The house is very comfortable with 3 large bedrooms each with its own large bathroom. The kitchen is large and well equipped for cooking (although a knife sharpener would be a welcome addition) and partying . The upstairs lanai is particularly nice for lounging with the sound of the creek and nice breezes. The location is quiet and peaceful (The evening singing of the kokee frogs reminded us of the crickets in the summer at home). The swimming and snorkeling areas on the Koloa and Kona coasts are about a 45 minute drive through Waimea (can be longer when traffic in Waimea is backed up). Hilo is about a 50 minute drive along the beautiful tropical northeastern coast of the Big Island. This is a great place to stay if you don't have to be right on the beach.
