen/dining area gets a lot of sunlight so even with them on, it was mid/high 80s in the afternoon. One the days were were indoors to avoid the hotest part of the day, we ended up having to eat/feed baby in the living room where it was cooler.
