We just got back from a month's stay in this beautiful property. We did a lot of cooking in the kitchen and it had all the pots, pans, knives, Tupperware, etc., that we needed. The black lava beach is just a very short walk (15 seconds!!) away and was a terrific place to watch the sunsets. There is lots of outdoor seating and even a couple of hammocks for the times you just wanted to hang out at the house. The location is ideal - right off Ali'i Drive but far enough set back to be really quiet. Very close to most restaurants in Kona. We were sad to leave its tranquility and hope to return someday!!
