This house is perfect for two couples and is a great starting point for daily adventures. There are renters below, but it didn’t feel uncomfortable. The house itself is nice with an open floor plan and a lanai with wonderful views. It was nice and cool in the mornings but got hot in the afternoons. With no a/c it could use more fans or ceiling fans to help keep cool. It is noisy (coqui frogs) at night but its Hawaii and the frogs are there. House is equipped with most things needed, great beach gear selection. The kitchen is well stocked except it only has one old non-stick pan. The internet has some dead zones around the house. It also had no cable tv while I was there, but Laura paid for a new blu-ray player with Netflix and Hulu apps on it so bring your login information! Overall the pros out weight the cons and I would recommend this place when staying on the Big Island!
