The cabin was perfect for our extended family vacation. it's comfortable, has many bedrooms and bathrooms, eqipped with games, comfy sofas, stocked with more than enough towels, plenty of space to cook big meals in the kitchen, and a lovely yard.
One surprise was the yard. The photos give the impression of acres of jungle to explore, but it's pretty small. However, there is a little path through the jungle if you walk up the road a bit.
I was uncomfortable with the idea of the grounds keeper being on site. Doug actually lives not just on site, but in a connected unit kind of like a duplex. It turned out to be fine. Doug was very nice and kept to hiself most of the time.
Sue was very accommodating when we added to our party and then when more family decided not to stay in Kona but to join the family in the cabin. The fee is higher for a full house. Sue also was flexible about ceck out and let one of our family members stay past normal check out to use the internet for a zoom meeting.
If you like to explore a new beach every day and particularly want to treck to waterfalls, this turned out to be a great midway location. If, however, you plan to go into Kona often or want to explore the south side of the island, it adds a lot of driving time every day. For us it worked great, and I loved the drive past the ranches and into the jungle every day. Thanks, Sue!
