Like others have mentioned before my family just returned from a stay here and the view was unbeatable. We only ever ate outside on the deck it is too good to pass up! The house is well stocked with any supplies and small appliances needed. The wifi and cable were very good too. Cell service can be spotty in that area depending on your carrier. If staying in this area please be sure to bring enough long sleeves or “warmer” clothes. It can actually be a little cool at night and mornings and it does rain almost everyday.. mostly in the afternoon consistently. But the rain is only in the mountains , once you get closer to the beach it is almost always clear there so do not worry! I would ask first about what specific beach supplies are provided before your stay. There is plenty of snorkel gear though for sure!
There is a beautiful national park on the beach about 15 min away (lots of windy roads on the island). The main shopping and tourist areas in in ‘downtown’ Kona about 25 min away or so. Do your grocery shopping there! Plenty of options.
This location is a very good middle ground if planning on going to Volcano national park and black sand beaches to the south and a more tourist white sand beach areas to the north.
The owner was very good with communicating and we will never forget that view!!!
