What a fantastic vacation spot!!! First of all the location is perfect for anyone who wants to be a little off the beaten path , away from the downtown resorts of Kona and right next to the water. We love nature and the combination of birds by the house, dolphins in the bay and reef diving/snorkeling right out the front door was just fantastic. Most days whales could be seen breaching at the mouth of the bay. The house itself is cozy, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and, if anything, better than advertised. While of course there is a full indoor bathroom, you are robbing yourself if you don't take advantage of the outdoor heated back yard shower under the stars every night after a day full of activities. The large clothes line out back is perfect for drying a days worth of SCUBA gear/clothing. There is a nice gas grill for handy outdoor cooking and honestly the location was so great we cooked at the house and ate in every night while watching the sun go down. Lastly, the owner was exceptionally responsive to all my questions and a gracious host. All in all I couldn't have imagined my vacation rental for my first trip to the Big Island going any better than it did. Aloha!
