We stayed at Caryl and John's place with 2 kids - 2.5 yr old and 8 month old.
I highly recommend this place.
Here are some things I'd mention in addition to what others have already mentioned
- Caryl and John are very warm and caring folks. They maintain the property very well.
- There's lot of space for kids to play
- The kitchen was very useful to us. We were amazed that Caryl had it stocked with curry powder, pressure cooker, belan (rolling pin) and tava (pan to make rotis). We are from India and coincidentally Caryl had spent a few years in India long back !
- Location is very good - close to the airport and kona downtown
- We could use the beach chairs and boogie boards (good for kids). Caryl guided us to the best beaches. Thanks to her we got to see a free hula dance. We are vegetarian, so spending money on a complete hula dinner would have been a waste
- We had to spend some quality time with Caryl and John before leaving and shared quite a few stories. Definitely a memorable experience. We stayed at 3 different places in thia Hawaii trip and Caryl's is the place we liked the most.
