Paul's place was great. We loved the communication and information beforehand, and during our stay. The house is in a good location that allows you to drive almost anywhere on-island in less than 2.5hrs. We opted for the extra King suite and were grateful for the additional bed (we had four couples total). The kitchen has everything you need and the linens are provided in every room, closet and drawer. The washer/dryer was a HUGE help, especially with beach towel laundry and mid-week cleanup. We loved using the grill and some of the beach supplies. We sat outside for meals and enjoyed a few sunsets from the lanai/deck. No AC was a concern for us... but it ended up being ok. (We know Waikoloa is dryer/warmer, but we had never spent much time there because our Ohana is in South Kona.) The house gets very warm during the middle of day and we visited in August, so I imagine it isn't like that monthly. We shut/cracked all the windows when we left each day to trap the cooler breeze and avoid the afternoon heat. We re-opened windows and screen doors in the cooler evenings to allow the breeze back in. The neighbors all seemed very nice and it was luxurious to have a garage to park in! We will definitely consider booking again the next time we bring friends to Big Island.
