Our stay at Vacasa Hawaii was the highlight of our trip to the Big Island. The condo itself is lovely and modern, and the beach toys made beach time very simple (coolers, boogie boards, 2 working beach umbrellas, 4+ beach chairs, sand toys for the kids, and some snorkel gear). The condo also had some fun books and games for the kids (ages 6 & 4), which was a nice surprise. We loved that we could walk about 1 mile to A-Bay for good snorkeling in the morning, and drive ~15 minutes to some of the best beaches on the island (Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach, both park of the Hapuna Beach State park). In September, the pool and hot tub didn't ever seem crowded. The whole compound was beautiful and really well maintained. This unit is on the ground floor, which was really nice when loading and unloading all our gear; the reserved parking space is close by, as well. It may be helpful to note that they have a rule that you can't leave anything out on the lanai/patio to dry overnight, which just meant we were setting things out every morning and bringing them in at night. Not a huge deal, just a little annoying with swim/beach gear for 6 people that never got totally dry. There are some hooks out on the lanai which do help with spreading out all the wet stuff. This would be a great place for a family of 4, or if there are more of you, consider bringing an air mattress. The hide-a-bed is terribly uncomfortable. If our kids were older and didn't need to be tucked in a bedroom at night, it probably would've worked for them, but it was bad for the adults.
