This house was absolutely perfect. We had 8 guests, 5 adults and 3 kids, and there was ample room for all of us. The house itself it ideal in all respects. It is located up a hill, offering breathtaking ocean views from the lanai, and is surrounded by tall palm and other tropical trees, making it feel very private from the neighbors. The yard and the pool is large, offering plenty of room for little ones (and adults) to play. The yard is landscaped beautifully and is well taken care of. I loved listening to the birds welcome the day and the frogs singing at night. The kitchen opens up to the dining area and living room, which works well for family gatherings. There is small office area just upstairs from the kitchen in a loft, which was perfect for sneaking in some work (if needed on vacation). There are air conditioners in each of the 4 bedrooms making sleep easy in the warm, humid summer weather. Even though the living areas were not air conditioned, there are plenty of doors, windows and fans which kept the indoor temperature very pleasant. There is a closet full of pool and beach supplies, including chairs, umbrellas, floaties and coolers, and more than enough beach towels to go around. The location could not be beat. 5 minutes to Safeway, Longs and Walmart, and about 8 minutes to Target and the Kona shopping and restaurant district. Cheryl was wonderful and very responsive. I would come back to this house in a heartbeat.
