The house is fantastic!!! It was the perfect place for our family of 4 (including kids age 8 and 3). The house is gorgeous inside and out with 5 star views and luxury amenities.
The house is 3 stories with the bedrooms on the top floor each with their own bathrooms (stocked with soap, shampoo, etc.) and ocean view decks. Both bedrooms are very comfortable. The second bedroom has a big walk in closet that our son used as his own bedroom with the twin airbed. The outdoor shower/mermaid tub was one of our favorite features and total luxury.
Downstairs on the main level is a large, modern, and fully stocked open kitchen with windows onto the ocean. It opens onto a deck with a large glass table for meals with wonderful ocean views and fresh breezes. Stairs from the deck lead down to the patio which had lots of space to hang out and play. From there you could climb the rocks out to the ocean to play in the tidepools and check out the crabs and fish and crashing waves.
The house included lots of great supplies for the beach- boogie boards, beach chairs, an umbrella, sand toys and water shoes in every size.
The house faces west which means amazing sunsets nightly but also hot afternoon sun directly into the house (esp. the kitchen and living room). To cool down the downstairs (not air-conditioned) we used the roll down shades to block the afternoon sun as needed and left the windows open for fresh air to come in. If you like afternoon naps we recommend bringing eye masks since the bedrooms get very bright.
The house is walking distance from downtown Kona. The sidewalk was just a stripe on the road so we didn't feel safe walking with our young kids but it seemed fine for adults and a great feature for adult visitors who want to skip traffic/parking in downtown.
