This house is great for families with older children (younger kids might want a lawn and level area to play on, this home is pitched on the side of a mountain). Kids will love the geckos (inside and out of the house). Adults will love the lanai and gorgeous sunsets every night. We had a glass of wine with the sunset and it was a perfect way to end the day.
The mattresses are in good shape. Nice linens and towels. Excellent water pressure. Nice gas stove and well equipped kitchen. Didn’t have a coffee grinder, which is a shame given that it’s isn’t the Kona region, but expect Delphine will be purchasing one soon. Has a washer and dryer under the house where you’re encouraged to hang your laundry to be environmentally friendly (loved this).
The house was perfect for us ( a couple, staying in May) because it’s close to some of the world’s best snorkeling and hiking trails — that’s what we came to HI to do. It’s pretty remote if you’re into restaurants and clubs — you won’t want to drive Route 11 after a cocktail. The house might be too warm in the summer as it doesn’t have central AC (we didn’t need to use the portable units). You also have to take your drinking water with you — take more than you think need - if you’re hiking and snorkeling, you’re going to need it.
