This place is even better in person. Sitting in the shade on the couch in the living room feels like I’m also on the beach—it’s crazy! Also so much fun to walk out to the water and see the amazing tidal ecosystems in the lava fields! The adventurous were getting right in the water on calm days. Right in Kona, so we walked to numerous places, plus easy drives to any of the major sites. All beach needs are available in the garage (snorkel, boogie, chairs, umbrellas, etc). Loved doing Tiki torches at night and eat outside. Grill and well-stocked kitchen were great for cooking. Crows nest is fabulous at all times but especially sunset! People also enjoyed sleeping up there with the aerobed, as we had 6 adults and 2 teens. Felt like we had plenty of room! Quick responses to all our needs!
