Our ocean view condo was such a beautiful retreat! We were able to enjoy the island as tourists while still enjoying the comforts of home. The home was exactly as pictured, but even more spacious than we imagined. The lanai was a lovely place to relax and take in the stunning ocean views. Our neighbors were friendly and courteous. We were also pleasantly surprised to find boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, & snorkels to use at our leisure. The grounds of our condo were incredible and offered three pools with jacuzzis, tennis courts, gas bbq grills, and walking trails to the golf course & a lovely spot to snorkel. From the date of booking, Michael was extremely helpful and communicative. He offered a plethora of ideas to make our trip to the Big Island as special as possible. We took a few of those suggestions including kayaking to Cook’s Monument & snorkeling there, parasailing, touring a local coffee plantation, visiting many sights along a road trip to Hilo including two National Parks. In addition, we visited the stunning local beaches to snorkel, boogie board, & relax. All in all, this was a dream vacation made better by our incredible home away from home.
