We absolutely loved our stay here. The house had everything we needed and more. Fully equipped kitchen, amazing outside kitchen and dining area, beach gear & cooler. The corner unit allows for beautiful views & privacy out on the lanai & it was exceptionally clean and large! My husband & I stayed with our 2 young kids (4&7) and easily could have come to this spot with friends or relatives and shared the space. The downstairs room is far away from the upstairs room which allows for privacy but was too far for our kids so they slept on a make shift bed upstairs with us on the floor. There was a soft mattress topper and plenty of pillows and sheets to make them comfy. If I close my eyes I can imagine waking up to the sunrise each day and getting to walk along the huge stretch of pathways that lead through the resort area and along the coast. They go on for miles! It’s breathtaking. That was my favorite thing about this location that would bring me back year after year. 🌺🌊🌴🌞
The private beach was great for us. Easy parking, safe swimming, snorkeling, comfy free cabanas, over priced cocktails & food steps away! The wind picked up here at times. Snorkeling was best early. Head the direction of the Fairmont Orchid for a terrific view of sunset. The house had a few minor quirks which didn’t take away from our stay. Toilets were working extra hard to flush but worked every time & the garbage disposal was sensitive. We choose not to use it. Louis was an excellent host, very quick to respond, kind, good sense of humor & on top of the minor fixes that come with home owning. One draw back for our family was the adult only pool hours and no kids under 8 in the hot tub. However the beach is better anyways 👌& there’s a giant bathtub upstairs that more than makes up for it! We really loved it here! It was our first time on the big island. I highly recommend checking out the (very wet & green;) Hilo side and the Volcano also. More of an old Hawaii local vibe over there. Thanks for everything. We’d love to come back🌺
