Absolutely gorgeous property- the pools, hot tubs, outdoor grills and location of the very spacious unit right by the water surrounded by palm trees were perfect. Sand toys for the kids were a thoughtful touch. The sunsets on the cliff of volcanic rock were mesmerizing. The management was very pleasant to engage with. The indoor furnishings and appliances could use an update, and the unit wasn’t as clean as we’d hoped on a arrival. The lack of air conditioning was a huge problem unless you are outside of the unit all day, particularly with kids.
Also, just generally after spending a week I wouldn’t recommend this location, or the Big Island in general for your first trip to Hawaii with young kids. It’s too big, there’s way too much driving necessary + given that there’s no food or beaches onsite you have to drive to even get basics like milk or sit on a patch of sand. Also, very expensive!
This location would be ideal for those with older children or no kids who want a remote, quiet and beautiful place to just relax and go on excursions in the car. Lots of wonderful attractions within 30 min-2 hr drive, but nothing walkable.
