Such a beautiful stay on the big island. Why would you ever rent a hotel room or condo when you can have your own luxury accommodations!
With the landscaped yard and private pool, it was like having our own private oasis, just minutes drive from the beach, groceries and restaurants. The location was private, secure and quiet (aside from the occasional yard work). The house was tastefully decorated, comfortable, and the layout of the house worked for all of us, with a spacious common area and master bedroom suite at one end and the other two bedrooms and bathroom at the other end so each family could have their own space. Lots of amenities and we wanted for nothing. They even had chairs, snorkeling gear and boogie boards for the beach.
The waves at the beach closest to the house (Magic Sands) were a little rough, so we recommend the next one south (Kahalu'u), especially if you have little ones. You can climb out on the lava rocks to quality snorkeling. The water is relatively shallow and the reef protects you from the waves.
So many great adventures available on the big island, and I definitely recommend making it to Volcano National Park on the south end and the botanical gardens and waterfalls on the Hilo side. But most days we were happy just to sit by the pool, listen to all the birds, and take in the ocean view. Would definitely stay there again!
