We stayed 2 weeks and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset almost every night!
The location was wonderful for us! We were just a few minutes from Spencer Beach, and a couple more from Hapuna Beach. The kids made extensive use of the house beach equipment, and the driveway shower was super convenient for cleaning everything up before coming inside. We loved the outdoor shower in the back with a view of the ocean! We ate a dragonfruit and had limes from the trees in the yard! We travelled to Waimea almost daily, and it was about 15 minutes each way. Driving to Kona was about 45 minutes, and Hilo was about an hour.
I fished the shoreline just north of Spencer Beach and caught dozens of fish in a few hours - it was a lot of fun! I wish the house had a couple poles because I ended up having to rent some in Kona for $50 for a couple days. The poles I rented weren't fancy, and I probably could have bought one for that price.
The rooms were clean and comfortable - each with a separate air conditioner, so everyone could sleep at whatever temperature they like best. The only exception was the lanai, which only had a fan. But our son slept out there, and he likes a warmer temperature when he sleeps, so it worked out.
The laundry on site was great, and we made good use of it while we were there. The only thing I would recommend is that a retractable clothes line be added somewhere (maybe in the lanai or back yard) for drying the things we didn't want to put in the dryer.
There is no dishwasher in the kitchen, which we knew about in advance, and it wasn't really a problem for us. However, if you don't like doing dishes by hand - be aware! Also, the knives in the kitchen could use a good sharpening. I tried to use the sharpener I found in the cabinet, but it didn't make much of a difference.
Overall it was a great value, and the perfect location for us! We preferred to spend our time at the nearby beaches, and visiting Waimea. Several days we went to either Kona or Hilo, and we were located roughly between both, which was nice. I'll definitely look for this place again when we come back!
