My brother lives in the Big Island (on the Hilo side). He's been asking my husband and I to visit from NYC for many years. Well, this summer (2014) we decided to do it! Three weeks altogether.

We all decided to spend a long weekend in Kailua Kona to break up our visit and take advantage of the white sand beaches and wonderful golf. After much research, I selected Liz and Robert's Ohana.

All information from Liz and Robert was accurate, well written, and useful - both before and during our trip. All communication was tended to quickly and completely.

We all loved the location, amenities, and SPACE! The outdoor patio was particularly quiet and private. A great place to relax, enjoy meals and snacks, and read. And the shower was beautiful and functional - a big MUST HAVE when you're in and out of the ocean. One more thing, it was so thoughtful and guest-friendly to have access to snrkling gear, including fins.

We were able to walk to White Sands beach which was a real treat for cooling off and watching the sunset. The drive to Kailua Kona was short and easy - and, importantly, we earned to naviagate around the traffic to get to the Kohalo coast and to points south.

The proximity to Keauhou Shopping Center was so convenient for the Farmer's Market (on Saturdays), the drug store, and a KTA grocery store.

All in all, we couldn't have asked for more.
