This home is in such a beautiful neighborhood with stunning views of the ocean and the city below. It is in very close proximity and short drive to shopping and beach-front restaurants as well as some Luau spots. The house itself is a great size for larger families with plenty of dishes and cutlery to enjoy the delicious local eats. The mattresses are soft and cozy, perfect for a good night's rest after a day shopping or on the beach. Easy check in and check out process and the property manager is kind and easy to communicate with. Some things to prepare for while you stay at this residence: The AC wasn't working while we were there and some ceiling fans were also not properly working so be prepared to be hot inside the house or be out of the house for most of the day; there is no oven for baking in the kitchen except a small countertop toaster oven so don't plan to make any baked dishes; the only parts of the snorkel gear that we found were the flippers so we had to buy our own mask and breathing tubes; the pool is filled with Green Algae. If you can deal with these minor inconveniences, you'll truly enjoy your stay on The Big Island and in this house.
