What we loved about Liz and Robert's place was the patio off the bedroom overlooking the garden. It's a peaceful place to wake up with a cup of estate grown Kona coffee and the chirping birds. This rental offers outstanding value for a family of four looking to enjoy the Big Island of Hawaii. The location is in a quiet residential neighborhood just off Ali'i drive within walking distance of the ocean. In fact you can see the ocean from the kitchen sink. Restaurants and shops are a 7 minute drive from the house and most of Hawaii's best beaches are within 30-45 minutes. There were four of us including our two teen-age children, ages 15 and 17. The living room has a double and a single futon, which was adequate for the kids. The single futon is really a convertible lounge chair and is small. Our daughter is about 5' 3" and she felt a bit cramped. However, Liz communicated very clearly that the bed was small. In the end it worked out fine. The house itself is well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and has an excellent shower! We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, where we prepared breakfast and cooked several dinners. Robert and Liz keep to themselves and will leave you alone to enjoy your vacation. However, they are very approachable and eager to chat if you have questions. If you need something you need to ask them. They are very responsive. One thing we found missing that would have been great is a washer and dryer. We did not want to bother Liz and Robert to use their washer and dryer, although I am sure they would have offered if we asked. I'd be willing to pay a bit more per night if the place had the washer and dryer. Over all, it was a wonderful vacation and were very satisfied with our accommodations.
