This was a fantastic home base for exploring the Kona area. We loved being right next to the beach (and the shave ice truck!), and it was easy access to anywhere we wanted to go. The home itself was nice for an extended family: there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the two-story layout made it easy to have the grandparents on one floor and the kids/grandkids on the other. It was great to have lots of beach towels and toys available to use. The deck was fantastic for eating meals and watching sunsets. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.
