My family and I had a great trip. The house was as described, if not better than described. The house is a short drive from Kona. There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. It is a very quite relaxing place to stay. There were 7 of us in total and we had more than enough room. Amma was great and helped us with the house when we had any questions. We also had an amazing history lesson of the area from one of the owners. We took a kayak out to the Captain Cook memorial and did some of the best snorkeling I have done on the islands thus far. Also, if you wake up early, you can be enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching spinner dolphins in the bay. Truly amazing. Not only was it a nice stay, but Amma was more than accommodating in letting us stay an extra hour while we were trying to leave the island just hours before Hurricane Iselle made landfall. I hope the house and all occupants are doing well after the storm and that other families get to spend their vacations here. If we come back to Big Island, we will definitely keep this house in mind. If you have a Cost-Co membership you can stock up on food and beverage in Kona and there is a local store nearby where you can by the needed toiletries.
