Pros: A great location. 20 minutes from KOA airport and in close proximity to all attractions on the Kona side and the Volcanoes national park. Amazing evening sunset views. A nice pool for an evening dip. Enough rooms for atleast 4 small families. Responsive Host.
Cons: MANY to list! The pool floor is jagged. 4 kids in our group got cuts and bleeding by brushing their feet against the pool floor. Surely a bad experience. Not enough silverware (spoons). Not enough trash bags and laundry pods for a 12 member-8 day vacation. We had to buy our own. When mentioned this to the host, we were told that enough was provided and we were on our own if we wanted more (Surely not something you want to hear when spending $9,000!). BUGS!!!! Sitting around the pool and enjoying the breeze (when it blew) was a PITA with the bugs. Do not even consider this home if you are allergic to OR hate bugs. Ceiling Fans and the ceiling-fan-light in all rooms are operated with a remote. In one of the rooms, the fixtures were responding to the remote control in a different room. Took us 3 days to figure it out and we slept through the light being on and fan not working for 3 full nights. Host had no clue this happened, which is surprising.
Overall: Although the views were great and the house is spacious, it surely not worth the $9K for 8 days. Way overpriced. We will not stay at this location if we were to visit again. I recommend to look for alternate houses.
